SUMMARY: With three shows closing, high prices at casinos, some undesired political discourse, and a quick discussion about water rights, this is the most Vegas-centric show we've had for quite some time. Also, Matt walks by a makeup counter and a Scoopardy.
Growing up in San Rafael in the 80's and 90's, writer David Perlis sensed that he had just missed something incredible. “I wanted to know what happened here before I was born,” he writes. That kicked off a quest to uncover Marin County's “seismic cultural awakening” throughout the midcentury that he chronicles in his new book “Morning in Marin: Zen, Drugs, and Ewoks on the California Coast.” Perlis argues that what emerged from “the Marinaissance” was adopted by popular culture across America — yet its influence has been overlooked. We talk to Perlis about the long reach of Marin's cultural influence and the legendary artists and thought leaders who found refuge there, including Alan Watts, Robin Williams, Anna Halprin, George Lucas and many more. Guest: David Perlis, writer, musician, filmmaker and author, “Morning in Marin: Zen, Drugs, and Ewoks on the California Coast” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Dean Lorey.Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Dean Lorey. Dean is a screenwriter for such films as 'Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday' (Friday the 13th part 9), and 'Major Payne' as well as TV shows 'Arrested Development' & 'The Crazy Ones'. He has also been the show runner for shows like 'Harley Quinn' the animated series, 'Kite Man: Hell Yeah!', and 'Creature Commandos'. In this episode, Dean and I chat about how he got into screenwriting, and he shares some of his experiences on his early projects. Naturally we discuss how he came to write 'Fitness Confidential' with Vinnie Tortorich and Dean shares some hilarious Vinnie stories. Then we each share our own personal stories of the moment that we each found out that we are bald. Next, we jump into Dean's experiences writing the Damon Wayans vehicle 'Major Payne' and a possible upcoming sequel. Then, we talk about the television show 'The Crazy Ones' and what it was like to meet and work with an American icon like Robin Williams. I ask a ton of questions about how Dean was able to juggle working on FOUR shows at the same time. Dean was working on: 'Harley Quinn', 'Kite Man', 'Creature Commandos', and 'Poppa's House' all at the same time! Finally, we close out the show discussing Dean's involvement with the television show 'Arrested Development' in the later seasons, one thing we did not talk about this time, is Dean's 'ONE THING' series of videos on Instagram, where he discusses 'One Thing' he learned while making TV & film projects. Definitely go check out this new and fun series on Dean's Instagram account. It will be worth the watch, I promise!
Matt and Eric kick off a 5-week Ethan Hawke run by carpe'ing the f'n diem out of 1989's DEAD POETS SOCIETY - starring Hawke as a shy, insecure lad who's inspired by Robin Williams' zany (kind-of-irresponsible) prep school poetry teacher.
This week in the Screening Room, Zeth is breaking down Terry Gilliam’s 1991 film The Fisher King, starring Robin Williams, Jeff Bridges, Mercedes Ruehl, and Amanda Plummer. Plus we make a mixtape inspired by the film with songs by Simon & Garfunkel, The Smiths, Queens of the Stone Age, and more.

Hump Day arrives with a surprise nobody saw coming—especially King Scott, who walked into what he thought was another perfectly normal Hubbard Radio meeting and instead found a full-blown baby shower waiting for him. Balloons? Check. Barbecue? Absolutely. Enough diapers to make every parent in the room experience a traumatic flashback? You bet. Lern deserves special recognition for successfully stalling King Scott by basically throwing every conversational emergency she could think of at him until the surprise was ready. Nothing suspicious about suddenly needing to discuss your entire medical history and possibly the Old Testament inside a radio booth.Then Rafe reports back from Outlaw Music Festival, where his long-running mission to get aboard Willie Nelson's tour bus once again encountered the minor obstacle of Willie Nelson being protected like the President of Texas. Rafe breaks down the impressive lineup, including Stephen Wilson Jr., Things somehow get more uncomfortable when Rizz shares some old high-school gossip involving a former student eventually dating one of her former teachers. That launches a much bigger conversation about age differences, authority, small-town dating pools and exactly how long after graduation something stops being weird. Listener stories arrive to make everything substantially less comfortable. Mission accomplished.Meanwhile, Walmart drone deliveries are heading toward parts of the St. Louis area, and Maplewood residents have questions about noise, birds, hacking, air traffic and whether Grandma really needs groceries descending from the heavens. There's also concern over the future of a historic Webster Groves theater, plus the incredible story of a mystery semi driver who stopped a van traveling the wrong way on I-70 and then apparently returned to his truck without waiting around for a parade. Finally, the crew discovers which car brand has some of the worst drivers, and BMW owners—including