Pride Month keeps the celebration moving on We Drink & We Watch Things as we transition from the quiet, burning embers of 18th-century France to the bright, neon-soaked drag capital of South Beach. For our "G" selection in the lineup, we are throwing it back to 1996 for Mike Nichols and Elaine May's sublime masterclass in comedic farce: The Birdcage. Mix yourself something wonderfully refreshing - perhaps Lemar's "Straight" Bourbon - and get ready for a family dinner where absolutely nothing goes according to plan.This week, we celebrate the legendary chemistry between Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, looking at how Williams plays the perfect, anchored straight man (pun intended) to Lane's fiercely dramatic, Barbara Bush-redefining Albert. We bask in the glorious, scene-stealing supporting work of Hank Azaria as the perpetually barefoot Agador Spartacus and Gene Hackman as the ultra-conservative Senator Keeley, who unwittingly ends up in the drag escape of a lifetime. We also break down the film's incredible heart, discussing how beneath the chaotic Martha Graham choreography, the "eco-friendly" naked-boy pottery, and the frantic attempts to pass as straight, it is a deeply moving portrait of unconditional love and a radical defense of queer families.If you can instantly recite the difference between a John Wayne walk and a regular walk, or if you just want to hear us gush about the comedic genius of an Elaine May screenplay, this episode is pure joy. We're blending our adoration for this comfort-movie masterpiece with our usual casual banter, proving that when the world gets crazy, sometimes you just have to give 'em a little bit of Fosse, Fosse, Fosse!This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.

Joel McHale (Community, The Soup) joins us this week for a conversation that is exactly what you would expect and then some. Joel talks about stepping into Scream 7 as a replacement, the improvised insults he threw at Jeremy Allen White on The Bear, and the Robin Williams scene in Merry Frigging Christmas that nobody saw but still makes him emotional. We also get into his sons' brutal ego checks, why he spirals when he slows down, and what it felt like to weep with his kid in the stands at a Seahawks game.

One minute you're discussing legendary comedians. The next minute you're getting shot with an Airsoft gun to reveal a baby's gender. Just another completely normal day on The Rizzuto Show.Episode 101 delivers exactly the kind of chaos you'd expect from your favorite daily comedy show. King Scott finally reveals whether he's having a boy or a girl, but because this is The Rizzuto Show, the reveal involves questionable planning, poor weapon handling, and two unsuspecting coworkers standing against a wall hoping they don't get blasted. Radio professionalism remains undefeated.Before the big reveal, the gang gears up for Night of the Rizzlies at the Gateway Grizzlies game, debates who can throw the fastest first pitch without embarrassing themselves, and questions whether Moon's partially destroyed knee can survive an outfield race. The confidence level is high. The odds of injury are somehow even higher.Then things get surprisingly heated when the crew tackles one of the biggest comedy questions imaginable: Who is the greatest stand-up comedian turned actor of all time? Robin Williams? Eddie Murphy? Jim Carrey? Steve Martin? Adam Sandler? Billy Crystal? The debate spirals into movie history, personal rankings, forgotten classics, and enough opinions to start at least three internet arguments.In Crap On Celebrities, Lern brings everything from Beastie Boys news and Marilyn Manson legal updates to TV cancellations, celebrity health stories, Hulk Hogan documentary discussion, and one of the strangest medical conditions anyone has ever heard of. Apparently some people sneeze when they're too full. The show spends an alarming amount of time exploring that concept.The gang also revisits cult classics like The Cable Guy, argues over the true Mount Rushmore of 1970s rock bands, and somehow turns a discussion about diarrhea into a surprisingly detailed scientific investigation. Nobody asked for that. Yet here we are.And because becoming a father isn't stressful enough, King Scott sticks around for "Feed Baby Scott," where listeners try to identify mystery baby foods while Scott gets spoon-fed questionable purees. Future fatherhood preparation? Not exactly. Entertaining radio? Absolutely.If you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with ridiculous debates, weird celebrity news, accidental life lessons, and a room full of adults behaving like unsupervised middle schoolers, this episode delivers all of it.Congratulations to Scott and Allison on their baby girl, condolences to everyone who got hit with an Airsoft pellet, and good luck getting the phrase "explosive diarrhea" out of your head.Thanks for listening to another daily comedy show from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://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.

