This week, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of Sunset Boulevard (1950), the classic film noir that showcased the darker side of the Hollywood lifestyle. The film has inspired many movies that have followed and probably would have been made as a horror film today. Let us know what your thoughts about the film are in the comments.Also Play:Cinema Chain Game--------------------------------------------Subscribe, rate, and review:Apple Podcasts: Our Film FathersSpotify: Our Film FathersYouTube: Our Film Fathers---------------------------------------------Follow Us:Instagram: @ourfilmfathersTwitter / X: @ourfilmfathersEmail: ourfilmfathers@gmail.com

Although they cater to different senses, photography and music share much in common. In both these arts, timing, rhythm, and mood are key. It's been a while since we've mixed photography and music on the show, so we're particularly excited about today's chat with two photographers who share a passion for documenting musicians and their fans—in particular, devotes of punk and indie rock. From early memories of being truly moved by music to practical tips about photo access, image rights and restrictions, plus the complexities of organizing your work for a book, the conversation doesn't miss a beat. So, turn up the volume as Bootsy Holler reminisces about dropping into the Seattle music scene in the early 1990's to capture the raw energy of her favorite bands, now compiled in the book Making It: An Intimate Documentary about the Seattle Indie, Rock and Punk Scene. And Chris Ortiz describes how the house parties he captured at a punk commune in Kansas served as the foundation for his skills as a music photographer with a keen eye for differentiating himself in the photo pit. As Chris points out when it comes to preparing for a show. "It goes back to knowing that music and knowing the band, and being able to sit back and say, Yes, I am a fan of the band, but I also am professional, so this is what I'm going to look for when the band comes out." Guests: Bootsy Holler & Chris Ortiz Episode Timeline: 3:20: Bootsy Holler recalls her early days dropping into the Seattle music scene, photographing garage bands and dive bars. 9:41: Chris Ortiz talks about his start in photography, and his time photographing house parties at a punk rock commune in Lawrence, Kansas. 12:01: The difference between documenting live music and making portraits of musicians, where you need to develop a rapport with your subjects.  17:32: A tip of the hat to Chris as a longtime podcast superfan, plus what he's learned from listening to our 10-year archive of shows.   20:20: Bootsy's early stylistic influences and its effect on her art and music photography. 25:54: The earliest memory of being truly moved by music and the songs Bootsy and Chris were listening to when they truly got it. 31:56: Applying the inner feels of music to photographing a concert and connecting with the rhythm to grab key moments. 39:00: Negotiating access, shooting from the photo pit vs the side of the stage, plus differentiating your pictures from other photographers' work. 48:00: Episode Break 48:56: Chris talks more about current dynamics for gaining access when shooting music and concerts.  53:44: Current limits on concert photo usage and restrictions on contracts offered by some artists and entertainment companies. 58:28: Legal parameters related to pictures in Bootsy's book, plus the difference between concert pictures and portrait situations. 1:02:26: Bootsy's nine-year process of assembling a book, working with a designer for big picture decisions, plus leaving room to break the rules. 1:08:09: Finding publishers, choosing between options, plus the importance of owning the rights to your images. 1:10:20: Bootsy and Chris name the band at the top of their bucket lists to photograph.   Guest Bios: Bootsy Holler has spent 30 years capturing the essential personality and emotions of her subjects. Best known for her work as a portraitist, Bootsy's journey began with intimate depictions of herself and friends at the center of Seattle's pivotal music scene during the early 1990s. These formative years at both ends of the lens cemented her style as well as the methodology behind her empathic and journalistic approach. Bootsy's work has been recognized by the Society of Photographic Journalism and twice selected for the Critical Mass Top 50. Her photos have been exhibited and published internationally and are included in the permanent collection of the Grammy Museum. In 2019 she published the monograph, TREASURES: objects I've known all my life. Most recently, her book Making It: An Intimate Documentary about the Seattle Indie, Rock and Punk Scene, was released by Damiani books.

