The other side of Christmas.  Reality hits doesn't it?  The brokenness of the world that has been cursed because of sin hits doesn't it?   The other side of Christmas for Joseph, Mary and toddler Jesus hit too didn't it?  Enraged King Herod desires only one thing.  Death to the new born king.  Instead of tidings of joy on Christmas crying and wailing from the mothers whose baby boys were murdered by Herod's henchmen.   What about us?  The other side of Christmas is far from perfect is it?  You see, God's creation is still groaning, groaning for perfection once again.  No disease, no sin, no sorrow, just peace, love and joy.   It's what God promises to bring once again.  Jesus WILL return as advertised, as promised to make things new again.  This time forever and ever.  This is where we place our Hope.  True Hope.   Isaiah 63:7-14 Galatians 4:4-7 Matthew 2:13-23

They briefly talked about challenges in finding certain comic books, including a hardcover edition, and Ryan mentioned receiving negative feedback on Reddit for posting about comics. The conversation ended with José searching for the PDF and Ryan preparing to start recordings. RAWHEAD REX DISCUSSION AND THEMES The Book Club of Blood returned with episode 519, where Ryan shared his experience reading Snow by Ronald Malfe at a Dark Fairbanks Book Club meeting, which had only 4 attendees out of 18 who registered. The main discussion focused on Clive Barker's Rawhead Rex, a feral folk horror novella about an ancient forest entity in England, with Ryan, José, and wnbla discussing the story's themes of modernization vs. tradition in the English countryside. They explored how the protagonist Ron Milton's attempts to modernize the village of Zeal conflict with local legends and traditions, particularly regarding an ancient warning rock that has become forgotten over time. RAWHEAD REX ADAPTATION COMPARISONS The group discussed the differences between the book and movie adaptations of Rawhead Rex, focusing on the character development and visual representation of Rawhead. They noted that the movie lacked the original script's detailed opening sequence and internal dialogue from Rawhead's perspective, which would have provided a more nuanced portrayal of the monster. The conversation also touched on the creature design in the film, comparing it to the book's description and highlighting the movie's limitations in terms of budget and special effects. The discussion concluded with a brief overview of the main characters in the story and their roles in the narrative. RAWHEAD CHARACTER ANALYSIS DISCUSSION The group discussed the character Rawhead, exploring his fears of femininity and his destructive nature. They compared the movie adaptation to the original story, noting differences in character interactions and plot details. José shared information about a failed comic adaptation and the rarity of the published version. The conversation also touched on the artistic contributions of various creators involved in the comic and movie adaptations. SUPERNATURAL ALTAR FILM ADAPTATION The group discussed the film adaptation of the story about a mysterious altar and its connection to supernatural events. They explored how the film depicted the characters' experiences with the altar's power, including Koot's painful erection and Declan's distorted vision. The story delves into the history of the settlement, with Declan sharing his knowledge of ancient tales about a creature called Rawhead. They also discussed the film's portrayal of the investigation into the murders, including the detective's initial underestimation of the killer's cunning. RAWHEAD REX: REMAKE POTENTIAL The group discussed Clive Barker's novel "Rawhead Rex," focusing on its adaptation into a film. They explored themes of monstrous beings and human desire for power, as well as the film's depiction of a priest being enthralled by the monster. The conversation touched on the film's visual elements and potential for a remake, with José noting that the scene of the priest urinating on a character named Vickers remained in the final cut despite Clive Barker's initial doubts. The group agreed that "Rawhead Rex" could be a good candidate for a remake, particularly with modern visual effects technology. RAWHEAD CHURCH ATTACK SCENE The group discussed the plot of a horror movie involving a monster named Rawhead, focusing on a scene where the monster attacks a priest and a young boy in a church. They described how the monster overpowers the priest, causing him to have visions and leading to a confrontation with police. The discussion also covered the monster's ability to regenerate and the aftermath of the attack, including the priest's injuries and the character's hospitalization. RAWHEAD REX: BOOK VS. MOVIE The group discussed the differences between the book and movie adaptations of "Rawhead Rex," focusing on character development, plot details, and the horror elements. José and Ryan highlighted the book's more complex and disturbing narrative, including the graphic depiction of the monster's attack and the visceral details of the child's death. They compared the movie's portrayal, noting its limitations in capturing the book's intensity and the substitution of a human slave for the monster's destructive actions. José and Ryan also discussed the significance of the religious relic in the book, emphasizing its symbolic representation of feminine power and its role in defeating the monster. The conversation concluded with reflections on the movie's simplification of the story and the potential for a more faithful adaptation in the future. RAWHEAD REX ADAPTATION DISCUSSION The group discussed the movie adaptation of Clive Barker's Rawhead Rex, noting its limitations compared to the original story. They explored the potential for a better rendition of the story in the future. José and Ryan worked on formatting and publishing details for the second printing of their book, including creating separate versions for Kindle and Apple Books. They planned to complete these tasks and order proofs the next day, with the goal of announcing the availability of the updated book soon after.

