Photo by Dan McMahon Born 1989 Atlanta, Georgia. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, and works in the Bronx, New York. Emma McMillan searches for the pulsing vitality of life through non-human figurative paintings. Drawing, collage, macroscopic photography, and archival research are avenues for abstraction of the animal form. For several years a local Spotted Lanternfly infestation has been a commentary on the current state of human and animal affairs. The series, now expanded across species, takes on lusty and religious overtones of reincarnation. Sampling psychology, the natural world, and pop culture, her gem-hued oil paintings are complex reflections on living and its mutations across time. Emma McMillan has had institutional exhibitions at Atlanta Contemporary ArtsCenter, Atlanta Georgia, “Project X” (2019) She has had solo exhibitions at Sebastian Gladstone, New York, 2025, Sebastian Gladstone, Los Angeles, 2024, PhilippZollinger, Zurich, 2024, and a solo booth with PhilippZollinger at Liste Art Fair Basel, in June 2024. Other solo exhibitions include “Bleu de Prusse” at Edouard Montassut, Paris, France (2019), “Ornament and Crime” at Lomex, New York City, New York (2018), and “Live Burial” at Bad Reputation Fine Arts, Los Angeles, California (2017).

This week, I'm reading the nineteenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This chapter takes place in the study of Howard Hughes, the inventor of the Cirrus X-3 rocketpack in the world of the film (in Dave Steven's original story, it was his unnamed analogue of Doc Savage).  In this scene, you can see what's in Cliff's pockets, a Dave Stevens cameo as an ill-fated German rocketeer, an animated film featuring German rocket troopers, and references to the Spruce Goose (the Hughes H-4, a gargantuan - 218 ft long with a 319 ft wingspan - wooden flying boat meant to ferry men and equipment across the Atlantic during WW2).  Interestingly enough, the book has Cliff hang glide from Howard Hughes' study all the way to the Chaplin airfield (which was actually filmed in Santa Maria, CA, some 150+ miles northwest)!  Presumably, the airfield in the movie was not actually in Santa Maria.  That said, there is a museum there, the Santa Maria Museum of Flight, that has a number of remaining props used in the film, as it was the real life hangar used in the film (check out this clip for some very thorough detective work of filming locations).   Although it aired on Disney Channel around the time the movie was released, Rocketeer: Excitement in the Air (both a featurette on the film as well as a documentary on manned flight hosted by Billy Campbell) has some shots of the real life Spruce Goose as well as some shots of its maiden (and only) flight as well as some info on Howard Hughes.   It's well worth a watch! Thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

From Theory and Design in the First Machine Age, 1960

This week, I'm reading the eighteenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This short chapter takes place in the Bulldog Diner and features a scene where Cliff falls down a ladder from the attic after he is startled by Patsy, the daughter of the proprietress, Millie, and in the censored version we'd taped off the Disney channel when I was a kid, they actually dubbed over the work "heck," so instead of "you scared the living ... heck out of me!" it became "you scared the living daylights out of me!"  It's funny, when I think of that scene, it's still the censored version I hear in my head :) In other news, I have been getting Once Upon a Dream reading for production (6/13/25 is the release).  In the process, I made a "study mix" from some of the instrumental tracks.  If you click here, you can listen to it on Youtube. Thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

