In a prior episode, designer and illustrator Matt Stevens talked about why 2022's The Batman is such a great movie and how it has some elements from David Fincher's Se7en plus inspirations from various Batman sources, creating a unique vision. Matt does something similar in his own work. His latest project, Good Movies as Old Books from Chronicle Books reimagines films as vintage book covers. In that prior episode, Matt also talked about taking risks, going out on his own, leaving the agency world behind, and various side projects. Here, Matt discusses how maybe, sometimes a side project that looks and feels fun may not be a success but the momentum and direction it gives you could still have value. He also shares his opinions about two summer movies, Superman and The Fantastic Four.-Matt Stevens found himself frustrated with his current job as creative director at a brand agency, so he (literally) went back to the drawing board with an illustration project that turned out to be the perfect fit, designing a Nike Air Max shoe every day. After doing 50 drawings, he had initially chosen to end the project, but aimed for 100 AirMax1-a-day drawings that he'd showcase in an art book, accompanying website, and exhibition, also proved rewarding. To date, he's created multiple, self-initiated projects, including the Good Movies as Old Books project, now a book and postcard set available from Chronicle.https://www.goodmoviesasoldbooks.com/https://www.hellomattstevens.com/https://www.hellomattstevens.com/book-covers-varioushttps://www.hellomattstevens.com/store/batman-xwms5https://www.hellomattstevens.com/store/batman-xwms5-gnyzehttps://www.hellomattstevens.com/new-project-2https://www.hellomattstevens.com/blog/process-the-rookie-handbook-Taking Side Projects to the Next Level, HOW magazinehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1tXNGjxQv4jwbf77DJOffXpENtbJwcPPH/view?usp=sharingMatt Stevens on The Great Discontenthttps://thegreatdiscontent.com/interview/matt-stevens/-Other movies and shows discussed, alphabetical listThe Batman (2022)Breaking Bad (2008-2013)The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985)Se7en (1995)Superman (2025)

Matt Stevens, designer and illustrator, talks about The Batman, a unique take on the Bruce Wayne and Batman mythology brought to life by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, Paul Dano, and Andy Serkis. This 2022 version has less of the comic-y qualities that Joel Schumacher instilled in the 90s versions, but has a gritty, frightening ambiance closer to David Fincher's Se7en. In addition to The Batman, Stevens also talks about Good Movies as Old Books which reimagines movies as book covers.-Matt Stevens found himself frustrated with his current job as creative director at a brand agency, so he (literally) went back to the drawing board with an illustration project that turned out to be the perfect fit, designing a Nike Air Max shoe every day.

Kelly Bishop, legend of stage, screen, chorus lines and iconic television joins us to talk about her magnificent book, The Third Gilmore Girl! Kelly's media path took her from Broadway dancer to a Tony winning performance in A Chorus Line to her partial culpability for putting Baby in a corner in Dirty Dancing to Friday night dinners with Lorelei and Rory as Emily Gilmore. And the journey continues… As Kelly's book and this conversation reveal, she did it all with grace, charm, dedication, diligence and humility.First, we speak with singer/actor Sam Harris, whose rocket ride aboard starship Star Search launched him into millions of living rooms with his celestial rendering of Over the Rainbow. After battling Covid related vocal issues, Sam is readying his  triumphant return in a stage show he calls, Beyond The Rainbow.  Sam and Fritz discuss their shared history at a little Santa Monica nightclub called The Horn where they honed their crafts and were both discovered! Then Kelly Bishop tells us how her work ethic and confidence were shaped by a nurturing mother, who ran interference against her neglectful father, teaching her ballet and carving a path for her to reach for her dreams.Kelly shares how inspired she has been by show runners Amy Sherman and Dan Palladino and how taking on the role of Emily Gilmore allowed her to explore the relationship she witnessed between her mother and her grandmother. She also talks tenderly about her love story with her husband, Journalist Lee Leonard, her surprisingly primal response to the death of her father and her treasured friendships with Amy Sherman-Palladino and Lauren Graham. Kelly also gives us some hints about the newest Palladino project, Etoile, which is coming soon to Prime.