people conveniently sitting inside the studio—are forced to absorb a statistically assisted roasting involving turn signals, hair transplants, crypto and enough stereotypes to void the warranty.Rizz and Moon embracing their new identities as BMW owners ahead of a BMW-sponsored golf tournament. Surely the logo on the hood counts as a parking credential, right? Lern attempts to explain concepts like “parking passes” and “hang tags,” but luxury has changed these men. They've seen the badge. They know what they're worth now.A woman new to Missouri is stunned by the accessibility of alcohol and recreational weed, which sends the crew down a rabbit hole of grocery-store liquor laws across America. Apparently some states still make you visit a separate store to purchase booze. We assume residents there spend their evenings staring sadly toward Missouri and wondering where freedom went wrong.A leaked video of former Detroit news anchor Taryn Asher berating a colleague launches a debate over losing your temper at work, professionalism, double standards and whether one meltdown should define somebody's career. Naturally, this means revisiting some of broadcasting and Hollywood's most legendary freak-outs.The crew debates whether these blowups are understandable high-pressure moments or just adults being terrible to coworkers. Lern also shares her own battles against studio technology, proving once again that the greatest threat to morning radio isn't declining attention spans—it's a computer deciding at 5 a.m. that today feels like a good day to die.Then Crap on Celebrities arrives with some genuinely sad rock news: longtime ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard has died at 77. The crew looks back at the band's massive career, their unmistakable Texas blues-rock sound, their MTV-era reinvention and the scientific fact that putting on a ZZ Top song makes you approximately 34% more likely to feel capable of winning a bar fight.Nick Jonas revealing that he completely bombed his audition for Frozen after arriving unprepared, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan expanding his Arizona empire with a sushi restaurant and apparently carrying the same pair of traveling chopsticks for decades, updates surrounding Tupac's murder trial, new Queens of the Stone Age music, and the planned return of Ozzfest.The celebrity pile continues with Robin Williams' children fighting AI-generated impersonations of their father and reactivating his official Instagram account as a source for authentic material. The crew also looks ahead to Dune: Part Three sharing a release weekend with Avengers: Doomsday, because movie theaters apparently decided December needed its own traffic apocalypse.Some teachers have reading corners. Some have quiet corners. One brave educator looked at her classroom and decided what these children really needed was a designated fart corner.The concept is simple: if a kid needs to let one rip, they walk over to a specific corner of the classroom, handle their business, spray a little air freshener and quietly return to their seat while supposedly “nobody pays attention.”Thankfully, St. Louis Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to restore professionalism.That launches a full discussion about helicopter parenting, college move-in season and parents asking Facebook whether their 18-year-old should wear a robe or a towel back from the dorm shower. Chris and Moon agree on a revolutionary parenting strategy: sometimes your adult child can figure stuff out.Rizz is preparing to take his 16-year-old to tour the University of Arkansas, so Kerber offers actual useful advice among the chaos: check out the dorms, investigate the dining options and pay attention to whether the campus simply feels right.The hockey talk continues with the newly unveiled St. Louis Blues promotional calendar, including the upcoming Rizz Show Night jacket, which might legitimately be one of the best giveaways the show has done. Kerber breaks down the limited nature of theme-night tickets, the upcoming shortened NHL preseason and the excitement building around the new season.A former escort and sugar baby writes in after hearing the crew's previous conversations about dating for money and offers to answer their questions. Naturally, the room immediately generates approximately 700 of them. How much money? What was off-limits? Was sex always involved? How do repeat arrangements end? When do you tell a serious partner about that part of your past? Did you feel safe? Did you pay taxes?Pasta enters the arena. Chocolate-chip cookies arrive, although Moon repeatedly describing his ideal cookie as “wet” and “sweaty” causes unnecessary suffering. Lern chooses cake. Rafe starts negotiating the definition of pasta. Donuts make a late push. Rizz eventually lands on pizza.The rules get debated harder than most federal legislation before the conversation arrives at the true battleground: National Potato Day.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Maplewood and St. Charles hear Walmart drone delivery pitchTrucker hailed as hero after I-70 wrong-way scareBest and Worst Drivers by Brand: 2026 ReportDetroit TV anchor caught on video calling her boss a ‘bitch' in profanity-laced newsroom blowupCould Lettuce Make Plant-Based Meat Taste More Like the Real Thing?