If you've ever convinced yourself you were dying only to discover you just forgot your morning coffee, congratulations—you and Moon have something in common.This episode begins with Moon's dramatic weekend health crisis, which included headaches, body aches, sweating, canceled plans, and a genuine belief that he had caught the flu. After missing parties, skipping events, and suffering through a soccer match, the shocking diagnosis arrived: accidental caffeine withdrawal. One decaf mistake later, Moon was spiraling. Two rose lattes later, he was ready to conquer the world, write albums, and possibly become mayor of Paris.Meanwhile, the crew breaks down one of the most unexpected party surprises in recent memory when former Blues star Jamie Rivers decides the perfect pool-opening gift for his fiancée Ashley is... live monkeys. Not monkey decorations. Not monkey-themed cupcakes. Actual monkeys. Naturally, the monkeys arrive during a crowded backyard party packed with guests, children, music, and enough chaos to make everyone question several life choices. The result is equal parts adorable, confusing, and mildly terrifying.The conversation somehow escalates into monkey behavior analysis, party planning mistakes, surprise animal logistics, and the realization that getting bitten by a monkey in a bikini was probably not on anyone's weekend bingo card.The gang also recaps King Scott's massive baby shower, complete with mountains of gifts, bacon, desserts, and the looming anticipation of the show's upcoming gender reveal. There are discussions about weird party foods, mysterious hot-dog cake creations, and why some recipes should maybe stay inside family cookbooks.As if that wasn't enough, Rafe conducts what can only be described as investigative journalism by revisiting a local Hooters. What follows is an unexpectedly deep exploration of restaurant culture, paper plates, silent dining rooms, forgotten glory days, and whether a restaurant can accidentally become an existential experience. It's part food review, part sociology experiment, and part cry for help.The crew also tackles one of life's toughest questions: what's the saddest food to eat alone? Cake? Ice cream? A blooming onion? The answers get surprisingly personal as stories of lonely desserts, spaghetti mishaps, old promotional cakes, and questionable life decisions come flooding out.From caffeine dependency and monkey business to restaurant nostalgia and emotional food debates, this episode delivers exactly the kind of beautiful nonsense that makes this daily comedy show what it is. If you're looking for a daily comedy show that can seamlessly connect French coffee, poolside monkeys, hot-dog cake, and Hooters trivia without ever making sense, you've found your people.One minute you're discussing legendary comedians. The next minute you're getting shot with an Airsoft gun to reveal a baby's gender.

