Podcasts about Robin Williams

In recognition of Men's Mental Health Month, I offer this not as a diagnosis but as a mirror—a reflection—of one man's honest reckoning with what it really means to “be a man” in a world that rewards our silence and buries our truth. Every June, we remember the tragic loss of great men—Robin Williams, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Anthony Bourdain. Men who made us laugh, think, feel… and then left us too soon. These weren't weak men. They were men crushed by the quiet torment of expectations they could no longer uphold. And the silence that made it impossible to ask for help. So let me say something that might cost me the stamp of being a “real man” in the eyes of some: Hi. My name is JC Doornick, and I get scared about many things. I know some will read that and think I've betrayed the code. That I've "outed the brotherhood." But I'm tired of pretending. I'm tired of losing men I love to silence. To pride. To pressure. To shame. And if sharing my truth helps even one man remove the mask, it's worth it. Because here's the truth: Being a man today is a zero-sum game.   Episode 97 Resources: Under Saturns Shadow by James Hollis  - https://amzn.to/3F4NvAP ►Follow Dr. JC Doornick and the Makes Sense Academy: Instagram: / drjcdoornick   Facebook:  / makessensepodcast   YouTube:  / drjcdoornick     MAKES SENSE PODCAST Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast: This podcast covers topics that expand human consciousness and performance.

We're off this week, lil onions, but we wanted to rerun an ep that fits right in with our summer coverage of Disney Renaissance animated films, featuring Carie's all time fave, Robin Williams! This week, Carie is offending Ross' OCD by choosing a Disney film, Aladdin (1992) despite previous intentions of grouping them together. Carie defends this choice by lauding the amazing performance of her fave, Robin Williams, as the genie. Ross gets frustrated with multiple plot elements that make less than perfect sense, even for a children's film. The siblings get back to the root cause of why the film traumatized Ross in the first place, and then of course the bonus treat of Ross' unsolicited rant about Disney remakes.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON (PLEASE?)

Hudson Valley Shakespeare rolls with the punchlines Highbrow and lowbrow collide as history and pop culture are run through a blender in the production of The Comedy of Errors at Hudson Valley Shakespeare. The play opens with a few notes of The Godfather theme, rewinds to the Big Band Era, then fast-forwards to 1950s rock 'n' roll. There's also a bawdy "Star-Spangled Banner" joke, another one associating "wee wee" with "yes yes" in French and three kick-line dance numbers. "That's the good thing about doing plays that have no copyright or family members alive - you can do anything you want," says director Ryan Quinn. Movement fuels the madcap mayhem: The opening scene unspools like a silent film that animates a long backstory monologue by Kurt Rhoads as Egeon. The actors sway on deck as their ship goes down, a segment choreographed by Susannah Millonzi and punctuated by Sean McNall running around in a gleaming-yellow fisherman's bucket hat. It's funny to watch Zach Fine as the servant Dromio of Syracuse get chased. Or just stand and make strange faces, eat popcorn and shake his legs. After Fine's scene-stealing appearance with the ribald French joke, national anthem quip and dose of Robin Williams, the audience on June 22 erupted with applause. Quinn added a dash of Guys and Dolls: the more menacing characters and two female roles deliver the Bard's words with faux Brooklyn accents. As Luciana, Helen Cespedes channels the renowned squeak of Adelaide from the 1950s play and Katie Hartke (Adriana) joins the fun as cases of mistaken identity erupt into chaos. The flaw to Shakespeare's logic is that each set of twins shares the same names. And, to keep the ruse going, they must be dressed in the same garb. Nonetheless, Luis Quintero (Antipholous of Syracuse), plays a low-key foil to Fine's Dromio as a happy-go-lucky chap who finds himself in maddening situations. As the other brother, Antipholous of Ephesus, Anand Nagraj presents a blustering blowhard who amalgamates the Wicked Wolf and Ralph Kramden when the hijinks get out of hand. The cast metes out more beatings than a Three Stooges film and Quinn leans into slap-schtick territory. At one point, cast members play-slap the entire audience and even the stage manager hurls water balloons at Antipholous of Ephesus. Tactful ad-libs, mostly from Cespedes, add to the playfulness and lack of pretense. One of Shakespeare's early works (circa 1594), with rhyming lines that sometimes flow like rap, The Comedy of Errors is funny not so much because of the words but in the situations. That means it's up to the actors to put it over. As written, the Dr. Pinch scene is staid, but McNall's manic depiction of an exorcism elicited howls of laughter. After arriving in what looks like a moon buggy with two white-coated helpers in glittering goggles, he gesticulates wildly and unleashes otherworldly noises. Holy water is splashed about like kindergartners in a kiddie pool. Beyond the funning and fighting, Quinn focuses on family. In one subtle, recurring gag, after the Syracusans are introduced, they walk up the hill behind the stage, and the servant Dromio tries to hold his master's hand but is swatted away. The gimmick occurs a few more times, but at the end, both Dromios in near-identical costumes clasp hands with vigor as they exit stage rear, reunited. And it feels so good. Hudson Valley Shakespeare is located at 2015 Route 9 in Philipstown. Tickets are $10 to $100 at hvshakespeare.org or at the door. The Comedy of Errors runs on select evenings through Aug. 2.