He's specialized in music and documentary subjects since 1998, shooting with both digital and medium format black and white film. After earning a bachelor's degree in art history, Chris obtained an MFA in photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Select documentary projects include Portraits of Latinx Identity, and We Are All We Have Tonight, featuring portraits and personal narratives from punk rock enthusiasts, describing each subject's connection to the scene. Additionally, Chris works as news editor for the Prescott Daily Courier, covering area news and events.  Stay Connected: Website: https://www.chris-ortiz.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fastboyent/   Credits: Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! It was supposed to be a normal day in the late '70s — bad perms, disco on the radio, and teenage daydreams. But for Ellen MacNeil, that day would change her life forever. It began with a feeling — a heaviness she couldn't shake, a shadow that lingered behind every laugh in the high school hallway. Then came the signs. The photo of her brother falling from the wall. Her watch freezing in time. A strange chill that seemed to move with her through the house. And the phone call — the one that confirmed what her soul already knew. Her brother had been killed in Vietnam. But death didn't stop him from coming home. In the days that followed, Ellen's world turned surreal. The lights flickered. Pictures shifted. Objects moved on their own. It was as if her brother's spirit refused to let her grieve alone — determined to show her he was still there, protecting her, guiding her, and refusing to fade away. Decades later, Ellen still remembers that strange and beautiful haunting — proof that sometimes love doesn't end when the heartbeat does. Because family ties don't just survive death… they haunt it. #RealGhostStories #VietnamGhostStory #ParanormalEncounters #TrueGhostStory #FamilyHaunting #AfterlifeConnection #GhostlyPresence #SpiritOfAWarHero #HauntedByLove #ParanormalPodcast Love real ghost stories?

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with repeat guest Nic Schaalma. We discuss: Nick emphasizes the importance of balancing investments, including land and retirement accounts. Land can be a valuable investment, but it shouldn't be the only focus for average earners. A 401k match is considered "free money" and should be prioritized before investing in land. Saving for a down payment is crucial; having a safety net is essential before buying land. Buying land below market value can lead to significant long-term gains and wealth building. Diversification in investments is key; don't put all your money in one asset class. The current market shows potential for finding deals as interest rates rise and demand shifts. Building relationships with landowners can lead to off-market opportunities and better deals. Land contracts can be beneficial for both buyers and sellers, especially for tax reasons. The conversation highlights the importance of strategic planning and smart financial decisions.

In this heartwarming and insightful episode of For All the Marblisms, Bart welcomes Chicago-based photographer and creative professional Will Byington. Together, they explore the intersection of creativity, resilience, entrepreneurship, and authenticity, highlighting the struggles and successes that shape a meaningful career.Will's story is not just about capturing photos—it's about capturing life, emotion, and connection while navigating the evolving demands of being a creative entrepreneur in a digital age. Will's Journey: From Film Cameras to Rock CruisesEarly spark: Will grew up with disposable cameras and one-hour photo labs, enchanted by the magic of capturing candid moments.Education & pivot: A single darkroom photography class at the University of Alabama deepened his love for the craft.Unexpected detour: He pursued marketing in Los Angeles, working briefly in film promotion—but after a disheartening year, he returned home, feeling defeated.The turning point: A chance meeting with the New Orleans band Cowboy Mouth led to a touring role managing merchandise and photographing the band—his entry into professional photography.Today: Over 21 years later, Will has photographed 172 entertainment cruises for major artists like Bon Jovi, Kesha, and Pitbull, and works with brands like Sixthman and ALG Vacations.Entrepreneurial Lessons & Insights Success Requires Failing Forward“You're not an entrepreneur if you don't fail. You have to throw things atthe wall and learn.”It's Not About the Photos—It's About the FocusWill credits his success to being part of the experience, not just documenting it. His empathy, professionalism, and genuine care make him unforgettable.“I'm not there to be paparazzi. I'm there to capture the experience without blocking someone else's joy.”The Power of Showing UpWhether introducing himself to fans before a cruise or helping someone improve their phone photos, Will emphasizes presence, humility, and joy.“Life is 80% showing up. And when you do, bring energy and curiosity.”Imposter Syndrome Is UniversalWill admits that self-doubt once kept him from teaching photography, fearinghe'd train away his own clients. He now sees teaching as empowering:“Rising tides lift all boats. Helping others doesn't take from you—it expands you.”Creativity Requires Business BalanceWill shares that being a freelancer means juggling roles—creative, legal, financial, HR, and marketing—all at once.“Being a photographer is 90% business, 10% creativity. AI tools like Marblism help us flip that balance.” AI, Efficiency & CreativityBart introduces Marblism, an AI-powered productivity assistant for entrepreneurs. Will reacts with curiosity and cautious optimism, seeing potential to regain time for creativity.“If human interaction doesn't make it better, let AI do it.” — Bart“I'm on the AI train… maybe still in the caboose—but learning.” — Will Key Themes & TakeawaysResilience: Moving from failure to reinvention.Curiosity over fear: Asking questions to connect and learn.Joy & authenticity: Leading with positivity in every environment.Focus: Erase “you” to make the experience about others.Gratitude & presence: Print your photos, share them, and celebrate moments.Closing Reflections Will and Bart reflect on how creativity and kindness intersect:“It's not about the coffee—it's about the people.”“It's not about the photos—it's about the focus.”Will reminds listeners to capture and print their memories, because physical photos hold emotional power.“Print your pictures. Hold them. Share them. You never know how much they'll mean someday.” Connect with WillWebsite: willbyington.comInstagram: @willbyingtonLinkedIn: Will ByingtonClasses: shotclubphotoclass.com Final Quote “We're never finished. We're evolving, learning, and sharing.We are living our dream while chasing our dream.” — Will Byington

