All over the world, for all of human history – and probably going back to our earliest hominid ancestors – people have found ways to try to keep themselves clean. But how did soap come about?

Tim Alberino sits down with Blurry Creatures for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the things mainstream Christianity won't touch. Why are military whistleblowers more nervous about giants than UFOs? What did the Watchers really want with human women? And how does a 1,100-pound red-haired giant allegedly end up in a military cargo plane? This episode connects dots between ancient texts, modern military encounters, and the coming disclosure narrative. Tim shares exclusive details about multiple military encounters with living giants in Afghan caves, the Kandahar Giant retrieval operation, and why occult groups at the top of the secrecy pyramid may be using giant remains for necromantic practices. We discuss the Watchers' rebellion, the true nature of the Nephilim, megalithic construction techniques, and how these ancient accounts relate to current UFO disclosure. This episode tackles the complex relationship between biblical theology and the UFO phenomenon, arguing that Christians need to move beyond medieval interpretations to understand extraterrestrial beings within a biblical framework. The discussion includes Bigfoot's potential telepathic abilities, the Phoenicians' role in global giant dispersion, and necromantic practices in places like Sardinia. We conclude with practical thoughts on government disclosure, distinguishing between real phenomena and deception, and why the existence of non-human intelligence doesn't negate biblical truth but rather fits within its larger narrative.This episode is a members-only exclusive.

The Poem of the Man God is a retelling of the Gospel story of Jesus of Nazareth as recorded in the private revelations of Maria Valtorta. In this episode, we pick up where we left on in Book Three: Cure of the deaf mute near the Phoenician Border.Original music by Angela Marie (Mohammed). Sacrifice. Messiah. Savior. Passion of Christ. Religion. Wisdom. Suffering. Catholic Christian. Theology. Apostles. Disciples. Believers. Followers. Early Church.

In this episode, we explore the fall of Rehoboam as recorded in 1 Kings 14:21–31 and the unique way the writer of Kings presents God's response to the Southern Kingdom of Judah. While Northern Israel's rebellion often led to swift judgment, Judah's kings were disciplined differently—not because they were better, but because of the Davidic covenant. God had pledged that every person sitting on the throne in Jerusalem would be a descendant of David. That promise shaped how He dealt with David's line: not with ultimate destruction, but with fatherly discipline.We unpack why Rehoboam's reign—though under David's shadow—was deeply compromised. The writer twice mentions Rehoboam's mother as an Ammonitess, likely highlighting the spiritual influence of Molech/Milcom, the Ammonite god on his life and leadership. The text also points to Judah's descent into worshiping Asherah, a deity known for gender confusion and even called the “walker on water.” This religious influence may trace back to Solomon's alliance with Hiram of Tyre, whose Phoenician religous culture likely shaped Israel during the Temple's construction.We examine how this spiritual corruption showed up: idolatry, sexual perversion, and idolatrous worship on high places—all of which distorted Israel's calling to be a light to the nations. Instead of standing apart, they became just like the peoples around them—part of the problem instead of the solution.But then, we pivot to Mark 6:45–46, where Jesus, Israel's true King, retreats to a high place—not for idolatry, but to pray. From there, He walks on water—not as a divine stunt, but as a fulfillment of Israel's longings. Where Israel's kings failed, Jesus succeeds. Where Asherah was wrongly worshiped as a "god who walks on water," Jesus actually does—revealing not a false god, but the true Son of God, come to complete the journey Israel had left undone.This episode offers a striking contrast between Rehoboam's failure and Jesus' faithful kingship, inviting us to see God's light breaking into Israel's darkness—a thread of hope woven towards the end of the most tragic chapters of the Old Testament.Key Passages: 1 Kings 14:21-31Mark 6:45-46Entry for Asherah in Dictionary of Deities and DemonsExplainer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Video⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on how to use ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.biblehub.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.blueletterbible.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a question or comment at our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website podcast page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music

This week we're bouncing things around to bring you a couple of films now (or only) on streaming services. Happy Gilmore 2 might not have been a movie anyone asked for, and there was certainly no sort of need for it at all, but you might find some laughs. The Phoenician Scheme is yet another "most Wes Anderson film ever," and that seems to be a hill with no summit. Full of characteristically deadpan delivery and utterly screwy plot, this is a movie that has something to say... about something. Tune in and get all our thoughts on these polar opposite takes on "comedy."

