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.

Low motivation, if you don't like it fix it. Is there a fall hair color? The power of pictures, holding on to memories, truth always wins. Smile at doubt.   Liam Nelson does it again, the Phoenician scheme, love island beyond the villa, summer slam, twisted metal, do we need the hallmark app?   Sumatra chicken burritos, one pan taco zuchini, not pasta salad, homemade kfc bowl, chili queso pasta, what's new at Applebees, sub in tub.   Happy Monday stars

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.

“Normal people want the basic human rights that accompany citizenship in any sovereign nation. I don't… I don't live anywhere; I'm not a citizen at all. I don't need my human rights.” The Cold War Cinema team is back with special guest Matthew Ellis, a researcher, artist, and cohost of the Pacific Northwest Insurance Corporation Movie Film Podcast, for a special bonus episode covering Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme. 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.

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

Love comes in many forms, a fact that's especially true when it plays out in the movies. On this week's show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two films that embody the emotion we know as love in entirely different ways. First up is Wes Anderson's latest, titled “The Phoenician Scheme.” Following that is Celine Song's second feature film, titled simply “Materialists.”

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.

This week Bob and Matt dissect three very different cinematic releases: Wes Anderson's pastel chaos, a deep-sea implosion doc, and a tech bro fever dream masquerading as a movie. ⏱️ Chapter Markers: 00:00 – 17:45 | The Phoenician Scheme Wes is back with a hand grenade. Bob breaks down the “Wes Venn Diagram,” Matt praises the comedic rhythm, and Michael Cera steals the show. Bonus: eyebrow analysis and a Benedict Cumberbatch wig appreciation moment. 17:46 – 32:20 | Titan Sub Disaster (Netflix) Implosions, PlayStation controllers, and corporate delusion. Bob relives learning about the story in an escape room, and Matt explores the horrifying audio build-up to tragedy. An unexpectedly gripping doc with more tension than most action films. 32:21 – 41:44 | Mountainhead (Max) Billionaires with soup spoons, gobbledygook dialogue, and a plot so muddled even subtitles tap out. Bob is out, Matt is… somewhat amused. The guys debate whether it's satire, nonsense, or both—and if Steve Carell can save it. (Spoiler: maybe not.)

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!

This week, Donovan begins the non-spoiler section with a brief review of 'The Phoenician Scheme,' Wes Anderson's latest (1:11). Then Blaine and Donovan discuss some non-spoiler thoughts on 'Stick' and where it is on Apple TV+ (6:14). Donovan gives his overview of 'Andor,' the Star Wars spinoff, now that it is complete (8:14). Finally to end the non-spoiler segment, Blaine and Donovan discuss the dark world of 'Dept. Q' (12:25). After the break, it's only 'Dept. Q' on Netflix and the focus is where it lands as far as crime thrillers go: does it go beyond the genre (19:28)?For The Alabama Take on YouTube, visit this link.

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

Willie sits down with Academy Award winner, Benicio Del Toro, to talk about his leading role in the latest Wes Anderson movie, "The Phoenician Scheme". He also reflects on his path from a childhood growing up in Puerto Rico to the heights of Hollywood.

Sean and Amanda take a deep dive into one of their favorite directors' newest films: Wes Anderson's ‘The Phoenician Scheme.' They discuss the new themes Anderson tackles that he typically avoids, celebrate the phenomenal performances from Michael Cera and Mia Threapleton, and discuss how a second viewing can unlock a better understanding of the movie's ideas (1:36). Then, for the first time in Big Picture history, Wes Anderson joins the show to discuss the movie, the connective tissue across his filmography, and how he experiments in new projects (50:37).

Wes Anderson's latest film has no shortage of charts and plans. Our guest, Matt Zoller Seitz, helps guide us through THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME, and warns us about emotional land mines (which, in fact, we might actually want to step on? It'll make sense in context.)