Yet here we are.And because becoming a father isn't stressful enough, King Scott sticks around for "Feed Baby Scott," where listeners try to identify mystery baby foods while Scott gets spoon-fed questionable purees. Future fatherhood preparation? Not exactly. Entertaining radio? Absolutely.Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show answers a question absolutely nobody asked: can King Scott identify baby food flavors while blindfolded and trapped in audio isolation?Armed with an airplane spoon, questionable parenting products, and the confidence of a man who claimed he'd "never gotten this wrong before," Scott stepped into one of the weirdest challenges we've ever put on the show. What followed was a rollercoaster of carrots, sweet peas, green beans, applesauce, chicken broth, and enough pureed mystery meat to make everyone in the room reconsider modern food science.Things start innocent enough when Scott confidently nails carrot. That's where the success story ends. Soon he's identifying sweet peas as asparagus, green beans as apricot, and repeatedly convincing himself that every suspicious meat product on earth somehow tastes like tuna. Meanwhile, Moon embraces his new role as Baby Food Sommelier, Rafe nearly loses his lunch from the smell of ham puree, and Lern spends most of the challenge laughing at Scott looking like he's awaiting sentencing in the electric chair.Along the way, the gang talks about the upcoming Operation Food Search canned food drive, broadcasting outside the station for the first time in years, and why the studio might actually be the sixth member of the show. Then it's right back to watching a grown man try to process flavors designed for people who can't legally walk yet.The real star of the show might be the baby food itself. The ham and gravy drew immediate comparisons to cat food. The chicken and broth somehow smelled worse. Multiple show members gagged. One nearly threw up. Scott requested second bites of several flavors despite clear evidence that his taste buds had already filed formal complaints.If you've ever wondered what happens when confidence collides head-on with pureed meat products, this episode delivers. It's a masterclass in bad guesses, terrible smells, and the kind of chaos that only happens when a daily radio show decides to turn one of its hosts into a giant toddler for entertainment purposes.This is exactly the kind of funny podcast nonsense that keeps us employed. It's a funny podcast filled with bad decisions, questionable food choices, and a shocking amount of discussion about tuna that wasn't actually tuna. If you love a funny podcast featuring hilarious fails, weird food challenges, sarcastic humor, and friends roasting each other for nearly half an hour, welcome home.Featuring:King Scott vs. baby foodThe ham puree incidentThe Great Tuna ConfusionMoon's elite airplane-spoon techniqueRafe's battle with nauseaMultiple audience predictionsOne very concerned future fatherEnough chicken broth to haunt a studio foreverThe Rizzuto Show: proving once again that adulthood is mostly just childhood with bills.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Belleville's Skyview Drive-In is now for saleBear sightings prompt warnings in Franklin County'Pure Panic': Glacier Grizzly Attack Survivor Shares the Story of the Rescue That Saved HimSt. Louis woman stabs man in head with railroad spike after fight over lottery ticketSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Your bank balance can change in seconds, but getting your money back can take days or weeks, and that gap can wreck your whole month. We jump in with a real story about suspicious transfers, fraud stress, and the brutal reality of waiting on a “claim” when the missing cash is rent money. We also talk Wells Fargo and Chase experiences, why refunds feel stacked against consumers, and what you can do right now to reduce risk, from account monitoring to smarter card choices.From there, things get personal fast. We catch up on family life, grief, and how loss changes the day-to-day in ways you don't expect. Then we swing the other direction into Disneyland nostalgia, ride memories, and that funny feeling when a simple day out reminds you that life can still be light.And because this is us, we don't stay in one lane. We get into Los Angeles politics, corporate power, gas prices, and why so many people feel like the system protects institutions before it protects families. We wrap with pure 80s joy: Robin Williams memories, drive-in theaters, and a full collector breakdown of He-Man Masters of the Universe movie merch, popcorn buckets, scalpers, and the hard choices fans make when limited items sell out.If you've ever dealt with bank fraud, hated autopay, missed the 80s, or just want an unfiltered conversation that sounds like real friends talking, hit play.

"An Old Dog can't learn new tricks". Ever since Patch Adams, Robin's career had taken a major shift. From his blank check/post-oscar trilogy, to his evil-dark trilogy, to his family comedy roles; Robin's career goes from it's highest to its lowest in a decade. Jeff and Stuart talk about where Robin was, where he is now, and where he's heading.