6/8. In Professor Eric Cline's After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations, the Phoenicians and Cypriates are highlighted as "antifragile", flourishing in chaos. Phoenicians, surviving Canaanites, took over Mediterranean trade, spreading purple dye and standardizing the alphabet. Cypriates, original copper suppliers, pioneered iron metallurgy, disseminating both goods and techniques, possibly out of innovation rather than just necessity. They used their Mediterranean access to even buy off the Neo-Assyrians with tribute.

Here are eight segments focusing on Professor Emily Wilson's work on The Iliad: 1/8. In her translation, The Iliad, Professor Emily Wilson addresses the complex question of "Who was Homer?" She explains that for centuries after the Mycenaean collapse, there was no writing in the Greek-speaking world, yet extraordinary oral stories of heroes like Achilles and cities like Troy were developed and retold by performing poets. Writing, borrowed from the Phoenicians, arrived in the 8th century BCE, leading to the monumental written poems like The Iliad and The Odyssey, which are sophisticated responses to this long oral tradition. 1578 JUPITER AND OLYMPIA

Wes Andersons nyeste film The Phoenician scheme begeistrer Sølvbergets formidlere Magnus Cappelen og Tomas Gustafsson.

The Phoenician Scheme is unlikely to win Anderson new converts, but offers plenty of pointed fun. Read more at: https://scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/.

Who was Ramses II, and why does his reign still fascinate historians today? In this deep dive, we explore the world of ancient Egypt during Ramses' time — from the topography of his empire to the cultural, political, and technological shifts of the Mediterranean. We'll uncover the role of the Phoenicians, the collapse of the Bronze Age, the winners and losers of this turbulent period, the great temples and carvings of Ramses II, the perception of pyramids in his era, and whether biblical accounts align with history. We'll also examine Egypt's economic systems, ancient technology, and the everyday lives of its people — from letters and myths to famine, cannibalism, and climate change.WELCOME TO CAMP!

Is Phoenix really the "kidnapping capital" of the U.S.? In this eye-opening episode of the Low Meins Asylum Show, we dig into the headlines that once branded Phoenix as one of the top cities for kidnappings in the world. We unpack the facts, debunk the myths, and break down who's actually at risk, where it happens most, and what YOU can do to stay safe. With hard-hitting stats, government reports, and real-world prevention tips, this episode is a must-hear for every Phoenician and true crime junkie alike. Stay woke. Stay aware. Stay alive.

1105. This week, we look at how the pronouns you use can be reveal your psychological state — for example, how using "I" versus "we" can signal how you are coping with a breakup or a tragic event. Then, we look at where our alphabet started, from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs to the Phoenicians and Romans.The psychology of pronouns segment was written by Valerie Fridland, a professor of linguistics at the University of Nevada in Reno and the author of "Like Literally, Dude: Arguing for the Good in Bad English." You can find her at valeriefridland.com.

Isaiah's tirade against Israel's neighbours continues, and with it come vivid descriptions of Near Eastern Mediterranean trade in the eighth century BC.But God's fury doesn't stop with pagan kingdoms and empires; Judah too is in the firing line.Oh, and in this episode, the prophet also strips naked, and remains "au naturel" for three years.Truly, there is nothing in the Bible quite like the Book of Isaiah!

Dave Don AND Bill chat about and review the best films they saw this week.

Today we use letters every day, but the alphabet had to be invented. Ancient peoples like the Phoenicians and Greeks created systems to represent sounds with symbols, making reading and writing faster and more accessible. This episode traces the alphabet's journey from pictures and symbols to the ABCs we know today—and explains how it transformed human communication.

Wes Anderson's latest moving picture delights.