In this honest conversation, they share what it looked like to run their businesses through shifting economic conditions, client and consultant dynamics, and increasing responsibilities—while staying grounded in purpose and discipline.

Along the way, they make space for gratitude, acknowledging the simple joys that helped anchor them through it all. This episode is a thoughtful close to the year—rooted in reflection, resilience, and the lessons learned from uncertainty. It honors the progress made, the challenges faced head-on, and the steady commitment required to keep moving forward.

Today on the show, I share my review of the brand new Angel Studios production, *Truth & Treason*, starring Ewan Horrocks, Rupert Evans, Ferdinand McKay, and Daf Thomas! This moving film tells the story of the youngest person to face the guillotine as a member of the German resistance during World War II, along with two of his friends. Listen as I unpack this tale of intrigue, courage, and sacrifice. I encourage you to see this powerful film with your family and friends, or enjoy it on streaming! My prayer is that this impactful story will awaken within you a spirit of thankfulness for all that God has given you, as we approach the holidays, and inspire a renewed desire to stand for truth, no matter the cost.

In the last guest episode of the year, Katerina sits down with landscape architect and founder of Milliman Design Studio, Emily Milliman, for an inspiring conversation about creativity, entrepreneurship, and community. Emily shares how her journey into landscape architecture began with a deep love of art and design, and how she continues to weave those passions into her work today. Emily opens up about the importance of having a supportive community of solopreneurs and how networking through boards and local events has been key to building lasting client relationships. She discusses how balancing art and landscape architecture is an organic process and how the material she works with — nature itself — is living and ever-changing. The conversation also explores the realities of entrepreneurship: from diversifying income streams and maintaining transparency with clients to staying flexible and adaptable through change. Emily encourages aspiring designers to start building their personal brand early and to approach design with both short and long-term goals in mind. This episode is a thoughtful look at how creativity, connection, and adaptability shape not only our work but also the communities we grow within.   Mentioned: www.millimandesignstudio.com (landscape architecture site) www.emilymilliman.com (art site) Connect with Emily on Linkedin Follow Emily on Instagram @emilliman Follow Emily's landscape firm on Instagram @millimandesignstudio Follow Emily's artwork on Instagram @millimanprints   Grab your copy of The Mindful Blueprint for Launching Your Architecture Firm  Use code honeycomb20 for 20% off!

How does a three-person L&D team support 23,000 associates across seven states? In this episode, Chris Chappell, Director of Learning & Development at Weis Markets, shares how servant leadership, clear career paths, and just-in-time video microlearning are elevating the employee experience—and the customer experience—across retail, manufacturing, and logistics. Show Notes:Weis Market's Chris Chappell offers many key takeaways to empower team members to succeed. His top points include: Lead as a servant, not a boss. Chris Chappell centers L&D on servant leadership—meeting associates' needs, anchoring to mission, and role-modeling behaviors so people trust and follow. Career paths + strong leadership = retention. Provide clear growth paths and accountable leaders. Weis Markets' leadership development now spans five levels and correlates with higher engagement and reduced turnover that is 20–25 points lower than retail averages. Make learning “in the moment.” Snapshot video microlearning—accessed via QR codes embedded in SOPs—powers fast cross-training (e.g., moving a bakery associate to deli) and reduces friction during call-offs. Do fewer things, better. “Ruthless prioritization” keeps work aligned to mission, strategy, core operations, and compliance. The team consolidated ~1,798 courses to ~800 and is rebuilding high-value content for mobile delivery in Workday Learning. Build a distributed training network. Centralize standards and content, then empower expert trainers across departments to deliver. Add feedback loops with structured homework and report-outs so learners hold themselves accountable. Powered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

