Freddy Got Fingered (2001) was chosen by Supporter and friend of the show Blake, and it stands as one of the most infamous, chaotic, and downright bewildering productions ever funded by a major Hollywood studio. Directed by and starring Tom Green at the height of his MTV shock-comedy fame, the film was conceived as a vehicle to capture — and escalate — his unpredictable, confrontational brand of humor. Fox initially expected a quirky, outrageous teen comedy, but Green pushed the project into a surreal, boundary-smashing experiment, gleefully testing how far studio executives were willing to go. With a budget of around $14 million, he was given surprising creative freedom, shooting scenes that baffled executives but perfectly embodied his anti-comedy sensibilities.Behind the scenes, the production became something of a Hollywood legend. Tom Green committed fully to every bizarre creative impulse, often rewriting or improvising scenes on the day of shooting, much to the confusion of cast and crew. Actors like Rip Torn and Julie Hagerty were brought into the madness, delivering straight-faced performances amid escalating absurdity. Studio executives, increasingly horrified by what they were seeing, considered interfering but ultimately allowed Green to finish the film exactly as he envisioned it. Upon release, Freddy Got Fingered was critically savaged and won multiple Razzie Awards — including Worst Picture — but over the years it has gained a cult following, celebrated by some as a piece of surrealist outsider art wrapped in the guise of a studio comedy.If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryPrepare yourself… for a comedy that went too far, then kept going.When Gord Brody, a wannabe animator with a vivid imagination and zero impulse control, leaves home to chase his dreams, chaos follows in every direction. From catastrophic career moves to catastrophic family moments, Gord's journey spirals into a whirlwind of wild gags, screaming matches, and deeply questionable decisions — all delivered with the enthusiasm of a man who has absolutely nothing to lose.Freddy Got Fingered — a film so outrageous, so unhinged, and so defiantly stupid… you'll wonder how it ever got made.Fun FactsTom Green personally promoted the film in extreme ways, including arriving at the Razzies to accept his awards in person - and playing harmonica on stage until producers dragged him off.The film's infamous “Daddy, would you like some sausage?” scene has become one of the most quoted and memed moments in early-2000s comedy.Freddy Got Fingered was Tom Green's feature directorial debut, following the success of The Tom Green Show on MTV.Rip Torn agreed to the role because he admired Green's fearlessness, even though Torn described some days on set as “completely insane.”Several of the movie's props and costumes, including the sausage-pulley rig, were built by Green himself.Despite being critically panned, the movie later became a favourite of filmmakers like Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, who praised its “anti-comedy genius.”The initial test screenings reportedly caused walkouts, but studio executives decided to keep most scenes intact because Green insisted the discomfort was the point.The film includes several cameos from MTV personalities of the era, tying it directly to early-2000s pop culture.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

A lot of agents and teams feel like their business is “stable” because they're getting a steady flow of leads from referral companies, portals, and third-party sites. And honestly, on the surface, it does feel safe: leads come in, you call them, you close a few deals, and life moves on. But here's the part most people don't say out loud: if your entire pipeline depends on someone else sending you leads, you're not actually in control of your business. Your income is tied to whatever those companies decide to do next. You're giving up 30–40% of every check, and you're trusting that the tap won't suddenly get turned off, reassigned, or doubled in cost. That's not stability, that's dependency disguised as consistency. And because it feels easier, a lot of agents lean even harder into buying leads. They think it's the answer to a slow month or the “fix” for not having their own lead-gen system. But buying leads doesn't solve the problem; it just keeps you stuck in the same cycle. The only real solution is learning how to create your own leads, so no company, no policy change, and no algorithm can decide how much business you're going to have next month. So how do you take control of your lead flow? In this episode, we break down how to move from being at the mercy of lead companies to building something you actually control. We get into the lead-gen channels that still work, the overlooked power of your database, and why the real goal isn't just collecting contacts, it's building an actual audience that pays attention to you. Things You'll Learn In This Episode You can't build a stable business on someone else's lead flow Referral companies can shut off or reassign leads at any moment. How do you stop outsourcing lead gen and start owning every lead you create? Your database isn't enough; you need an audience A list gives you names; an audience gives you influence. How does your business change when people actually look forward to your market updates? Traditional lead gen still works Expireds, FSBOs, circle prospecting, open houses…they're still gold mines. How differently do they perform when every contact automatically becomes part of a long-term nurture engine? Consistency beats cost every time How does such a simple communication rhythm end up producing more listings than any paid referral program?

