French culture holds a special place in Louisiana's heart, whether it's music, language, or food! On this week's show, we travel to France virtually and bring home a taste of their lifestyle and cuisine. We begin with Makenna Held, author of "Mostly French: Recipes from a Kitchen in Provence," which is both a cookbook and a chronicle of life in the French countryside, where she runs an innovative cooking school at Julia Child's former home. Then, James Beard Award-winning author Aleksandra Crapanzano lets us in on the sumptuous secrets of Parisian home bakers found in her book, "Gâteau: The Surprising Simplicity of French Cakes." Next, we revisit our 2015 trip to Paris, when Paris By Mouth's Jennifer Greco introduced us to a charming charcuterie in the Marais called Caractère de Cochon, a play on words that means "pigheaded." Finally, we head back to New Orleans to speak with Dominique Rizzo of Celtica Bakery. The French-born chef moved here decades ago to share his passion for the food of his native country.

Hang onto your slipcases, because Blake Howard and the legendary host of INCREMENT VICE - Travis Woods - break the balls of the Criterion 4K release of what he argues is perhaps the greatest movie of the 1970s, and therefore one of the greatest movies ever, William Friedkin's SORCERER.SorcererA hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, William Friedkin's pulse-pounding reimagining of the suspense classic The Wages of Fear was dismissed upon its release, only to be recognised decades later as one of the New Hollywood's boldest auteur statements. In a remote Latin American village, four desperate fugitives—a New Jersey gangster (Roy Scheider), a Mexican assassin (Francisco Rabal), an unscrupulous Parisian businessman (Bruno Cremer), and an Arab terrorist (Amidou)—take on a doomed mission: transporting two trucks full of highly explosive nitroglycerin through the treacherous jungle. Aided by Tangerine Dream's otherworldly synth score, Friedkin turns each bump in the road into a tour de force of cold-sweat tension—conjuring a hauntingly nihilistic vision of a world ruled by chance and fate.4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack approved by director William Friedkin, and alternate original theatrical 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the film and special featuresFriedkin Uncut (2018), a documentary by Francesco Zippel featuring interviews with Friedkin, screenwriter Walon Green, filmmakers Wes Anderson and Francis Ford Coppola, and othersNew conversation between filmmaker James Gray and film critic Sean FennesseyConversation from 2015 between Friedkin and filmmaker Nicolas Winding RefnArchival audio interviews with Green and editor Bud Smith, from the collection of Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan, author of William Friedkin (2003)Behind-the-scenes footageTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by film critic Justin ChangNew cover by Nessim HigsonTravis Woods (Host of INCREMENT VICE)Travis Woods is a Contributing Editor at Bright Wall/Dark Room, as well as a writer for The New Beverly Cinema and Cinephilia & Beyond.No Way To Managua: Bridging the Forces of Fate and Identity in William Friedkin's SorcererSupport: JOIN THE ONE HEAT MINUTE PATREON FOR AS LITTLE AS $1 A MONTHFollow the hosts:Blake Howard - Twitter & One Heat Minute Website Alexei Toliopoulos - Twitter & The Last Video StoreSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ever since Franz Anton Mesmer induced trance-like states in his Parisian subjects in the late eighteenth century, dressed in long purple robes, hypnosis has been associated with performance, power and the occult.  It has exerted a powerful hold over the cultural imagination, featuring in novels and films including Bram Stoker's Dracula and George du Maurier's Trilby - and it was even practiced by Charles Dickens himself.But despite some debate within the medical establishment about the scientific validity of hypnosis, it continues to be used today as a successful treatment for physical and psychological conditions. Scientists are also using hypnosis to learn more about the power of suggestion and belief.