The prolific screenwriter, David Silverman, is back on StoryBeat for the second time. David has written for stars like Robin Williams, Bob Newhart, Rosanne Barr, Drew Carey, Sarah Silverman, Pee Wee Herman, and others. David has co-created 5 TV series and written and produced on more than 30 different series, including hugely popular shows like Newhart, Roseanne, One Day at a Time, The Jeffersons, Alice, Dilbert, and South Park.David co-created The Wild Thornberrys, which spawned two feature films: The Wild Thornberrys Movie and Rugrats Go Wild. Other feature films David has co-written include Stepping Out, Purple Haze, and The Flintstones Movie.As a Stanford-educated psychotherapist, David's treated and coached aspiring writers, many of whom have gone on to sell their own feature films and TV shows.David and his wife Rogena, who is also a writer and editor, recently collaborated on their excellent book, How to Be a Rockstar Screenwriter, which contains some of the best advice I've read on the mindset that ambitious screen and TV writers need to succeed. Unlike most books on screenwriting, How to Be a Rockstar Screenwriter is filled with solid advice for those dealing with the challenging psychological issues facing writers who wish to work in Hollywood, as well as for those who are already successful screenwriters.  I urge anyone hoping to make it as a professional writer in Hollywood to check out this very wise book.For the record, David and I have known one another for many decades, connected by our mutual friend, the late, great Steve Sustarsic. David and Steve were a well-known, highly successful sit-com writing team. They wrote and produced hundreds of TV scripts together.

Sam J. Jones on Flash Gordon, Fear, Fame, and Life Beyond Hollywood  In this episode of Reza Rifts, Keith Reza sits down with actor Sam J. Jones for a funny, candid, and surprisingly thoughtful conversation about Flash Gordon, staying grounded in Hollywood, working security outside the movie business, fan conventions, and the mindset it takes to survive a long career in entertainment. Sam reflects on the pressure of carrying a cult classic, why Flash Gordon still connects with audiences decades later, and how discipline, humility, and preparation shaped both his acting career and his life off-screen. The conversation also dives into Sam's work on The Spirit, Under the Gun, and Life After Flash, along with behind-the-scenes stories about conventions, celebrity encounters, comic timing, and one unforgettable Harley-Davidson wrap-party moment. It's a warm, honest episode packed with old-school Hollywood perspective and practical life wisdom.  Guest Bio: Sam J. Jones Sam J.

En este episodio de Nakatomi Radio hablamos de El indomable Will Hunting (1997): su increíble historia detrás de las cámaras, el papel fundamental de Robin Williams, las mejores escenas de la película, curiosidades del rodaje y las razones por las que sigue emocionando casi treinta años después. Una historia sobre talento, amistad, segundas oportunidades y el miedo a dar el paso que puede cambiarlo todo. ️ Víctor Nanclares y Alfredo Zapata la comentan, la desmenuzan y sobre todo, la disfrutan contigo.

This week we tackle the story of Kurt Russell and Robin Williams teaming up to relive the most painful dropped pass in history… because apparently therapy was too expensive in the ‘80s. Is there any way these guys forget about Monday Night Football? Was Luther too cool to practice? Why is Jack the way he is? Life is short, you don't want to miss this episode!

We're back with the sequel, only this time we travel to the Smithsonian where Robin Williams gets maybe three scenes max in this movie, one which he's a bronze statue with no limbs. In this movie you will be tested on the strange world-building properties of the mystical tablet that brings all of the exhibits to life. What's the tablets range? Does it reach through walls, tunnels and other buildings? How come Ben Stiller doesn't just deactivate the tablet at the beginning of this movie like Dick Van Dyke does in the first one?? None of these questions will have answers.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Shamus back on the show as they discuss the 1986 sports comedy The Best of Time.  In this Robin Williams led flick, he has to get the old team back together to replay a football game that his dropped pass caused his team to tie.  TIE??  This ain't soccer.  How can they develope a plot over a tie game?  Anyway, Kurt Russell is the QB and along for the ride, as we wants to capture some of the old glory too.  The casting agent for this movie must have had a hard time finding a bunch of guys in their early 30s to act as the rest of the team, since this really looks like an old timers game at some points.  Anyway, enjoy the podcast!Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new

The month of May continues with picks by our own Derek and this week he's chosen the 1991 neo-noir romantic thriller, DEAD AGAIN. Directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson with Andy Garcia, Derek Jacobi, Wayne Knight and Robin Williams, it tells the story of a woman who has lost her memory (Thompson), and a private eye (Brannagh) who is enlisted to track down her identity, but he soon finds that he might have a past life connection to her that endangers both of their lives.

