Hey all! And welcome to a very special (and late - though that should come as no surprise) episode of the Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! This month, we reflect back on April, and talk about the people in our lives who helped shape who we both are as people. We also get a little into politics, and talk about the hypocrisy of organized religion. We even cap it off with not one, but TWO Star Trek references! To make that three and quote everyone's favourite 'plain simple tailor,' "I don't know about you, but I'd call that a bargain!" XDSo if that sounds like your cup of...whatever beverage you'd prefer, then put your headphones on, lay back, and click play. We'd love for you to join us!Death Becomes Her is a trademark of Universal Studios. All rights reserved.Star Trek is a trademark of Paramount Studios. All rights reserved.
Vi har besøkt Los Angeles, og i denne tredje delen av vår podkastserie forteller vi i reisebrevets form om våre opplevelser i byen – der vi besøker landemerker, studioer, kinoer og andre betydningsfulle steder i Hollywood. Hvordan går det med Los Angeles? Hvor sterkt står filmkulturen der nå, med et Hollywood i endring? Disse spørsmålene diskuteres stadig oftere, og i anledning innspurten av årets Oscar-sesong besluttet vi å reise til L.A. for å søke noen svar og rapportere hjem fra filmbyen. I del 1 av denne serien fra Los Angeles fortalte vi bl.a. om ankomsten til Hollywood og byens filmhistoriske betydning, og i del 2 besøkte vi Paramount Studios og Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. I denne tredje delen går vi på kino – nærmere bestemt løser vi billett til en 70mm-visning av Vertigo på Vista Theatre, Quentin Tarantinos nyoppussede kino, før vi reiser videre til en David Lynch-hyllest med visning av Blue Velvet på ikoniske Vidiots. På plass i Los Angeles og ved mikrofonene sitter Lars Ole Kristiansen, Pernille Middelthon og Karsten Meinich. God lytting!
Star Trek: The Original Series, Series 3, Episode 12. First broadcast on Friday 6 December 1968. Stardate: 5121.5. A series of urgent production catastrophes this week, as we arrive at Paramount Studios with no set, no lines for our female guest star, and a script with no story and no plot. Can these omnipotent bum-headed aliens help us out?
Vi har besøkt Los Angeles, og i denne andre delen av vår podkastserie forteller vi i reisebrevets form om våre opplevelser i byen – der vi besøker landemerker, studioer, kinoer og andre betydningsfulle steder i Hollywood. Hvordan går det med Los Angeles? Hvor sterkt står filmkulturen der nå, med et Hollywood i endring? Disse spørsmålene diskuteres stadig oftere, og i anledning innspurten av årets Oscar-sesong besluttet vi å reise til L.A. for å søke noen svar og rapportere hjem fra filmbyen. I del 1 av denne serien fra Los Angeles fortalte vi bl.a. om ankomsten til Hollywood og byens filmhistoriske betydning, og i denne andre episoden går reisen videre til andre tradisjonsrike stoppesteder: Vi besøker Paramount Studios og Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, to institusjoner som på hver sin måte forteller historien om Hollywood. Hos Paramount beveger man seg bokstavelig talt gjennom filmhistorien, da studioet ble etablert for over hundre år siden og fortsatt er operativt. På Academy Museum, som åpnet i 2021, er man i nye arkitektoniske omgivelser, bygget for nettopp å ivareta og formidle om filmen som kunstform. Våre utsendte gjenforteller sine opplevelser fra begge steder. På plass i Los Angeles og ved mikrofonene sitter Lars Ole Kristiansen, Pernille Middelthon og Karsten Meinich. God lytting!

Maria Maldonado Smith 08:19 The three questions are, what do I want? Yeah, it's interesting, because a lot of people don't, can't even answer that question for sure. You ask them, What do you want? I don't know. I don't know. The second one is, who do you want to become? Maria Maldonado Smith I also think that there's something beautiful in abandoning goals that no longer work for us.

“The Tragic Life of Classic Cinema Star Gail Russell” (082) - 4/07/2025 Hollywood legend has it that ethereal beauty GAIL RUSSELL was discovered after a Paramount Studios talent manager picked up two hitchhiking Santa Monica high school boys who told him all about the "Hedy Lamarr of Santa Monica High School." Allegedly, he then tracked down Russell at school and arranged for a screen test. The rest, as they say, is Hollywood history. If only it had been that easy. Russell, who was painfully shy and had no interest in a career as an actress was pushed in front of the camera by her ambitious mother and the executives at Paramount who saw dollar signs in her startling blue eyes. This week, we explore the life and career of one of Hollywood's most tragic beauties, GAIL RUSSELL.