Send us a textWhat happened to the architectural manifesto? This fascinating question from a listener propels us into an exploration of how architects have historically proclaimed their design philosophies—and why such bold declarations seem increasingly rare in contemporary practice.The architectural landscape was once dramatically shaped by manifestos: Le Corbusier's "Towards New Architecture," Adolf Loos's "Ornament and Crime," and the revolutionary Bauhaus movement all articulated clear visions that transformed how we think about building. But today, as we scroll through endless Instagram feeds of similar-looking projects, has something fundamental been lost? Have we surrendered the courage to stake out distinctive architectural territory?We examine whether BIG's "Yes Is More" represents perhaps the last true modern architectural manifesto, and whether practice websites and mission statements have become watered-down replacements for the revolutionary spirit that once drove architectural movements. The conversation takes surprising turns toward craft, material engagement, and how the "tall poppy syndrome" might be preventing architects from boldly declaring their principles.Most importantly, we consider whether writing your own manifesto—even if just for personal clarification—could help combat the global homogenisation of architectural styles. By articulating what you believe about design, perhaps you can recentre your practice and contribute something meaningful to architectural discourse. As we navigate a world increasingly dominated by AI-generated forms and committee-driven decisions, maybe the time is right for a return to architectural conviction.Key Sources:https://www.archdaily.com/921760/how-to-write-an-architectural-manifestohttps://designformindfulness.blog/significant-manifesto-examples/https://www.architectural-review.com/awards/world-architecture-festival/a-manifesto-for-the-next-10-yearshttps://www.thoughtco.com/architecture-timeline-historic-periods-styles-175996https://archeyes.com/architecture-chronology-timeline-important-architecture-projects/ Chapters:0:29 - Episode Introduction2:03 - Defining Architectural Manifestos6:44 - Famous Historical Manifestos13:19 - Modern Manifestos - Do They Exist?17:56 - Global Homogenisation of Architecture27:43 - Manifesto vs Craftsmanship36:56 - The Future of Architecture47:14 - Love It or Hate It Wrap-upFollow us on @designpriciplespod on Instagram.If you wish to contact us hit our DMs or email us on info@designprinciplespod.com

