Dal Vangelo secondo MarcoIn quel tempo, sceso dalla barca, Gesù vide una grande folla, ebbe compassione di loro, perché erano come pecore che non hanno pastore, e si mise a insegnare loro molte cose. Essendosi ormai fatto tardi, gli si avvicinarono i suoi discepoli dicendo: «Il luogo è deserto ed è ormai tardi; congedali, in modo che, andando per le campagne e i villaggi dei dintorni, possano comprarsi da mangiare». Ma egli rispose loro: «Voi stessi date loro da mangiare». Gli dissero: «Dobbiamo andare a comprare duecento denari di pane e dare loro da mangiare?». Ma egli disse loro: «Quanti pani avete? Andate a vedere». Si informarono e dissero: «Cinque, e due pesci». E ordinò loro di farli sedere tutti, a gruppi, sull'erba verde. E sedettero, a gruppi di cento e di cinquanta. Prese i cinque pani e i due pesci, alzò gli occhi al cielo, recitò la benedizione, spezzò i pani e li dava ai suoi discepoli perché li distribuissero a loro; e divise i due pesci fra tutti. Tutti mangiarono a sazietà, e dei pezzi di pane portarono via dodici ceste piene e quanto restava dei pesci. Quelli che avevano mangiato i pani erano cinquemila uomini.Commento di don Tonino, sacerdote della Diocesi di CuneoPodcast che fa parte dell'aggregatore Bar Abba: www.bar-abba

Dal Vangelo secondo MatteoIn quel tempo, Gesù giunse presso il mare di Galilea e, salito sul monte, lì si fermò. Attorno a lui si radunò molta folla, recando con sé zoppi, storpi, ciechi, sordi e molti altri malati; li deposero ai suoi piedi, ed egli li guarì, tanto che la folla era piena di stupore nel vedere i muti che parlavano, gli storpi guariti, gli zoppi che camminavano e i ciechi che vedevano. E lodava il Dio d'Israele.Allora Gesù chiamò a sé i suoi discepoli e disse: «Sento compassione per la folla. Ormai da tre giorni stanno con me e non hanno da mangiare. Non voglio rimandarli digiuni, perché non vengano meno lungo il cammino». E i discepoli gli dissero: «Come possiamo trovare in un deserto tanti pani da sfamare una folla così grande?».Gesù domandò loro: «Quanti pani avete?». Dissero: «Sette, e pochi pesciolini». Dopo aver ordinato alla folla di sedersi per terra, prese i sette pani e i pesci, rese grazie, li spezzò e li dava ai discepoli, e i discepoli alla folla.Tutti mangiarono a sazietà. Portarono via i pezzi avanzati: sette sporte piene.
On November 22, 1995, Martin Scorsese released one of the greatest gangster pictures ever made... For the second time... On this episode we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Martin Scorsese's 'Casino', the neon-soaked epic that proved nobody can portray beautiful chaos quite like Marty, Pileggi, De Niro, Stone, and Pesci. We'll break down the film's wild production, the real-life mob influences, why the film's costume budget was over a million dollars, and why Casino still shines brighter than any Las Vegas marquee did three decades later.Make a film recommendation for an upcoming episode!Thank you for listening!

What if your best year in business was also your breaking point?That's exactly where Nico Pesci found himself in 2021. His practice was booming, but between 50+ client meetings a week, late-night emails, and missed time with family, the cost was high. He was burning out.

Nico shares how he overcame the common advisor fear of “I can't afford to hire” and ended up with more time, more happiness, and more profit.4.) The Power of Slowing Down to Build Systems That ScaleLearn how slowing down to build internal processes became the key to accelerating growth—and why Nico believes systemizing is what separates sustainable success from lucky sprints.5.)

Little Joe sure can sing! In 1998, Joe Pesci released an album. "Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just for You" was neither his first nor his last record, but it is the only one to feature songs performed as his "My Cousin Vinny" title character. We cover that and much from from Pesci's storied musical career. Dustin takes us on a long journey to meet up with a little bit of KFLX history, and Shawn takes a crack at finding the origin of the most recognizable blues riff of all time.