Welcome to Missouri, where the booze is conveniently located, the dispensaries are plentiful, and buying a car on Sunday is apparently where society decided to establish some boundaries.Episode 41 kicks off with Rizz and Moon embracing their new identities as BMW owners ahead of a BMW-sponsored golf tournament. Surely the logo on the hood counts as a parking credential, right? Lern attempts to explain concepts like “parking passes” and “hang tags,” but luxury has changed these men. They've seen the badge. They know what they're worth now.From there, this comedy podcast investigates what outsiders notice when they first arrive in Missouri. Is it the rolling green landscape? The hills? The beautiful scenery? Nope. It's the ability to walk into a grocery store and buy hard liquor like a civilized Midwesterner.A woman new to Missouri is stunned by the accessibility of alcohol and recreational weed, which sends the crew down a rabbit hole of grocery-store liquor laws across America. Apparently some states still make you visit a separate store to purchase booze. We assume residents there spend their evenings staring sadly toward Missouri and wondering where freedom went wrong.But Missouri has its limits.You can buy liquor. You can visit a dispensary. You can apparently grab a tall boy at a gas station with concerning ease. But if you want to purchase a car on Sunday? Absolutely not, you lawless animal.The discovery of Missouri's “blue law” leads to another revelation: Lern and Rafe enjoy wandering dealership lots on Sundays specifically because the salespeople aren't there. Rizz finds this behavior completely alien because, according to Rizz, he loves human interaction. Moon immediately requests that the program stop lying to its audience.Then it's time for workplace rage.A leaked video of former Detroit news anchor Taryn Asher berating a colleague launches a debate over losing your temper at work, professionalism, double standards and whether one meltdown should define somebody's career. Naturally, this means revisiting some of broadcasting and Hollywood's most legendary freak-outs.Chris Berman gets angry. Christian Bale goes nuclear. Bill O'Reilly encounters the phrase “to play us out” and briefly enters another dimension.The crew debates whether these blowups are understandable high-pressure moments or just adults being terrible to coworkers. Lern also shares her own battles against studio technology, proving once again that the greatest threat to morning radio isn't declining attention spans—it's a computer deciding at 5 a.m. that today feels like a good day to die.Then Crap on Celebrities arrives with some genuinely sad rock news: longtime ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard has died at 77. The crew looks back at the band's massive career, their unmistakable Texas blues-rock sound, their MTV-era reinvention and the scientific fact that putting on a ZZ Top song makes you approximately 34% more likely to feel capable of winning a bar fight.It also raises an important question nobody else was brave enough to investigate: Has anyone ever seen ZZ Top wearing shorts?The comedy podcast rolls deeper into entertainment chaos with Nick Jonas revealing that he completely bombed his audition for Frozen after arriving unprepared, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan expanding his Arizona empire with a sushi restaurant and apparently carrying the same pair of traveling chopsticks for decades, updates surrounding Tupac's murder trial, new Queens of the Stone Age music, and the planned return of Ozzfest.The celebrity pile continues with Robin Williams' children fighting AI-generated impersonations of their father and reactivating his official Instagram account as a source for authentic material. The crew also looks ahead to Dune: Part Three sharing a release weekend with Avengers: Doomsday, because movie theaters apparently decided December needed its own traffic apocalypse.David Krumholtz says he's stepping away from acting after more than 30 years in Hollywood, which leads everyone into the great “I know that guy!” exercise before the conversation turns toward the tiny club of movies that have crossed $1 billion worldwide.That becomes a game of guessing the biggest box-office monsters before pivoting into actors whose careers were revived by one huge role: John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man, Keanu Reeves in John Wick, Brendan Fraser in The Whale, Bruce Willis in Die Hard and more.By the end, we've covered BMW privilege, Missouri liquor laws, empty car dealerships, workplace tantrums, ZZ Top, celebrity news, AI, Dune, billion-dollar movies and celebrity birthdays.And just when you think the show has reached the absolute peak of intellectual discourse, Rizz teases what's coming next:A school has a fart corner.Education is healing.