Are you bewildered by botanical names, typically in Latin, the jargon, or the acronyms surrounding gardening and most other outdoors activities? This series, It's All Greek Retrospective, consists of previously aired podcast segments that provide some insightful descriptions in an attempt to untangle such language puzzles so we can all use the terms as intended... to describe things more accurately. In this first of three episodes, Master Gardener Jean Thomas discusses a variety of issues and questions about language. Some of the terminology we pretend to understand is reviewed in the first segment. Things like GMO and IPM are decoded, and what is it when scientists talk about a plant's habit? What does it mean if a tomato is described as determinate? And the whole idea of using Latin can be a puzzle. Jean explains all of these, The second segment goes more deeply into the whole idea of Latin as the international scientific language. Why Latin? And the credit that goes to Carl Linnaeus for devising the system known as binomial nomenclature. Like any other system, it gets bogged down with “improvements.” Taxonomy is the name for the whole system described by binomial nomenclature, and the history of the science of taxonomy is fascinating. For instance, minerals don't get included because the final decision was that only living things can be included. Basically, the assigning of a formal Latin name means that the plant described is always the same plant, not just another with a similar popular name. The third segment delves into how particular use of names can describe color as part of the formal identity. Often the formal name can give a physical description, but also can describe a dominant color. The history buffs enjoy such items as the origin of the phrase “royal purple” and how it came from the ancient Phoenicians and the rare dye they developed from a particular type of sea snail. This is a digression from plants, but a great example of the use and history of language. Another issue cropping up recently is the use of DNA. Scientists keep reallocating plants to different species and categories according to DNA interrelations that were previously unknown. Clarifications can be confusing. We hope you find this episode both enlightening and informative.

In this episode, we dive into three of 2025's most provocative and stylistically distinct films—Friendship, The Phoenician Scheme, and David Cronenberg's The Shrouds. While wildly different in tone and genre, these films share an undercurrent of paranoia, grief, and fractured connection in the modern age.We begin with Friendship, a quiet yet emotionally raw exploration of human bonds strained by time, trauma, and unspoken truths. Then we unpack the labyrinthine mystery of The Phoenician Scheme, a neo-noir political thriller that channels Cold War conspiracies into a stylish, cerebral puzzle about control and deception. Finally, we close with The Shrouds, Cronenberg's return to techno-horror, where mourning and surveillance intertwine in disturbing ways.From character breakdowns and thematic analysis to directorial styles and visual storytelling, we explore how these films challenge our ideas of intimacy, mortality, and trust in an increasingly disconnected world.Tune in for a deep dive into cinema's darker corners—and the ghosts we carry with us.Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

Director Wes Anderson has done something just about every person in his trade dreams to do: establish an instantly recognizable and virtually inimitable visual style.He's reached a point in his career at which a member of the moviegoing public could jump in halfway through a trailer with no prompts whatsoever and go, “Huh, Wes Anderson's got a new film coming out.” On this episode of Cinebuds, we ask the question: Has he reached a point in his career at which that's not necessarily a good thing?Prompting that discussion is Anderson's latest release, The Phoenician Scheme, which plays his greatest hits. Symmetrical shots? Yep. Scenes that could easily double as paintings? Sure. Flat, deadpan delivery? Bingo.As our hosts discuss, that final quality might be starting to catch up with Anderson, at least in this one. The Phoenician Scheme sports the top-notch writing and story beats we've also come to expect from Anderson. Yet, despite a cast with the ability to match that high level of scripting, they don't get a chance to create a character. Perhaps you know the adage, “Show, don't tell.” Based on our hosts' experience, The Phoenician Scheme could've used a little more of that. But was that enough to sink the whole ship or just tip it slightly from side to side?Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Co.

Recently released on home video and streaming, the film follows the cunning, reprobate industrialist Zsa-zsa Korda (Bencio Del Toro) as he swindles his way into a massive infrastructure deal in the country of Upper Independent Phoenicia.   Join Matthew Ellis and hosts Jason Christian, Tony Ballas, and Paul T. Klein as they discuss: The Phoenician Scheme's connections to the Congress for Cultural Freedom, a CIA-backed cultural operation from 1950 that weaponized writers, artists, and other thinkers for intelligence operations. How Anderson's film reveals the Cold War origins of the contemporary world in its critiques of capitalism and the neoliberal project.  The ways that The Phoenician Scheme breaks Anderson's hermetically sealed aesthetics and alludes to its formal limitations. _____________________ Each episode features book and film recommendations for further exploration. On this episode:  Matthew recommends Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later. Paul recommends Matt Zoller Seitz's The Wes Anderson Collection and Louis Althusser's “Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses: Notes Towards an Investigation.” Tony recommends Carpenter's Gothic by William Gaddis. Jason recommends The Darker Nations: A People's History of the Third World by Vijay Prashad. _____________________ Like and subscribe to Cold War Cinema, and don't forget to leave us a review!

I, myself, feel very safe! On the latest episode of the bonus pod, Spencer, Ethan, and MJ talk about Wes Anderson's latest flick The Phoenician Scheme. In all honesty, it should really be called "Pinstripe Suits: The Movie". We mean that quite affectionately because all of it looks so damn good! It's his best dressed (and most sartorial) film thus far. You can listen to a preview now, but you'll have to subscribe on Patreon for the full episode!