Few films define holiday nostalgia as perfectly as Home Alone. In this Home Alone (1990) Movie Review, we revisit the timeless story of Kevin McCallister, the mischievous yet resourceful eight-year-old who accidentally gets left behind during the Christmas holidays. Directed by Chris Columbus and written by the legendary John Hughes, Home Alone continues to hold a unique place in cinematic history as a family comedy that delivers heart, laughs, and the unmistakable magic of the holiday season. Over 30 years later, it still has audiences of all ages doubling over with laughter and feeling the warmth of home and family.The Story That Sparked a Global PhenomenonAt its heart, Home Alone is simple yet ingenious. When Kevin (played brilliantly by Macaulay Culkin) wishes for his family to disappear after a rough night with his siblings, he wakes up the next morning to find his wish has seemingly come true. In a mad rush to catch a flight for their Christmas vacation in Paris, the McCallister clan accidentally leaves Kevin behind. What follows is a series of hilarious and heart-pounding escapades as Kevin fends for himself while also outsmarting two bumbling burglars, Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern), who are targeting his home.The setup is classic John Hughes: relatable yet heightened situations, endearing characters, and comedic chaos that is both innocent and wildly entertaining. Kevin's solo adventures—shopping for groceries, watching “grown-up” movies, and constructing elaborate booby traps—are delivered with such charm and humour that it's impossible not to root for him. The film transforms an eight-year-old kid's loneliness into empowerment, making it both touching and triumphant.Macaulay Culkin: A Star Is BornIf there's one performance that defines Home Alone, it's Macaulay Culkin's. At just ten years old, Culkin became a global phenomenon, and for good reason. He's mischievous, charismatic, and endlessly watchable. Culkin brings Kevin McCallister to life with a mix of childlike innocence and self-assured resourcefulness that feels natural and effortless. His comedic timing—delivering classic lines like “Keep the change, ya filthy animal” or his perfectly executed scream in front of the bathroom mirror—is nothing short of iconic.Kevin's journey from a frustrated youngest sibling to a confident, self-reliant hero gives Home Alone its emotional core. While the comedy is front and centre, Culkin can balance humour with a vulnerability that elevates the film beyond a standard slapstick romp.Pesci and Stern: The Perfect Comedy VillainsA comedy is only as strong as its antagonists, and Home Alone delivers two of the most memorable villains in movie history. Joe Pesci's Harry and Daniel Stern's Marv—collectively known as the “Wet Bandits”—are equal parts menacing and hysterical. While Harry brings a tough, scheming edge to their duo, Marv provides endless slapstick moments that make him a loveable doofus.Their dynamic is so effective because the movie allows their misfortunes to escalate with cartoonish delight. Kevin's traps—ranging from icy stairs to swinging paint cans—provide some of the most gleefully painful moments in comedy history. Watching the Wet Bandits fall victim to Kevin's booby traps remains endlessly entertaining, no matter how many times you've seen it.Chris Columbus' Direction and John Hughes' WritingHome Alone brought together two powerhouses: Chris Columbus, who would later helm Mrs. Doubtfire and the first two Harry Potter films, and John Hughes, the mastermind behind classics like The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Hughes' writing gives the film its wit, heart, and timeless humour, while Columbus' direction brings that vision to life with vibrant pacing and a keen understanding of comedic timing.The film moves seamlessly between laugh-out-loud moments and quieter, more heartfelt scenes. One of the most touching subplots involves Kevin's neighbour, Old Man Marley, who is rumoured to be a terrifying figure but turns out to be a lonely, kind-hearted man seeking reconciliation with his estranged family. This storyline adds depth to the film's themes of forgiveness, family, and the importance of connection.Cinematography and Score: Capturing the MagicJulio Macat's cinematography captures the cozy, wintry charm of suburban Chicago during the holidays. The McCallister house—now iconic in its own right—becomes a playground of chaos, warmth, and creativity. Each room provides the perfect backdrop for Kevin's traps and antics, while the snowy exteriors add a picture-perfect Christmas vibe.John Williams' score, meanwhile, is the cherry on top. The legendary composer (known for Star Wars and Jurassic Park) delivers a whimsical yet grand soundtrack that perfectly complements the film's tone. Tracks like “Somewhere in My Memory” evoke nostalgia and warmth, ensuring that Home Alone doesn't just make us laugh but also pulls at our heartstrings.Why Home Alone Stands the Test of TimeWhat makes Home Alone so enduring is its universal appeal. It's a perfect holiday film for families, kids, and adults alike. At its core, it's about the importance of family, even when they drive us crazy. Kevin's realisation that he misses his family—and his mother's desperate journey home—resonates with anyone who understands the true meaning of Christmas.But beyond its themes, Home Alone remains endlessly rewatchable because it's just plain fun. The slapstick comedy, clever dialogue, and standout performances make it a film that never feels dated. Whether you're watching it for the first time or the 30th, it still feels like a gift waiting to be unwrapped.Final ThoughtsIn our Home Alone (1990) Movie Review, we can confidently say this film remains a holiday classic for a reason. With its brilliant performances, timeless humour, and heartfelt message, Home Alone captures the magic of childhood and the warmth of family like few movies can. Macaulay Culkin's Kevin McCallister is a hero for the ages, while Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern give us villains we love to laugh at.More than three decades later, Home Alone continues to bring joy to new generations, reminding us all that sometimes being “left alone” can lead to the greatest adventures. So this holiday season, grab some popcorn, put on your coziest socks, and revisit the film that made booby traps cool and Christmas unforgettable.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/
What the Riff!?! delves once again into the great (and not so great) Christmas songs to add a little cheer as you rock around the Christmas tree this year. WSB Radio host Eric Von Haessler joins us for the fun!“The Holly and the Ivy” by Jon AndersonJon Anderson's fourth solo album came out in 1985, and was a mixture of traditional Christmas carols and original material. This is a traditional British folk Christmas carol. Though it can't be traced any further back than the 1800's, the association between holly and Christmas dates back to medieval times.“Please Come Home for Christmas” by the EaglesDon Henley, Glenn Frey, and the rest of the Eagles put out this popular sad Christmas track in 1978, though it was a cover originally performed by blues pianist Charles Brown in 1960, and co-written by Brown and Gene Redd.“The First Noel” by Crash Test DummiesFront man Brad Roberts puts his distinctive bass voice to work on this traditional Christmas tune. This carol originated in Cornwall, England and dates back to at least the early 1800's, using the French "Noel" as a synonym for the Christmas season“The 12 Days of Christmas” by Straight, No ChaserThis acapella group from Indiana University puts some comedic musicianship to work on this Christmas round. We know you'll like it, sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus from the Serengeti. “Nut Rocker” by Emerson, Lake & PalmerELP puts a prog rock spin on the classic Nutcracker Suite. Russian composer Tchaikovsky wrote the original Nutcracker as a two-act ballet in 1892, and is a fantasy taking place at the foot of a Christmas tree.“Christmas All Over Again” by Tom Petty and the HeartbreakersThis original song was penned by Tom Petty on a ukulele in 1992. It was used in the motion picture "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," and also appeared in "Jingle All the Way." Jeff Lynne co-produced the song, played bells, bass, timpani, sang background vocals, and wishes for a Chuck Berry Songbook in the song.“The Christmas Song” by WeezerThis is not the one you're familiar with. The more famous "The Christmas Song" was first performed by the Nat King Cole trio in 1946. Weezer did this introspective original song with the same name in 2000 on a fan club Christmas LP.“Minnie and Santa” by Cyndi LauperLauper released this light hearted Christmas song in 1998 which tells of a fling that Minnie (not the mouse!) had with old Kris Kringle. This may sound like a cover of a classic song, but it is an original written by Lauper and Jan Pulsford.“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” by Frank SinatraYou can't go wrong with Old Blue Eyes and a crooner Christmas classic. This song originated in 1943 and was in the musical "Meet Me in St. Louis," where it was sung by Judy Garland.“God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen/We Three Kings” by Barenaked LadiesThis Christmas medley also features fellow Canadian singer-songwriter Sara McLachlan joining in with the Barenaked Ladies.“Listen, The Snow is Falling” by Yoko Ono & the Plastic Ono BandHear us out - this is an Ono piece that is actually quite good! It was released in 1971 as the B-side to the better known "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," sung by John Lennon.“If It Doesn't Snow On Christmas” by Joe PesciChasing Macaulay Culkin isn't the only association Pesci has with Christmas. He put this cover of an old Gene Autry song out on his 1998 album "Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just for You."(and there might be a bonus ending related to the Beatles...)We at What the Riff?!? wish every one a blessed and Merry Christmas!

Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson return to the podcast to discuss Justice Warriors: Vote Harder from Ahoy Comics. But first, has it been 100 episodes since we last spoke to Matt and Ben? How old is everyone's kids? Is this comic dumb in a good way? How is this comic connected to 9/11? Is there an overall message the comic is trying to convey? Was Vote Harder only released as a trade? Has Justice Warriors predicted the future multiple times? Is P. Diddy a fall guy? Is there a secret conspiracy hidden within the comic? Would Ben make a great Riddler? Are we fans of zaniness? What are some of our favorite gags in the comic? What is The Great Popping Off? Do pneumatic tubes still exist? Is this the most political comic out this year? Was Robocop and Starship Troopers a big include on Justice Warriors? Is the Akira slide in this comic? How did they get H. Jon Benjamin for the Vote Harder trailer? How deep can Ben go on 9/11? How do we feel about Yellowstone? What hopes do they have to take Justice Warriors to the world of animation? What other potential plots for future volumes do they have in mind? What are the Meatball Riots? Will there ever be Justice Warrior one-shots and mini-series? Are Schitt's kids terrifying? Are the characters lovable even though they aren't necessarily good or self aware? Was this a compelling read for us? Could we predict the outcome of Bubble City's election? Did the comic end on a positive note? Do we feel bad for liking cops in media like The Wire? Is Justice Warriors officially greenlit for a third volume? What can we expect from Matt Bor's new Toxic Avenger series from Ahoy? Does Matt have a thing for mutants, especially the ugly and weird ones? What mainstream comic series would Matt and Ben like to work on? What is Planet Gun? Should Swamp and Schitt become space cops? Do we like volume 2 of Justice Warriors more than vol. 1? Would Justice Warriors make a great Adult Swim series? Would we sell out for Marvel money? And will Vote Harder get the highly coveted 666 Pesci rating? What would Swamp and Schitt's Mortal Kombat fatalities be? Is Justice Warriors relevant in the dumbest ways? Find out the answers to these and more on the newest episode of Comics and Chronic!
