Podcasts about Reverberation

So much better than we expected! Natalie Grace in Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (2026) ★★★★ The first half of 2026 certainly made a statement in the horror genre. Reverberations will be felt across Hollywood as studios reassess what constitutes a blockbuster. The recent critical success of Sinners, Weapons, and The Substance appears to be bearing fruit. The results may have led to a diverse slate of offerings for 2026, and it is reflected in the wide array of horror offerings so far this year. If variety is your preference, then you have been in luck, so far. The unimaginable financial and critical success of Obsession and Backrooms, particularly given their low cost, have re-written the horror producer’s playbook, and will have a lasting impact for years to come. The Scariest Things evaluated what we’ve seen so far, and have come back with a report card of our favorites. The Mid Major – Large Indie Productions: It will be interesting to do an autopsy of 2026’s horror fare when we do our year end assessment. This year’s crop has been notably light on mid-major productions so far. The roaring successes we’ve seen thus far have been from the deep indie filmmakers. Backrooms, Undertone, Hokum, and Obsession. All original titles, and produced for less than $5 million. These are not the type of films you would typically predict would be box office hits. But, they outperformed any reasonable expectation, particularly startling for Backrooms and Obsession, which will have cinema economists trying to figure out the alchemy. The Major Studios: There were only a few major studio franchise sequels this year. All of them capable, but none of them superseding their source material. Scream 7 did very well at the box office, but it failed to make a big impression. Evil Dead Burn was a very violent, very intense outing that didn’t connect in the way its predecessors have. Scary Movie also did well on its $30 million budget, earning $210 million, its long layoff didn’t hurt its popularity, despite the derivative humor. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was a hit with critics (including our own Liz Williams) but it’s turn from zombies may have hurt it in the box office, as it probably will not make its budget back. The notable big comeback was Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, which gives horror fans hope that Universal has gotten their monsterverse back on track, and remembered how to deliver a vicious movie with a good story. The Festival Circuit: Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to get out to as many film festivals this year as we would have liked, but we still managed to review a lot of great small indie horror films. Our traditional rotation of SXSW, Overlook, Portland Horror, and Popcorn Frights all provided very interesting films from emerging filmmakers. Even the bigger festival this year were heavy on small indie productions, and there were a lot of good offerings. We didn’t discuss all of them in our Podcast, but you can review a lot of the movies we saw with links on the images below. There is an emerging trend of release schedules for many of the best independent horror films, relative to the festival circuit. Open at SXSW (Or sometimes Sundance), get some buzz, go to Overlook to validate the buzz, and then release in the early summer. It can be a big momentum builder. Last year it was The Ugly Stepsister (Oscar Nom), and Good Boy that were the big beneficiaries of that combination. This year it was Obsession, Hokum, and Leviticus. Sometimes Panic Fest will factor into the equation, depending on when runs relative to Overlook. Popcorn Frights still brought a massive catalogue for viewing, but this year was more reliant on reperatory films. Some of my favorite films this year were horror adjacent, and all of their streaming content was small indie productions. Our favorite local festival, The Portland Horror Film Festival had an unusually large amount of feature films, and the best part was that almost all of the directors participated in the festival. We were fortunate to get interviews with all of them. Check out our Podcasts for the interviews. It was a diverse group of films, and not a dud among them. What is Still Coming in 2026? Probably the most intriguing film still due out is a new take on Resident Evil by Zach Cregger, the director of Barbarian and Weapons. This is a major tonal shift for Sony. No more Mia Jovovic or Paul W.S. Anderson. Video game translations are usually dubious, and the franchise squandered its potential. It became more superhero and less horror. However, Sony is gambling that with the right creator, it might revitalize the legacy, and Cregger may inject real scares into this franchise for the first time since the original. We shall see. The trailer looks great. Other Mommy, which arrives on October 9, has some incredibly disturbing visuals. Jessica Chastain stars, and Rob Savage (Host) directs. This uncanny-valley movie came late to my radar and is intriguing. Later this August, the Insidious franchise is issuing Insidious: Out of the Further. Lin Shaye returns, Leigh Whannell writes this, and it has a banger trailer. This franchise has maintained some of the scariest PG-13 fare, but the sequels have been a gradual decline in quality. We’ll see how this goes. Beware Boiúna might give us the Anaconda movie we wish we got earlier this year, and wipe the slate clean from the Jack Black/Paul Rudd disappointment. It’s R-rated, and features reliable scream queen Jessica Rothe, along with Logan Marshall-Green and Kiana Madeira in the Amazon. The trailer impressed me with the snake’s monstrousness. Another fascinating man-vs-nature survival tale is Whalefall, a terrifying concept in which a scuba diver is in jeopardy of being consumed by a sperm whale if the giant squid the whale has snagged doesn’t kill him first. Clayface will attempt to bridge the superhero and horror genres, which is no easy feat. Will it have enough horror for horror fans, and will it have enough fealty to the Batman universe to appeal to the comic book fans? Mike Flanagan wrote it, and it promises real R-rated body horror, so it could be very interesting. Lastly, Robert Eggers’ period piece Werwulf is getting the full Eggers treatment, in monochrome and as moody as you could possibly want. Hopefully it will get the stink of the Wolf Man out of our popcorn. Just give me a great transformation scene, please. Keep an eye out for It Ends, a festival darling from 2025 which is finally getting a limited release this year. It is a brilliant, if melancholy purgatory metaphor. If you enjoyed Backrooms, you should check this film out if you are lucky enough to have it showing in a theater near you. Of course, some smaller films will come out of the shadows and inevitably make our end-of-the-top-10 lists, but this is what we know so far.