Malibu Express (1985) was chosen by Patreon supporter Herb, who has mastered the art of selecting premium-grade, sun-bleached 80s glamour for the show. Written and directed by Andy Sidaris, the film was part of his long-running “Bullets, Bombs and Babes” cycle — a collection of action-comedies known for fast cars, glamorous models, and plots that take a distant back seat to the spectacle. Produced on a modest budget, the movie was shot largely around Malibu and Los Angeles, using Sidaris's signature mix of real locations, Playboy Playmates, and outrageous action beats. Sidaris, a former sports TV director, carried over his love of dynamic camera movement, helicopter shots, and glossy production values, giving the film a surprisingly polished look despite its low-budget roots.Behind the scenes, Malibu Express was a family operation. Andy Sidaris worked closely with his wife, Arlene Sidaris, who produced many of his films and helped build the distinctive “L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies” brand that would later define his work. The cast was a mix of rising models, stunt performers, and cult character actors — all encouraged to keep the tone light, playful, and unapologetically over-the-top. The movie embraced the early-80s explosion of VHS demand, engineered specifically to appeal to video-store thrillseekers looking for bikinis, guns, fast boats, and pure escapist nonsense. While critics dismissed it, Malibu Express became a staple of late-night cable and home video, paving the way for Sidaris's even more outrageous follow-ups like Hard Ticket to Hawaii.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryBuckle up… because the sun's out, the boats are fast, and the shirts are nowhere to be found.Meet Cody Abilene — part detective, part playboy, and full-time trouble magnet. When a simple job turns into a whirlwind of bullets, bikinis, and beachside chaos, Cody cruises into danger with nothing but his wits, his charm, and a cowboy hat that refuses to quit.Malibu Express — where the action is hot, the engines are loud, and the mystery is mostly an excuse for more explosions.Fun FactsMalibu Express was the first film in Andy Sidaris's “Triple B” series, which later included cult favorites like Hard Ticket to Hawaii, Picasso Trigger, and Savage Beach.Lead actor Darby Hinton was best known at the time for playing Israel Boone on the classic TV series Daniel Boone before reinventing himself as an 80s action-comedy star.The iconic red DeLorean-style sports car Cody drives in the film is a Sterling Kit Car, built on a Volkswagen chassis to give the illusion of a futuristic supercar on a budget.Although set in Malibu, many interior scenes were filmed in Sidaris's own home, a common cost-saving tactic he used throughout his career.The movie features early appearances by Sybil Danning and Kymberly Paige, who later became regulars in Sidaris's L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies universe.Malibu Express was a major VHS hit, with video rental stores frequently placing it in their “top 10 rentals” thanks to its eye-catching artwork and 80s sex-comedy-energy.Sidaris employed a small but consistent stunt team, meaning some action performers appeared in nearly every film he made throughout the decade.The mansion used for exterior shots belonged to a real Malibu millionaire, who allowed filming in exchange for a small role and a producer credit.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

Send us a textThe National Association of REALTORs was in the news last week concerning two policies. One was changed and the other was upheld. First, NAR voted to end the requirement of NAR membership to gain access to REALTOR owned MLSs. This is a great policy change but did the change go far enough?Secondly, NAR failed to approve the required disclosure of referral fees in a real estate transaction. This is a very bad look for the Association especially when you hear the amount of support in the Association for the change.