Monica Potter joins Steve Kmetko for one of the most emotional and revealing conversations yet on STILL HERE HOLLYWOOD. From starring alongside Robin Williams in Patch Adams, to unforgettable roles in Parenthood, Along Came a Spider, Con Air, and The Last House on the Left, Monica opens up about her remarkable career, motherhood, growing up poor in Cleveland, and the deeply personal lessons she learned from some of Hollywood's most iconic actors. She shares emotional memories of Robin Williams, hilarious stories about Nicolas Cage, heartfelt reflections on Philip Seymour Hoffman, working with Morgan Freeman, and how Hollywood once pressured her to choose career over family. Monica also discusses: Why she hated acting classes Her father's incredible inventions Raising empathetic children Rebuying her childhood home in Cleveland Why she says she's “already canceled” The emotional cost of fame Her connection to nature, healing, and intuition This is one of the rawest, funniest, and most unexpectedly touching episodes of STILL HERE HOLLYWOOD. #StillHereHollywood #MonicaPotter #Parenthood #PatchAdams #RobinWilliams #MorganFreeman #NicolasCage #PhilipSeymourHoffman #SteveKmetko #HollywoodStories #CelebrityInterviews #90sMovies #2000sTV #BehindTheScenes #Cleveland #Hollywood Transcript source:   00:00 Monica Potter remembers Robin Williams 02:04 Intro 03:39 Working with Robin Williams on Patch Adams 05:52 Nicolas Cage stories and on-set laughs 07:04 Philip Seymour Hoffman memories 09:21 Morgan Freeman and driving stunts 11:26 “I'm already canceled” 14:31 Growing up with an inventor father 17:33 Raising empathetic children 18:59 Her father's inventions and the Whiptail lure 23:13 The hardest part of Hollywood 25:00 Why Monica shifted from movies to television 27:33 Reflecting on Robin Williams after his death 28:22 Parenthood and playing a character with cancer 29:33 Why she didn't want her kids acting 32:50 Returning to her Cleveland childhood home 36:33 Buying back the family house 40:00 Renovating her childhood home 41:34 Advice for aspiring actors 45:00 Hollywood pressure and motherhood 47:58 Monica's “secret talents” 50:11 Why acting classes felt wrong to her 53:42 Beauty, modeling, and self-image 55:40 Why soap operas weren't for her 57:48 Her home decor and wellness line 1:00:09 Archaeology, crystals, and camping 1:00:40 Final thoughts and emotional goodbye Show CreditsHost/Producer: Steve KmetkoAll things technical: Justin ZangerleExecutive Producer: Jim LichtensteinMusic by: Brian Sanyshyn https://stillherehollywood.comhttp://patreon.com/stillherehollywoodSuggest Guests at: stillherehollywood@gmail.comAdvertise on Still Here Hollywood: jim@stillherenetwork.comPublicist: Maggie Perlich: maggie@numbertwelvemarketing.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