Rocamadour et Cabécou de Rocamadour Rocamadour - A Cheese Named After a Fairytale Village Step into the breathtaking medieval village of Rocamadour, where stone houses cling to cliffs and ancient staircases lead to centuries-old sanctuaries. But this isn't just a tale of picturesque landscapes—it's the story of a cheese as enchanting as the village itself. In this episode, we uncover the rich heritage and creamy magic of Rocamadour cheese, one of France's most beloved goat's milk treasures. We'll explore the origins of Rocamadour cheese, from its first written mention in 1451 as a form of tax payment, to its elevation to national fame when it was served to President Raymond Poincaré in 1913. Discover how this small but mighty cheese earned its AOP status and carved out a place at the heart of French gastronomy. This is more than a cheese—it's a symbol of regional pride and artisanal dedication. You'll also get an inside look into the traditional methods used to craft Rocamadour: the slow curdling, delicate molding, and careful affinage that create its soft texture and signature nutty flavor. Whether served fresh and young or aged for deeper complexity, Rocamadour cheese delivers a taste of southwest France's unique terroir in every bite. Plus, I'll share serving tips, wine pairings, and why Rocamadour should be on every cheese lover's must-try list. And if you're hungry for more cheese stories, be sure to check out our past episodes with cheese legend Will Studd, cheesemonger Patrick Ambrosio on Mont d'Or, and cheese devotee Jenifer Cantal on the bold beauty of Cantal.

True to their deep, widescreen approach to both production and live-performing, Parisian outfit Atomic Moog clock in with a helluva sleek and lushly relief'd mix, recorded on the occasion of their latest live performance at Outre Bleu on March 29. Through their releases for the likes of Delsin, Appian, Lowless or Monument, the French duo has been carving a niche for itself at the fringes of the dubbed-out techno tradition and abstract-leaning experimentality. This two-hour jaunt into their reverb and delay-heavy imaginarium has us moving across narrow corridors and cathedral-large spaces by turn, exploring the concept of spatialization in dance music under a new, boundary-pushing light. Through focal-shifting jumps between acid-drenched beds of rippling analogue sine waves and sizzling machine circuitry, the constant angle shifts from macro to micro tell a tale of vibrant sound research, not quite picking a side between the dance floor's sense of purpose and genre-unbound, creative unintentionality.

It may sound cliché, but I suspect for most of you, Dorie Greenspan needs no introduction. Dorie is an accomplished baker, whose books range from an oversize volume of never-fail cookie recipes, Dorie's Cookies, to translating the recipes of master Parisian pastry chef Pierre Hermé, making them accessible to home bakers in Desserts by Pierre Hermé. And when Julia Child launched her TV show, Baking with Julia on PBS, she tapped Dorie to write the companion book, Baking with Julia. Dorie describes herself as a part-time Parisian, so I took advantage of her time while she was in Paris recently invited her to stop by my kitchen for a chat. We talked about many subjects, including our favorite baking pans, whether the U.S. is ready for metrics (or at least recipes in weights), how to get the hump in madeleines, and how she wrote, and cajoled recipes from pastry chefs and pâtisseries, for her Paris-based cookbooks; Baking Chez Moi, Around My French Table, and Paris Sweets.Her new book is Dorie's Anytime Cakes and features casual cakes, in all different shapes, sizes, and flavors…When Dorie came by, she (of course) arrived with cakes from Pierre Hermé and a box of macarons, including one flavored with tomato leaves and another with tonka beans. A few show notes:* When asked about her three favorite bakeries in Paris at the moment, she mentioned Michalak, Rayonnance, and Tapisserie in the podcast.* My favorite California Blenheim dried apricots are from Apricot King. * The European-style cake pan we mentioned is the Tea Loaf Pan from King Arthur Baking. (I mention it in my chocolate book, coming out in the spring of 2026.)I hope you enjoy our chat!- David* Follow Dorie on Instagram and Facebook* Visit her website: doriegreenspan.com* Subscribe to Dorie's newsletter: xoxodoriegreenspanSubscribe to my newsletter to get podcasts, recipes, Paris posts, and more sent right to your Inbox!