Champagne and Bullets (1993) was chosen by JAC, who has a real talent for uncovering the most outrageous, bewildering, and unintentionally hilarious films ever committed to VHS. Written, directed, produced, and starring John De Hart, the movie is one of the most unique vanity projects of the early '90s - a full-throttle explosion of action, romance, country music, and courtroom drama held together by sheer force of ego. De Hart, a California trial lawyer with big Hollywood ambitions, financed the film himself and assembled a cast that included Wings Hauser and William Smith, two cult icons of low-budget action cinema. Shooting took place around Los Angeles on a shoestring budget, with much of the film's tone shaped by De Hart's insistence on performing his own music, writing his own poetry, and choreographing his own dance numbers.The production quickly became infamous behind the scenes for its chaotic mix of genres, improvised sequences, and the cast's varying levels of investment. Wings Hauser, in particular, was reportedly encouraged to “just go for it,” resulting in some of the film's most legendary moments — including his drunken, half-ad-libbed musical performance that has since become a cult highlight. The movie went through several edits and re-releases, most notably the 2013 version titled Road to Revenge, before the original cut was restored and championed by boutique labels and cult film festivals. Today, Champagne and Bullets stands as a gleefully bizarre testament to what happens when one man attempts to make the ultimate action movie entirely on his own terms - a glorious disaster that's now celebrated as a cult gem for all the wrong (and therefore absolutely right) reasons.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryGet ready for justice… John De Hart style.When corruption runs wild and the system breaks down, one man steps forward - armed with a badge, a guitar, and absolutely no self-awareness.

Did Zillow really offer Compass up to $1.6 BILLION a year if they'd let Zillow help "double-end" pre-marketed listings? In Episode 343 of tWiRE, we break down Robert Reffkin's viral post, what that alleged offer actually was, and what it says about portals, power, and who really controls the consumer relationship in today's real estate market. Then we zoom out to everything shaking the 2025 housing market this week: Zillow quietly scrubbing climate-risk scores from listings, new pushes for referral-fee transparency, and fresh affordability data showing just how hard it is to rent or buy on a normal income. In this episode, we cover: Compass vs. Zillow Reffkin's claim that Zillow dangled a $1.3–$1.6B "revenue uplift" if Compass let the portal route every buyer to a Compass buyer's agent on pre-marketed listings. Why Compass says it walked away, what this means for double-ending deals, and how real estate agents should talk about this with their own buyers and sellers. Zillow pulls climate data Why climate-risk scores vanished from listings. MLS complaints about accuracy versus buyers' right to know about flood, fire, and heat risk. What this change means for consumer trust, disclosure, and liability going forward. Referral fees and fine print How the California Association of Realtors is rewriting forms to spotlight referral fees after NAR's failed vote. Why big brokerages are rolling out their own enhanced referral-fee disclosures anyway, and what smart agents should be doing now. Affordability crisis check-in New numbers showing the typical retail worker earns tens of thousands less than they need to afford the typical apartment. A construction labor crunch that is driving up costs, slowing new-home delivery, and deepening the housing affordability crisis. How labor, regulation, and rent burdens are colliding to keep housing out of reach for many renters and first-time buyers. Prices, new construction, and buyer regret Zillow data showing record-level price cuts and what that really means for sellers who still want "spring 2022 money." New-construction's price premium dropping to a record-low 10.2% and why builders are suddenly some of the most motivated sellers in the market. Buyer's remorse falling sharply as days on market stretch, contingencies come back, and buyers get more time to think. Contracts, cancellations, and mortgage rates About 15% of October home-purchase contracts falling through and where cancellations are clustering. Mortgage rates finally ticking lower, why demand barely moved, and what to watch as markets react to the next round of economic news. Whether you're an agent, buyer, seller, or real estate investor, this episode is all about power and pressure in today's market: who controls the listings, who controls the fees, and who is getting squeezed on the ground.