  EPISODE 25 - ORNAMENT Ornament has always had an important meta function within the human psyche. It has been "outlawed" for the past 100 years.   RESOURCE LINKS https://www.gadarchitecture.com/en/ornament-in-architecture https://www.artforum.com/features/louis-sullivans-ornament-209337/ https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1354067x13515937?journalCode=capa https://medium.com/the-thinking-of-design/ornament-as-an-abstraction-of-society-853bb29cdf08 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PmydPmwrKA https://dreamswork.co.uk/portfolio/how-ornament-is-functional/ https://designmanifestos.org/adolf-loos-ornament-and-crime/   AK links: Four D Design - Organic Architecture, Geometry of Nature www.fourddesign.com Star Tile - Multidimensional Ceramics www.star-tile.com Star Tile Studio - Joshua Tree, CA https://g.co/kgs/DUMmCLh   Contact: ak@fourddesign.com     WHY DO WE USE ORNAMENT? - SIGNIFIER Social signaling - and this changes over time!  Example tattoos - British nobility 1900-1920 Historically it was the demarcation of class and status - governments had rules about what colors and types of clothing could be worn, so that people could never be socially mobile- Ornament on clothing has always been important for the military and in battle, people wore family crests / telling others who they were The same went for houses - all ornament had meaning that could be learned (this is western) Heraldry   WHY DO WE USE ORNAMENT? - SOCIAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL Belonging is so important that people will go into debt to buy clothing that lets them fit into a social group, or a car, or jewelry etc - people are wildly craving belonging, and ornament is a way to show your tribe.   OTHER REASONS: Repetition causes peace - relaxation of the nervous system By creating the ornament, the maker can embody the energy of the thing that might be feared  Establish historic continuity - memory, legacy. Spiritual Side of Ornament - Adornment, Defense, Totems, Enhancing Consciousness. META FUNCTION, embodied practice Adorning parts of us that are vulnerable - defensive and actively stating who we are / calling in our guides.   HISTORY OF ORNAMENT Industrial Revolution - 1851 - now possible to make cheap ornament / mass production Attempt at standardizing the language - Owen Jones “Grammar of Ornament” - huge interest in revival of styles / what we would now call Cultural Appropriation.. started with Archaeology around 1750, people discovering ruins, Marie Antoinette wearing toile / chinoiserie In victorian era, people started ascribing a moral judgment to the ornament - Augustis Pugin:  ornament should be flat if the floor is flat, not 3d etc.. can't be inappropriate.  He was a CATHOLIC in England - super religious, championed gothic revival because it was faith-based John Ruskin  - wrote on architecture but also on geology, botany, ornithology etc - polymath Said that the moral condition of a society could be determined by the ornament - ornament was being incorrectly applied- Shows what is leading up to the birth of modernism, nothing happens in a vacuum.   What Happened - Loos, Modernism and the 1920s As both Sullivan and Lévi-Strauss indicate, ornament (as well as other factors) becomes a language of social structures, social experience and even social contradictions. It signifies the status and position of the building, which is itself a representation of the importance of its “owners” and users. Here the manipulation of the image, or in architecture the adding of ornamental beauty to a structure, may increase its relative desirability and value. For buildings are models of ourselves and our society, communicating through form and organizational system the character of that society.   BUILDINGS REFLECT THE VALUES AND VALUE OF THE OWNER.   MODERNISM - WHAT HAPPENED? Adolf Loos Ornament and Crime The evolution of culture marches with the elimination of ornament from useful objects", Loos proclaimed, thus linking the optimistic sense of the linear and upward progress of cultures with the contemporary vogue for applying evolution to cultural contexts.[2]  "The child is amoral. To us the Papuan is also amoral. The Papuan slaughters his enemies and devours them. He is no criminal. If, however, the modern man slaughters and devours somebody, he is a criminal or a degenerate. The Papuan tattoos his skin, his boat, his oar, in short, everything that is within his reach. He is no criminal. The modern man who tattoos himself is a criminal or a degenerate. There are prisons where eighty percent of the inmates bear tattoos. Those who are tattooed but are not imprisoned are latent criminals or degenerate aristocrats. if a tattooed person dies at liberty, it is only that he died a few years before he committed a murder."   Where do we go from here - how do we start?   (HUMANS ALWAYS START OVER WITH FORMS FROM NATURE) Architectural adornment or ornament, like cooking—that most basic transformation of nature—is a way of being in and representing the world simultaneously, a world that in Sullivan's words “procreates man's own personality, that fits him, that he might feel at home with himself,” a world of natural objects transformed by the hand of man. This is why Sullivan defined the architect's task in a manner that reveals his belief in man's transforming power: the architect as the agent who brings nature into community.   James Trilling - The Language of Ornament Harvard-trained art historian, former Textile Museum associate curator, and independent scholar James Trilling expands here on many of the highly original themes that appeared in his The Language of Ornament (2001). He offers intriguing new views of the modernist movement in art and architecture, its puritanical hostility to ornament, and its manifold relationships to the history of technology, science, and industry in the phenomenon known as modernization. Trilling is a passionate advocate of ornament, and he makes a fervent plea for its revival, largely on the grounds that it gives pleasure and "makes people happy" (p. 227). Ranging widely across cultures, time periods, disciplines, and topics, Ornament: A Modern Perspective is a densely layered book of formidable learning, imagination, and complexity. The argument is deceptively simple and difficult to summarize; as Trilling writes of Comte (p. 177), "it is rarely possible to give the bare bones of a utopian vision without making it sound naive." Ornament for Trilling is a specific, intricate concept. He spends part 1 of his two-part book explicating this concept, by which he means the use of motifs and patterns by skilled artists/craftsmen, "the art we add to art" (p. xiii), in the creation of one-of-a-kind objects laden with cultural meaning and symbol, esteemed as art by collectors, connoisseurs, and knowledgeable art historians. In part 2 Trilling traces the links between modernism and the rejection of ornament. Though the focus is on the period since the pivotal Crystal Palace exhibition of 1851, his book includes an impressive intellectual history [End Page 418] of the many ways in which ornament was repudiated as idolatry and artifice in numerous societies long before modernism. But after the triumph of mechanization and the ascendancy of efficiency, materialism, and positivism, the leading theorists of modernism thoroughly devalued and assaulted ornament. The most famous instance was Viennese architect and critic Adolf Loos's 1908 essay that seemingly equated ornament with crime. Modernism's visionaries instead exalted functionalism and simplicity in architecture and design. They saw ornament as wasteful, inefficient, and, after the Industrial Revolution, as the product of dehumanized, debased workers far removed from the ideal of the skilled artisan/craftsman of the prefactory era. Modernism's subsequent long reign among intellectual and cultural elites (despite the thin, pale revolt of the postmodern movement), Trilling argues, has now all but blinded us to ornament, erased it from our collective memory and from art. Early modernist theorists sought to jettison the wealth of inherited patterns and motifs rather than welcoming their incorporation and reworking, as traditional crafts had done. (Ironically, one of Trilling's most original arguments is that modernism in fact had its own ornamental style, employing materials that had pattern and texture and creating art rooted in indeterminacy, "labile, ambiguous, unpredictable" [p. 217].) Trilling's mission is to restore understanding and appreciation of the rich, lost world of artisanal ornament. His book addresses artists, architects, designers, their clients and collectors, art historians—tastemakers and all who care about taste.                