This is a solo ep, the first ever recorded from the comfort of the couch - and we're catching up on the past few weeks now that we're basically mid-summer (how crazy is that?!) We get in to the guilt that can sometimes come with taking the time to do "frivolous" or "fun" things at times, especially when you're in a situation where you feel your time might be needed elsewhere. Is it selfish and irresponsible, or is it just self care and filling your tank outside of the real of "pre-approved" self-care activities by the internet. We end the episode with a round up of Parisian recommendations, from where to stay where to go and what to eat from our most recent visit for Sara's college graduation and John's birthday - and sign off because Caro has started jogging with John after work (lol and fml) xx, stay hot honeys ♡ IG: @honeywerehomepod Email: honeywerehomepodcast@gmail.com Leave A Voicemail: speakpipe.com/honeywerehome Learn more about your ad choices.

Tom and Roxy dive into listener questions with sharp advice and sharper metaphors—like why a 1,000-point drop in the Dow is more like a slight temperature dip than a financial catastrophe. They cover smart asset location (where to put what), consolidation tips for retirement accounts, the often-overlooked costs of rental real estate, and the emotional tug-of-war between risk tolerance and capacity as retirement nears.

SUMMER IS SERVED—and Holly has the accessories to prove it. ☀️

Adriano Zumbo is a chef and TV presenter. He is one of Australia's most celebrated pâtissiers and the star of the Netflix TV shows Zumbo's Just Desserts and Sugar Rush. As a popular figure in the pastry world he has garnered many nicknames including, ‘The Sweet Assassin', ‘Pâtissier of Pain, ‘Dark Lord of the Pastry Kitchen' and has been lauded as ‘Australia's answer to Willy Wonka'. Adriano is a regular guest judge on MasterChef Australia and has appeared on Dessert Masters on Network 10. This country boy's first taste of the sweet life was raiding the lollies and cake mix from his parent's Coonamble supermarket. Adriano began his apprenticeship at the age of 15 where his love affair with pastry flourished. An appearance on the first series of MasterChef Australia was instrumental in introducing the croquembouche to an even wider audience and made Adriano – and macarons – a household name.  Adriano has released three bestselling cookbooks, has competed in several prominent international competitions including Coupe de Monde and the Asian Pastry Cup. It is, however, his love affair with confectionery, combined with his Parisian training at institutions that include l'Ecole Lenôtre, Bellouet and Pierre Hermé and which has resulted in a sensibility as delicious as it is irreverent.  Adriano is a favourite on the international events circuit traveling to India, Indonesia, Mexico, South America and Malaysia demonstrating his sweet skills to an audience of devotees.  Creativity is evident in every layer of Adriano's elaborate desserts. Constantly evolving and always considering his next move, cake, or idea, Adriano's infectious energy keeps his fans on their toes. They love it that way, and so does he.  We chat about the creativity, loss of his businesses and the toll it took, his love of creating, crazy macaroons flavours, stress and cooking, getting on TV & MasterChef, tailored needs of the school system plus plenty more!

Step into the deliciously nostalgic world of early 20th-century Paris, where a young woman named Ginette Mathiot was about to change the course of French home cooking forever. In this episode of Fabulously Delicious, we explore the remarkable life and legacy of the woman behind Je Sais Cuisiner — the beloved cookbook that became a fixture in kitchens across France and beyond. Born Geneviève Mathiot in 1907, Ginette's life was shaped by discipline, resilience, and an unshakable dedication to education and food. While she never followed her dream of becoming a doctor, Ginette instead turned her focus to household sciences — not the kind of “home ec” you might imagine, but a deeply respected academic field in France. Her journey from young teacher to best-selling author of more than 30 cookbooks is a story of determination, quiet rebellion, and clever culinary innovation. From classic French fare to adventurous international dishes, her recipes brought confidence and competence to millions of home cooks. We'll uncover little-known facts, like how Ginette's love life was thwarted by religious expectations, and how one of her most famous works was originally co-credited to someone who didn't write a word. We'll also explore the cultural and historical context that made her work so impactful — from post-war publishing struggles to her forward-thinking inclusion of global cuisines long before it was trendy. Whether you're a seasoned Francophile, a cookbook collector, or simply love a good underdog story with a delicious twist, this episode is a celebration of a true culinary pioneer. Ginette Mathiot may have lived quietly, but her influence has been anything but — her recipes continue to simmer, bake, and inspire in kitchens all over the world.

