What's it like to get bit by a venomous snake? "It's like a bee sting times a thousand," Tim Friede says. Tim would know. Over the past few decades, he's let himself be bitten over 200 times by all kinds of venomous snakes — black mambas, taipans, cobras, kraits and more. With time, he's gradually built immunity to multiple types of venom. Could scientists help him share that immunity with others? Science reporter Ari Daniel joins Short Wave to explain how antivenom works, what scientists discovered and where the research may lead. Plus, what does Tim Friede have in common with Princess Bride?Want to hear about more medical discoveries?

In this heartwarming episode, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the timeless Jewish mitzvah of bikkur cholim—visiting the sick. Using the classic film The Princess Bride as a surprising entry point, Rabbi Feigelson reminds us that the story begins not with sword fights or giants, but with an act of love and compassion: a grandfather visiting his ill grandson. The latest episode in a 10-part series on Jewish ethics and mindfulness uses the teachings from Maimonides and Jewish tradition to explore how this sacred practice is both an act of kindness (gemilut hasadim) and a reflection of the mitzvah to love our neighbors as ourselves. Soulful Jewish Living: Mindful Practices for Every Day is a production of Unpacked, a division of OpenDor Media, and the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. This episode was sponsored by Jonathan and Kori Kalafer and the Somerset Patriots: The Bridgewater, NJ-based AA Affiliate of the New York Yankees.

Its finally here folks- the last regular episode of Media-eval! Join Sarah one last time as she tells us why Princess Bride manages to be one of the most accurate movies ever on the show as it goes out on a really happy note. One last thing from me as I just want to say that it has been a pleasure guesting and listening to this podcast over the last 7 years and a great joy to be able to call Sarah my friend.

"Inconceivable!"        "You keep using that word; I do not think it means what you think it means." In the classic movie, "The Princess Bride," the character Vizzini uses the word "inconceivable" multiple times. He says it when his plans go awry or something unexpected happens. He says it to express frustration or disbelief when things don't turn out the way he thinks they should. But as Inigo Montoya points out, Vizzini doesn't understand the meaning of the word; he uses it without fully grasping its implications.  This Sunday we're beginning a new series we've titled, "Don't Call Me a Christian - When the Label Doesn't Match the Life." If you asked 10 different people what it means to be a Christian, you'd likely get 10 different answers. In our world today, the word 'Christian' means different things to different people. And a lot of people use the word without fully understanding its meaning or grasping its implications for their lives. Join us as we take the next five weeks to unpack what the Bible has to say about what it truly means to be a Christian. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel. Or, better yet, come worship with us in person! Arrive early and enjoy coffee, cookies and conversation in the Lobby. We do know that 11 AM on Sunday doesn't work for everyone. If that's you, the service will be available on-demand, so you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule.

We've joked about "curses" before, but legitimately, this episode is cursed.Due to record way back in January, work schedules, illnesses, and internet issues prevented us getting back to it until late April....and even then the curse proved that it wasn't done with us yet. Eric's audio starts cutting out in parts in the 2nd part of the episode, the internet connection got so bad that we eliminated most talk about The Program (everyone but Eric hated it anyway) and we couldn't do ANY of Very Important Questions. At that point I was just ready to get anything we could out of this episode and move the fuck on.We're joined by Jake (& later David) from⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Real Piece Of Sitcom⁠⁠⁠⁠, the podcast going through every sitcom in thematic order, which you can hear each Thursday.