They walk through why "insurability is a currency," how convertible term lets you shield tens of millions from estate tax without consuming your exemption, and why the conventional advice to move everything out of your estate is often wrong.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment01:55 – Why estate planning is unique to every family 04:25 – The Last Will and Testament: pros, cons, and the guardianship rule 09:35 – The "title test": what goes in the will vs. the trust 12:30 – Probate, public record, and Robin Williams 18:10 – Revocable trusts: what they actually do 25:40 – Frankenstein trusts and the funding problem 27:55 – Pour-over wills as the catch-all 33:25 – Why vague language kills directives 41:30 – Financial power of attorney and conservatorship 44:20 – Why banks demand their own POA forms 48:50 – Why the four documents stay separate 51:35 – Estate tax vs. income tax 01:01:00 – A real case: $6M policy, the irrevocable fix 01:04:00 – Insurability is a currency 01:11:50 – The Rockefeller Method: IBC on the kids 01:17:25 – Intentionally Defective Grantor Trusts 01:23:50 – Why the IRS allows hot-swapping assets 01:35:15 – Apocalyptic optionality: how IBC creates options 01:37:35 – Closing thoughtsKey Takeaways:Every American needs the big four documents: a will, a revocable trust, a medical directive, and a financial power of attorney. The will is non-negotiable if you have kids because it names guardians, and a trust cannot.Insurability is a currency. Every healthy year you don't lock in coverage is wealth left on the table, and convertible term placed in an irrevocable trust consumes $0 of your $30M estate tax exemption.The contrarian play is to keep assets in your estate, not out of it. Preserve the step-up in basis on appreciating assets, then use massive life insurance death benefit (owned irrevocably) to pay the inevitable tax bill tax-free.Whole life beat the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index in 9 of the last 10 years after tax. The 15-year return on the broadest bond index is 2.21% taxable versus roughly 4.5-5% tax-free for dividend-paying whole life, with a death benefit on top.The Rockefeller Method scales this across generations. Start max-funded IBC policies on the kids, keep them in your estate, and create cascading multi-generational liquidity where each generation gets a step-up and tax-free death benefit to pay the next round of taxes.

Robin Williams plays Jack Holden, an actor whose career has gone down the drain and is struggling to cope with his addictive tendencies. Hmm... Shrink is one of those movies thats about the inner workings of the hollywood machine with the self-inserted writer character struggling to write his next screenplay.

Most people think the worst thing in the world is being alone.But the Stoics made an important distinction between loneliness and solitude.Loneliness is the painful feeling of disconnection — the sense that you do not belong, that no one truly sees you, understands you, or stands beside you. Solitude, however, is something entirely different. Solitude is peace within yourself. It is the ability to sit quietly in your own company without needing distraction, validation, or noise.In this episode, I explore why human beings fear loneliness so deeply, how our evolutionary history shaped our need for connection, and why community matters far more than modern individualism often admits.I also reflect on Robin Williams' famous quote:“The worst thing in the world is not to be alone, but to be around people who make you feel alone.”From a Stoic perspective, this quote reveals something profound about belonging, perception, emotional dependence, and the search for inner stability.This episode is about:The difference between loneliness and solitudeWhy human beings crave connectionThe Stoic idea of a “well-ordered mind”Why some people cannot tolerate being aloneThe danger of seeking relationships from desperationFinding peace both with others and within yourselfYou do not need to become emotionally isolated to become strong.You need to become stable enough that your peace does not disappear when silence arrives.

On episode 154 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by Pop Culture Confidential host Christina Jeurling Birro discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, Insomnia (2002). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. What does one do after making their big breakthrough? For Christopher Nolan, it was his chance to step up another level and work on a American remake of the 1997 Norwegian film of the same name, Insomnia, which follows a washed up cop investigating a murder case in a small town, stuck in a web of lies connected to his past mistakes and getting tangled in a cat and mouse game with a smart criminal who wants to get away with the crime they've committed. Obsessed with the original when he was making Following, the young director set out to make his version of the modern cautionary crime tale, which for the guys and Christina seems like a misstep for him following his monumental statement of Memento. Ryan, Jay, and Christina break down their thoughts on the film, their connection with the original, the sleepiness of Al Pacino (with an impression by Ryan once or twice on the show), the dramatic work of Robin Williams, the appeal of Hilary Swank, not being able to sleep with the lights on, and how this is the least "Nolan" movie of his filmography, both in good ways and mostly bad ways. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 1h041m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Christopher Nolan with a review of his next film, Batman Begins. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Never join a cult designed for 144,000 people. In this one, Ian and Liv talk about a shockingly recent cult, where the leader was not only a crazy white lady, but also an alcoholic, conspiracy theorist, and an abusive thief. Her followers were tricked into giving everything they owned,and it was all for the false promise of taking up residency in the 5th Dimension with Robin Williams, Jesus Christ, Whitney Houston, Buddha, and Trump. Clearly, this is all very legitimate. Also, Liv endorses pickle ball. Ian aspires to be a Babylonian whore. Dakota thinks this is all bullshit.