Every year, the Multnomah County Library chooses one book they hope the whole city of Portland will read. Between January and April, the Library, and their partner organizations, host events based around the themes of the book, and they distribute thousands of free copies—thanks to the Library Foundation—to readers of all ages from across the county. Here at Literary Arts, our role is to bring the author to town for a talk in the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. This year, the 2025 Everybody Reads selection is the memoir Solito by Javier Zamora. For information about how to engage with the program, visit the Multnomah County Library's web site. I am thrilled to say Javier Zamora will be in Portland on Tuesday, March 11 at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall for the culminating event of the 2025 Everybody Reads Program. For now, let's return to the 2024 Everybody Reads event, featuring Gabrielle Zevin and her novel Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Gabrielle Zevin has been steadily publishing fiction for almost two decades and has also written occasional criticism as well as award-winning screenplays. But it was Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow that catapulted her to the stratosphere of literary stardom. It was a #1 New York Times bestseller and spent over 50 weeks on the fiction bestseller list. To be sure, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is about video games, and makes a convincing argument for the power and potential of narrative storytelling in video games. But really, it is about making art, and questions about originality, appropriation, and ambition that come with that pursuit. And perhaps more so, it is a love story, about friends and creative partners, and the excitement, joy, tragedy, and betrayal that come with any long relationship. It's about something, I'd wager, we've all been thinking about the past few years: connection. Tickets for Everybody Reads 2025 with Javier Zamora are on sale now! Find your tickets here. Gabrielle Zevin is a New York Times best-selling novelist whose books have been translated into forty languages. Her tenth novel, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, was a New York Times Best Seller, a Sunday Times Best Seller, and a selection of the Tonight Show's Fallon Book Club. Tomorrow was Amazon.com's #1 Book of the Year, Time Magazine's #1 Book of the Year, a New York Times Notable Book, and the winner of both the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction and the Book of the Month Club's Book of the Year. Following a twenty-five-bidder auction, the feature film rights to Tomorrow were acquired by Temple Hill and Paramount Studios. The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry also spent many months on the New York Times Best Seller List. A.J. Fikry was honored with the Southern California Independent Booksellers Award for Fiction, the Japan Booksellers' Prize, among other honors. A.J. Fikry is now a feature film with a screenplay by Zevin. She has also written children's books, including the award-winning Elsewhere.

On Episode 126 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Steve and Skye are joined by returning co-host Becky D'Anna. Becky is a marketing executive for Sony Pictures, a seasoned podcaster and an expert on film and the film industry, making her the ideal guest-host with which to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 thriller, Rear Window, starring James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Thelma Ritter and Raymond Burr. Shot on just one location, a huge set built on the Paramount Studios backlot, Rear Window is the ultimate tale of voyeurism as Stewart's wheelchair bound photographer, L.B. Jeffries, ropes in his beautiful socialite girlfriend Lisa (Grace Kelly) and his insurance company appointed nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter) into his personal investigation into what he believes is the murder of one of the residents of his bustling tenement block. A masterclass in visual storytelling, Rear Window is one of the Master of Suspense's most beloved films and certainly one of several peaks in a staggering filmography, a movie that would influence filmmakers for decades to come.

Episode Summary: Host Menina Fortunato interviews the multifaceted Sheldon Robins, whose extensive career encompasses film directing, producing, acting, and dancing. Sheldon begins by recounting his early days in New York, where he immersed himself in block parties and street dancing. This involvement led to his first significant break with LL Cool J and eventually prompted his move to Los Angeles. A pivotal moment in his career was auditioning for the Reebok City Jam series, where he was selected as a lead dancer. This opportunity not only allowed him to travel the world and learn Italian but also opened doors to modeling, choreography, and acting roles in productions like "Murder 101" and "Follow Me." Discussing his influences, Sheldon cites LL Cool J, T Roy, and Big Daddy Kane, and highlights his involvement with the mop top crew, which significantly impacted the hip-hop dance scene. He shares the importance of relationships and networking, sharing stories about discovering new talent and the value of a strong work ethic. Concluding with life lessons, He recounts having a show idea stolen, reinforcing the critical need for legal safeguards for creative work.

This one is a heart-breaker, friends. A real, honest to Sondheim heart-breaker. Like Avenue Q beating Wicked heart-breaker because, unless without a deus ex machina at Paramount Studios, we will never, ever see a musical that everyone says was one of the greatest musicals of the 1990s. Starring Christine Ebersole, Gregory Harrison, and......wait, why should I tell you when book writer Martin Casella and ensemble members John Bolton and Christopher Sieber can as they back on 1993's Paper Moon.

EPISODE 27 - “Dona Drake: What Price Fame” - 03/18/2024 Latina star DONA DRAKE, who signed a contract with Paramount Pictures in 1941, was many things — singer, dancer, actress, bandleader, musician — but one thing she wasn't, as it turned out, was Latin! While Paramount promoted their new discovery as a spitfire Latina born in Mexico City, Drake was, in fact, an African-American woman from Florida who pretended to be Latin, going so far as to learn Spanish fluently, in order to have a better chance at a Hollywood career. Listen to this fascinating story of one woman who went undercover just so she wouldn't have to play the maid.