In Episode 407 of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive into a packed lineup of topics, mixing nerd culture, activism, and a little wrestling nostalgia!The episode kicks off with a lively new segment, Best Film/Worst Film, inspired by The John Campea Show. This week, Aubrey and Tim put three legendary directors under the microscope: Steven Spielberg, Rob Reiner, and Quentin Tarantino. They debate and discuss the highs and lows from each filmmaker's career, covering classics like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jurassic Park, This Is Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2, and more — as well as some controversial misfires like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Expect a spirited, insightful discussion full of hot takes and surprising opinions!Next, Professor Aubrey shares her experience participating in another Tesla Takedown protest. Dressed as a narwhal with a sign that boldly declared "Narwhals Against Nazis," she recounts the energy, creativity, and importance of standing up for what's right, blending humor with powerful activism.Tim the Nerd also has a lot to celebrate this week. He talks about his guest spot on The MCU's Bleeding Edge YouTube show, where he joined the crew to break down the 1985 action classic Commando starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Get Tim's behind-the-scenes take and hear why this cheesy, bullet-riddled movie still holds a special place in action movie history.Finally, Tim discusses the WWE's recent efforts to upload more classic content to their official YouTube channel. He reflects on how YouTube may actually be a better home for some older, niche content — compared to platforms like Peacock — and draws interesting parallels to how beloved shows like Jeopardy find new life through accessible streaming options.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Our name is Praising Kane (the world's greatest chronological Carol Kane podcast), you killed our fathers.. prepare to die! We're finally moving into some iconic films in Carol's oeuvre, and they don't get much bigger than the 1987 fantasy-comedy-romance THE PRINCESS BRIDE, adapted from the beloved William Goldman book of the same name. Everyone loves it.. but did WE? Listen and find out. But before that we have a chat about the very first episode of the short-lived 1986 sitcom ALL IS FORGIVEN, featuring Carol Kane in a supporting role as the head writer of a beleaguered soap opera produced by the inexperienced Paula Russell (played by Bess Armstrong). I'm laughing already! And you'll be laughing too once you start listening. The post Episode 271 – Praising Kane – The Princess Bride (1987) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

Eric's stomach might be in distress, but his imagination is firing on all cylinders. In this episode, he and Todd explore everything from obscure medication metaphors to deep-seated shark trauma—and somehow still have room for sock-based hacks and Princess Bride references.Pepto Infinity Stones: Eric wonders aloud—has anyone completed the full Pepto-Bismol symptom gauntlet? And if so, are they okay?Socks and Swagger: Why buy ankle socks when your kid's crew socks (with sharks on them) fit just fine? Bonus: taunting your 8-year-old about it.Funko Shark Attack: Todd nearly buys Eric a boat-eating shark figurine. He resists. Barely.Bruce Trauma: Eric is slowly, strategically desensitizing himself to Jaws, which still sparks actual anxiety. But hey, live-streamed exposure therapy might help.Pants Time & Podcast Lore: The episode closes with an impromptu glossary of TodCast phrases—from “pork chops” to “pants” to possible future Easter eggs.Bonus Insight: The shark in Finding Nemo is named Bruce as a nod to Jaws. You're welcome.If you like podcasts that blend anxiety, nostalgia, inside jokes, and gastrointestinal honesty—you've found your people.

Reupload of Discussion 17 - Originally posted August 26, 2024, in honor of the apparent death of 9-1-1's Captain Bobby Nash (KJ is subscribed to buried alive theory until the credits roll on the S8 finale)...............Have you ever invested significant emotions and time into a franchise only for a character who has spent all their screen time valiantly overcoming their demons to be struck down (maybe poetically, maybe just cruelly) in the final moments? Had all their character development undone for the sake of symmetry? (If you answer no, I've got bad news for you about some upcoming content on this podcast) Were you left emotionally bereft when a character was killed off instead of given the in-universe time and resources to manage their trauma? Well, you're not alone! KJ and Meredith are joined this week by Mary (Carrying Wayward) and JJ (@jjbwaywatch) to talk about some shows and movies that ended in the death of a major (and thoroughly traumatized) character, and discuss why this trope is so popular with writers but maybe less popular with the audience.Spoiler alert for the endings and/or major character deaths of the following pieces of media: Supernatural, Teen Wolf, Sons of Anarchy, Veronica Mars, Game of Thrones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, The Princess Bride, and Timeless.Episode recorded on August 27, 2023.Linktree including sign up sheet to be on the podcast and our Discord server: https://linktr.ee/SupernaturalOpinionsPodcastGuest social medias:Meredith (tiktok, instagram and Tumblr): shaedsofdeianeiraJJ (tiktok and twitter): jjbwaywatchMary: maryturner_ (twitter)Carrying Wayward: https://linktr.ee/CarryingWayward

This week we dive back into the 80's as we cover two cult classics that could not be more different, first we scale cliffs of insanity and battle rodents of unusual size with the Princess Bride, then we head to the sun drenched, vampire-infested streets of Santa Carla in the Lost Boys. Join us as we break down these two cult classics.