In Wes Anderson's latest living diorama he explores themes of death, family, God and Legacy.  Audiences are split on the film being A) an absolute snooze fest with soulless characters delivering flat dialogue or B) Wes' bestest yettest chock full of his signature dry humor and symbolism that's easy to miss.  Join the discord! - https://discord.gg/pX9JhgenPYFND Instagram - https://bit.ly/3Txr4IjVin's Letterboxd - vinnydegoAaron's Letterboxd - aaronfronkSupport the show

In 1997, thousands of Phoenicians saw mysterious lights in the night sky. A new film explores how those sightings altered the course of people's lives. Plus, Arizona's Turquoise Alert system gets its first test.

We like to think of the Carthaginians as the western extension of the Phoenicians, but Punic genetics suggest that they were primarily descended from local peoples. Did that create identity crises for them? How about for their elephants?

They say summer is the time for Rosé, but did you know that not all Rosé wines are the same? Bandol is the perfect example of a Rosé that may just surprise you. Yes, it comes from Provence in France, but it is made predominantly with the Mourvèdre grape, which is unusual, and creates a Rosé wine with surprising depth, character, and, dare we say, seriousness?!? If you're one of those people who is just not convinced about Rosé, Bandol may be the Rosé that changes your mind. Plus, in this episode, we talk about the ancient Phocaeeans who started viticulture in that part of France. And, no, we did not spell Phoenicians wrong. Look, you need to listen to the episode, and we'll set it all straight.  Wines reviewed in this episode: 2023 Château La Vivonne Bandol Rosé, 2022 Bieler Pere et Fils Reserve Bandol RoséSend us a Text Message and we'll respond in our next episode!Contact The Wine Pair Podcast - we'd love to hear from you!Visit our website, leave a review, and reach out to us: https://thewinepairpodcast.com/Follow and DM us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewinepairpodcast/Send us an email: joe@thewinepairpodcast.com

THE ELDEST SON of good King Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, was more like his mother-in-law, Jezebel, than his father. After Jehoshaphat's death, Jehoram killed his brothers and turned his kingdom toward the gods of the Amorites (i.e., Phoenicians) worshiped by Jezebel. As a result, Jezebel was afflicted with a terrible and horribly painful disease that killed him seven years later. Jehoram's son, Ahaziah, reigned only one year when he was killed by Jehu while visiting his uncle, Ahab's son Joram. Upon his death, Jehoram's wife, Ahab's daughter Athaliah seized the throne, killed the royal family of Judah—the House of David—and reigned as queen for seven years. She appears to have been cut from the same cloth as her mother, Jezebel.  But after seven years, the high priest Jehoiada, who'd been secretly raising Ahaziah's youngest son, Joash, declared the boy king, had Athaliah put to death, and tore down the temple of Baal in Jerusalem. At the end of the day, all of the political machinations involving the land of Israel down to the present day are reflections of the war in the unseen realm for control of God's mount of assembly—Zion. Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah.

MOVIE MIKE'S MOVIE PODCAST: Mike was recently inspired by the Paul Reubens’ documentary after learning about Pee Wee’s Big Adventure being such an important first film for Tim Burton. He shared what directors he believes made the biggest splashes with their debut studio films, why he thinks the Oscars are wrong about animation and what new directors are just heating up. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about The Phoenician Scheme from one of his favorite directors Wes Anderson. Benicio Del Toro plays a wealthy and maligned industrialist Zsa Zsa Korda , who, after surviving one too many assassination attempts by rivals, names his forgotten daughter as his sole heir-over his eight sons. Mike talks about if Wes Anderson is still cool, where it ranks among his most recent films and why Michael Cera was born for this role. In the Trailer Park, Mike and Kelsey talk about Wicked: For Good, going to see Wicked on Broadway this summer and how it lines up with The Wizard of Oz. New Episodes Every Monday!

Wes Anderson's new film The Phoenician Scheme is classic Wes Anderson, complete with a great cast delivering heightened dialogue and stylized cinematography. It stars Benicio del Toro as one of Europe's richest men, an amoral industrialist, who, along with his daughter (Mia Threapleton) and a tutor (Michael Cera), travels to convince his business partners to fund his latest venture. But where does the film rank among Anderson's past movies?Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopculture Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
