Gene and cohost Tim Swartz feature Gary D. Rhodes. He is a renowned film historian and author with a passion for uncovering the forgotten stories of horror cinema. He's a world expert on Bela Lugosi and Dracula, and will reveal the secrets of the tragic life story of this world-famous horror film legend. He will also talk about his book, "Weirdumentary: Ancient Aliens, Fallacious Prophecies, and Mysterious Monsters From 1970s Documentaries." The book unlocks the secrets of the strangest cinematic phenomenon of the 1970s. It's the ultimate guide to the bizarre, the unexplained, and the wildly entertaining films and television programs that blurred the line between fact and fantasy. "Weirdumentary" examines dozens of movies and TV series, sold to the unsuspecting public as documentaries, beginning with "Chariots of the Gods" (1970) and ending with "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow" (1981). Leonard Nimoy's "In Search Of" makes an appearance, and so does Orson Wells in his late-career role of sinister yet skeptical narrator. Although listeners to The Paracast know about their factual basis, many of these shows and movies featured spurious experts, questionable evidence, and low-budget dramatization. Acclaimed comic book artist, writer, and historian Stephen R. Bissette, best known for his groundbreaking work on DC Comics' "Swamp Thing" alongside Alan Moore, provides the foreword.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

Breve historia de la radio y Orson Wells retransmite la guerra de los mundos "Guerra de los Mundos" (en inglés: "The War of the Worlds") es un episodio de radio de la serie dramática "The Mercury Theatre on the Air", dirigida y narrada por el actor y futuro director de cine Orson Welles. Orson Wells hizo una adaptación radiofónica de la novela "La guerra de los mundos" de Herbert George Wells de 1898. Se emitió en directo como un episodio de Halloween, a las 8 PM un domingo del 30 de octubre de 1938. “Hoy sabemos que en los primeros años del siglo XX nuestro mundo estaba siendo observado por unos seres más inteligentes que el hombre y, sin embargo, igual de letales”. Orson Welles comienzo de La guerra de los mundos. Los oyentes que sintonizaron la emisión y no escucharon la introducción pensaron que se trataba de una emisión real de noticias, lo cual provocó el pánico en las calles de Nueva York y Nueva Jersey (donde se habrían originado los informes). La Comisaría y las redacciones de noticias estaban bloqueadas por las llamadas de oyentes aterrorizados que intentaban protegerse de los ficticios ataques de los marcianos.

This edition explores one of the worst incidents of racial hatred in U.S. history. It happened to Army Sgt. Isaac Woodard in 1946, as the African-American veteran was returning home from World War Two, where he earned a battle star, Good Conduct Medal, and the Service medal. When traveling through Batesburg, South Carolina, Woodard was removed from the Greyhound bus he was riding on, by the police chief and beaten by the chief and several officers with nightsticks, who ruptured his eyes, leaving him blind for life. At first, the incident received very little press coverage, but the news did reach President Harry Truman, who was well aware of the savage nature of the Jim Crow South. Truman demanded an investigation. The story also reached media icon Orson Wells, the famous, actor, journalist, stage and film director, who created and starred in Citizen Kane, which critics called one of the greatest movies of all time. Wells used one of his network radio shows to join with the NAACP in demanding justice for Sgt. Woodard. However, no officers were ever punished for the crime, and Wells was later blacklisted and banished from American media. He later left the country. You will hear his valiant campaign. It's estimated that thousands of black veterans were accosted, attacked, or lynched between the end of the Civil War, and the end of World War Two. More at KrobCollection.com

George Feltenstein joins the podcast to review the five Blu-ray releases in September.  We start with Orson Welles' "Journey into Fear," a film that, despite its tumultuous production, bears the unmistakable mark of his Mercury Theatre influence. We continue with a spotlight on the Technicolor splendor of Esther Williams in "Bathing Beauty." The meticulous restoration reveals the film's vibrant musical scenes that catapulted Williams to stardom. Next, we discuss the noir "Conflict" starring Humphrey Bogart in a darker, anti-hero role.  And then we delve into the heartfelt story of "I Remember Mama," highlighting George Stevens' post-war directorial vision and his son's dedication to preserving his legacy. We end with a Hanna-Barbera double feature with "JONNY'S GOLDEN QUEST (1992)/JONNY QUEST VS.