Jody and Tara share the story behind the band's recent single, “Reverberations” and the themes found within the notes. They talk about how they first met and what happened to kick off this collaboration. We also get a sneak peek at a soon-to-be-released single later this summer. “Reverberations” wraps up this interview, and we hope you check out their other releases. Want to know more?

Reverberations of Culture: Racialized Performance in Early Twentieth-Century Musical Variety by Just a Buncha Clowns (Routledge, 2026) by Dr. Shane Breaux examines musical variety clowns and the broad array of racial and ethnic impersonations they performed on four distinct touring circuits and apparatuses: the African American Theatre Owners Booking Association (TOBA), the Chinese American so-called Chop Suey Circuit, the Mexican and Mexican American carpas tours, and Country American barn dances. This book explores the overlooked history of touring clown performers in early twentieth-century musical variety shows, addressing both their historical marginalization and their significant impact on popular entertainment. By examining these performers' widespread presences both on and off stage, the work challenges traditional historical narratives that have excluded diverse voices, particularly women and non-white performers. The research corrects a common misconception that racial impersonation in musical variety was exclusively the domain of white male performers. Instead, it reveals how performers and managers from various backgrounds actively challenged prevailing ideas about American identity, whiteness, and cultural inclusion. Through this lens, the book demonstrates that musical comedy performance and management were not exclusively white privileges, but rather spaces where diverse artists contributed significantly to early twentieth-century entertainment culture and beyond. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Instead, it reveals how performers and managers from various backgrounds actively challenged prevailing ideas about American identity, whiteness, and cultural inclusion. Through this lens, the book demonstrates that musical comedy performance and management were not exclusively white privileges, but rather spaces where diverse artists contributed significantly to early twentieth-century entertainment culture and beyond. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Grief and loss are universal, ubiquitous, an also unique, personal. My guest today is Dr. Mike Hogue, whose evolving work on structural grief is an invitation to engage this multifaceted and often elusive experience.*Notes from the episode*Michael S. Hogue, Ph.D. (U. Chicago), is a philosopher, theologian, writer, and teacher exploring questions of meaning, morality, and mortality in a turbulent world. Whether on the page or in the classroom, Michael invites others to a more attuned, relational, and accountable way of becoming more human in a more-than-human world. He's authored several academic books, including American Immanence: Democracy for an Uncertain World (Columbia, 2018).