BEST OF HACKING THE AFTERLIFE These are excerpts from a number of podcasts - with conversations with people offstage about how things work.  Charles Grodin, Robert Towne, Phil Hartman, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix stop by briefly Prince stops by, Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Hawking, Robin Williams, and two animals stop by - Hira, the dog and companion of screenwriter Robert Towne, and Mr. Bailey, the companion and pet of Luana Anders. Both have insight into how animals incarnate, how consciousness functions.  It's a free wheeling discuss with lots of different concepts flying around.  Someone requested us doing a conversation with animals - and out of the many podcasts, conversations where animals showed, up, these were a few with a dog I knew (Hira) and walked for 3 years for my boss Robert Towne.. Hira showed up during a session we did with Robert. He was a skeptic until I asked Hira to tell Robert something I didn't know, that only he could remember. Jennifer said he was showing her challenging a buffalo on Catalina. Something only Robert could have known. Luana is our moderator on the flipside, and is responsible for teaming me and Jennifer up - and also was close friends with any number of people who show up (Charles Grodin, etc).   It's hard to characterize this as anything but an extended conversation about how consciousness functions or incarnation works. Enjoy.

The internet woke up in full panic mode after Instagram launched a massive bot purge that vaporized millions of followers from celebrities, influencers, and probably your cousin who suddenly became a “fitness entrepreneur” during the pandemic. Kylie Jenner lost 14 million followers in a blink, and suddenly everybody online started acting like follower counts never mattered anyway. Sure, Jan.The gang dives into the chaos of fake followers disappearing, why advertisers are finally cracking down, and how even normal accounts can tell when the bots get exterminated. It's basically robot Hunger Games happening quietly in the background of social media while everybody keeps posting blurry vacation photos and motivational quotes stolen from Pinterest.Then somehow the conversation turns into Angry Birds officially entering the Video Game Hall of Fame. Yes. Angry Birds. The little phone game that destroyed productivity in offices across America is now standing next to gaming legends like Doom and Oregon Trail. The crew debates what games deserve Hall of Fame status, why Guitar Hero absolutely got robbed, and how Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtracks basically raised an entire generation of emotionally confused skateboard kids.There's also a deep dive into concert experiences at the Sphere in Las Vegas, including No Doubt, Metallica, Tool, and the realization that Tool might actually be the perfect Sphere band because nobody in Tool has ever looked interested in being on stage anyway. The visual effects do the heavy lifting while the audience collectively melts into a psychedelic lava lamp.Moon talks about how video games became one of the biggest discovery tools for music, including stories about Story of the Year songs unexpectedly blowing up after landing in racing games and MLB titles. If you ever found your favorite band because you crashed fake cars in Need for Speed, congratulations — you were part of history.Also in this episode:Jamie Pressly joins OnlyFans and keeps things just vague enough to make everybody suspiciousJerry Seinfeld claims Friends was basically just “Seinfeld with attractive people”Robin Williams stories from the set of Mrs. DoubtfireThe return of KISS… sort ofMini KISS somehow still thriving in 2026David Attenborough turning 100 years old because apparently nature documentaries grant immortalityThe best TV moms of all time according to the internetMortal Kombat reviewsStreaming habits of Gen ZBeat Saber obsessionCelebrity birthdaysAbsolute nonsense from beginning to endThis funny podcast from St. Louis continues doing what it does best: turning weird news, celebrity gossip, gaming nostalgia, and random debates into complete morning-show chaos.