This week, I'm reading the seventeenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This chapter takes place in Neville Sinclair's home, where he's kidnapped her, though she ends up figuring out how to get the upper hand, at least temporarily.  I don't remember if I usually fast forwarded through this part as a kid, but I think I usually wanted to since I always through Neville was such a creep (and this scene certainly hits different in 2025), but I have to admire Jenny's resourcefulness.  There was very limited merchandise put out for the Rocketeer, but I don't believe Jenny got any, which is a shame.  I have always thought that she should have her own action figure as well, and perhaps I will make one. I have some possible figures I could use.  ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

This week, I'm reading the sixteenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This chapter takes place in The South Seas Club, like last chapter, and is great fun.  Cliff wreaks absolute chaos on mob boss Eddie Valentine's club (crime doesn't pay, kids!).  The full clip is here. The novelization adds a few interesting tidbits that I suspect were artistic license, like the first person that Cliff runs into when he is on the waiter's cart being Margaret Dumont (who was in many Marx Brothers films as the straight woman to their gags).  Here she is with Groucho in a clip from A Night at the Opera in a somewhat similar location, this also being a fancy restaurant.Thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

This week, I'm reading the fifteenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This chapter takes place in The South Seas Club, and has one of my favorite parts of the movie this part where Cliff stands by the table with Neville and Jenny awkwardly and tries to poof up these flowers - which go right back to the way they were before.  I don't know why that part always used to crack me up, but it still does :)  The full clip is here.  Thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

Na een periode waarin het vooral aan tijdelijke en kleinere projecten werkte, is Monadnock een nieuwe fase ingegaan waarin het ook veel aan woningbouw werkt. Zo heeft het bureau ondertussen woongebouwen ontworpen in Nijmegen, Hilversum, Utrecht en Hannover. Daarbij slaagt het erin om de gelaagde architectuur uit het vroege werk door te zetten in zijn woningbouwprojecten. In gesprek met architect Job Floris over de benadering van het bureau en enkele recente projecten.Links naar de besproken projecten:Woongebouw Crevas in Nijmegen (Architectenweb)Woontoren in Nijmegen (Instagram)Park Paviljoen in Nationaal Park De Hoge Veluwe (Architectenweb)Landmark gebouw in Nieuw-Bergen (Architectenweb)Woongebouw Volante in Hilversum (Instagram)Binnen de plannen voor Hart van de Waalsprong is Monadnock gevraagd om drie belangrijke plekken in het stedelijk weefsel van een hoekaccent te voorzien. Zo wordt de belangrijkste invalsweg gemarkeerd met een ontwerp van Monadnock, krijgt het belangrijkste plein in het centrumgebied een woontoren naar ontwerp van het bureau en wordt straks de entree vanaf het oeverpark tot Hart van de Waalsprong benadrukt door een ontwerp van ze.In de podcast bespreken we de eerste twee projecten. Aan de invalsweg kondigt woongebouw Crevas het centrumgebied als een soort billboard aan. Het gebouw heeft twee heel verschillende gevels gekregen, die via een hoekaccent met elkaar zijn verbonden. De woontoren die Monadnock verderop in de buurt heeft ontworpen, richt zich in zijn architectuur nadrukkelijk op het centrale plein, geeft dat een richting. De andere zijden van de woontoren zijn eenvoudiger gelaten.Als de stedelijke situatie daarom vraagt, vindt architect Job Floris het heel logisch om een gebouw er aan de ene zijde anders uit te laten zien dan aan de andere kanten. Hij verwijst daarvoor naar de premoderne architectuur, waarin het heel gebruikelijk was om dat te doen, en heeft bijvoorbeeld van Asnago e Vender, dat in de jaren vijftig van de vorige eeuw veel realiseerde in Milaan, ook geleerd dat een ontwerp ook een assemblage kan zijn.In de podcast bespreken we verder wat hij geleerd heeft van Denise Scott Brown en Robert Venturi, van Mathias Ungers, en van Christian Rapp in de periode dat hij daar werkte. Met zijn bureau haalt Job uiteindelijk inspiratie uit architectuur van alle tijden: van de klassieke oudheid via Britse landhuizen tot het Scandinavische modernisme. De culturele dimensie van architectuur moeten we blijven doorvertellen, vindt hij, en dat kan bijvoorbeeld door ideeën, motieven of elementen uit het verleden in nieuwe ontwerpen opnieuw te interpreteren.Over de gelaagde architectuur die hij met zijn bureau nastreeft, geeft hij aan dat hij het zelf het interessantste vindt om te kijken naar iets dat zich langzaam aan je ontvouwt. Hij voegt eraan toe dat hij denkt dat gebouwen met een gelaagde architectuur langer gewaardeerd blijven.Na een kortere bespreking van het landmark gebouwtje in Nieuw-Bergen, dat het bureau ruim tien jaar geleden ontwierp, besluiten we de podcast met een gesprek over woongebouw Volante dat Monadnock in Hilversum Nieuw-Zuid heeft ontworpen.Deze podcast is mede mogelijk gemaakt door AGC.