This week we are joined by an old friend of the podcast, the distinguished Canadian novelist Guy Gavriel Kay, whose wonderful new novel Written on the Dark is out this month. As always, we not only touch upon some details of the novel— which takes place in Kay's own version of an alternate 15th century France, featuring a Parisian tavern poet loosely based on the historical François Villon—but on the perennial question of Kay's unique mix of history, fiction, and the fantastic. This leads to a broader discussion of his fiction, the role of art and artists in his work, how fictional events from centuries ago can still resonate with events today, and even a bit on what it means to be a Canadian writer. Guy is as wise and articulate as always, and we never fail to learn valuable insights that leave us with much to ponder. Previously on Coode Street...

This full cast audiobook allows fans to experience Skeslien Charles' masterful storytelling in a new way that demands to be listened to for full effect of experiencing the Library, its patrons, and its employees.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Welcome back to Architecture 5 10 20! I'm your host, Guy Geier, Managing Partner of FXCollaborative Architects in New York. My guests for this podcast are pioneers and visionaries shaping the future of the built environment across various disciplines. Join me in exploring their remarkable journeys, discovering how they reach their current heights, and envisioning what lies ahead in the next 5, 10, and 20 years. I am excited to be joined today by Patrick Sisson! Patrick is a journalist whose work I really respect for cutting through the clutter around urbanism, housing, and architecture, and his journey from arts and media writing to focusing on how design and policy shape our cities truly gives him a unique perspective. We get into some fascinating things including his deep dive into the early projects of famous architects, revealing how their early works offered some hints toward the giants that they would become. Patrick shares some insights from the front lines of rebuilding after the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, where the challenges actually go far beyond just construction. We discuss the emotional, financial, and political factors that complicate rebuilding efforts, especially with budget shortfalls, insurance hurdles, and citywide pressures such as the upcoming Olympics - a true testament of how policy, community priorities, and infrastructure all collide in urgent moments. We also discuss the balance between sustainability and new development, with Patrick explaining how the tools to build greener, more resilient cities actually already exist but that what is missing is political will and commitment. Although he humbly stresses that he cannot offer a true Parisian perspective, his take on urban transformations in Paris and how lessons from abroad might inform LA's rebuilding is truly eye-opening. Towards the end of our conversation, Patrick and I also cover building codes and regulations that actually have huge implications for affordability, such as the push for “single stair” reforms that can change the shape of apartment buildings and open new possibilities for urban housing design, so if you care about the future of cities (how they grow, adapt, and recover from crisis such as wildfires), then you are sure to get a lot out of this episode!

The gang's all here! Joel, Kim and Chris return to serve up all the drama from Round 2 of Roland-Garros 2025 — and what a rollercoaster it's been! It was heartbreak for the British women as all three bowed out, but there's still hope on the men's side with a surprise all-Brit clash now set between Fearnley and Norrie. Meanwhile, Jack Draper lit up the Parisian night in a sizzling showdown with crowd-favourite Gael Monfils — and did his best to dodge a 5th set thriller!Emotions ran high as French maestro Richard Gasquet bid adieu to the sport on Court Philippe-Chatrier, falling to World No. 1 Jannik Sinner. We look back at his fabulous career (and that oh-so-silky one-handed backhand!). Elsewhere, big names like Djokovic and Alcaraz powered on, while seeds Tsitsipas, Ruud, de Minaur, and Mensik suffered surprise exits. While British women are out — with Raducanu falling to queen of clay Iga Swiatek — the American charge is alive and swinging, with Gauff, Keys, and Kenin all cruising through (rackets in hand this time!).

