rWotD Episode 2949: Artesonraju Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Saturday, 31 May 2025, is Artesonraju.Artesonraju is a pyramidal mountain peak located near the city of Caraz in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range in the Peruvian Andes. It is located at the Peruvian province of Huaylas and its slopes are within two cities: Santa Cruz and Caraz. Its summit has an elevation of 6,025 metres (19,767 ft) (or 5,999 metres (19,682 ft) according to the IGN-Peru map). It is one of many prominent peaks (2772 metres) located within the boundaries of Peru's Huascarán National Park. Artesonraju has two distinguished climbing routes. Due to their difficulties, Artesonraju is seldom successfully climbed in comparison to other well known mountains in the Cordillera Blanca. This mountain serves as the inspiration for the Paramount Pictures production logo.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:52 UTC on Saturday, 31 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Artesonraju on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Jasmine.

In the film, Hunt and his Impossible Mission Force team unite to prevent the Entity, a rogue AI, from unleashing global destruction against humanity.In January 2019, Cruise announced that the seventh and eighth Mission: Impossible films would be shot back-to-back with McQuarrie co-writing and directing both films. Plans for the eighth film later changed in February 2021. Returning and new cast members were announced soon after, including Lorne Balfe, who composed the score for two other films in the series: Balfe was later replaced by Max Aruj and Alfie Godfrey. Principal photography began in March 2022 but was halted in July 2023 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Production resumed in March 2024 and concluded that November, with filming locations including England, Malta, South Africa and Norway. The film, originally titled Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two, dropped its subtitle in October 2023, and the new subtitle was announced in November 2024. With an estimated budget of $300–400 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.The Final Reckoning had its world premiere in Tokyo on May 5, 2025, was screened out of competition at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on May 14, and was theatrically released in the United States on May 23, by Paramount Pictures.

In this episode of Bloody Essentials, hosts Nina, Ethan, and Jamie are joined by longtime friend and film enthusiast, John, to unearth a true hidden gem: Lucio Fulci's One on Top of the Other (1969). Long before Fulci became synonymous with splatter horror, he dipped into the world of erotic thrillers and proto-giallo suspense—and the results are deliciously twisted.Set against the foggy backdrop of San Francisco, this stylish thriller serves up double identities, sensual intrigue, and a murder mystery that keeps you guessing. It's Hitchcock by way of Italy, and it's time more people gave it the love it deserves.Join us as we break down Fulci's early masterpiece, its place in the evolution of giallo cinema, and why this seductive, suspense-filled ride is essential viewing for horror and thriller fans alike.

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoAt Thanksgiving in 1986, Paramount Pictures released a sci-fi, comedy,pirate adventure, caper film with the little title of: "Star Trek IV:The Voyage Home". It was an immensely popular (and financiallysuccessful) departure to what had come before! Amongst Trekkers theworld over, this is still considered the best Star Trek film evermade. And your hosts, James. Josh, Jack, and Joe concur. Without almost out of control child-like joy the guys recount,relay, and reaffirm why this film is such a classic. With unbridledenthusiasm--bordering at times on sheer lunacy--the boys relive thisunique cinematic experience. From the rag tag crew agreeing to returnto Earth to face the music, to the trip back to present day SanFrancisco, and ultimately saving mankind once again from itsshortsightedness, the boys are so invested in this film they arepractically part of the crew tagging along on this grand adventure.Had Dr. McCoy been present for this recording he would have sent themall to the sick bay for a full psychiatric evaluation. And for you film buffs, play close attention as Josh and Jack fillin much of the back story on how this addition to the Star Trek canonreached fruition. As the episode draws to a close it's clear the inertial dampenersare off line as the guys bounce from scene to scene, and are alsounable to reframe from firing off the many quotable lines from thefilm. At this point it's abundantly clear the hump back whales neednot fear these silly humans. But once you listen to this latestoffering of the podcast you will understand why the guys were so giddyfor sixty plus minutes. And like Spock, at the film's conclusion--Youwill feel fine.

The future of the Mission: Impossible movies was up in the air after the third film, with Paramount Pictures and Tom Cruise parting ways. It took some bridge building to get a fourth movie going, and even then, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol would bring with it changes. Plus, a contingency plan to replace Tom Cruise as the figurehead of the franchise going forward... Pixar meanwhile, around the same time, was working on an animated movie called Newt, that to this day remains the only time it announced a film, and then abandoned it. Both stories are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's guest is writer/director Natalia Leite. This director is one of the bravest filmmakers I've ever met. Her work on the VICE documentary ‘Life as a Truck-Stop Stripper was breathtaking. Not only did she direct the piece but one of the subjects in the film as well. Take a look below at her amazing work.Everyone knows what charming places strip clubs can be, but perhaps there is no club so charming as one in Moriarty, New Mexico—a truck stop with taxidermy and the bras of former employees on the walls, a few poles, a shitload of black light, and plenty of titties. Never mind that The Ultimate Strip Club List website describes it as the place “where strippers go to die.” Natalia Leite and Alexandra Roxo go Gonzo as they pose as strippers and experience something that can be best described as a Marina Abramovic performance crossed with a bizarro episode of Wife Swap directed by David Lynch's daughters, set in the type of place where a one-eyed guy who shot himself in the head dispenses meditation advice to two naked women.Natalia Leiteis a Brazilian writer/director. Her work has been described as having “a bracing, assertive style” (Variety), “emotional intelligence and sensitivity” (LA Times), and as “cementing the reign over highly stylized, sexually progressive dramas” (Slant).Her feature film “M.F.A.”, a psychological thriller centered around rape crimes in a university, premiered at SXSW 2017 and was nominated for a Grand Jury Prize. The film stars Francesca Eastwood and was released in theaters October 2017. Her feature film debut, “Bare,” premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2015, starring Dianna Agron.The film was released by IFC Films and Paramount Pictures. Natalia has created original content for Vice Media, most notably the provocative Vice show “Every Woman” which has garnered over 11 million views. She co-created and starred in the series “Be Here Nowish,” and has directed and shot documentaries internationally.Natalia is a contributing writer for Talk House and has been a featured speaker for NY Women In Film & Television, Apple Store Talks, IFP Filmmaker Conference, and numerous Universities. She also directs branded content for Vans, The North Face, Nasty Gal, and other companies. She recently signed with bicoastal production company Humble, her first commercial representation, and directs branded content for Vans, The North Face, and other companies.Enjoy my conversation with Natalia Leite.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.