This week, I'm reading the thirteenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This chapter takes place in the legit front for Eddie Valentine's business - The South Seas Club. In preparation for episode 500, coming in a few weeks, I've been toying with some ideas.  Let me know if you have thoughts!   Ideas for Episode 500: -group draw in (everyone draws or paints something) - could be talking at the same time -DnD one shot set in the Thirteenth Hour - would need a setting where people come and go, like a tavern or a river barge where people get on and then exit at their stop, or a gym, where people can do some pushups (see last one) then leave if they wish -Group hangout, akin to ep 400 (no particular topic) -Livestreaming playing the Rocketeer NES game (probably pretty short, as I'm terrible at this game) -Mini concert of the upcoming Once Upon a Dream album (this might be better as a future episode) -500 pushups, one for each episode, donated for a cause, like the Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation or St Jude or Hero Initiative. -A combination might work - like group draw-in with occasional breaks a people do some pushups in between draws until we get to 500.  We might have to do this live so people can pledge donations at the same time. -?

This week, I'm reading the twelfth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This chapter has a scene that for some reason always cracked my brother and I up as kids - the big bad guy, Lothar, picks up Cliff and shaves him through the ceiling headfirst a few times.  It's so cartoonish - like something out of a Looney Tunes cartoon - that I still can't help it, though adult me (who tends to smack his head on lots of things always kind of winces).  This shootout occurs just moments after.   Preview of coming events - in a few months (March, really), we'll be up to episode 500.  I have been thinking of a few ideas on how to make this a special episode, such as a group draw-in (where everyone hangs out and draws or makes something) or some kind of rolling DnD one shot in the world of The Thirteenth Hour where people can come and go ... what do you think I should do for episode 500?  Let me know!