This week, we're talking about one of our favorite historical romances, Jeannie Lin's Butterfly Swords. This is one we've mentioned on previous episodes, and discussed at length during Jeannie's Trailblazer episode, as it is the first own voices Asian-set historical romance. Aside from setting the standard for adventure romance, it's also a near-perfect road trip romance with one of the hottest slow burns you'll ever read. We talk about all of it, including the absolutely devastating first kiss—one that should go down in romance history. TL;DR: We love this book hard.Thanks to Charlotte Howard, author of Secret Verses, and Mila Finelli, author of Mafia Mistress, for sponsoring the episode.

A new episode of Geek at Arms? Inconceivable!!! In this episode James begins Geek Out by describing just how much he and his wife have enjoyed playing Baldur's Gate 3, and how much his whole family has enjoyed the latest Star Wars series Skeleton Crew. Speaking of a galaxy far, far way, Mike tells us about jumping back into the GM chair for an upcoming Star Wars D6 campaign and gives his thoughts on Dungeon Crawler Carl.  Bryan wraps it up by telling us about his preparations for joining an rpg with the Los Angeles Dice & Developer Society, and he and James give their thoughts on the animated movie The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. Finally, the guys look at the third film of the Great Adaptations Film Club: one of their favorite movies of all time, The Princess Bride!

Hardware (1990), Death Machine (1994), and Event Horizon (1997) The 1990s are often thought of as a decade of dread for horror fans—not because of what was on the screen, but because nothing good supposedly came out of it. Or at least, that's the typical response. But as we continue down the path to Discover the Horror, we're starting to realize that what we remember about the past isn't always accurate—whether it's based on our own memories or what we were told. When you really dig into those ten years, there's actually a lot of great stuff that came out—even just here in the U.S. And when you look beyond to international horror, it gets even better. Browse through the list and you're bound to say, “Oh yeah, I forgot about that one.” In this episode, we decided to tackle that decade and picked three titles that, as it turns out, share some very similar themes. And we think all three are well worth watching. Films mentioned in this episode: Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), Batman Returns (1992), The Blair Witch Project (1999), The Boneyard (1991), Braindead (1992), Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Candyman (1992), Cronos (1992), Day of the Dead (1985), Death Machine (1994), Dellamorte Dellamore (1994), The Descent (2005), Dr. Giggles (1992), Dust Devil (1992), Event Horizon (1997), Evil Dead 2 (1987), The Exorcist (1973), Faces of Death (1978), Freeway (1996), Goodfellas (1990), Godzilla (1998), Gravity (2013), Halloween (1978), Halloween H20 (1998), Hardware (1990), Hellraiser (1987), Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992), High Tension (2003), I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), In the Mouth of Madness (1994), Judge Dredd (1995), Jurassic Park (1993), Lord of Illusion (1995), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994), Meet the Feebles (1989), Mimic (1997), Misery (1990), The Mummy (1999), Nightbreed (1990), Pulp Fiction (1994), The Princess Bride (1987), Reign of Fire (2002), The Resurrected (1991), Return of the Living Dead (1985), Return to Splatter Farm (2020), Ringu (1998), Scream (1996), Scream 2 (1997), The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Star Wars (1977), Thelma & Louise (1991), The Thing (1982), Valentine (2001), Warning Sign (1985), Willow (1988)