Fewer than 20% of women take part in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs, which is one of the most proven ways to recover and prevent another heart event Women who complete cardiac rehab lower their risk of hospitalization by up to 42% and reduce their risk of death from heart disease by as much as 58%, gaining both longer life and better quality of life Referral bias is a major reason for low participation — women are referred for cardiac rehab less often than men, and rates are even lower among Black, Hispanic, and Asian women, where participation averages just 10% to 12% Automatic referrals, flexible scheduling, home-based or hybrid options, and women-only programs are powerful, research-backed strategies that dramatically increase enrollment and completion rates Cardiac rehab isn't just exercise — it's a personalized recovery plan that rebuilds heart strength, lowers stress, and restores confidence, giving women a structured way to take back control of their health and their future
Getting referrals from other patients is critical to the success of any local practice. Are you really getting as many referrals as you can? My guest today has built a system to make sure she can say she does, and she'll give us some insights into her system on this episode.Mary Lou Savino has been practicing physical therapy since 1992 and opened Be Fit PT & Pilates in 2008. She specializes in the use of Pilates as therapeutic exercise in rehab with an eclectic approach to incorporating Pilates, Dry Needling, Light Therapy and wellness modalities into treatments. Mary Lou has always been a fitness and health enthusiast, so her concept behind this integrated model was to be able to go beyond traditional PT and utilize things like light therapy, dry needling, Pilates and core strengthening, and massage therapies to be a more well-rounded practice and to be able to take PT to the next level.In this episode Carl White and Mary Lou Savino discuss:When she realized that building a system for referrals was a good moveThe core elements of her system, for example, the front desk's role, and measuring patient responses to the systemWhat part(s) of the system she's working on now, and whyWant to be a guest on PracticeCare®?Have an experience with a business issue you think others will benefit from?

PhotoBizX The Ultimate Portrait and Wedding Photography Business Podcast
Referrals are one of the most powerful growth levers in a photography business — yet most photographers treat them like something mysterious or magical that “just happens” when the work is good enough. In this conversation, Stacey Brown Randall dismantles that myth completely. She explains why great photos and happy clients don't automatically lead to consistent referrals… and why the missing link is almost always the client experience itself. Not the workflow, not the quality of the images — but how clients feel at every stage of working with you. Stacey shares the simple shifts photographers can make to turn happy clients into referring clients — without scripts, awkward asks, discounts, or gimmicks. From identifying “referral hot zones” to planting subtle referral seeds, to using handwritten notes and thoughtful touch points that genuinely make clients feel seen… she lays out a new way to think about referrals that's grounded in connection, not tactics. If you've ever wondered why your clients say they love you but rarely send people your way — or if you want to build a business that grows through trust, reputation, and genuine word-of-mouth — this episode will change how you approach your client experience.

More than 9,000 women who were referred to urgent breast cancer clinics across Ireland this year have not been seen within the recommended two-week time frame.

‘Ghost in the Shell Roleplaying Game’, a collaboration between Mana Project Studio and Don't Panic Games, is based on the Production I.G. anime and Shirow Masamune manga. It is currently in the final days of its Kickstarter campaign, which has raised over $418,000, with a trade release planned for 2027. The game is set at the dawn of Section 9’s birth, specifically the Arise timeline of 2027, and utilizes a heavily modified version of the Forged in the Dark system. Its unique mechanics center around two core skill branches, Ghost (soul and mind/social and hacking) and Shell (physical prowess/gunplay and CQC), which are used for Wired Actions with six-sided dice rolls. ‘Twilight Sword RPG by 2LM’ is an adventure role-playing game being crowdfunded on BackerKit by Two Little Mice and publisher Free League. Heavily inspired by classic video games like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Ni No Kuni, the game is set in the world of Radia where heroes strive to bring back Hope against the scourge Vardas. The system, called Created at Twilight (CAT), is unique and d12-based, requiring players to roll under one of their eight abilities. It also incorporates a JRPG-style elemental system with a network of eight elements that interact, such as Fire beating Ice, and Thunder beating Water. The campaign has already surpassed $450,000 in its first day. ‘Daggerheart: Hope and Fear,’ the first major expansion for Critical Role's Daggerheart RPG, scheduled for release in Summer 2026. This expansion promises a substantial amount of new content, including four new classes: the Assassin, Brawler, Warlock, and Witch, each coming with two subclass options. It also provides an extensive GM's Toolkit with four new Campaign Frames, over 130 new Adversaries, and more than 100 new items. New mechanics include “transformations” like being cursed as a werewolf or vampire, and the expansion utilizes a new Dread Domain for Warlocks and Witches, alongside custom Fear tokens and a tracker for the GM.