hart van de stad tot leven bracht.En: It was the perfect setting for the Christmas market, which each winter brought the heart of the city to life.Nl: Sven stond midden op de markt, zijn ogen vol vurige gretigheid.En: Sven stood in the middle of the market, his eyes full of fiery eagerness.Nl: Hij was hier met één doel: het vinden van een zeldzaam antiek kerstornament.En: He was there with a single goal: to find a rare antique Christmas ornament.Nl: Zijn ogen scanden elk kraampje, op zoek naar die ene glanzende schat die zijn collectie compleet zou maken.En: His eyes scanned each stall, looking for that one shining treasure that would complete his collection.Nl: "Je moet echt kalmeren, Sven," zei Elise, haar jongere zus.En: "You really need to calm down, Sven," said Elise, his younger sister.Nl: Ze probeerde zijn aandacht van de marktkraampjes af te leiden.En: She tried to divert his attention from the market stalls.Nl: "We kunnen binnenkort wat chocolademelk drinken."En: "We could have some hot chocolate soon."Nl: "Ik heb geen tijd voor chocolademelk!"En: "I don't have time for hot chocolate!"Nl: zei Sven gefrustreerd.En: Sven said, frustrated.Nl: "Dat ornament moet hier ergens zijn.En: "That ornament must be here somewhere.Nl: De tentoonstelling is binnenkort en ik moet indruk maken."En: The exhibition is soon, and I need to make an impression."Nl: Plotseling

true!"Nl: mompelde hij terwijl hij zich een weg baande door de menigte.En: he muttered as he made his way through the crowd.Nl: Elise volgde hem, haar blik bezorgd maar vastberaden.En: Elise followed him, her gaze worried but determined.Nl: Zij was altijd degene die haar grootse broer weer met beide benen op de grond zette.En: She was always the one to ground her big brother.Nl: "Misschien moeten we Bram vragen om te helpen," stelde Elise voor.En: "Maybe we should ask Bram to help," suggested Elise.Nl: "Hij kan dingen zien die wij niet zien."En: "He can see things we can't."Nl: Sven aarzelde even, maar de gedachte aan zijn geliefde ornament op de zwarte markt was ondraaglijk.En: Sven hesitated for a moment, but the thought of his beloved ornament on the black market was unbearable.Nl: "Oké," gaf hij toe.En: "Okay," he admitted.Nl: "Laten we Bram erbij halen."En: "Let's get Bram involved."Nl: Bram, een oude familievriend met scherpe meesterbrein, verscheen snel op de markt.En: Bram, an old family friend with a sharp mind, quickly appeared at the market.Nl: Hij had eerder een zaak verpest en wilde zijn reputatie herstellen.En: He had messed up a case before and wanted to restore his reputation.Nl: "Laten we slim en onopvallend zijn," stelde hij voor.En: "Let's be smart and inconspicuous," he suggested.Nl: "Het is te druk om direct te zoeken."En: "It's too crowded to search directly."Nl: Sven knikte en trok een dikke, wollen sjaal om zijn gezicht.En: Sven nodded and wrapped a thick, woolen scarf around his face.Nl: Ze mengden zich in de menigte, hun ogen alert op verdachte activiteiten.En: They mingled with the crowd, their eyes alert to suspicious activities.Nl: Langzaam begon de sneeuw te vallen, bedwelmend als een mooie scène uit een kerstkaart, maar het maakte hun zoektocht moeilijker.En: Slowly, snow began to fall, enchanting like a beautiful scene from a Christmas card, but it made their search harder.Nl: Rond de basis van de grote kerstboom stopte Bram plotseling.En: Around the base of the large Christmas tree, Bram stopped suddenly.Nl: Zijn ogen vernauwden terwijl hij een man observeerde die een pakje overhandigde aan een andere.En: His eyes narrowed as he observed a man handing over a package to another.Nl: Iets aan de transactie leek niet helemaal pluis.En: Something about the transaction didn't seem quite right.Nl: "Daar!"En: "There!"Nl: riep Bram.En: Bram shouted.Nl: Sven snelde eropaf, zijn hart bonzend in zijn borstkast.En: Sven rushed towards it, his heart pounding in his chest.Nl: Vlakbij gekomen herkende hij een glimp van goud in het pakje, het verloren ornament!En: As he got closer, he recognized a glint of gold in the package, the lost ornament!Nl: Zonder aarzelen greep Sven het terug.En: Without hesitation, Sven grabbed it back.Nl: De verdachte man zette het op een lopen, zich verliezend tussen de kraampjes.En: The suspicious man took off running, disappearing among the stalls.Nl: Dankbaar draaide Sven zich om naar Bram en Elise.En: Gratefully, Sven turned to Bram and Elise.Nl: "We hebben het," hijgde hij opgelucht.En: "We have it," he gasped in relief.Nl: De sneeuw begon zwaarder te worden, als de wereld opnieuw hoopt, en alles om hen heen bedekte.En: The snow began to fall more heavily, as if the world hoped anew, covering everything around them.Nl: Maar Sven voelde warmte.En: But Sven felt warmth.Nl: Hij had het ornament terug, maar meer nog, hij leerde de waarde van vertrouwen en samenwerking.En: He had the ornament back, but more importantly, he learned the value of trust and collaboration.Nl: Die avond, terwijl de kerstmarkt onder een dikke laag wit lag, nodigde Sven Bram uit als eregast voor de tentoonstelling.En: That evening, as the Christmas market lay under a thick layer of white, Sven invited Bram as the guest of honor for the exhibition.Nl: Elise glimlachte tevreden, want haar broer was eindelijk gelukkig en vrij van zorgen.En: Elise smiled contentedly, for her brother was finally happy and free from worries.Nl: De kerstmarkt sloot die nacht af, niet met een gestolen schat, maar met de hernieuwde vriendschap en hoop op een betere toekomst.En: The Christmas market closed that night, not with a stolen treasure, but with renewed friendship and hope for a better future.