This is the fourth in our series of recap episodes, offering a synthesis of our 1792-1804 coverage one year at a time. Chris Sloan talks presenter Alex Stevenson through specific key clips he's picked out from our old episodes grouped around four themes which, we argue, help frame the period and shape our understanding of it in a whole new way. We hope this will provide a helpful refresh for longstanding listeners - whilst at the same time offering an 'entry ramp' to the podcast for those who want to get up to speed relatively easily before we crash full-speed into the intensity of the Napoleonic Wars.This episode covers 1795, a year in which French politics is just as full of turmoil as ever before - but that isn't stopping French military success across the continent. It's quite the contrast: purges, insurrections and uprisings in Paris, at the same time as French forces cross the Rhine, taking war deeper into Austrian-controlled territory, and the Prussians, Spanish and others drop out of the fight altogether. British efforts around the edges feel just that, marginal; an ill-fated expedition to stir up revolt in Brittany, the seizure of Cape Town and on Sri Lanka of Trincomalee. And empire-building continues in eastern Europe too, with the final partition of Poland. What a 12 months - and it's all laying the groundwork for an even more remarkable year next time round...

While the global food system has largely adjusted to the disruptions in agricultural commodities and fertilizers following the invasion of Ukraine, the new conflict in the Middle East introduces a new set of challenges at a time when markets and supply chains remain vulnerable to geopolitical shocks. Disruptions to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant share of the world's oil and natural gas, as well as fertilizers, transit. Concerns about potential impacts on production sites in the region have added to the uncertainty. These developments have implications for countries heavily reliant on Gulf producers for oil, gas, and fertilizers, as well as for food-import dependent economies in the Gulf, should agricultural shipments to the region face prolonged delays. While the immediate effects on trade flows and prices are still unfolding, higher energy and fertilizer costs can influence agricultural production decisions and, over time, shape food security outcomes. Understanding these dynamics early is important for anticipating where pressures may emerge and how they may interact with existing vulnerabilities. As global food systems become increasingly exposed to conflict-related and geopolitical risks, timely analysis is essential for informing both rapid response and longer-term resilience efforts. Clear insights into potential stress points and market adjustments can help governments, value chain actors, development partners, and humanitarian organizations prepare and respond effectively. The event will feature: Presentations from IFPRI experts, who will provide an up‑to‑date assessment of these developments and discuss their implications for vulnerable low‑ and middle‑income countries. A second panel of senior representatives from governments, international organizations, and the private sector, who will reflect on how they are addressing the immediate effects of the crisis and share perspectives on priorities for strengthening resilience and improving risk management strategies going forward. An opportunity for questions, comments, and discussion.

The Supreme Court of the United States has clipped the power of the executive branch in ruling that President Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs was illegal. The decision is leading thousands of companies to seek refunds, and threatening to upend trade agreements the U.S. previously struck with countries seeking lower rates. Meanwhile, the administration is vowing to implement new tariffs using different legal statutes.Just how much does this ruling curb the will of the president? Will businesses and households get refunds? And what's in store for the future of global trade?Join The Sidley Podcast host and Sidley partner, Sam Gandhi, as he speaks with two of the firm's thought leaders on these issues — Ted Murphy, co-leader of Sidley's Global Arbitration, Trade, and Advocacy practice, and Kwaku Akowuah, co-leader of the firm's Supreme Court, Appellate, and Litigation Strategies practice.

"Salt water reverberations and soundscapes are a daily and necessary embodied element of my life by and on the Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara, Southern California. As a woman from Britain living in SoCal, I connect with the sea caves sounds in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall, England, being soothed and inspired by the rhythms, pitches, textures, and timbres of water drops, accompanied by the constant roar outside the sea caves.  "With Cornish marine sounds I have added my daily ocean soundscapes: slaps of waves on my coastal rowing boat; sea lions barking on bell buoy (slightly muted by the bodies of sea lions bodies) marking the safe harbor entrance; a train on the nearby shore; little Ourn, a homemade 18-foot wooden sailing boat built in 1931 by a 15-year old lad from Eling, Southampton, England, splashing through the waves at 5 knots in the Pacific Ocean near Santa Barbara (and low-tech wind sounds without a wind screen to reminder listeners that sail boats by necessity play with wind power).  "Perhaps these aquatic reverberations can offer some solace and connection with salt water surroundings; and senses of stewardship for protection and conservation of water lives." Sea cave at Mawgan Porth reimagined by Ruth Hellier.