Do you have old books lying around taking up space in your classroom? Books no one is ever going to read again? Recently in our Facebook group, Creative High School English, a fun visual thread erupted all about bookish page displays. So in today's one minute idea-isode, I want to suggest you try one. You'll clear space on your shelves, help the earth with your reuse/recycle mentality, and end up with a stunning display. Here's how… Start by pulling the pages out of some old books. It will feel weird, I know. Save a few for the next time you're going to do a blackout poetry project, but stack up the rest and head to your bulletin board or wall.  Ideally you'll now work on a solid color, so paper the back of your bulletin board or choose an area of your wall with nothing on it. Next it's time to staple or tape your pages up in the design of your choice. You might create a river of pages coming across your bulletin board, paper the bulletin board entirely in pages so it's filled in entirely, or form the pages into a shape, like a tree, a bird, or a spiral.   Last but not least, it's time to overlay a bookish quotation on top. Choose from the dozens of wonderful ones out there from the last few centuries of authors. You can cut out letters to make a big and bold statement, or hand letter your quotation onto a big piece of paper you can overlay on the pages.  OK, that's a wrap on today's episode. If you'd like more display ideas for your ELA classroom, head to the blog version linked below where you'll see 10 fun visuals to inspire your next display.  Visit the Full ELA Bulletin Board / Display Ideas Post: https://nowsparkcreativity.com/2024/09/10-creative-ela-bulletin-boards-for-middle-and-high-school.html    Go Further:  Explore alllll the Episodes of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast.

Today on The Literary Life Podcast, we bring you another episode in our “Best of” series in which Angelina Stanford, Cindy Rollins, and Thomas Banks discuss the importance of reading old books. They begin the conversation by addressing head on the idea that old books are irrelevant. They touch on the fact that when we use the phrase “old books” we mean not just any piece of literature from the past, but those which have stood the test of time.  It's not too late to join us for the sixth annual Literary Life Online Conference, “Dispelling the Myth of Modernity: A Recovery of the Medieval Imagination” happening this week! During the live or later series of webinars, we will seek to dis-spell the Myth of Modernity and gain eyes to see and ears to hear Reality as it truly is. Speakers include Jason Baxter, Jenn Rogers, and Kelly Cumbee, in addition to Angelina and Thomas. Commonplace Quotes: So, when his Folly opens The unnecessary hells, A Servant when He Reigneth Throws the blame on some one else. Rudyard Kipling I am informed by philologists that the “rise to power” of these two words, “problem” and “solution” as the dominating terms of public debate, is an affair of the last two centuries, and especially of the nineteenth, having synchronised, so they say, with a parallel “rise to power” of the word “happiness”—for reasons which doubtless exist and would be interesting to discover. Like “happiness”, our two terms “problem” and “solution” are not to be found in the Bible—a point which gives to that wonderful literature a singular charm and cogency. . . . On the whole, the influence of these words is malign, and becomes increasingly so. They have deluded poor men with Messianic expectations . . . which are fatal to steadfast persistence in good workmanship and to well-doing in general. . . . Let the valiant citizen never be ashamed to confess that he has no “solution of the social problem” to offer to his fellow-men. Let him offer them rather the service of his skill, his vigilance, his fortitude and his probity. For the matter in question is not, primarily, a “problem”, nor the answer to it a “solution”. L. P. Jacks, Stevenson Lectures  Most of all, perhaps, we need intimate knowledge of the past. Not that the past has any magic about it, but because we cannot study the future, and yet need something to set against the present, to remind us that the basic assumptions have been quite different in different periods and that much which seems certain to the uneducated is merely temporary fashion. A man who has lived in many places is not likely to be deceived by the local errors of his native village; the scholar has lived in many times and is therefore in some degree immune from the great cataract of nonsense that pours from the press and the microphone of his own age. C. S. Lewis To Walter de la Mare  by T. S. Elliot The children who explored the brook and found A desert island with a sandy cove (A hiding place, but very dangerous ground, For here the water buffalo may rove, The kinkajou, the mungabey, abound In the dark jungle of a mango grove, And shadowy lemurs glide from tree to tree – The guardians of some long-lost treasure-trove) Recount their exploits at the nursery tea And when the lamps are lit and curtains drawn Demand some poetry, please. Whose shall it be, At not quite time for bed?… Or when the lawn  Is pressed by unseen feet, and ghosts return Gently at twilight, gently go at dawn, The sad intangible who grieve and yearn; When the familiar is suddenly strange Or the well known is what we yet have to learn, And two worlds meet, and intersect, and change; When cats are maddened in the moonlight dance, Dogs cower, flitter bats, and owls range At witches' sabbath of the maiden aunts; When the nocturnal traveller can arouse No sleeper by his call; or when by chance An empty face peers from an empty house; By whom, and by what means, was this designed? The whispered incantation which allows Free passage to the phantoms of the mind? By you; by those deceptive cadences Wherewith the common measure is refined; By conscious art practised with natural ease; By the delicate, invisible web you wove – The inexplicable mystery of sound.