After a 16-year hiatus from major touring, Williams stormed the stage like a human cyclone. Was it improvised? Was it structured? This episode dives into whether the sheer volume of material and the relentless pace overshadowed the strength of the jokes themselves.

Some interviews take a while to drop in, and while the information might be supportive, the soul connection never occurs.  I was able to instantly drop in with Scott Grace, even having moments of silence, simply pure connected appreciation where there was nothing to do, nowhere to go... simply bask in pure presence and intimacy :-) And we laughed our faces off! I was in rapture as he continued to sing to me! In this high-frequency conversation, we also discussed... - How is it that he gives himself over to Spirit and is able to download lyrics that inspire people  - How Scott's songs can blast somebody's heart open on their birthdays or anniversaries, or inspire a huge crowd at a personal growth event - How the traditional educational path was not honoring of his genius, and how he bravely followed his knowing - How his understanding and embodiment of the Divine Masculine has shifted over the decades - How his Spiritual Dr Seuss video went viral, inspiring millions and confirming his gifts for this planet - How having your very own Affirmation song can be such an exquisite morning practice to greet the day in your power, joy, and freedom - And we got up to some multi-dimensional mischief, magic, live music, and dancing over on Patreon during the after-the-show episode... ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content! About Scott Grace:   Scott Grace, who has been described as a cross between John Denver, Robin Williams, and Dr. Seuss, is wanted by the authorities for creating peace, as well as defying the law of gravity with levity. Contact with Scott is likely to be hazardous to your misery, as he has provoked outbreaks of joy in four out of five laboratory humans. It is alleged that Scott's work has so threatened to cut into the sales of anti-depressants that pharmaceutical companies have offered him millions to retire.  Scott gives keynotes using a stolen identity, a.k.a. the Spiritual Dr. Seuss. His feel-good videos on YouTube have infected over 2.5 million people with just four of his Seussian videos. Scott has been known to practice life coaching without a license, eluding the police by working on Zoom. He fancies himself an intuitive channel who smuggles wisdom and guidance over the border from beings he calls spirit guides, who are also not licensed, and who have allegedly not filed a tax return in several lifetimes. As a front, Scott does do various legal, above-board activities. He has written four books, his latest being Mindful Masculinity. Scott also has recorded nine CDs (remember CDs?) of his original music and comedy. He presents as an inspirational guest speaker and singer at churches, non-profits, schools, and corporate events. As an occasional stand-up comedian in the Bay Area, he has shared the stage with Dana Carvey and Robin Williams.  But don't be fooled. His rampage of Song Portraits, custom-made, personalized song gifts that honor people for their birthdays, anniversaries, or for no reason at all, has been killing people softly with their song since 1987. Authorities would very much like your help in apprehending Scott.