Parody and satire are a certain kind of humour. They're VERY easy to do because you just base them off real, already existing things, then you twist it a bit to add humour and make it ridiculous. But that's where it gets tricky! Satire is a parody of a real situation rather than fictional, it tends to have a harder edge. Where it usually goes wrong is that people mistake it for something straight, i.e. NOT satire, not comedy, not exaggeration or ridicule. The two main approaches to parody are a broad satire of a genre, like Princess Bride on fairytale fantasy, or a more targeted approach like Spaceballs which satirised Star Wars, and things in between like Airplane, which made fun of the film Zero Hour but also used it as a chance to parody the disaster movie genre and include a shotgun approach to pop-cultural jokes, making fun of everything happening in the 1970s. When I was growing up Mad Magazine movie parody comics were always a fave of mine, I'd prefer them to the actual movies they made fun off. The art was amazing with great caricatures and the humour was always very cheeky. Asterix was another comic series I enjoyed, which involved a lot of historical satirical humour. One big issue with that kind of targeted humour though is that it's often very dependent on its references for the jokes to fully work, so if you lack familiarity with them it won't bite as hard or sometimes not at all. The trick is to include enough of the context for context dependant jokes so that they can work regardless. If you do your job well enough people will not even remember the original and your satire or parody will completely stand on its own! In our Quackcast we even covered things that become self parodies like the Deadpool Marvel Movies, some of the Roger More James Bond films, the late horror franchise films like Nightmare on Elm street, Friday the 13th and so on. What are some of your fave parodies or satires? I think Princess Bride, the Life of Brian, Blazing Saddles, and Spaceballs are real standouts. But things like Lego Batman, Not Another Teen Movie, and even The Toxic Avenger have their own place. On that last one: Lloyd Kaufman is like a B-movie parody version of Mel Brooks, Mel does the A-list parodies and satires and Lloyd handles the crazier, gross and kinky low budget ones Mel wouldn't touch LOL! Of course Meet The Spartans is the best parody ever, so much better than The 300.

Sausage Dogs, Songwriting, and the Art of Staying RealHello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of MyMusic!As usual, I make an entrance with the grace of a rockstar—backing straight into my chair, sending everything flying. But fear not! Once the chaos settles, I'm joined by the effortlessly cool Ava Breeze, and we dive straight into the whirlwind that is her life.

So in the 17th Century, in Rome, Giulia Tofana led a group of women who made devotional oils, cosmetic liquids and of course, poison.  This poison was a famed untraceable and undetectable poison for it's time and it was dubbed Aqua Tofana.  4 doses they said, could put any man in his grave.  It was a way for women, who could not get a divorce to get out of some very bad situations and over 20 years, these women claimed to have killed over 600 men,  We discuss the poison, the time, the place and famous folks who felt they were victims of this strange brew.  We also talk bodily autonomy, the trend 'Make Aqua Tofana Great Again', Dandy's World, The Princess Bride, (Princess Buttercup has entered the chat), iocaine powder and just plain being decent to one another in this, wait, they REALLY did that episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

Research from Princeton University reveals that mandatory reading logs actually decrease children's interest in reading. While a quarter of Australian parents barely read to their kids at all, the solution isn't forcing children to track their reading time—it's making reading irresistible. This episode exposes why reading logs are counterproductive and reveals the three crucial keys to raising passionate readers. If you've ever battled with your child over filling in their reading log or worried about their reading habits, this episode offers game-changing strategies that actually work. Quote of the Episode: "Reading is the key skill to education. It's literally the gateway to all other skills. And if we can get this one thing right with our kids, they're going to make it all right in the world." Key Points: Research shows mandatory reading logs reduce children's motivation and interest in both recreational and academic reading. 25% of Australian parents read to their children once a week or less. There's up to a million-word annual gap between children from book-rich and book-poor homes. 56% of parents feel insecure about their own reading ability, impacting how much they read to their children. Three essential strategies for fostering a love of reading: Read to children regularly, using engaging voices and interactive questioning. Model reading behaviour by having parents visibly read physical books. Allow children complete autonomy in their reading choices, even if parents consider the material "below standard". Resources Mentioned: Princeton University study on mandatory reading logs and motivation by Sarah Pak Oxford University Press research on Australian family reading habits "Wings of Fire" graphic novel series [affiliate link] "The Magic Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton [affiliate link] "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman [affiliate link] "Donald Duck's New Toy Train" (Little Golden Book) Action Steps for Parents: Remove any mandatory reading tracking systems. Create easily accessible reading spaces with books within arm's reach. Read to children daily, using expressive voices and engaging discussions. Let children see you reading physical books regularly. Allow children to choose their own reading material without judgment. Keep screens separate from reading time - stick to physical books. Make reading a joyful activity rather than a chore. Ask interactive questions about stories to enhance engagement. Read slower than you think necessary to aid comprehension. Create regular family reading times.