Send Kevin a Text MessageMark Johnson, Academy Award-winning producer of Rain Man and Emmy Award-winning executive producer of Breaking Bad, joins host Kevin Goetz for a conversation about a career defined by creative restlessness and uncommon decency. The interview ranges from his transformative partnership with Barry Levinson, which produced Diner, The Natural, and Good Morning Vietnam, to shepherding beloved films like The Notebook, A Little Princess, Donnie Brasco, and Galaxy Quest to championing an unknown writer named Vince Gilligan, Johnson reflects on what it means to serve a director's vision, why he refuses to make the same movie twice, and how audience testing changed the way he thinks about filmmaking.Never the Same Movie Twice (02:14): Johnson explains his resistance to repeating himself across genres. From Galaxy Quest to The Notebook to Breaking Bad, he compares his varied tastes to simply deciding what he wants for breakfast.Meeting Barry Levinson (04:07): Johnson recalls how a chance connection on the Mel Brooks comedy launched one of Hollywood's most fruitful producing partnerships, and what he learned from working alongside a director who always began with character.The Lesson of Good Morning Vietnam (13:12): Johnson describes how audience testing transformed his understanding of filmmaking, including working with the mercurial and brilliant Robin Williams and the pivotal decision to restore a scene with J.T. Walsh.Winning the Oscar for Rain Man (18:29): Johnson reflects on the bittersweet experience of winning Best Picture for a film he credits largely to others, Tom Cruise's underappreciated subtlety in the role, and the one name he forgot to thank from the podium.The Closest Thing to a Perfect Movie (26:08): Johnson singles out Alfonso Cuarón's A Little Princess as the film he holds most dear as a lesson in collaborative craftsmanship.Discovering Vince Gilligan (30:06): In 1988, Johnson read a script by an unknown writer at a Virginia Film Festival jury and knew immediately he was in the presence of singular talent. He details how he championed Gilligan for years before Breaking Bad made the world take notice.The Producer's True Role (38:57): Johnson shares what he hopes listeners take away — that his passion for moviemaking is as alive today as when he started, and that a producer's job is never to claim ownership of a film, but to help a director realize their vision.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Mark JohnsonProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Mark Johnson:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Johnson_(producer)IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0425741/LFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

11-year-old August Rush, a musical prodigy who runs away from his group home to New York City to search for his long lost parents using the power of music which brings everybody together. For a movie as whimsical and fantastical as this would seem, Robin Williams' 'Wizard' character sure doesn't seem to add that much whimsy.

Thirty-five years ago, Steven Spielberg released his updated take on the classic children's story Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie. Arriving in theaters in 1991 with enormous expectations, the film was toplined by four actors at the height of their fame: Robin Williams stars as an aged-up Peter, fresh off Dead Poets Society and Awakenings - and just a year away from Aladdin and Mrs. Doubtfire; Dustin Hoffman, riding high after his Oscar win for Rain Man, as the titular Captain Hook; Julia Roberts, newly-minted as America's sweetheart after Pretty Woman, donning the wings as Tinkerbell; and Bob Hoskins as Mister Smee, following up his breakout blockbuster Who Framed Roger Rabbit. With a prime Christmas release date and a sweeping John Williams score, the film looked destined to become an instant Spielberg swashbuckling classic. Instead, a famously troubled production - marked by massive (and expensive) sets, shooting that ran 40 days over schedule, and a strained relationship between director Spielberg and ingénue Roberts - resulted in a film that critics were quick to call indulgent and uneven. Spielberg himself later admitted frustration with the project, and despite solid box‑office returns, the film was seen as a disappointment during a peak period of Spielberg's career. And yet the pixie dust of nostalgia has quietly rewritten the narrative: the film has become something of a cult favorite, embraced by fans who grew up with VHS rewatches. Now we're dropping anchor in Pirates Bay to see if Hook conjures up any happy thoughts, or if it is better off getting lost, boy!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.