In this conversation, Ben speaks with Robin Williams, Wendy Toribio-Baez, and Vanessa Bethea-Miller about the intersection of trauma-informed practices, behavior analysis, and parenting, particularly in the context of colonization and historical trauma. They explore how these factors influence parenting styles, the importance of self-reflection, and the need for cultural humility in practice. The discussion emphasizes the significance of understanding historical trauma and its impact on behavior, especially in at-risk youth, and the role of intersectionality in shaping experiences and identities. The speakers also highlight the importance of community support and ongoing education in addressing these complex issues.

Before RuPaul's Drag Race, there was The Birdcage—a 1996 comedy that gave us drag queens, dinner party disasters, and Robin Williams in a wifebeater. This week, Jackie and Danielle are joined by their fabulous pod pals Ajay and Jon from The Delicious Recap to relive the wigs, the scandals, and the iconic walk through South Beach. With Nathan Lane stealing every scene and Gene Hackman rocking a Barbara Bush cosplay, this film is both hilarious and historically queer.The gang dives into the movie's legacy, Robin and Nathan's casting switcheroo, and why Val might be the true villain of the story (spoiler: he needed therapy). From political hypocrisy to shrimp soup sabotage, this rewatch is as chaotic as Agador in loafers. It's heartfelt, it's hilarious, and yes, it's still got that We Are Family magic.·Season 5 Episode 10-—No More Late Fees ⁠https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com⁠909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefeesYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitterhttps://x.com/NoMoreLateFees —CONQUERing⁠⁠myconquering.com⁠⁠10% Off Code: JACKIE10—The Delicious RecapInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deliciousrecap/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@deliciousrecap

He starts complaining to Rammstein's "Du Hast" and trashes the place when the song gets heavy. Bobby and the listeners join in the "Midday Temper Tantrums!"

In this episode, Laura and Clayton sit down with Zak Pym Williams (mental health advocate, entrepreneur, and son of the late Robin Williams) for an honest conversation about trauma, healing, and holistic wellness. Zak opens up about his experience with grief following his father's death, and how it led to struggles with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and self-medication with alcohol. After hitting a breaking point, Zak turned to functional approaches to support his mental health. Inspired by his wife's success with amino acid therapy, he co-founded PYM (Prepare Your Mind), a company offering natural supplements like Mood Chews to support emotional well-being and neurotransmitter balance. Zak shares how tools like nutrition, mindfulness, and community became pillars of his mental hygiene practice, and how embracing a holistic, functional medicine approach helped him reclaim his life. It's a raw, inspiring look at transforming pain into purpose and finding new ways to support mental wellness. Learn more at youcanpym.com. Adapt Naturals: Code FUNC for 30% off at Adapt Naturals.

On this episode, we dive into the adaptation of the stage play of the same name with THE BIRDCAGE.  Gene Hackman plays a supporting role as a conservative senator opposite Robin Williams and Nathan Lane in this LGBTQ+ classic comedy.  Please send any and all feedback to anotherlookpod@gmail.com.  Please follw us on Instagram @anotherlookpod, and rate/review/subscribe where ever you get your podcasts.   Programming note: We recorded an episode as the finale of our Gene Hackman season on THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, but due to technical difficulties the audio didn't record.  So in considering what to do for our next season, we decided to cover the films of Wes Anderson for our next season.  We will cover THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS for this season with plenty more Hackman talk!

Grab the dice and watch out for monkeys, because we're diving headfirst into the stampede of sound, spectacle, and emotional storytelling that is Jumanji (1995). It's a jungle-in-a-box, people! Vines through the ceiling, carnivorous plants in the kitchen, and a board game that makes Monopoly look like a nap. Robin Williams swings in as a man-child with jungle PTSD, Bonnie Hunt brings the therapy and the sarcasm, and two traumatized kids have to survive a suburban safari of crocodiles, monsoons, and—you guessed it—giant freakin' mosquitoes. Roll those dice, face your fears, and join us as we crack open this wild '90s time capsule—because in Jumanji, the only way out… is through. Did you enjoy the episode?