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Robin Williams’ manic mind moved at such a breakneck speed that cocaine had the opposite effect than it had on most other people: it slowed him down. Robin’s primary addiction, however, wasn’t cocaine. He was addicted to the dopamine rush of being on a stage, where he could let his mind run wild with free association, and be rewarded with uproarious laughter. He was addicted to proving himself as a dramatic actor, even if that meant attempting to trigger his own mental breakdown by running in place for hours. And when he died tragically at the age of 63, the cause of his death was surprisingly not what anyone suspected. It still isn’t. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including suicide. If you're thinking about suicide or are worried about a friend or loved one, call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to Cannabis School! This week's Sesh begins with Brandon discovering that his mom shared the podcast with someone who recently started working in human resources for a cannabis retailer.Apparently, Cannabis School is becoming an unexpected educational resource—which is exciting and slightly terrifying when you remember how quickly these conversations can leave the classroom.Brandon and Jesse settle into the session with a custom cannabis combination: Novarine by Find Cannabis mixed with Black Triangle. The vapor feels dry on the throat, but the combination produces a strong, relaxing experience that the guys decide to call Deep Diver.The conversation takes a serious turn as Brandon and Jesse discuss trauma, survival responses, personal growth, and the different ways people process difficult experiences. They talk about compassion, observation, professional therapy, and why healing does not follow a universal schedule.From there, the discussion moves into tall tales, invented identities, military stories, and the possibility that some people create elaborate versions of themselves to protect—or escape—the person underneath.Once the Deep Diver combination fully arrives, the Sesh becomes considerably less focused. The guys revisit Robin Williams' unpredictable comedy, discuss common misconceptions about stimulant drugs, and share cautionary stories about past substance use and poor decisions.Jesse recalls an early-2000s experience involving friends, an old manual Honda Civic, one enormous mistake, and a very close encounter with a fire hydrant. It is a funny story in hindsight, but also a clear example of how quickly impaired decisions can become dangerous.This is a classic Cannabis School Sesh: thoughtful, personal, funny, occasionally uncomfortable, and intended for mature audiences.In this episode:• Brandon's mom shares Cannabis School• Cannabis education in an unexpected workplace• Trauma, survival responses, and healing• EMDR and professional mental-health support• Tall tales and invented identities• Mixing Novarine with Black Triangle• The Deep Diver cannabis combination• Remembering Robin Williams• Misconceptions about stimulant drugs• Jesse's cautionary stories about past substance use• An old Honda Civic and a very close call• Why the Storz & Bickel Volcano remains a show favorite Chapters:00:16 Brandon's mom shares Cannabis School02:00 A serious conversation about trauma05:25 Different responses to difficult experiences09:37 Healing does not follow a schedule10:18 EMDR and processing the past11:18 Tall tales and invented identities20:15 Novarine mixed with Black Triangle20:48 The Deep Diver combination arrives21:21 Remembering Robin Williams23:40 Comedy and substance-use stories26:18 Clearing up stimulant misconceptions28:04 Jesse's early-2000s story31:39 The runaway Honda Civic33:14 A close call with the parents38:04 The Storz & Bickel Volcano This episode contains mature discussions about trauma and past substance use. The stories are shared for conversation, education, and harm awareness—not to encourage dangerous or illegal behavior. For mental-health or substance-use concerns, seek support from a qualified professional.Cannabis affects everyone differently. Follow local laws, consume responsibly, and start low and go slow.The Sesh: Trauma, Tall Tales & the Deep Diver Combo

Just a year after he received his first two Oscar nominations for both starring in and directing Henry V, Oscar-winner writer/director Kenneth Branagh (Belfast, Thor, Murder on the Orient Express) directed and starred in this dazzling modern reinvention of the sort of suspense thrillers which Alfred Hitchcock had specialized in several decades prior. The story focuses on a mysterious woman (Oscar-winner Emma Thompson) who has lost her memory, the private detective (Branagh) who has been tasked with helping her find out her memory, and.....how this mystery connects to the tragic passings in the 1940's of Roman and Margaret Strauss (Branagh, Thompson), a composer and musician who fell in love. What results is passion and danger for all involved! Also co-starring Andy Garcia, Derek Jacobi, Wayne Knight, and Robin Williams, this twisty and time-bending tale of love and loss remains an almost forgotten gem from thirty-five years ago.Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
Robin Williams plays... well... a slightly grumpy man... in Brooklyn. After being given only 90 minutes left to live, Robin goes all over Brooklyn trying to make amends with all of the people he wronged in his life.