It's not every day you run across this skillful an abridgment of S. Morgenstern's classic tale of love and adventure, one that was also turned into a beloved feature film of the same name. But there's something weird going on here. Both author and abridger are editorializing a LOT, and I'm not sure I can even find the kingdom of Florin on a map. Oh well!

My family just watched the movie, “The Princess Bride,” recently. (It was the first time Christina had seen it… can you believe that?) There is a scene in which Westley and Buttercup approach the Fire Swamp. Despite rumors of no one ever surviving the forest due to random bursts of flame, hidden quicksand and R.O.U.S.’s (look it up), Westley neared it confidently. His state of mind remains unfazed as each obstacle comes, and he cares for Buttercup through every trial, talking casually while the forest throws its best challenges to ensnare them. I imagine this mentality in Paul as he receives insight from the Holy Spirit that there is trouble awaiting him ahead. Why does he keep going when this is revealed to him? Because the larger gospel mission to which he has been called bears much more importance. He even states that he doesn’t even value his own life that much, saying, “I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” Do you see that Paul’s perception of his value in life that propels him forward comes from the purpose God gave him? Some of us are pursuing things that we think have value but will leave us empty. Is growing your business something that you think will increase your value? It won’t. Is getting yourself navigated into the right social circles what you value? Let me tell you, it isn’t worth much. There are so many other things that we are pursuing, but the only thing of worth is this: accomplishing the purpose for which God put you on earth. When we discover that God-given purpose, then we can walk through life’s flames and hidden quicksand with a confidence that is out of this world — because it truly is from out of this world. As Paul encourages the church leaders in this passage, he confidently states that his conscience is clear because he did not withhold teaching about anything; he had taught them the whole counsel of God and has no regrets about running his race well. Let’s live with purpose and on purpose, completing the task(s) to which God has individually called us so we can state with confidence that our conscience is clear before God. That is finishing the course well. For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49387571

In this episode, Lee picks up from the prior episode on seeing the trends in your business environment to seeing where you want to be. He summarizes the origins and value of a good mission/vision statement; and also the perils of how poorly and painfully it can be to create them. He provides an alternative approach to creating Rapid Organizational Unit Statements (affectionately referred to as ROUS in a nod to The Princess Bride). The ROUS technique is an engaging and collaborative method that helps teams quickly create clear, concise, and compelling missions. Lee outlines the criteria and a step-by-step process for engaging a group of leaders to create or update your overarching mission and vision. The episode concludes with a preview of the next topic: OKRs (Objectives and Key Results). Additional Resources Connect with Lee on LinkedIn Learn more about Unleashing Leaders  Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Listen to the original episode on Unlocked podcast Key Takeaways: Crafting mission and vision statements is essential for strategic planning. Avoid the traditional painful and time consuming "You're killing me, Smalls" approach. The ROUS technique allows for rapid creation of effective statements. Mission statements answer "Who are we and why are we here?" They should not focus on the services and activities (the what and how). Vision statements answer "Where do we want to be/Where are we going?" Good Mission/Visions focus on the destination and strive to be clear, concise, and compelling. Engaging the team and perhaps key suppliers or customers in the process fosters ownership and alignment.

This podcast will help you find and get scholarships, avoid student loans and maybe even graduate college debt-free!   Hey! I'm Kara, a Christian entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, and scholarship BEAST! I figured out how to not only finish college debt-free, but I even had $10k left over in the bank after graduation. (& btw, my parents weren't able to help me financially either!)   During school, I was worried about paying for next semester. I couldn't find scholarships that worked specifically for me, and didn't know how to get started while juggling homework and keeping up with ALL.THE.THINGS.   But dude, I learned there was a better way! With God's direction, I tested out of classes, and found the perfect scholarships, grants, internships, and weird budget hacks that helped me go from overwhelmed to debt-free with $10k in the bank–all with God on my side.   ... and I'm here to walk you through this, too.   If you are ready to find scholarships specific to you, learn to manage your money well, and have enough money to kill it at college, this pod is for you!   So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you've ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace.