If I could turn back time—exactly 36 years—it would be 1989!This episode was inspired by the 1989 monster hit by Cher. Yes, that Cher, who was 43 years old and leaving nothing to the imagination!As I've done in the past, we're going to dig into the music charts and major box office hits, along with a few newsworthy events from the last year of the '80s.The music charts featured a mix of hair metal ballads and classic rock bands enjoying a late-career resurgence, with alternative and pop also well represented. This was an era when New Kids on the Block, Chicago, Rick Astley, and Poison were all played back-to-back on the radio. Back then, radio was pretty great.The big movies boasted massive hits from directors like Spielberg, Burton, Donner, and Zemeckis. The stars were names like Ford, Keaton, Gibson, and Fox—big movies with big budgets. But non-action films also drew huge audiences, like Parenthood and Dead Poets Society. This was the era when Robin Williams was earning numerous Academy Award nominations.Plus, it's crazy to think that this was the year the Berlin Wall fell and the Tiananmen Square protests—and subsequent massacre—took place.Available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, and major streaming platforms.

The strongest brands are the ones with the most distinctive personalities. But even a weak and faded personality is better than none at all.A brand with a personality is an imaginary character in the minds of the customers of that brand. It is similar to the characters in syndicated television shows, bestselling novels, and big movie franchises.Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, and Robin Williams are actors, but they are also characters in your mind.Willie Nelson, Michael Jackson, and Taylor Swift are musicians. but they are also characters in your mind.Brands are like that.Two people are now going to tell us about books.Dear Person Reading This,A writer can fit a whole world inside a book. Really. You can go there. You can learn things while you are away. You can bring them back to the world you normally live in.You can look out of another person's eyes, think their thoughts, care about what they care about.You can fly. You can travel to the stars. You can be a monster or a wizard or a god. You can be a girl. You can be a boy. Books give you worlds of infinite possibility. All you have to do is be interested enough to read that first page…Somewhere, there is a book written just for you. It will fit in your mind like a glove fits your hand. And it's waiting.Go look for it.Neil GaimanA Velocity of Being, Letters to a Young Reader, p. 22Brands are like novels and movies and TV shows. Brands are like hit songs. Brands are like actors and musicians. Brands are like good books.Here is the second person.Dear Reader,When I was 12, I was given a scholarship to a private girl's school in the town where I lived. All the other girls came from another – wealthier – town. They were driven to school in Jaguars and Mercedes Benzes. They ate artichokes. No way would I ever fit in.In the midst of my funk, the English teacher assigned A Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers. As it happens, Frankie, the book's heroine, is also 12 and also wants to belong. Her yearning is such that she wants to know everyone in the world and for everyone to know her – exactly what I wanted!That's what stunned me, not just the intensity of the longing, but the specificity. It meant – it had to mean – there were other people in the world like me. Not just Frankie, a fictional character, but the author who had to have felt that way herself in order to give Frankie that longing. I felt such an intimate connection with her, as if she'd looked deep inside me and knew me in the way I wanted the world to know me. Reading didn't just offer escape; it offered connection!All these years later, I just have to look at my copy of A Member of the Wedding on my bookshelf to experience again how I felt when I first read it and to feel the full force of that connection: to Frankie, to Carson McCullers, to the 12-year-old girl I was, and to 12-year-olds everywhere.Emily LevineA Velocity of Being, Letters to a Young Reader, p. 52A brand with a personality is like A Member of the Wedding, written by Carson McCullers.Who was the first ad writer to give a brand a distinctive personality?That's like asking, “Who built the first car?” To answer that question, we would first have to agree upon the defining characteristics of a car.For us to agree upon “Who was the...