This week, we bounce from questionable kindergarten teaching techniques and a tour through old movies to a pile of upcoming sci-fi and superhero projects. Then, in Future or Now, AI gives hurricane forecasters a potentially huge advantage, NASA pulls off another bit of engineering wizardry to keep Voyager 2 alive, and the cast of The Pitt boldly goes where plenty of actors have gone before. Real Life Steven is officially over summer. Heat, summer schedules, summer in general—it's time to move on. Meanwhile, Ben has been watching OLD MOVIES, including Kindergarten Cop. Ben calls it an "exceptional film," but watching Arnold Schwarzenegger take control of a classroom in 2026 raises some questions. How would Detective John Kimble's teaching methods stack up against modern school employee safety training? How many policies would he violate before lunch? And perhaps most unsettling: just how old are all those kindergarteners today? That sends us down the inevitable road of examining an old movie through the lens of people who now have entirely too much experience with how schools actually operate. Steven also has a pile of upcoming genre television and movie news to talk about. Neuromancer is headed to Apple TV, while Blade Runner 2099 is coming as a limited series on Prime Video. San Diego Comic-Con also brought news about Ghost Rider and Black Panther 3, along with more X-Men casting news involving Cyclops, Emma Frost, Beast, and Professor X. Trailer Links: Neuromancer: Watch on YouTube Blade Runner 2099: Watch on YouTube Devon has been doing some family movie watching, working through the Jumanji movies and eventually arriving at Zathura. Technically part of the larger Jumanji family, Zathura doesn't quite live up to its predecessor. It doesn't help that Dax Shepard's character has to exist in the shadow of Robin Williams, which leads to the assessment that Shepard comes across as "a block of wood" by comparison. Things get considerably darker with The Long Walk, based on Stephen King's novel originally published under his Richard Bachman pseudonym. Devon found the adaptation interesting and well done—but extremely bleak. That conversation somehow takes a detour through Time Runner before eventually landing on Hokum and its supernatural layer. Future or Now AI Gets Better at Predicting Hurricanes Ben brings us a potentially enormous development in weather forecasting. Google DeepMind's WeatherNext AI system has demonstrated an ability to improve hurricane forecasts, potentially giving forecasters and emergency planners an additional day of warning. The system predicts both storm tracks and intensity and can rapidly generate thousands of possible scenarios. During Hurricane Melissa, it reportedly identified major intensification earlier than conventional forecasting models. That's potentially life-saving extra time for communities preparing for a major storm. But there's an interesting wrinkle: like many sophisticated AI systems, exactly how the model reaches some of its conclusions isn't always clear to the scientists using it. That makes WeatherNext another fascinating example of AI producing useful results while simultaneously raising questions about how much we need to understand a system before we're comfortable relying on it. And despite the improvement in modeling, humans aren't leaving the process. Meteorologists still have to interpret the information, communicate uncertainty, and turn forecasts into useful warnings for the public. Read the Ars Technica report on DeepMind's hurricane forecasting breakthrough This Week in Space: Voyager's "Big Bang" Nearly half a century after leaving Earth, Voyager 2 is still going, and NASA engineers are once again finding creative ways to keep it alive. In an operation nicknamed the "Big Bang," engineers simultaneously shut down power-hungry hardware and transitioned to lower-power alternatives while carefully keeping the spacecraft warm enough to survive. Voyager's dwindling power supply has forced NASA to make increasingly difficult decisions about which systems can remain operational, making every additional bit of usable energy precious. It's another remarkable chapter in a mission launched in 1977 that is still returning scientific data from interstellar space. Read more about the Voyager 2 operation at ScienceDaily Explore NASA's Voyager mission And while we're talking about space, we check back in on New Asgard and ask the important question: is Devon still going to space? The Pitt Goes to Star Trek Finally, there's an unusual crossover coming for fans of The Pitt and Star Trek. Noah Wyle and members of The Pitt cast are participating in a Star Trek table read benefiting the Writers Guild Foundation. It's not a new Trek series and it's not some bizarre medical-drama crossover episode—but it is an opportunity to hear a completely different cast tackle Star Trek material while supporting the foundation's programs. Read more about The Pitt cast's Star Trek table read at TrekMovie From aging action comedies to AI-powered hurricane forecasts and a spacecraft that refuses to die, this week is a reminder that the future has a funny way of colliding with the past. Join us next time for more science, sci-fi, and whatever unexpected detours we stumble into along the way.

The Bay Area comedy scene has given us many gifts: A robust improv ecosystem fostered sketch comedy for a national stage, and nurtured stand up comedians for generations, from Robin Williams to Ali Wong. Our area is blessed with a rich and diverse comedy scene, and it can be a lot to keep track of.To help folks get a feel for that scene, KALW recently hosted a group of local comedians at our Live Events Space in downtown San Francisco. Elizabeth Truong is an intern with us. She was there and has this report on their conversation.

Today is the anniversary of the death of Robin Williams, who died by suicide in 2014. Starring in films like Aladdin, Dead Poets Society, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Good Morning Vietnam, his voice was woven into the cultural memory for millions. Tragically, the man who brought laughter to so many could not overcome his own tears. Marcus has more.