This 80's flick is more than just a vehicle for laughs; it's a biting satire that skewers societal norms and exposes the fault lines of privilege and inequality. Its significance lies in using humor as a Trojan horse for razor-sharp commentary, causing audiences to laugh and reflect on the absurdity of the disparities between the haves and the have-nots. As we revisit this holiday cult classic, we will celebrate not only the impeccable comedic timing of its top-notch cast but also the film's ability to tackle weighty social issues with a lighthearted touch. Whether it's the memorable scenes in the commodities exchange, the rowdy party at Winthorpe's townhouse, or the unforgettable New Year's Eve train ride, it still holds up as a great example of satirical comedy that has an impact beyond its time. So, look over your pork belly futures, dust off your “quart of blood” karate technique, and try not to misplace your guerrilla costume as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Tyra Williams, discuss “Trading Places” from 1983 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast. Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: In his mug shot scene in the movie "Trading Places," Dan Aykroyd's character Louis Winthorpe III is given a number, 74745058, which happens to be the same number given to John Belushi's character Jake Blues in "The Blues Brothers (1980)." This was done intentionally by Aykroyd as a tribute to Belushi, who had passed away the year before. In Italy, on the night of Christmas Eve, a local TV channel Italia 1 broadcasts the movie "Trading Places", which has become a popular Christmas tradition. This is similar to the way the movie "A Christmas Story" is played on a continuous loop in the United States on December 24th and 25th. Along with "Trading Places", the tradition also includes airing of other movies like the first three "Home Alone" films, "Jack Frost", and "A Nightmare Before Christmas". During the summer of 1983, which lasted from June to September, the movie industry expected to surpass the previous year's record-breaking $1.4 billion in theater ticket sales. The season included highly anticipated films such as "Return of the Jedi" (the third installment in the Star Wars series), "Superman III", and the latest James Bond movie, "Octopussy". More than 40 movies were scheduled for release over the 16-week period, so studios had to carefully plan their release schedules to avoid competing with each other. Paramount Studios decided to release "Trading Places" at the beginning of the summer, so it could benefit from being in theaters longer during the busy season. Comedy movies were considered a counterprogramming strategy that attracted audiences who had already seen or were not interested in the major film releases, which were mainly focused on science-fiction and superheroes. "Trading Places" was released between "Return of the Jedi" in May and "Superman III" in mid-June. Although sequels were expected to perform well due to their built-in audience, "Trading Places" was predicted to be successful thanks to its talented cast.

Da Vinci code meets Indiana Jones in the setting of Inception. As the world nears a precipice of suffering, technology has become the answer to our problems. It seems that even with the greatest discoveries we still haven't figured out how to fix some of the main problems that plague humanity. Some people refer to this ceiling as the matrix, an invisible hand that puppets our every move on this planet. Melissa Tittl, investigative journalist and filmmaker, never really thought anything of this concept until a personal experience that haunted her. It became a journey to unravel an ancient code in the tombs of the pharaohs, the temple walls and ancient sites all over the world. She uncovers not only one code but two. One code that we use today in our current mathematical systems and a second code that hints at something more ancient and much more profound. A computer programmer warns her, "If you are in a simulation and you are asking these questions, whoever simulated you, isn't going to let you get this far. " Putting danger aside, she pursues her mission. She interviews geneticists, archeologists, biblical scholars, and quantum physicists that have all picked up the same code in their work. Could this be the next part of our evolution? Melissa weaves together profound evidence that our greatest human potential is hidden in plain sight, waiting for us to understand how the universe really works.Melissa Tittl - ProducerBorn from ancient wisdom. Translated to our new reality. Hathor studios was started by Melissa Tittl a producer, writer and director who has been implementing new narratives to the same old human storytelling. She created this company to develop content that uncovers the human potential hidden in the unknown. We are a full production studio known for documentaries, episodic TV and short content. We merge with talent all over the world to create art that influences the masses.Why did we name it Hathor Studios? Hathor is one of the original goddesses of Egypt. Her temple still exists in Dendera but her wisdom has been replaced with the ideals of a more famous goddess,Isis. We feel that her presence represents something humanity lost thousands of years ago, something we are searching for currently and something we may need to get to the next level of humanity.My life mission is dedicated to producing content about the world of the unknown that contributes to the fabric of society and our understanding of existence. Since childhood, I have been fascinated by narratives that challenge boundaries and promote critical thinking. This quest led me into a career in production, writing and directing as an investigative journalist. As Head of Content and Development for Gaia, I wrote and developed new story concepts into an expanding, global market. I also wrote and produced TV shows for major networks (Paramount Studios, Netflix, History Channel, Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, among other high-profile networks). Some examples are Ancient Aliens, The Universe, Hangar One and Ancient Civilizations, Chelsea Does on Netflix. But after over a decade in the entertainment industry, I felt we were producing the same material by asking the wrong questions. Hathor Studios was born to bring new consciousness and find new solutions to the issues plaguing society. My goal is to break the cycles and thought patterns that hold back human potential. I want to give people the courage and endurance to make real change by understanding the universe we inhabit.