A 911 call from Merritt Island, Florida, revealed every parent's nightmare — a two-month-old baby, cold and unresponsive in his bassinet. But what started as a mysterious infant death soon pointed to something far darker. As investigators pieced together text messages between the parents, Belle and Donovan Winter, medical reports, and interviews, the story that emerged would expose exhaustion, anger, and fatal neglect behind closed doors.Pictures available in the PatreonIf you suspect child abuse, call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-Child or 1-800-422-4453, or go to www.childhelp.org.

(but thanks for that quote anyway). Hosted by Klein, Ally, and a cast of weirdos (both on the team and from their audience), the show is known for its raw, offbeat style, offering a mix of sarcastic banter, candid interviews, and an unfiltered take on everything from culture to the chaos of everyday life. With a loyal, engaged fanbase and an addiction for pushing boundaries, the show delivers the perfect blend of humor and insight, all while keeping things fun, fresh, and sometimes a little bit illegal. 2024 © 2021 Audacy, Inc.

Long before Judd Apatow was directing box office hits or launching the careers of comedy superstars, he was a fan. As a kid he wrote letters to his heroes, collected autographs, and obsessively documented everything. He's now opened up his personal archive: decades of photographs, letters, scripts, and journals for a new book that reveals how his childhood inspirations led to the creation of works like '40-Year-Old Virgin,' 'Knocked Up,' and 'Trainwreck.' It's called 'Comedy Nerd: A Lifelong Obsession in Stories and Pictures.'Also, John Powers reviews the new museum heist film 'The Mastermind,' starring Josh O'Connor. Follow Fresh Air on instagram @nprfreshair, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for gems from the Fresh Air archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Is Daulton Wilson going to Wells Motorsports for 2026? I have no idea, but we'll connect a lot of internet dots today and let you decide. Plus Spire Motorsports is venturing in dirt racing in a big way, and we'll show you how Gio Scelzi is suddenly connected to the Lakers, the Dodgers, and the Cadillac Formula 1 team.

Take a walk through Judd Apatow’s office, like I did, and you’ll be reminded of all the successful projects he’s helped create over the years: Anchorman, Bridesmaids, Superbad, The 40-Year-Old Virgin. I joined him there to discuss his new visual memoir, Comedy Nerd: A Lifelong Obsession in Stories and Pictures. As I learn throughout our conversation, Judd’s propulsion to create isn’t to prove that he’s one of the funniest guys in the biz; it’s to figure out if he has anything to say in the first place, to work out what’s in his head. It’s something I relate to as a writer, and it’s a big part of the new book, as he documents everything he’s collected and concocted over the years and tries to make sense of this life that he’s made. As we reflect, we also talk about our most scathing reviews, why we can’t Google ourselves, and how Judd’s documentary on our mutual friend, Garry Shandling, helped cement his subject’s legacy.

Scott Hopkins hails from Hyrum Gerogia his 1956 oval window is quite unique. What happens when you build a Volkswagen that doesn't follow the norms of your typical fue wheels and original paint colors and no customization. Well, in this case it will get you noticed at the triple Crown of hot rodding car show. And receiving a top 30 award that's example of modern Volkswagen builds that blend some hot rod flavor with traditional Volkswagen enthusiast styling. Over the past few years, we've seen influx of Volkswagens starting to show up at some of the hot rod shows and picking off some of the top awards. It's a trend. I enjoy seeing because it continues to push the hobby further into a new crowd that can expand their ideas into other car builds not just hot rods. this is a unique build that has a really good balance of hot rod and Vw creativity. One of the great things is that other than Paint Scott has done a lot of this work himself out of his garage over the past few years. A true labor of love while trying to be different and unique. Keeping true to his roots and dipping over to the Mini Truck side, this split window/oval window is bagged to where it will lay the pan on the ground 17 inch Budnick wheels stuffed into some mini tubs and hot rod inspired leather interior. Check out the pictures below and enjoy.    Click here for Pictures of the build !!!!!! www.letstalkdubs.com www.rosswulf.com www.vwtrendsmagazine.com buy ICON Pistons