They examined various aspects of the story, including its cinematic references, character motivations, and the decline of traditional movie theaters, while sharing personal memories of past theater experiences. The discussion concluded with an exploration of the story's themes of illusions and reality, monster encounters, and the challenges of adapting Barker's work into different media formats.    They then began analyzing Clive Barker's "Son of Celluloid," discussing its narrative structure divided into three acts and its themes of ambition and cancer as metaphors. The story follows Barbario, a fugitive criminal who hides in an old movie theater and watches a Fellini film while bleeding to death, unaware that his cancer is the result of his dangerous lifestyle. The group noted that while the story contains dated references to Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne, it effectively captures the nostalgia of old movie theaters and the magic of cinema.     The group discussed Clive Barker's story about a theater that became haunted after changing from a place of worship to a cinema, with José explaining how the building accumulated decades of audience emotions and became a "cathedral of collective dreams." They explored the character development of Birdie, the ticket lady who is bored and self-conscious about her weight, and how her intelligence becomes her strength when facing the antagonist. The conversation also touched on the decline of cinema attendance and the specific details of the Tron Ares movie, including Bruce Boxleitner's decision not to reprise his role as Tron.   Memories of Classic Movie Theaters The group discussed their memories of old movie theaters, including the smell of cigarettes and popcorn, torn seats, and pre-movie slides advertising local businesses. They shared their first movie theater experiences, with Ryan remembering "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" and Blair recalling "Star Wars" at a drive-in. José shared his fond memories of watching "E.T." as a child and mentioned the original darker treatment for the film. The conversation then shifted to Ricky's investigation of Lindy Lee's boyfriend in the bathroom, where he unexpectedly finds himself in a Western-themed setting. Monster's Failed Illusion Tactics The group discussed the story's themes of illusions manifesting in reality, particularly focusing on a scene where a monster creates a John Wayne illusion to threaten characters. They analyzed how the monster's aggressive approach failed when Ricky punched the illusion, leading to its dissolution. The discussion highlighted Ricky's character contrast with Birdie's correct choices, and noted that the monster would likely try a different tactic after this failed attempt at intimidation. Horror at the Movie Theater The group discussed a horror story involving a movie theater, where Birdie discovers a bloody scene and an unconscious man, while Lindy Lee disappears after seeing a bunny. Birdie attempts to call for help but is thwarted by a mysterious voice that locks the doors, forcing her to retrieve keys from Ricky. Despite her initial fear, Birdie wisely decides to seek help rather than stay trapped, and she eventually finds the body of a victim whose eyes have been violently removed. Marilyn Monster Seduction Analysis The group discussed a scene from a graphic novel where a monster in the form of Marilyn Monroe seduces Ricky, leading to his death. They analyzed the visual and narrative elements, including the use of flickering lights to create the illusion and the monster's need for attention. The conversation touched on themes of immortality through pop culture icons and Ricky's foolish decision to engage with the monster despite the danger. They also briefly mentioned Birdie's attempt to defend herself with a crowbar. Psychic Monster Comic Adaptation The group discussed the comic adaptation of a story involving a monster that feeds on psychic energy from moviegoers. They analyzed key plot points, including Birdie's armed defense against attackers, her escape attempt through a theater fire exit, and her confrontation with the monster. José highlighted the monster's transformation and its connection to the character Barbario, while Ryan and Blair noted the story's exploration of themes like ambition, waste, and the impact of movies on people's lives. The discus Adapting 'Son of Celluloid The group discussed Clive Barker's "Son of Celluloid," focusing on its themes of body horror, celebrity worship, and the dangers of spectatorship. They explored the challenges of adapting the story into a film, particularly regarding the use of real celebrities' likenesses. José shared insights from Barker's early attempts to pitch the story to studios and the eventual difficulties in securing funding. The conversation also touched on the graphic novel adaptation by Steve Niles and Les Edwards, highlighting its painted artwork and the availability of original pages for sale. The group agreed to explore the story further in their next episode, which will focus on "Rawhead Rex."

In this final episode of the Women in Architecture series, Katerina sits down with architect and Mentor Dino founder, Katelyn Rossier, about her journey over the past two years—both as a new mother and as an entrepreneur reshaping how mentorship and education show up in the architecture profession.  Katelyn shares her experiences launching Mentor Dino Academy in 2023, her vision for bridging knowledge gaps in the industry, and how podcasting has allowed her to connect with others and share career stories. Their conversation touches on the challenges of balancing family and work, the shift toward work-life integration, and the evolving landscape of architecture and changing workplace dynamics. She also reflects on the importance of investing time and resources wisely, cultivating strong support systems, and recognizing that interpersonal skills are just as essential as technical knowledge. This episode highlights how mentorship, community, and intentional career choices can create a more sustainable future in architecture.   Mentioned: Listen to Katelyn's previous episode on FTH: episode 91  Follow mentorDINO on Instagram Connect with Katelyn on Linkedin Join the Academy!   Grab your copy of The Mindful Blueprint for Launching Your Architecture Firm  Use code honeycomb20 for 20% off!