New episode out now with Charles Duff, author of The North Atlantic Cities. This is one I've wanted to record for years, ever since I read his book. Charles lays out a vision of city building that's neither skyscraper-packed Manhattan nor endless suburban sprawl, but something in between. Something tested, timeless, and deeply human.We talk about what makes cities like Amsterdam, London, and Boston so livable-and why they offer a roadmap for places like Oklahoma City and the Sunbelt. It's not about replicating Parisian density or banning cars. It's about building places where families can live in row houses, walk to a corner store, catch a train, and still have a backyard, space and privacy. It's about recognizing that the built environment is one of our biggest levers for addressing the environment, culture, economics, and quality of life–all at once.Charles explains how a bunch of brick houses built by 17th-century merchants ended up creating one of the most resilient, beautiful, and efficient urban forms the world has ever seen. And he makes a compelling case that we don't need to invent a new future, we just need to remember what already works.This one's for anyone who cares about the intersection of beauty, density, and sanity in our cities.

If you're a fashionista when you travel, there's a certain magic and charm that comes with dressing for the city you're exploring—not to try to fully blend in, but to become part of the story told by each destination. How to dress for a trip to New York, LA, Paris, London and Rome. If You Like to Bring Outfits on Vacation, Here's How to Do ItAt 1923 Main Street®, we believe your clothes should say as much about your journey as your photos do. Whether you're wandering through the lively streets of New York City, café-hopping in Paris, or soaking up the west coast vibes of LA, we've got you covered—literally.Let's talk travel style: unscripted, effortless and rooted in curiosity. Here's how to pack with purpose and style, wherever your itinerary takes you.Fashion-Forward Travel Outfits for Five Popular City DestinationsNew York City: Urban Pulse Meets Creative EdgeIn the city that never sleeps, your style needs to move with you—fast, fresh, and bold. For summer in NYC, keep it street-smart and breathable. Rock our Unscripted Statement graphic tee with relaxed cargo shorts or distressed denim. Swap the leather jacket for a lightweight button-down or leave it out altogether. High-top sneakers still rule, and bold sunglasses or a bucket hat add just enough edge without trying too hard. NYC style is about individuality—make a statement without shouting.For men, pair the same tee with slim, cuffed chinos or athletic shorts and standout sneakers. Leave the jacket at home, but keep the energy strong with layered chains or a structured cap. Whether you're downtown or crossing bridges, your look should feel effortless but always on.Paris: Effortless Chic on Cobblestone StreetsParisian style thrives on thoughtful simplicity, even in the summer. Trade heavy layers for a lightweight tee or tank (our Unscripted Dare to Roam design works perfectly) paired with high-waisted shorts or a breezy midi skirt. Add minimalist sneakers and a woven bag—or yes, a beret if you're feeling bold. The key: looking effortless while still turning heads. It's style without the show.For men, lean into quiet sophistication with a crisp tee, tapered chinos or linen pants, and clean leather sneakers. Swap the trench for a linen overshirt if there's a breeze. A slim watch and classic sunglasses seal the look. Parisian summer style whispers confidence—cool, collected, and always chic.Los Angeles: Laid-Back LuxeLA is home to many different categories of style, so your outfit here calls for comfort with a definite style edge. Our vintage-wash Roam Freely Wear Boldly tee is the perfect base for denim shorts, a flannel tied around the waist, and oversized sunglasses. This is a city where your look should feel as relaxed as your agenda—unplanned, free, and sun-kissed.For men, try our Unscripted Adventure Arch tee with joggers or shorts and comfy clean sneakers. Add a lightweight overshirt or open button-down for layering and finish with retro shades. London: Timeless Cool with a Rainy-Day TwistLondon style in summer is all about effortless cool and being ready for anything. Start with a breathable short-sleeve tee or linen shirt, then add tailored shorts or relaxed trousers. Swap boots for crisp white sneakers or sleek loafers, and don't forget a lightweight tote or statement sunglasses to elevate the look. Londoners master the mix of classic and unexpected—think a retro cap or a bold crossbody to finish it off. Sun or shade, the style always shines.For men, aim for laid-back polish with clean lines—our Unscripted Statement tee is a go-to. Wear it solo or toss on a light overshirt for breezy evenings. Pair with drawstring chinos or rolled denim, and complete the outfit with low-top