There are performers that impact your life without you even knowing it and today's guest fits that bill. On the show, we have comedic genius, multi-award-winning actor, writer, producer, director, and television host, Billy Crystal. We've seen Billy's versatile work across all areas in the entertainment world, stand-up, improv, Broadway, behind and in front of the camera, feature films, television, live stages like SNL, and animated movies. It's fascinating how much the man has done over the span of his career---and his lengthy IMDB page is only the tip of the iceberg.Billy's career took off for his role in the 70's sitcom SOAP, where he played a gay character, Jodie Dallas. This launched him into box office hits such as When Harry Met Sally, City Slickers, Analyze This, and the kids' favorite, Mike Wazowski in Monsters, Inc. just to name a few. Aside from hosting the Oscars® a record nine times and being only one step away from an EGOT, he's a philanthropist. Billy, along with Whoopi Goldberg and the late Robin Williams created the annual fundraiser stand-up comedy show, Comic Relief, in 1986 that has over the years, raised over $60 million to support the homeless. The late 80s and early 90s were a really magical time for Billy's career. He had the box office hits Running Scared and Throw Momma from the Train. He had scene-stealing parts in the classics This is Spinal Tap and The Princess Bride. There's the 1989 box office smash hit When Harry Met Sally, starring Billy alongside Meg Ryan and Carrie Fisher. The story follows Harry and Sally who had known each other for years, and are very good friends, but they fear sex would ruin the friendship.You can't talk about Billy Crystal classics without mentioning City Slickers for which he won a Golden Globes award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical/Comedy. On the verge of turning 40, an unhappy Manhattan yuppie is roped into joining his two friends on a cattle drive in the southwest.Billy's interest in entertainment started way before college. But his decision to go to NYU put some goals into place for him. He was a member of an improv/comedy group in college and soon he started to host solo standup shows. By 1978, he landed his first starring feature film role in Rabbit Test in which he starred with Joan Rivers. Towards the end of the 90s, Billy joined iconic Robert De Niro and Lisa Kudrow in the box blockbuster hit Analyze This and its sequel to Analyze That.Billy's work transcends generations and Gen Z is his newest fandom; distinctively for his role in Monster Inc. and Monsters University, Mike Wazowski. Monsters University revisits the relationship between Mike Wazowski and James P. "Sully" Sullivan during their days at Monsters University when they weren't necessarily the best of friends.Billy will reprise his role as Mike Wazowski in the Monsters at Work Disney+ series that is set for release later this year.One defining element of Billy's work, be it writing, acting, or directing is that he pulls from real-life experiences and balances funny and hard conversations effortlessly. Having started out in the business since he was 20 years old, it is absolutely thrilling to watch how he's knitted together diverse platforms and filed into an accomplished career. This Friday, May 7th, Billy's newest film, in which he wrote and directed, Here Today, stars himself and the incredibly funny, Tiffany Haddish, will be released only in theaters. These two make a seamless pairing and their chemistry is oh so charming. The intergenerational teaming of Billy and Tiffany tells a love story that is of friendship, support, and empathy. I absolutely LOVED the film. Do yourself a favor and go out and catch this gem of a film. When veteran comedy writer Charlie Burnz meets New York street singer Emma Payge, they form an unlikely yet hilarious and touching friendship that kicks the generation gap aside and redefines the meaning of love and trust.Billy has always been there to make me laugh, in good times and bad. I can not tell you what an honor and thrill it was getting to sit down and speak to a filmmaker, writer, and actor that has meant so much to me in my life.Enjoy my entertaining conversation with Billy Crystal.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Director Jonathan Entwistle (Karate Kid: Legends, The End of the F***ing World, I Am Not Okay With This) joins Vespe to talk about the incredibly divisive Spielberg film, Hook. Spielberg's Hook is a bonafide classic for a whole generation, but if you're not part of that younger Millennial generation it has the reputation of leaving you cold. The story is about a world where Peter Pan is real and he grew up to be Robin Williams. Peter marries Wendy's granddaughter and starts his own family, forgetting all about his Neverland adventures until he's forced back into fantasy when the very real Hook shows up and snatches his kids. Turns out there's a lot for two grown up nerds to dissect with this movie, not the least of which is why it feels like a couple of different films smashed together. We didn't know when we sat down to talk about this one that we'd get so introspective, but that's what even a complicated Spielberg flick can do. Learn more about your ad choices.