Lair of the White Worm (1988) is picked by Dave this week, and it's one of those wonderfully unhinged British horror films that could only have come out of the'80s. Written and directed by Ken Russell, the movie was loosely based on Bram Stoker's 1911 novel of the same name - though in true Russell fashion, it quickly veered far from the source material and into surreal, erotic, and darkly comic territory. Produced by Vestron Pictures, the same studio behind Dirty Dancing and Return of the Living Dead, the film was made on a modest budget of around $2 million. Despite its low cost, Russell filled it with his signature visual flamboyance, blending Gothic horror, mythological imagery, and satirical British eccentricity into something uniquely chaotic.Filming took place in Derbyshire, England, using local countryside locations to give the film its haunting yet distinctly English atmosphere. The cast included a mix of rising and established talent - notably a young Hugh Grant, years before his rom-com fame, and Peter Capaldi, long before becoming Doctor Who. The movie was shot in just six weeks, with Russell working fast and loose, improvising many of the more bizarre scenes on set. Upon release, it divided critics: some praised its camp energy and gleeful weirdness, while others dismissed it as absurd. Over the years, though, Lair of the White Worm has achieved cult status - celebrated for its blend of folk horror, sensuality, and sheer outrageousness that only Ken Russell could deliver.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryIn the quiet English countryside, something ancient… something hungry… has awakened.When a strange discovery uncovers a dark legend, a group of unsuspecting locals is pulled into a world of hypnotic seduction, slithering evil, and serpentine terror. As ancient forces rise and modern reason crumbles, the line between myth and nightmare disappears - and no one is safe from the creature that has waited centuries to strike.Lair of the White Worm — brace yourself… this is one bite you won't walk away from.Fun FactsLair of the White Worm was one of Vestron Pictures' final horror productions before the company collapsed in the late 1980s.The film is very loosely based on Bram Stoker's novel of the same name — many critics note that only names and the central “worm” concept survive Ken Russell's adaptation.Amanda Donohoe, who plays the seductive Lady Sylvia Marsh, won the role after Russell saw her on stage in London and loved her bold, fearless screen presence.The movie contains several surreal hallucination sequences inspired by Ken Russell's own Catholic school upbringing, which he frequently mocked in his work.Hugh Grant has said that working with Russell early in his career taught him to embrace creative risks, even when the material was utterly bizarre.The white worm effects were achieved using hand-built animatronics and puppetry, combined with old-school editing tricks to hide limited movement.Costume designer Vicki Carroll created Lady Sylvia's iconic snake-themed outfits, including her famous white body paint and fanged headpiece.The film's soundtrack includes original music composed by Stanley Myers, who is also known for scoring The Deer Hunter.The movie was released unrated in the United States because the producers felt an MPAA rating would be impossible without severe cuts.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck are joined by Jessica Fukuchi, co-founder of PCRG Insurance. They dive into the often-overlooked world of high-net-worth personal lines insurance and why middle-market commercial producers need to pay attention to it. Jessica shares her journey from a captive agent to building an independent agency specializing in high-net-worth clients, often through referrals from financial advisors. The conversation explores the strategic importance of partnering with a high-net-worth specialist to protect commercial accounts from being poached by large brokerages that offer both commercial and private client services. Key Highlights: Protecting Your Book with High Net Worth Partners David emphasizes a critical vulnerability for middle-market producers: if you aren't addressing the personal insurance needs of business owners and executives, a competitor who does—like a large national broker—can use that as a wedge to take the entire commercial account. Partnering with a specialist like Jessica allows agents to offer this service without having to master the complexities of the high-net-worth market themselves. Navigating the High Net Worth Landscape Jessica explains the nuances of the high-net-worth market, from working with family offices to understanding the complex portfolios of wealthy clients (multiple homes, luxury cars, etc.). She discusses the current hard market for umbrella and excess liability, noting that securing high limits often requires stacking policies from multiple carriers, a strategy far different from standard personal lines. The "Duty to Offer" and Risk Management The discussion touches on the agent's "duty to offer" comprehensive protection. David and Jessica agree that failing to discuss personal excess liability or cyber coverage with a wealthy client is a disservice that could lead to E&O issues. They highlight unique risks like kidnap and ransom for high-profile clients and the importance of addressing the "insurance junk drawer" many wealthy individuals accumulate. Work-Life Balance and Setting Boundaries Jessica shares her personal journey of overcoming burnout by setting strict boundaries between work and personal life. She discusses how delegating tasks, hiring a VP, and being transparent with her team about her need for family time allowed her to regain balance. This segment resonates with the hosts, who also prioritize life experiences and travel over being tethered to the office 24/7.