Thank you for listening to the Following Films Podcast. Today I'm joined by actor Rob Schnider and director Peter Byck. I had Rob on the show to discuss his latest film DEAD WRONG. The film is a story of greed, envy, sex, and murder. Centered on a narcissistic husband who is not satisfied with his life and wants more. He devises a psychotic, get-rich-quick scheme with his new, gambling-addicted attorney that ignites an emotional and deadly chain reaction. We also chat about Peter Bogdanovich, Orson Wells, Christopher Walken, Bruce Dern, and our shared love of physical media. Then after the break I'm joined by director Peter Byck to discuss Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there). Its a 4-part documentary series about inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to solving climate change with hooves, heart and soil. Can an underutilized way to graze cattle, that mimics the way bison once roamed the land, help get farmers out of debt, restore our depleted soils, rebuild wildlife habitat and draw down huge amounts of carbon? Cattle have been seen as eco-villains for a long time. What if they can help save us from catastrophic climate change? DEAD WRONG and ROOTS SO DEEP are both available on VOD. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/followingfilms/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/followingfilms/support

It's Orson Wells' birthday (May 6, 1919) so we are reaching into the vault, all the way back to episode 2!  Did a radio show purposely create a nationwide panic, sending people into the streets and mothers with shotguns into bathtubs?  Or were newspapers just blowing it all out of proportion because they were jealous of the newest form of media, radio? What happens when you apologize for other people's reactions to something you didn't realize you were doing?  How sorry can you be if you know you are going to be F A M O U S? And our new favorite part of the show, the AI overlord's episode summary: In this compelling episode of 'Apologies Accepted', hosts Theo and Juliette dive into one of history's most renowned media apologies - that of Orson Welles for the widespread panic induced by his 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast. The episode offers (a) an entertaining blend of comedy, historical narratives, personal story-telling, and insightful discourse on public apologies, as well as stimulating insights into the life of Orson Welles and the innovative storytelling that put audiences in a state of apocalyptic dread. Listeners will be taken on an illuminating journey, from the notable relevance of "War of the Worlds" to the current political landscape, to a discussion on the role of politics and the threat of World War II in influencing audiences' reactions. Theo and Juliette also delve into the genius of H.G. Wells, honing in on his futuristic predictions years ahead of his time, and how this added layer enhances the allure of the radio broadcast. The episode further delves into the underlying theme of fear subtly evoked in the audience and the power of mass media in shaping public outlook, while also questioning the authenticity of Welles' apology. Intertwined with fascinating reflections and light-hearted conversations, Theo and Juliette offer an engaging and enriching experience for those interested in historical narratives, media effects and dynamics, and the intriguing realm of public apologies.

"The Shadow" is probably the best known radio program... when polls were taken among college students who had never listened to OTR,"Can you name an old time radio show"... about 95% said, "The Shadow!" Series started in 1937 with Orson Welles initially playing the first year of the series. Later Bret Morrison, Bill Johnstone, John Archer, and Steve Courtleigh took on the role of tThe Shadow. Margo Lane was first played by Agnes Moorehead and later Marjorie Anderson, Marion Sharkley, Laura Mae Carpenter, Lesley Woods, Grace Matthews and Gertrude Warner. The series ended in 1954 and thankfully many episodes were recorded and have been preserved. Incidently the phrase, "The Shadow Knows" became part of our vernacular This episode will be stored in "The Shadow" Playlist.

As celebrities bask in their own fame, they are frequently offered exceptionally lucrative endorsement deals, often worth obscene amounts of money. But as this trend has grown over the past decade, many of the deals seem to be encountering significant problems! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's wine brand may take a hit due to their acrimonious divorce. Diddy (formerly Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Puffy and more) reportedly lost 18 brand partnerships due to assault allegations. And Adidas's billion-dollar deal with the controversial Ye (formerly Kanye) may end up costing them over a billion dollars…Really, no Really! So, is it worth hiring a well-known star to create awareness for your brand or has it now become a recipe for disaster? To help find the answer, Jason and Peter invited Mark Haas to join them. Mark is the CEO of The Helmsman Group which helps brands navigate the world of consumer-packaged goods and he's helped over 200 new product platforms enter the commercial market— representing more than $2 billion in sales over the last decade. IN THIS EPISODE: Would you buy a Jason Alexander rum called “No Rum For You”? What makes a celebrity and a product the right fit? The amazing story of how Don King committed Michael Jackson to do a Pepsi commercial without his permission. The one thing Samsung DIDN'T want to hear from celebrity endorser LeBron James. Do celebrities really need to enjoy the brands they're shilling for? How celebrities get involved with food and alcohol brands. The quality of the product or the veneer of the celebrity, which is more important? The difference between Ryan Reynold's remaking the gin market vs Orson Wells selling wine form a chair he's clearly been sitting in for quite a while. Jason pitches products that don't have a celebrity endorser…yet!

WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953) and INVADERS FROM MARS (1953) are two of the most beloved of the dozens of science fiction movies from that paranoid Cold War decade. Author Mark Clark joins me to compare and contrast them as we look at the massive differences in scale, budget and point of view that give each film its unique feel. Recent Blu-Ray releases allow a fresh evaluation of these movies and we dig into them from angles both personal and societal. Spoilers rise from every sandpit, so be aware!   We tackle the magnificent WAR OF THE WORLDS first, examining the elements taken from the source novel as well as from the classic Orson Wells radio adaptation. We discuss the story structure and the cast of amazing character actors familiar at the time from both radio shows and film. Design concepts and the faint traces of the book's tripods are touched on before we dig into the film rushed to theaters to compete – INVADERS FROM MARS! The William Cameron Menzies production design is discussed as well as the ‘trashy science fiction magazines' that seemed to inspire some the incredible images. We argue a bit over our preferred length but both of us wish there was less military stock footage slowing things down. The alternate British ending is brought up and I detail how I wish the American version ended. We do go on!  If you have thoughts on either of these Martian invasion movies thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send them. Thank you for listening.