In this first episode of "You Could Make This Beautiful," actor Henry Winkler tells hosts Maggie Smith and Faith Salie about the poetry he's found in everything from fly fishing, to the music of Lin-Manuel Miranda, to the acting performances of the late Robin Williams. Poet and teacher Saeed Jones declares that "Nobody loves us the way poetry loves us," he reads us one of his poems, and he talks about the chemical reaction that poems set off in our brains and bodies. And Maggie and Faith offer a "poetry prescription" to a fan of theirs in Ohio who's seeking steadiness in her life. Show Notes (in chronological order): "I'm Nobody! Who are you?" by Emily Dickinson "Good Bones" by Maggie Smith "Parent Effectiveness Training" by Dr. Thomas Gordon Henry Winkler's "Launce and the dog" monologue from William Shakespeare's "Two Gentlemen of Verona" "My Shot" from the musical Hamilton Henry Winkler's novels with Lin Oliver "Alive at the End of the World" by Saeed Jones "Snow for Wallace Stevens" by Terence Hayes "Black in Blues" by Imani Perry "Scorched Earth" by Tiana Clark "Tell Me" by Kim Addonizio "Blood Dazzler" by Patricia Smith Poetry Prescriptions Maggie's prescriptions: "Thanks" by W.S.

Bicentennial Man was the 40th highest grossing movie of 1999, opening December 17th in 4th place and taking in $87 million dollars worldwide on an almost literally unbelievable $100 million dollar budget. It's also the one movie of the year to star the late Sam Neill. Directed by Chris Columbus with script by Elia Kazan's son Nicholas Kazan, based on the short story “The Bicentennial Man” AND the novel “The Positronic Man” by Isaac Asimov, with perhaps the most phoned-in score James Horner ever wrote, Bicentennial Man stars Robin Williams, Sam Neil, Embeth Davidtz, Wendy Crewson, Oliver Platt, Kiersten Warren, Hallie Eisenberg, John Michael Higgins, Bradley Whitford, Stephen Root, and noted January 6th Capitol Insurrectionist, Jay Johnston. This week, John and Julia talk "family films", uncanny valleys, Williams, and, of course, Sam Neill.
Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and interviews San Francisco Magic Theater magician and mentalist Jay Alexander, praising his five-star-reviewed show as an emotionally powerful, unifying experience. Jay describes himself as an “experience designer” focused on audience connection, presence, and psychological attention-direction rather than just tricks. He shares his origin story: inspired at 11 by Doug Henning, he overcame shyness, a speech impediment, and dyslexia by practicing magic, performing in his mother's shoe store, and building a career from $5 birthday parties to corporate events, NBA halftime shows, and work with The Rolling Stones and Robin Williams. He discusses vulnerability after a TED Talk, studying Paul Ekman and mnemonic systems, how memory reshapes events, and offers communication tips like open body language. They touch on his art incorporating phone-triggered videos, living on a Sausalito houseboat, collaboration with partner Heather, theater-owner peer calls begun during COVID, and his closing insight that curiosity can improve society.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:28 Meet Jay Alexander02:14 Designing the Experience05:05 Origin Story Begins06:31 Magic Spark at Eleven08:22 Overcoming Dyslexia09:54 First Paid Performances13:31 Vulnerability and Purpose17:51 Crafting Tiny Moments20:10 Misdirection Psychology23:13 Stage Presence Tips25:01 Live Mentalism Demo26:10 Mixing Magic and Lies27:01 Eckman and Memory Systems28:31 Memory Is Rewritten29:14 Ceiling Card Memories31:18 Repeat Shows Feel New32:50 Magic Brings Unity35:55 Stadium Connection Tricks39:49 Designing Lasting Feelings40:39 Where Ideas Are Born41:42 Interactive Art Experiments43:17 Houseboat Creative Life45:03 Heather As Muse45:39 Handling Hecklers Gently47:42 Being Fooled And Wonder49:54 Magic Meets Science50:44 Change Blindness Gorilla51:52 Magicians Helping Magicians54:43 Final Question CuriosityHelpful Links:The San Francisco Magic TheaterJay AlexanderJay Alexander FacebookJay Alexander LinkedInJay Alexander YouTube
What can live radio offer that an algorithm never will? I talk with WNCW radio host and Southern Songs and Stories creator Joe Kendrick about music discovery, public radio, human connection, and the changing music industry. Joe shares how childhood mixtapes led to more than 30 years at WNCW, where live DJs help listeners find new artists while reflecting the communities they serve. We also explore emergency broadcasting, vinyl records, streaming royalties, podcasting, bluegrass history, and why supporting artists and public media still matters. I believe you will enjoy Joe's stories and his clear reminder that technology can offer endless choice, but it cannot replace a trusted human voice. Highlights: 01:23 – How a small-town childhood shaped Joe's curiosity. 04:29 – How radio and mixtapes sparked his love of music. 17:49 – Why live radio creates a stronger human connection. 22:28 – How public radio supports people during crises. 31:16 – Why public radio still matters to communities. 