This week, I'm reading the eighth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This chapter introduces us to the Laughing Bandit, the role the villain Neville Sinclair is playing probably inspired by Errol Flynn swashbucklers from the era. There were also some cameos in the novelization (not in the film) with famous actors and films being made at the time Clark Gable (Gone with the Wind), George Reeves (Gone with the Wind, later famous for Superman), Mae West, and Margaret Hamilton (The Wizard of Oz).  There was a part of this scene that always confused me as a kid, since Neville Sinclair ends up stabbing one of his co-stars, Charlie.  I could have sworn as a kid that there was a whole side plot involving Charlie having discovered Neville's German spy moonlighting activities and Neville wanting to get him out of the way  But, to my knowledge, there never was a scene like that, and we actually don't even know about that side of Neville in the movie yet (we do in the novel, though).   I think that scene was just meant to show how self-centered and manipulative Neville could be as well as a plot device for a wedge to be driven between Cliff and Jenny, giving Neville a chance to move on Jenny.  But, the novel gives additional details that highlight his motives.  Turns out other people had similar questions about this scene - see here.  Thanks for listening! ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞  Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!

This week, I'm reading the eighth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This chapter introduces us to the Bulldog Cafe and tells us why Jenny's phone number is written on the wall next to the pay phone.  I always wondered about that and figured it was either a reference to the Tommy Tutone single from the 80s ("867-5309 / Jenny") or maybe the guys at the airfield had put her number up there to get a rise out of Cliff ("for a good time, call Jenny!").  The chapter also introduces the Rocketeer's iconic helmet for the first time.  Thanks for listening! ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞  Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!

This week, I'm reading the seventh chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This chapter introduces Jenny Blake, Cliff's girlfriend (called Betty in Dave Stevens' original comic as an ode to pin up icon Bettie Paige).  That part, in the film, went to Jennifer Connelly, who you may also remember from 1986's Labyrinth.   When I was a teen, I had VHS copies of Labyrinth, Howard the Duck, Some Kind of Wonderful, Sixteen Candles, and The Rocketeer taped off the TV (often the edited for TV versions and/or missing certain scenes) and those films were often on rotation on weekend mornings for me.  This section also introduces the character of Lothar, a character Dave Stevens based off character actor Rondo Hatton.

This week, I'm reading the sixth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This chapter introduces Eddie Valentine, the gangster doing the heavy lifting for Hollywood spy Neville Sinclair.  We get some backstory about Eddie that was not in the film as well as an early preview of Neville secret room where he sends encoded messages to his Nazi colleagues who want the rocketpack for themselves.  This is also the scene where Cliff and Peevy strap the rocketpack to a statue of Charles Lindbergh for testing and discover it may be a bit more unpredictable than they anticipated ... though Cliff is undeterred, much to Peevy's chagrin.