trainers. A minimalist watch adds that refined summer touch. Londoners know how to make sunshine look effortless.Rome: Sun-Drenched Elegance with a Hint of DramaSummer in Rome is all about effortless elegance that sizzles with style. A linen-blend tee tucked into high-waisted trousers or a flowy midi skirt is perfect for wandering cobblestone streets or sipping espresso at a café. Add strappy leather sandals and oversized sunglasses for that classic Roman holiday feel. Gold accents—think hoop earrings, a sculptural cuff, or sleek cat-eye shades—bring just the right amount of drama. In Rome, style is art. Dress like you belong in a Fellini film.For men, keep it cool and polished with the same breathable tee, tailored linen pants or dressy shorts, and a slim leather belt. Loafers or crisp white sneakers are ideal for strolling through piazzas, and vintage-inspired sunglasses add a refined finish. In Rome, confidence is quiet and style is second nature—keep it sharp, simple, and sun-ready.The Key to it All: Blending in Without Losing YourselfThere's an art to the balance between respecting local culture and holding on to your personal style. That's where 1923 Main Street graphic designs really shine. Our designs are rooted in the soul of travel—each piece designed to evoke curiosity and wonder without shouting "tourist." It's about wearing your journey, not just walking through it. We know because we've lived it and each design has been thoughtfully created based on a very specific experience or destination.Packing Staples with Local Flair1923 Main Street t-shirt, sweatshirts and hoodies are designed to be versatile enough to wear in every corner of the world, yet each one has a story to tell. When packing, think layers: a tee for daytime exploring, a cozy hoodie for chilly nights, and a statement sweatshirt for those unexpected photo ops. Style them with city-specific accessories—scarves in Paris, a Yankees cap in NYC, or classic Ray-Bans in LA—and you've got a travel wardrobe that adapts, but never disappears.Travel-Inspired Designs for the Free-Spirited WandererAt 1923 Main Street, we design with the traveler in mind—those who believe the best moments are the unscripted ones. All of our designs are inspired by real places and the real people who wander them. These aren't just shirts—they're souvenirs in motion, crafted for the journey and the stories you'll tell after.Vibe with Your ItineraryYour clothes should move with your trip—not weigh it down. Whether you're brunching in a hidden Parisian café, wandering an arts district in LA, navigating subway stairs in NYC, or heading to a local pub in London, choose pieces that fit your mood, your moves and your moment. Comfort, confidence and curiosity all stitched together.Wherever your next adventure takes you, pack pieces that spark conversations and memories. Because at 1923 Main Street, we don't just make clothing—we dress the curious, the bold and the endlessly inspired.Unscripted journeys start with what you wear. So go ahead and Wear the Adventure.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 23, 2025 is: bastion • BAS-chun • noun A bastion is a place or system in which something (such as an idea) is protected and continues to survive. // The restaurant is a bastion of the region's ancient culinary traditions. See the entry > Examples: “In 2017, Harlem residents took to the streets to protest Keller Williams after the real estate company began marketing the neighborhood's 15-block southern radius (between 110th Street and 125th Street) as ‘SoHa' (South Harlem) without their approval. The biggest worry? That newcomers would attempt to erase Harlem's history as a civil rights nexus and bastion of Black American culture. In response, then-New York Sen. Brian Benjamin introduced legislation that banned unsolicited name changes and fined real estate firms for using names like SoHa.” — Jake Kring-Schreifels, Spokeo, 26 Mar. 2025 Did you know? Bastion today usually refers to a metaphorical fortress, a place where an idea, ethos, philosophy, culture, etc. is in some way protected and able to endure. But its oldest meaning concerned literal fortifications and strongholds. Bastion likely traces back to a verb, bastir, meaning “to build or weave,” from Old Occitan, a Romance language spoken in southern France from about 1100 to 1500. Bastir eventually led to bastia, an Italian word for a small quadrangular fortress, and from there bastione, referring to a part of a fortified structure—such as an outer wall—that juts or projects outward. Bastione became bastion in Middle French before entering English with the same meaning. You may be familiar with another bastir descendent, bastille, which refers generically to a prison or jail, but is best known as the name of the Parisian fortress-turned-prison stormed by an angry mob at the start of the French Revolution; the Bastille's fall is commemorated in France by the national holiday Bastille Day.