41:38 – How streaming affects artists and music value. About the Guest: Fascinated by radio at an early age, I was having “driveway” moments by grade school, or at least moments when I wished my parents would let the song play out before cutting off the engine. My father's turntable, with its enchanting cue lamp shining on the platter's pattern of dots indicating whether it was at the correct speed, was like a lighthouse beckoning me to a land filled with yet-to-be discovered, electrified bliss. I was also enamored of stars on television, including sportscasters and newscasters, taking on their persona to call an imagined NASCAR race on a portable cassette recorder for example, and imitating Robin Williams in front of my fourth-grade class. By middle school, I got my first jam box and was off to the races with mix tapes, recording songs straight off the radio, my favorite study aid. I was keenly interested in not only the music on the radio but also how the DJs presented it, and would call in to make requests or to ask why they kept playing the Guns N' Roses songs I did not like. I started collecting music, primarily though tape clubs like Columbia House. I read Rolling Stone and wrote to the editor to disagree with a David Fricke review of Jimmy Page's album Outrider. By college, I was determined to become a DJ, the coolest job on the planet. At UNC-Chapel Hill, WXYC beckoned, and after trying and failing to get on staff (the screening process was quite challenging, filled with questions about music I had never heard of on commercial radio or in print), I landed there in my junior year. There, my musical horizons expanded beyond where I could have imagined when transfixed by that vintage Technics turntable spinning Queen's News of the World a few years before. There was more, of course, like college basketball (asking Dean Smith a question about how he coached his teams to shoot free throws so well at a student forum was likely my first brush with greatness), and a budding instinct to make sense of the world via the written word. Journalism school (specifically advertising) and hand-written album reviews at WXYC were early outlets. During and after college, there was also the occasional short story or essay, along with a few features on other passions like mountain biking, and more music reviews to write for zines and entertainment weeklies. Writing and radio remained an avocation for the next fifteen years, with a notable stretch of ten years as a franchise owner in the landscape lighting business dominating my resume before selling that and becoming full time morning host at public radio WNCW in 2006, where I had been volunteering following college before working part-time in the early 2000s. In the mid-1990s, I moved into the old family homestead, which my great-grandparents begun in the 1880s. I got married and had kids, and learned about being a husband and father, as well as how to take up the mantle of family legacy. Two ancestors who became more and more important in this legacy are Earl Scruggs (see: banjo) and W.J. Cash, author of The Mind of the South. Fast forward to 2014, and the concept for Southern Songs and Stories had taken firm root, after previous music-oriented endeavors Lingua Musica and What It Is had run their courses. As a video documentary series before lack of funds cut it short at two episodes, it became obvious that my ambitions outstripped my means, and making it a podcast was the way to go. DIY, y'all. Southern Songs and Stories is primarily a music artist-focused series, with interviews, music excerpts, and commentary. The concept of elision is my north star: I edit conversations to fit for length (typically a half hour each episode, currently) and for the overarching statements that each episode should make. Marrying concepts and focusing on the intersection of ideas is typically my goal, along with the foundational work of highlighting engaging conversations and music. My hope is to bring in casual fans and die-hards alike: whether you know anything about artist X, Y or Z, I aim to pull you into their world within the first three minutes and keep you engaged there for the remainder of each podcast. I also love working with a chain saw and making campfires, but that conversation can wait until we might connect later on. Ways to connect with Joe**:** WNCW https://www.wncw.org/people/joe-kendrick-1 Southern Songs and Stories: https://www.southernsongsandstories.com/ Because WNCW is an NPR station, I have gotten involved with many projects there. For example, I was featured for a week during The World Café's “Sense Of Place” series when they came to Asheville, NC in 2016. I produced videos in their Night Owl series which they posted on their Facebook for a while.

In this episode, Bart speaks with Rabih El Khodr, author of The Way Out of Burnout, about what burnout really is, how to recognize it, and what it takes to overcome it. Drawing on research in psychology and neuroscience as well as his own personal experiences, Rabih challenges the conventional view that burnout is the result of working too hard, arguing instead that it often stems from the gap between our authentic selves and the roles we feel we need to play at work. Central to his work is the idea that burnout begins when we start following survival scripts, a concept he pairs with his F.L.O.W. Framework, a practical approach to identifying and changing the patterns that contribute to burnout. The conversation also offers valuable insights for leaders on how to spot burnout in their teams and support them before it becomes overwhelming. As the demands on leaders continue to intensify, Rabih's perspective offers a fresh approach to sustaining high performance without sacrificing oneself in the process.

