Listen to Eric's podcast “Bombing with Eric Andre” from iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Podcast Network –– with new episodes every Wednesday Eric Andre rolls in an hour late and somehow still steals the episode. The boys break down YMCA shower farts, sleep apnea setups, and why every redhead is a gamble. Mark and Sam pour Lagavulin 16 while debating whether Cary Grant was bisexual and if showing your feet online is the new stand-up comedy. Eric shares how The Eric Andre Show almost got chopped up for Quibi, confesses he's not drinking much (until he is), and reveals his secret weapon for bombing with grace: texting moms from hecklers' phones. This one's got old-man gym gear, OnlyFans chihuahua crimes, DVD nostalgia, anal fissures, and the real reason Jimmy Stewart never took his shirt off. Strap in, it gets weird. Sponsored by:

While the streaming media landscape is crowded, it could be worse. In this episode, we look at some streaming services that didn't stand the test of time. From platforms that were a bad idea from the start to ones that were victims of corporate mergers, we find out what went wrong.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How does someone land their dream job… right out of college? How does someone position themselves to create some of the biggest breakout products in the tech industry? How does someone walk alongside some of the most successful people in the world? Well… that's what we're talking about in THIS episode… and you might be surprised to find that someone who's done just that will be quick to tell you that he wasn't motivated by ambition… but instead… by enthusiasm and passion. That's right. Tom Conrad is joining us! Tom is living a true DREAM THINK DO life! He dreamed of working for Apple as a kid… and pursued that goal. While going to the University of Michigan… he secured an internship with Apple… and after a bold conversation… he wound up being recruited by Apple after graduating.

For example… he was a co-creator and Chief Technology officer and Executive Vice President of Product at Pandora… which he helped take from zero to 80 million users. He was the VP of Product for Snap… where he worked side by side with Evan Spiegel. (If you don't know… Evan became the youngest billionaire in the world in 2015.) Tom's now the CEO for Zero… a metabolic health app which is on a mission to extend the lifespan and the health span of the human race. He's helped the app to grow to almost 14 million users AND… sidebar… they have a 4.8 in the Apple store… with over 435,000 ratings… which is wildly impressive!

Cesar Santalo, Dean of the College of Communications and Design at Lynn University, shares how he applies design thinking to drive innovation and change in higher education. The interview provides insights into how design thinking can transform universities to meet future demands through empathy, experimentation, and engaging all stakeholders in the process of innovation. Cesar's unique background as an artist/designer is leveraged to inject fresh thinking into academia. Overview The core principles of design thinking he discusses include: Empathy - dive deep to understand the problem from the perspective of all stakeholders. Problem definition - distill insights into a clear, actionable problem statement. Ideation - brainstorm many creative ideas without judging. Prototyping - create rough prototypes to test and learn from. Testing - put prototypes into the real world for feedback, then iterate. He provides examples of design thinking's successful implementation at Lynn, including: Using it to develop their 2025 strategic plan by interviewing over 650 stakeholders. Injecting design thinking into Lynn 101 and Citizenship courses so students gain self-awareness. Creating the Pulse Agency, where students solve real business problems for clients. Moving quickly to create an NFT museum during the NFT boom. Cesar emphasizes the importance of stakeholder engagement, collaboration across disciplines, and creating job-ready graduates through practical learning experiences and internships. Key Takeaways for Higher Ed Leaders: Don't be afraid of failure! Go big or go home. Foster an environment where people feel happy and faculty feel their voices are being heard. Allow faculty to live on the edge. Listen to them and empower them. Create partnerships with local businesses that hire your students, provide internships, and bring equity to higher education.

In this episode, we head back to the U.S. of A. for Real World Horror, where we examine a woman who wanted her ex-husband dead and decided the best course of action was a mysterious "death spell." In Horror Business, we discuss Neve Campbell returning to the Scream franchise, an I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel, and a Quibi original becoming a full length feature film. We also scrutinize reboots of the... classic?... movies Little Shop of Horrors and Ghoulies. Let's all go to the movies. For our film reviews, we give our thoughts on two new films.

We follow that up by exploring Stopmotion, about an animator whose work begins to take over her life to confusing results. So switch your headphones over to The Grave Plot Podcast.

Cinematographer Catherine Goldschmidt was thrilled to be the DP for House of the Dragon, episode eight, “The Lord of the Tides.” It was a huge behemoth of a production, with many cast and crew members, complex set design and costumes, as well as tons of visual effects to work with. But her hard work has paid off with an Emmy nomination for the episode. Catherine worked with director Geeta Patel for “The Lord of the Tides.” House of the Dragon is mainly shot with two cameras, plus a third camera that floats between units. For this episode, which included an epic family dinner and dramatic throne room scenes, they used 4 cameras and lots of planning to capture all the action. Her favorite scene in “The Lord of the Tides” was when Daemon Targaryen hunts for dragon eggs, which mainly used practical effects and stunts. “The camera glides along the floor and up the mound, and you see somebody kneel down- you don't see who they are. They're digging, they're digging, they're digging, the egg comes out and then you reveal it's Daemon, all in one shot.” Growing up in New Jersey, Catherine tried theater and then helped make a short student film in college, which inspired her to pursue film. She soon moved to LA and began working as a camera assistant, then went to AFI for grad school. Catherine worked on the first scripted Quibi series, Dummy starring Anna Kendrick. She was asked to shoot the series so that it could be viewed on phones in two different aspect ratios, both horizontal and vertical. It seemed like it would be overly complicated, but Catherine figured out a way to frame for a square. Both aspect ratios could be taken from that, without affecting the framing of the shots. Catherine was cinematographer on two episodes of the upcoming House of the Dragon Season 2.