Mia Goth is the latest actor shedding a bit of light on the long-shelved Blade movie from Marvel Studios. In an interview with Elle, promoting her upcoming appearance in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Goth shared only that she is still attached to the film and commented that “It's for the best that it's taken the time it has. They want to do it right.” This is in line with Kevin Feige's comments this summer that the film is still moving forward.In an interview with the AP this week, Adam Driver dropped some major information about the Ben Solo movie in Star Wars that never was. Driver explained that Lucasfilm was interested in continuing his character's story in a film that had a script written by Steven Soderbergh.

The film, called Painter, has a major executive producer credit - with Avatar and Titanic director James Cameron serving in that role. Stunt coordinator Garrett Warren, who worked with Cameron on the last two Avatars as well as Logan and the Road House reboot, is directing the movie; a debut effort.

This week's bonus episode is an interview with Jeremy Walker, a pastor at Maidenbower Baptist Church in Crawley, West Sussex, just south of London. Jeremy has long been a friend of the Banner and serves as book reviews editor for the magazine.  We sat down with Jeremy to talk about his Christian pilgrimage, call to ministry, some favourite books and, well, where he stands on the pronunciation of John Flavel's name.    Note: Jeremy mentioned a book chapter that had helped him towards greater assurance and he identified that as a chapter on the fruits of the Spirit in B. B. Warfield's The Saviour of the World. In retrospect, we think that the chapter in question is actually that on 'The Spirit's Testimony to Our Sonship, Romans 8:16' in Warfield's Faith and Life.    Resources Mentioned or Relevant From the Heart of Spurgeon Podcast If you enjoy the Banner Magazine podcast, you are likely to find From the Heart of Spurgeon most valuable.

Author and PR/crisis-communications consultant John P. David joins Healthy Mind, Healthy Life to unpack the real-world spark behind his debut mystery novel, The Bystander—a story launched by a viral video of an active-shooter incident and the cascade of fame, perception, and responsibility that follows. We dig into how media lenses shape “truth,” what virality does to decision-making, and why fiction can help us metabolize hard topics like PTSD, manipulation, and public scrutiny. John also shares a direct, workable path for first-time authors—from tightening the craft to assembling the right editorial help—so you can actually finish and publish your book. If you care about storytelling, reputation, and mental health in an always-on media world, this conversation is for you.   About the Guest  : John P. David is a seasoned public relations and crisis-communications consultant, author of the business book How to Protect (or Destroy) Your Reputation Online, and now a debut mystery novelist. His first novel, The Bystander (Duel Publishing), has been long-listed and recognized by multiple awards and noted for its timely, thought-provoking plot.   Key Takeaways: Viral footage doesn't equal universal “truth.” The same clip can drive polar opposite conclusions depending on viewers' priors and context. Speed changes judgment. Always-on sharing compresses reflection time and can push institutions and individuals toward snap decisions. Story over stance. The Bystander is entertainment first, yet it threads real issues—gun culture debates, PTSD, and media manipulation—so the world feels authentic. Fame has a shadow. Sudden visibility from viral moments can invite exploitation and distort a person's self-narrative. Fiction as processing. Novels create safe distance to explore contentious topics and emotional fallout without writing a “position paper.” Writing tip #1: Start anyway. You learn the game by playing—draft, revise, and keep momentum. Writing tip #2: Don't go solo. Hire editors to pressure-test structure, pacing, and clarity; polished mechanics (grammar, proofing) are non-negotiable. Writing tip #3: Map your path. There are multiple viable routes to readers; choose one and execute consistently. Communications lesson: Pictures may be “worth a thousand words,” but video can be “worth ten thousand”—and require even more ethical care. Mental-health lens: Public crises impact people privately; recognize trauma responses and build supports accordingly.   How to Connect with the Guest   Website: https://byjohndavid.substack.com/Book: The Bystander — available via major online retailers (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.).Events, reviews, and updates are listed on his website.     Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