Send us Fan MailA nickname you never wanted can become the thing that gets you booked, remembered, and introduced for the rest of your career. We sit down with Bay Area stand-up Larry “Bubbles” Brown to trace how a deadpan, low-key approach cut through a high-energy comedy scene and turned into decades of steady work. If you love stand-up comedy history, comedy club stories, and the behind-the-scenes reality of being a road comic, this one is packed with the kind of details you only get from people who were actually there. We talk about Larry's early days at Laughs Unlimited, the specific weeks and lineups he still remembers, and the comics who made the learning curve feel survivable. Larry tells the true story of how Paula Poundstone coined “Bubbles,” why he resisted it, and why it ultimately helped. From there we get into longevity, including Larry's rare record of returning to the David Letterman show more than two decades after his first appearance, and what it really takes to keep a stand-up career alive year after year. Then the conversation opens up into classic road-gig chaos: a week in a condo where the Governor of California is literally next door, the strange pressures of constant travel, and even a bomb threat called into a club with the timing aimed right at stage time. We also revisit the San Francisco comedy boom, with stories that include Dana Carvey's first open mic shock and Robin Williams' reputation for supporting other comics. After the chat, we roll into a full Larry Bubbles Brown stand-up set with sharp jokes on sex, depression, marriage, aging, and politics.

Today's episode somehow begins with one of the creepiest news stories imaginable and somehow gets even weirder from there. A Massachusetts mime allegedly spent months terrifying people at a park before stripping down, coating himself in cooking oil, and breaking into an outdoor workout. Naturally, this leads the crew into an unexpectedly deep conversation about clown culture, why mimes are unsettling, irrational fears, comedy trends, and whether anyone should ever trust someone silently making eye contact from across a hiking trail.From there, everything immediately goes off the rails—as it usually does.The crew debates whether mimes actually count as clowns, why Robin Williams somehow enters the conversation, and whether cooking oil selection says something about your personality. There are plenty of sarcastic detours, plenty of roasting, and exactly zero useful life advice.Then it's time for another unforgettable round of Match Up with Moon.This may be one of the toughest trivia rounds yet. Titanic. Garlic. Wonder Woman. Norman Rockwell. The Saturday Evening Post. MBA degrees. Somehow everyone knows just enough to be confidently wrong while simultaneously making each other laugh even harder. Moon questions every answer he's ever known, Riz battles to break a losing streak, and King Scott's trivia wording creates just enough chaos to spark an all-time debate over the tiebreaker.It's everything you expect from a daily comedy podcast—friends arguing over facts that probably won't improve your life while making your commute dramatically more entertaining.If you enjoy weird news, hilarious conversations, sarcastic humor, ridiculous games, pop culture commentary, celebrity gossip, and a cast that's never afraid to roast each other (or themselves), you've found your people. Whether you've been listening for years or you're discovering the crew for the first time, this episode delivers exactly the unpredictable energy that keeps listeners coming back.This daily comedy show continues proving that the funniest moments are usually the completely unexpected ones. One minute you're learning about the psychology of clown fears, the next you're debating garlic nicknames, and before you know it everyone is arguing over magazine circulation numbers like it's the biggest issue in America.That's just another morning with The Rizzuto Show.If this episode made you laugh, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who appreciates bizarre headlines, ridiculous trivia, and unapologetically sarcastic humor.

It's time to curl up by the campfire for another Ghoul Scouts edition of The Fear of God!This week, our intrepid scouts Vera Goudie, Jess Fischli, and Jocee Worley continue their journey through childhood fears by tackling a film as adventurous as it is terrifying. 1995's JUMANJI was a thrilling action comedy about a board game with magical consequences. It featured the incomparable Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt (alongside a young Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce) as two childhood friends whose lives were devastated by the game's unexpected dynamics. When a chance to finish the game and end the chaos for good emerges, they realize that finishing might just cost them everything.Jumanji had a unique blend of thrills, suspense, humor, and heart. It also featured some disarming observations about family and friendship and the power of our personal choices. The Ghoul Scouts unpack all of this and more in a fast-paced and thoughtful discussion we really think you'll enjoy!Patron Only Segment: Favorite Childhood Board Games5:20 - JUMANJISee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
