Her book was an easy page turner... Get the popcorn out and enjoy the read!" - Victoria Burrows, 40+ years casting director: Lord of the Rings trilogy, Cast Away, Contact, The Polar Express, Walker Texas Ranger "Tina Cole's long awaited book is an engaging gem of heartfelt memoir.

Let's see how many of you remember this “ancient” movie reference to the potential perils of AI (Artificial Intelligence): “Open the pod-bay door, HAL” “Sorry, Dave, but I can't do that” Whether or not you got the reference, there's definitely a lot of buzz about AI. Is it a potential ally? Will it be society's downfall? This week, Mike will share his thoughts and insights on recent trends in AI, especially ChatGPT. He'll discuss:  What ChatGPT can do pretty darn well, and what it can't do so well. How we often perceive (and misperceive) technological advances. Five ways we can make AI and other technological advances work for us, rather than against us. Why we must be our own best catalyst. Why it's becoming vital that we share our values.  Whatever your present feelings about AI, you'll find comfort and strength in Mike's wisdom. Like the Polar Express train conductor so famously said: “The most important thing about trains is deciding to get on” Resources: Brand You Funnels Info Session: I created an all-in-one online marketing and customer management platform for people who are ready to get real business systems in place.

The Polar Express is a touching story of believing and the magic of Christmas. A little boy contemplates if Santa exists and all it takes is a ride on the Polar Express to find the truth. But the truth is hidden for only those that believe and there is a special gift for them.The Polar Express by Chris Van AllsburgDid you know ToTalk Armenian offers Eastern and Western Armenian classes for children and adults?Click on the link below www.totalkarmenian.comDid you know you could get the accompanying literary labels from our online store?Literary labels are already translated & transliterated into Armenian.

Today, we are doing something a little different on Uncorking a Story. It's a new year and, for our first episode, there is no guest. I'm using this first episode to thank all of the wonderful publicists I've worked with and authors I've interviewed over the course of 2022, which was the best year ever for Uncorking a Story. In addition, I also share an open letter to my children, inspired by our annual watching of The Polar Express, which includes 7 pieces of wisdom that I want them to know. Of course, the show would mean nothing without our loyal listeners so, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for tuning in each week to hear me uncork some stories. All the best to you and yours in the new year.

From the beginning of time Santa's task has been to create the spirit of giving and spread it around the globe. Is it possible, however, to build the spirit of St. Nicholas so the energy powers Santa's Village and Santa's Village helps it grow?  In today's episode Elf, Arthur Christmas, Fred Claus, Get Santa, Spirited, Polar Express, Tim Allen, Papa Elf, Bumble and NORAD collide. Welcome to the conclusion of The Canon of Santa Claus. 

All aboard! We can't let the holidays go just yet so we're taking a ride on The Polar Express (2004). Based on the children's book of the same name, this story follows Hero Boy in his quest to determine whether he believes in Santa Claus and the Christmas spirit. Approached by a mysterious train in the middle of the night, our unnamed protagonist climbs aboard and is met with several zany characters (most of whom are voiced by Tom Hanks), each working to help him along during his harrowing journey. Of course we have to ask: does the classic Polar Express plot line still warm our hearts after all this time? Or are we completely traumatized by the "realistic" animation in this adaptation? Let's find out together!

2017's Anna and the Apocalypse  A zombie apocalypse threatens the sleepy town of Little Haven - at Christmas - forcing Anna and her friends to fight, slash and sing their way to survival, facing the undead in a desperate race to reach their loved ones. But they soon discover that no one is safe in this new world, and with civilization falling apart around them, the only people they can truly rely on are each other. Jim from Film Rage joins us to talk about his favorite Christmas Movie.  This musical zombie movie is unique in it's story telling and also very familiar with the zombie tropes.   Cheapseat Reviews the podcast that explores the Hollywood film industry for the greater good. 

“Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see.” I'll credit Tom Hanks and The Polar Express with this quote.  And although it's a children's Christmas movie, it couldn't hold more true in the real world today. In today's episode, Dr. John Kiely explains how our beliefs impact our physical, mental, and emotional well-being, and gives us several tactical takeaways for success in any realm. Well known for his role as a performance coach, Dr. Kiely has worked with athletes of all ages, in a variety of settings, including the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the 2015 Rugby World Cup, the 2008 Olympics, and the 2004 Paralympics, as well as both junior and senior IAAF World Athletics Championships. He's a prolific writer, speaker, and presenter with more than 60 articles to his name and currently supervises professional doctorate candidates pursuing practice-based doctoral-level qualifications while working in professional multi-disciplinary performance environments. To help us understand the complexity of the placebo effect and managing people, Dr. Kiely details: The different methods that can be used to manage high-pressure situations (17:20) The “secret” behind how the placebo effect works (42:25) How to leverage the relationship between pain and placebo (52:20) The danger of placebo's evil twin and what thought processes to avoid (1:08:45) Referenced Materials: The Placebo Prescription A fascinating landmark study of placebo surgery for knee osteoarthritis A controlled trial of arthroscopic surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee Attribution and Person Perception Connect with Dr. Kiely: Twitter: @simplysportssci Instagram: @simplysportssci Research Gate: John Kiely If you liked this episode, we would truly appreciate it if you would leave a review.

Book Vs. Movie (2019 Replay) The Polar ExpressThe Margos take a wild ride into the classic 1985 children's book and compare it to the 2004 Robert Zemeckis Film. It's our last new episode of the year, and we had to celebrate with one of our most requested titles ever--The Polar Express from author/illustrator Chris Van Allsburg. The book has sold millions of copies since its 1985 release (one million by 1989 alone!), and it's only 32 pages, so we only have a few beautiful things to say about it. But what about the 2004 film starring Mr. Tom Hanks? We have feelings about this movie, kids--and we want to know what YOU think in the comments below. So between the book & movie--which did we like better? Have a listen to find out! In this ep the Margos discuss:Chris Van Allsburg's amazing careerThe basic differences between the book & movieThe cast of the movie Tom Hanks ( Hero Boy, Father, Santa Claus, Conductor, and Hobo,) Leslie Zemeckis (Mother, Sister Sarah,) Eddie Deezan (Know-It-All,) Nona Gaye (Hero Girl,) Peter Scolari (Billy-Lonely Boy,) and Micheal Jeter (Smokey.)Clips Featured:The Polar Express trailer“When Christmas Comes to Town” (Glen Ballard & Alan Silvestri)“Rocking on Top of the World” by Steven TylerOutro music “Believe” by Josh GrobanJoin our Patreon page to help support the show! https://www.patreon.com/bookversusmovie Book Vs.

Happy Rotten-days from your Reel Jolly podcast! To celebrate we hit our sweet spot of holiday sequels and dive deep into the holiday "classic" The Santa Clause 3: the Escape Clause. You may remember this movie, or you may have a life, but all you need to know is that there are elves playing Canadians and Mrs. Claus's mother wants to do it with the Easter Bunny. Thats just the tip of the iceberg of this movie that also stars Martin Short as theater kid Jack Frost and a back to the future part II style scene where you see Tim Allen when he was funny. The guys discuss everything from #justiceforbernard to the official rankings of the Santa Clause movies. They draft their top movie Santa Clauses and Nick yells Polar Express at least one time.

In todays Episode, I'm going to share a few thoughts about one of my favorite words that is emphasized in the movie The Polar Express and the word is “BELIEVE.” One of the greatest attributes we can develop and one of the greatest hearts we can have. A believing heart is what children have…and if you want to learn about what it means to believe…just watch children during the Christmas season.

Who could possibly have beef with Bunker? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:00 Do you want to start off by talking about what happens when you break the laws of reality? Because that's what's happening here! We attempt to make up some Bunker enemies! And we succeed in doing so, but only partly? More success than not, but certainly with some things that don't go the way we expected. Which is fairly normal for us, I suppose.  We also read and respond to your letters! Again, normal for us, but still notable! It's where the name of the show comes from, after all! Next week's show is a Writers' Room for a story called "Polar Express"... wait, that can't be right, can it? Seems... off. Or like we're covering ground already done by someone else. Well, regardless, we've already recorded that episode, so I hope it pans out. If you are on the Letters Page Patreon, please join us for a very special end of the year live Editor's Note on Thursday, December 22nd, at 11 AM, Central time! How special? We did say "very", but that's not particularly clear. Just know that it's at the very least special because it's the last episode of 2022, which has to be worth something, right? Anyway, we look forward to talking to you all then!