Gitanas Nauseda and First Lady DianaRuta Lee's famous Hollywood Estate served as the perfect backdrop to receive a visit from Lithuanian Pres. Gitanas Nauseda and First Lady Diana, with Lithuanian Ambassador To US Audra Plepyte in attendance. The President and First Lady remarked on how the visit to the estate gave them the rare experience of Hollywood's golden era, as the former home of entertainment icons, Rita Hayworth and Orson Wells. In addition to the Hollywood luminaries that were imagined to have gathered at galas in the estates palacios living room, or having dinners of 20 or more in the dinning hall, as well as the thought of Ms Hayworth and Mr Wells themselves making an entrance on the grand staircase, is like stepping back in time, as mental images of “Citizen Kane” come to mind. The home still entertains Hollywood elite as guests of Ms Lee, past and present including George Chakiris, Rich Little, Phyllis Diller, Bob Hope, Alex Trebeck, Michael Feinstein, Carol Channing, Hugh O'Brien, Sally Struthers, Debbie Reynolds and the Rat Pack and many more. During the recent state gathering, with lunch prepared by “Star Chef” Joey Santos, Ms Lee was presented with a gorgeous Lithuanian glass art sculpture, in gratitude for her lifelong connection to and pride in her Lithuanian Heritage. Ms Lee's connection to her old work roots in Lithuania, stem from her grandmother, whose release from Siberia made international headlines, and the subject in her recently released, best-selling memoirs title “Consider Your Ass Kiss.” A title referencing the actions required and gratitude for the monumental effort to bring her family to America from Russia during The Cold War. At the time her grandmother made all the news and even went on Johnny Carson with her. In 2019 she returned to Lithuania as principal speaker for The Women's Day Convention. During her visit, she spent precious time with the now former President and Alma and had the pleasure of meeting the soon to be elected new President Gitanas Nauseda.

Did you know that brand storytelling can boost conversions by up to 30%?  We've all experienced the emotional impact of a great story–whether through books, movies, or TV. Now our latest podcast guest is showing us how to harness that power for our businesses.  John Ehrhard is the CEO and Founder of Orson, the first platform created to enhance human connection by sharing one's authentic self through automated video storytelling. He is a seasoned producer in the unscripted television industry, with over two decades of experience working with almost every major network.  Through his extensive career, John has mastered the art and science of unscripted storytelling, documenting over 50,000 hours of real people's lives. His expertise lies in the ability to understand audiences and craft real stories to convert strangers into devoted viewers and fans.  Storytelling at Scale John's journey into storytelling started with his own family. During the pandemic, he started manually capturing the life stories and memories of older family members. Putting his TV background to use, he then moved on to documentaries, creating personalized videos for Mother's Day and other holidays.  When his family started to share the videos with friends, John started getting requests from others who wanted to capture their own family memories. Creating individual videos was extremely time-consuming, so he started looking into how he could automate the process. Part of what makes storytelling so powerful is the element of connection–the relationship between the storyteller and their audience. John was at a loss for how he could deliver that experience at scale. That is…until AI came on the scene. After two years of hard work, John and his team cracked the code. They created an AI director that's able to conduct interviews, read facial cues, and ask follow-up questions. They named the software Orson after legendary director Orson Wells. Assembling the A Team John had a wealth of experience in the TV business, but the world of tech and AI was completely new to him. Now he was faced with the challenge of turning what he'd always thought of as an art into a science. As a first-time founder, John knew he needed the right team behind him. After raising capital for Orson, he leveraged investor relationships to put together a board of tech giants–people who knew the industry and had the right skill set to take Orson to the next level.  John says finding people who shared his passion for storytelling and “made his life difficult in a good way” has been a key ingredient for Orson's success. Not only did the board of investors bring new ideas to the table, but they also brought top talent, tapping into their networks to build an incredible team.  Enjoy this episode with Orson founder John Ehrhard… Quotes “Stories are how we connect fundamentally…learning about people's stories is how we inspire people, how we have empathy for people, and how we relate.” “The nature of the product we're building touched investors on a personal level.” “At the end of the day, helping people connect and capturing stories…it's really powerful.”   “The thing I always found fascinating was that people never stop evolving– our viewpoints, what scares us, what inspires us. But when you're in a relationship, you stop asking those fundamental questions.” “Any technology for good always has ways people can twist it. You just need to be careful and put precautions in place to prevent that.” “I think there's an art form to people who know how to share themselves in a way that doesn't feel like bragging or grandiose.” Links mentioned in this episode: Orson website: http://www.heyorson.com  Love Story wedding videos: https://www.thelovestoryshop.com/  Connect with John Ehrhard on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-ehrhard-9b191917b/