This year on Old Books with Grace, I am offering a Lent series on penitential poetry from Early Modern poets. That is, on poems of the past that reflect on one's sin, on the need for forgiveness, on lament, on making things right, on conversion and satisfaction. In the spirit of Lent, this series will be stripped down to the essentials, which is something I'm trying to maintain in my own life this season. I will give you some background on the poet and poem, where you can find the poem, and translation information if need be. Then, I will read you the poem. I will offer five minutes of silence on the podcast. If you'd like to take this opportunity to meditate on the poem, here is space for you. Today's poem is The Agony by George Herbert. Philosophers have measur'd mountains, Fathom'd the depths of seas, of states, and kings, Walk'd with a staffe to heav'n, and traced fountains: But there are two vast, spacious things, The which to measure it doth more behove: Yet few there are that sound them; Sinne and Love. Who would know Sinne, let him repair Unto Mount Olivet; there shall he see A man so wrung with pains, that all his hair, His skinne, his garments bloudie be. Sinne is that presse and vice, which forceth pain To hunt his cruell food through ev'ry vein. Who knows not Love, let him assay And taste that juice, which on the crosse a pike Did set again abroach; then let him say If ever he did taste the like. Love is that liquour sweet and most divine, Which my God feels as bloud; but I, as wine.

O Lord, whose grace no limits comprehend;          Sweet Lord, whose mercies stand from measure free; To me that grace, to me that mercy send,          And wipe, O Lord, my sins from sinful me.          Oh, cleanse, oh, wash, my foul iniquity;                Cleanse still my spots, still wash away my stainings,                Till stains and spots in me leave no remainings.   For I, alas, acknowledging do know          My filthy fault, my faulty filthiness To my soul's eye incessantly doth show,          Which done to thee, to thee I do confess,          Just judge, true witness, that for righteousness                Thy doom may pass against my guilt awarded,                Thy evidence for truth may be regarded.   My mother, lo, when I began to be,          Conceiving me, with me did sin conceive: And as with living heat she cherished me,          Corruption did like cherishing receive.          But, lo, thy love to purest good doth cleave,                And inward truth: which, hardly else discerned,                My truant soul in thy hid school hath learned.   Then as thyself to lepers hast assigned,          With hyssop, Lord, thy hyssop, purge me so: And that shall cleanse the lepry of my mind.          Make over me thy mercy's streams to flow,          So shall my whiteness scorn the whitest snow.                To ear and heart send sounds and thoughts of gladness,                That bruised bones may dance away their sadness.   Thy ill-pleased eye from my misdeeds avert:          Cancel the registers my sins contain: Create in me a pure, clean, spotless heart;          Inspire a sprite where love of right may reign          Ah, cast me not from thee; take not again                Thy breathing grace; again thy comfort send me,                And let the guard of thy free sprite attend me.   So I to them a guiding hand will be,          Whose faulty feet have wandered from thy way, And turned from sin will make return to thee,          Whom turned from thee sin erst had led astray.          O God, God of my health, oh, do away                My bloody crime: so shall my tongue be raised                To praise thy truth, enough cannot be praised.   Unlock my lips, shut up with sinful shame:          Then shall my mouth, O Lord, thy honor sing. For bleeding fuel for thy altar's flame,          To gain thy grace what boots it me to bring?          Burt-off'rings are to thee no pleasant thing.                The sacrifice that God will hold respected,                Is the heart-broken soul, the sprite dejected.   Lastly, O Lord, how so I stand or fall,          Leave not thy loved Zion to embrace; But with thy favor build up Salem's wall,          And still in peace, maintain that peaceful place.          Then shalt thou turn a well-accepting face                To sacred fires with offered gifts perfumed:                Till ev'n whole calves on altars be consumed.