Send us a textREVENGE Major Content Warning: Plot-related sexual assault is mentioned throughout this episode.  Minor Content Warning: Filmic violence is and will often celebrated throughout Season 15.   Salut! and welcome to TGTPTU's long-awaited SQUIB SEASON (Season 15) and a return to the pod's unpatented temporal pincer movement with the series' first film covered being the most recent release: REVENGE (2017).   Distributed en Francais in France and Quebec as Revenge, the identically English-titled Revenge is Parisian auteur Coralie Fargeat's premier feature film; her second was last year's thrice Oscar-nominated THE SUBSTANCE, a.k.a. in Francophone countries as LA SUBSTANCE.  Fargeat's début film follows a familiar rape-revenge plot to tell a deliciously violence-laden story. Its deviations from predecessors such as I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (1978) (and presumably its little-watched 2010s redux quadrilogy) are smart, sans salacious depictions of the abuse, and put the emphasis on survival rather than on its title as Italian model and actress Matilda Lutz shows no merci, pardon, no “mercy” upon her assailant, her murderer, or either crime's bystander (a character renamed Jacque this episode for a passing resemblance to the French-Canadian skizzbag of Twin Peaks universe) when she's backed into a figurative corner of a barren desert.   As host Jacque's (“Jack” in American) pick, the film is no faux pas to start the season with. Its style possesses a je ne sais quoi freshness, lensed by regular Adil & Bilall collaborator Robrecht Heyvaert and scored by Caen-native ROB (né Robin Coudert).   Listen this episode as “squibs” is defined; Ken confuses his birds; and Ryan expresses a great liking for the picture's ass shots while Ken and Jack like its shots through the head and Thomas is nonchalant. Also, Ken tries out a few bits for seasonal stickiness; enfant terrible Thomas ends up putting a chapeau on a chapeau by trying out a French accent; and although they've not yet reached their second episode to pair the oldest to-boe-covered with this most recent, the entire seasonal start this episode has a sense of déjà vu.    Bon appétit et au revoir! THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!): Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

In Chapter 16 of The Book of Trump, Ghost welcomes engineer Brad Zerbo for a deep-dive into one of Donald Trump's most iconic creations: Trump Tower. What begins as a breakdown of Manhattan's architectural evolution turns into a full-on love letter to craftsmanship, strategic development, and the business mind behind the Trump Organization. From the stepped glass design of Trump Tower on 5th Ave to Trump City's sweeping Riverside South transformation, Brad shares firsthand experience building Trump projects and navigating New York's brutal construction world, where, he says, Trump was legendary for always paying on time. The duo also explores Parisian architecture, BOMA square footage battles, Gothic influences, tax abatements, and the philosophical shift from craftsmanship to soulless glass boxes. Then, they pivot to the future: Trump's bold expansion into the Middle East with new towers underway in Dubai and Jeddah. With floor plans priced from $1.1M and expected delivery in 2031, the Trump brand is positioning itself as a cornerstone in the coming global realignment. A rich blend of construction nerdery, historical context, and geopolitical vision, this episode builds far more than just towers.