Men at Work (1990) was chosen by co-host Chris, and it's a perfect fit for his love of oddball comedies from the VHS era. Written and directed by Emilio Estevez, the film was a true family affair — with Estevez not only helming the project but also starring alongside his real-life brother, Charlie Sheen. Coming off the back of their late-'80s fame from Young Guns and Wall Street, the pair teamed up for a buddy comedy that blended slapstick humor, blue-collar chaos, and a dash of political satire. Produced by Epic Productions and distributed by Triumph Releasing (a Columbia Pictures subsidiary), Men at Work was Estevez's second outing as a writer-director, following his 1986 drama Wisdom. The project gave him the freedom to craft a film that played directly to the chemistry he shared with his brother — the same mix of bravado and goofiness that made it a cult favorite among fans of early-'90s video store comedies.Filmed primarily around Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach, California, Men at Work embraced the laid-back coastal vibe of Southern California. The shoot was relatively quick and low-budget by Hollywood standards, with much of the film's tone shaped through improvisation between Estevez and Sheen. The movie's soundtrack captured the spirit of the late '80s and early '90s, featuring a mix of surf rock, funk, and classic rock tracks. While it didn't make waves critically, Men at Work found a second life on VHS and cable television, where its offbeat humor and brotherly banter turned it into a nostalgic favorite. Today, it stands as a snapshot of a more carefree era in comedy filmmaking — a time when movies about two guys, a truck, and a ridiculous situation could carry an entire Friday night rental.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryThey're brothers. They're garbage men. And they've just picked up more than they bargained for.Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez star in the ultimate blue-collar buddy comedy — where trash day turns into doomsday. Between the laughs, the chases, and the chaos, these two underdogs are about to clean up the streets… one bad guy at a time.Men at Work — crime, comedy, and complete rubbish.Fun FactsMen at Work was originally written as a dark political thriller, but Emilio Estevez reworked it into a comedy after deciding it would work better as a light-hearted buddy film.Estevez reportedly wrote the first draft of the script in the mid-1980s, years before the film was made, while he was still working on The Breakfast Club (1985).The movie's tagline — "Garbage men by day. Detectives by night." — was coined late in production as a tongue-in-cheek nod to 1980s action clichés.Estevez cast real-life surfer and character actor Keith David as Louis Fedders, the paranoid war veteran, after seeing his intense performance in John Carpenter's They Live (1988).The garbage truck used in the movie became something of a collector's item among fans and was later used in several low-budget TV shows filmed in California.Charlie Sheen's character's surfboard was custom-made by a local Hermosa Beach surf shop, and Estevez let Sheen keep it after filming.The film's theme song, “I'm Gonna Use What I Got,” was performed by The Rude Boys, adding to the film's distinctive late-'80s funk-rock vibe.Estevez and Sheen performed many of their own stunts, including the beach chase sequences, to save on the production budget.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback
NAR is ripping up parts of the rulebook and claiming a win in court, Zillow says 53% of homes lost value, and Redfin is calling this the strongest buyer's market in more than a decade. So… is the housing market finally shifting, or are we just stuck in a weird standstill? In this live episode of tWiRE (This Week in Real Estate), we're breaking down: • NAR's "dawn of a new era" – their new 3-year strategic plan to rebuild trust, modernize tools and data, and tighten ethical standards after two brutal years of controversy. • A key NAR win in a buyer commission case – why the judge striking down the proposed class (because it overlaps with Sitzer | Burnett) matters for future commission lawsuits and industry risk. • MLS access goes local – NAR repeals the national rule tying MLS access to Realtor membership and hands the decision to local MLSs after a major risk review and a slate of policy changes. • Referral fee transparency fight – the board voted for wider disclosure, the delegate body shot it down. We'll talk about what