Welcome to this year's Old Books with Grace Lent Series. This year's series is on penitential poetry. That is, on poems of the past that reflect on one's sin, on need, on lament, on making things right, on conversion and satisfaction. Such poetry is part of an ancient tradition, dating back to the Psalms themselves. Today's poem is "Desire," by Thomas Traherne. You can read along below, or listen as I read: For giving me Desire, An Eager Thirst, a burning Ardent fire, A virgin Infant Flame, A Love with which into the World I came, An Inward Hidden Heavenly Love, Which in my Soul did Work and move, And ever ever me Enflame, With restlesse longing Heavenly Avarice, That could never be satisfied, That did incessantly a Paradice Unknown suggest, and som thing undescried Discern, and bear me to it; be Thy Name for ever praisd by me.   My Parchd and Witherd Bones Burnt up did seem: My Soul was full of Groans: My Thoughts Extensions were: Like Paces Reaches Steps they did appear: They somwhat hotly did persue, Knew that they had not all their due; Nor ever quiet were: But made my flesh like Hungry Thirsty Ground, My Heart a deep profound Abyss, And evry Joy and Pleasure but a Wound, So long as I my Blessedness did miss. O Happiness! A Famine burns, And all my Life to Anguish turns!   Where are the Silent Streams, The Living Waters, and the Glorious Beams, The Sweet Reviving Bowers, The Sadby Groves, the Sweet and Curious Flowers, The Springs and Trees, the Heavenly Days, The Flowry Meads, the Glorious Rayes, The Gold and Silver Towers? Alass, all these are poor and Empty Things, Trees Waters Days and Shining Beams Fruits, Flowers, Bowers, Shady Groves and Springs, No Joy will yeeld, no more then Silent Streams. These are but Dead Material Toys And cannot make my Heavenly Joys.   O Love! ye Amities, And Friendships, that appear abov the Skies! Ye Feasts, and Living Pleasures! Ye Senses, Honors, and Imperial Treasures! Ye Bridal Joys! Ye High Delights; That satisfy all Appetites! Ye Sweet Affections, and Ye High Respects! What ever Joys there be In Triumphs, Whatsoever stand In Amicable Sweet Societie Whatever pleasures are at his right Hand Ye must, before I am Divine, In full Proprietie be mine.   This Soaring Sacred Thirst, Ambassador of Bliss, approached first, Making a Place in me, That made me apt to Prize, and Taste, and See, For not the Objects, but the sence Of Things, doth Bliss to Souls dispence, And make it Lord like Thee. Sence, feeling, Taste, Complacency and Sight, These are the true and real Joys, The Living Flowing Inward Melting, Bright And Heavenly Pleasures; all the rest are Toys: All which are founded in Desire, As Light in Flame, and Heat in fire.

What pushback did you get on your Israel/Palestine interviews?  9:21  CS Lewis commends the reading of Old Books. What are your favorite ‘classics?' Would you say there are any ‘most Christians' should read?  12:20  What is the biblical basis for people stating that the 1st ministry priority is one's nuclear family? What is a good theology of family?  20:11  Thoughts on Church Discipline from 1 Cor 5? What about when someone believes they aren't living in sin, but I think they are? To them it wouldn't be unrepentant  25:37  What is Jesus' lesson in Luke 16:8? Can't imagine He's actually condoning the behavior of the dishonest manager? I'm stumped.  27:14  Was the Revolutionary War (American Independence) justified in your eyes?  29:40  When Jesus talks about the “Abomination of Desecration” being in the Temple as a future event- how are we supposed to think about this?  33:47  I feel like I fear hell more than love God. Do you have tips on how to switch that around? I grew up in a very fear based context, hell house productions, etc  37:30  Do you think street evangelism is a beneficial way to share the Gospel, or should we only focus on relationship-based evangelism?  44:44  Do you believe any part of the Bible is NOT God breathed/authoritative? (I.e. added in later, not original.)  49:55  Do you vote in elections? Thoughts on the 2024 election?  56:06  Is the view that Jesus is eternally subordinate truth or heresy? What is the biblical basis either way?  1:00:27  If we somehow discovered one of the lost correspondences of Paul, would it be Scripture?