that says about "pro-consumer" messaging vs. how money really moves in real estate. Then we zoom out to the market: • "53% of homes lost value" – what that headline actually means (and doesn't), how most homeowners are really positioned, and how to talk nervous sellers off the ledge without sugarcoating reality. • Strongest buyer's market in over a decade – sellers outnumber buyers by a wide margin, especially in key metros, but it only feels like a buyer's market if you can afford to play. • A housing market that's basically stuck – sales, new listings, and prices are barely moving; yet national home prices still inched up in October even as activity plateaus. • Rates and demand – mortgage rates just hit their highest level in a month, loan demand is down about 5%, and pending home sales are slipping as buyers wait for lower rates and economic clarity. • If you're an agent, buyer, seller, or investor trying to figure out what to do next in this "buyer's market that doesn't really feel like one," this episode is for you.

The Wiz (1978) was chosen by show supporter Maff, who's got a talent for picking bold, imaginative movies that really stand out from the pack. This time, he's gone for one of the most ambitious musical productions ever made. The Wiz was Universal's lavish reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, retold through the lens of African American culture and late-1970s New York style. Directed by Sidney Lumet — more famous for his gritty urban dramas like Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon — the film brought together an all-star cast including Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell, Lena Horne, and Richard Pryor. With a staggering $24 million budget, it was one of the most expensive musicals of its era, aiming to blend Broadway magic with the spectacle of big-screen fantasy.The production was a monumental undertaking. Filming took place across New York City landmarks like the World Trade Center, the New York State Pavilion, and the Cyclone rollercoaster in Coney Island, all transformed into surreal fantasy settings. Legendary producer Quincy Jones oversaw the music, infusing the original Broadway score with disco, funk, and gospel influences. Despite its breathtaking ambition, The Wiz was plagued by production challenges, critical skepticism, and financial losses on release. However, in the years since, it has earned cult classic status — celebrated for its stunning visuals, imaginative choreography, and Michael Jackson's breakout film performance. It may not have conquered the box office, but The Wiz remains a vibrant, soulful experiment that dared to take Oz somewhere entirely new.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryShe wanted something more… but she never imagined this.When a storm sweeps a shy Harlem schoolteacher into a world unlike anything she's ever known, she must follow the road, face her fears, and find her way home — with the help of some unforgettable friends.Starring Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and Richard Pryor — from the streets of New York to the land of Oz, it's a journey of music, magic, and pure 1970s soul.*The Wiz* — ease on down the road to where dreams, disco, and destiny collide.Fun FactsThe Wiz began as a Broadway musical in 1975, which won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical — long before the movie version was made.Motown Productions co-financed the film, marking one of the first major studio partnerships between Hollywood and a Black-owned entertainment company.Michael Jackson was only 19 years old when he starred as the Scarecrow — and the experience led to his lifelong creative partnership with Quincy Jones.The film's costume designer, Tony Walton, created over 300 costumes, many of which were made from recycled materials to give the movie's world a gritty, urban feel.Sidney Lumet's wife, Gail Jones, the daughter of Lena Horne, helped convince Lumet to take on the project despite his lack of musical experience.The movie's version of “Ease on Down the Road” became a chart-topping hit for Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, reaching #41 on the Billboard Hot 100.The yellow brick road was constructed from real vinyl flooring, giving it that glossy, otherworldly shine seen in the film.The production used over 650 dancers for the film's large-scale musical sequences — one of the biggest ensembles ever assembled for a musical at the time.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback
