This flick, featuring the legendary Vincent Price, is a blend of revenge, music, and, let's be honest, some bizarre artistic choices that leave us both scratching our heads and applauding. Who knew a disfigured organist could pull off such intricate murder methods inspired by biblical plagues? We dissect the film's over-the-top styling and Vincent's commitment to the role, showcasing his unique charm and manic energy. It's not just a horror flick; it's an artistic statement where every kill is more elaborate than the last, and we can't help but cheer for Dr. Phibes as he takes out the bumbling medical team that failed his wife. Expect witty banter, fun insights about film festivals, and a whole lot of love for the creative madness that is this film. Wrapping things up, we bring it back to the festival, sharing our excitement for the upcoming Anomaly Film Festival in Rochester, New York, and how this film fits perfectly within the genre celebration. With our casual banter and playful commentary, we aim to engage our listeners and encourage them to watch this cult classic. So, grab your popcorn, tune in, and let's get weird with Dr. Phibes!Mentioned in this episode:Punches & PopcornThe masters of Couch Potato style Mike Huntone, Jason Bills, and Dr. Dominic D'Amore take a deep dive into the best and worst of martial arts films. https://punches-and-popcorn.captivate.fm/Refined Taste with Dario & ChrisWeekly Live show where comedians Dario Joseph and Chris Thompson talk and laugh with representatives of Rochester, New York's food and drink scene.

Jesse Cramer speaks with Christine Benz, Director of Personal Finance at Morningstar, about insights from her book How to Retire. Before their discussion, Jesse contrasts gambling with long-term investing, emphasizing the risks of short-term market bets versus the reliability of patient investing. Christine highlights the shift in financial advice toward holistic retirement planning, including the importance of low-cost, diversified portfolios and planning for life transitions. The episode also explores the financial impact of caregiving, particularly on women, and the necessity of proactive retirement savings and long-term care planning. John Guyton's "guardrails approach" is discussed as a strategy for adjusting withdrawals based on market performance. Additionally, the conversation underscores the role of psychology in financial decision-making and the non-financial aspects of retirement, such as maintaining social connections and redefining work-life balance. The overarching message is that successful retirement planning requires a combination of careful financial preparation, behavioral awareness, and long-term strategic thinking. Key Takeaways:• Short-term stock market movements may seem random, but long-term investing historically trends upward, making it a safer and more strategic approach compared to gambling. • Many people underestimate their lifespan, which can lead to financial shortfalls in retirement; actuarial data and family history should be factored into planning. • Persuasive stories can shape financial decision-making, sometimes leading people to overlook critical advice in favor of compelling but misleading pitches. • Taking on unpaid caregiving roles can impact financial security, and couples should consider financial agreements to ensure fair distribution of assets. • Beyond finances, maintaining social connections and finding purpose are crucial for a satisfying retirement. • A successful retirement is not just about financial security but also about ensuring a meaningful and well-balanced life in later years.

In this episode,  Savannah Domenech is back to dive into the economic effects of Kodak's rise and fall in Rochester, New York. For decades, Kodak wasn't just a company - it was the economic backbone of the city, providing tens of thousands of jobs and shaping the entire community. But when the company went bankrupt, so did the financial security of many Rochester residents.What happens when an industry that once promised prosperity vanishes? Savannah unpacks the stark realities of Kodak's economic collapse, from lost pensions and skyrocketing unemployment to the struggles of former workers forced back into the job market. They explore the racial and gender disparities in Kodak's hiring and wage practices, the class-action lawsuits that followed, and the devastating impact of the company's bankruptcy on retirees who were left with nothing.But this isn't just a story of loss - it's also one of resilience. How did the community rebuild after the downfall of its largest employer? And what lessons can we learn about relying too heavily on a single industry? Let's explore this and so much more on this episode of The Environmental Justice Lab. Connect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: @envjusticelab YouTube: @envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.comDon't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!

This week we are joined on the podcast by New York State Broadcasters Association Hall of Famer Doug Emblidge! Doug shares tales from his storied career and comments on the changes he has seen in the world of journalism over the years. We also discuss the early shift into the spring real estate market and highlight some new restaurants opening in Rochester!

In this episode, we confront one of the most devastating consequences of Kodak's industrial legacy: its impact on public health. For decades, the communities surrounding Kodak's operations in Rochester have faced alarming health disparities—rising cancer rates, respiratory illnesses, and other chronic conditions linked to toxic pollution. Savannah unpacks the harsh reality of how environmental contamination has disproportionately affected vulnerable populations, especially children and low-income families.But this episode is not just about the problem—it's about the fight for solutions. How do you heal a community that has been exposed to industrial pollution for generations? What policies or healthcare interventions are needed to address these long-standing health disparities? And most importantly—how can we prevent this from happening again in other communities? If you are concerned about the intersection of health, equity, and environmental justice, this episode is essential listening.Connect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: @envjusticelab YouTube: @envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.comDon't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!

Jesse is joined by Chad Carson, who discusses residential real estate investing as a stable alternative to stocks and bonds. While real estate offers advantages like rental income, property appreciation, and tax benefits, Jesse also highlights challenges such as high costs, tenant issues, liquidity problems, and the time commitment required. Jesse thinks of his Rochester wealth management clients, and what some of them do.  Chad emphasizes choosing the right location, focusing on properties with minimal renovation needs, and securing financing that ensures a healthy cash flow. He advises new investors to avoid risky locations and avoid over-leveraging, recommending a steady, cautious approach. The discussion also touches on the stages of investing, from securing initial deals to building wealth and prioritizing stability.  The concept of the "small and mighty" investor is introduced, suggesting that a smaller, well-managed portfolio can generate significant passive income, offering more flexibility and freedom than large-scale investing. Both Jesse and Chad stress the importance of aligning investments with personal values and goals, encouraging listeners to prioritize lifestyle over asset accumulation - a pillar of financial planning.  Key Takeaways:• When investing in real estate, focus on areas with strong job markets and potential for growth. Avoid declining populations and single-industry towns. • Ensure mortgage payments are significantly lower than your rental income, ideally aiming for a 50% or lower mortgage-to-rent ratio. • Mortgages allow for property ownership you couldn't otherwise afford, but use debt carefully, especially in downturns. Ensure good debt management to avoid financial failure. • Whether through books, podcasts, or coaches, learning from experts can help build confidence and avoid mistakes. • Bigger isn't always better. A smaller, well-managed portfolio can generate significant passive income without the burden of managing hundreds of units. • Real estate should fit into your personal values and long-term lifestyle vision. Success is not about accumulating assets but achieving your desired way of life.

In this continuation of our series on Legacy Environmental Justice, we shift our focus from Kodak to the people of Rochester - the communities that lived in the shadow of the factory, bore the brunt of its pollution, and are still dealing with its lasting effects today. Savannah unpacks eye-opening statistics from the latest census, revealing how economic hardship, failing school systems, and environmental degradation have shaped the city over time.At the heart of this episode lies in the deeply human impact of Kodak's environmental footprint. From toxic spills near elementary schools to alarmingly high cancer rates in women and children, we discuss how systemic neglect and corporate irresponsibility continue to haunt Rochester long after Kodak's decline.How does a community recover from a century of environmental injustice? What can be done to protect future generations? And is anyone still being held accountable? This is a conversation about resilience, accountability, and the fight for justice. If you want to learn more about environmental equity and the real-life consequences of corporate pollution, this is an episode you don't want to miss.Connect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: @envjusticelab YouTube: @envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.comDon't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!

We look forward to the future of "Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors."   Key Takeaways:• Relying solely on one asset class, such as large-cap U.S. stocks, increases risk and limits flexibility in different market conditions. • No asset class can outperform indefinitely; over time, returns tend to move back toward historical averages. • Holding international stocks can help balance risk, as different regions perform well at different times. • Just because a strategy has worked for years doesn't mean it will continue to do so; market conditions evolve. • As retirement nears, reducing portfolio volatility becomes more important, and diversifying helps protect against severe downturns. • The best strategy involves preparing for uncertainty, adjusting portfolios based on personal financial goals rather than chasing recent winners.   Key Timestamps:(03:43) Reflections on the Journey (15:15) Rebranding Announcement (19:44) Highlighting the Best Clips (38:53) The Importance of Indexing and Market Timing (40:52) Understanding the CAPE Ratio (45:12) The Risks of Timing the Market (51:45) Dollar Cost Averaging vs. Lump Sum Investing (54:42) Diversification: Why It Matters   Key Topics Discussed:The Best Interest, Jesse Cramer, Rochester New York, financial planner, financial advisor, wealth management, retirement planning, tax planning, personal finance, long term investors, Joe Saul Sehy, Brad Barrett, Nick Maggiulli, Justin Peters, Jeremy Schneider, Doug Cunnington, Joel Larsgaard, Paula Pant, andy Hill, Steve Adcock, Dan Otter, Brian Feroldi, episode 100, celebration, millionaire money habits   Mentions:Joe Saul Sehy: https://joesaulsehy.com/ Brad Barrett: https://choosefi.com/ Nick Maggiulli: https://ofdollarsanddata.com/ Justin Peters: https://www.tsirpodcast.com/ Jeremy Schneider: https://www.instagram.com/personalfinanceclub/?hl=en Doug Cunnington: https://milehighfi.com/ Joel Larsgaard: https://www.howtomoney.com/about-us/joel-larsgaard/ Paula Pant: https://affordanything.com/ Andy Hill: https://marriagekidsandmoney.com/about/ Steve Adcock: https://steveadcock.us/ Dan Otter: https://teachandretirerich.com/ Brian Feroldi: https://www.youtube.com/@BrianFeroldiYT    More of Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors:Check out the Best Interest Blog at bestinterest.blog Contact me at jesse@bestinterest.blog Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.

In this episode, we welcome back Savannah Domenech for a deep dive into the rise and fall of Kodak— and the lasting environmental and social impacts on Rochester, New York. Once a corporate giant that defined photography for generations, Kodak was more than just a company — it was the backbone of an entire community. Savannah unpacks Kodak's golden era, its contributions to Rochester, and how it became synonymous with job security and innovation. But, as the company declined, so did its reputation, with environmental disasters, mass layoffs, and lingering pollution leaving a lasting mark on the city and its people.Was Kodak a benevolent giant, or just another corporation prioritizing profits over people? How did the Rochester community respond when faced with toxic spills and economic downturns? And what lessons can we learn from Kodak's environmental justice legacy?Join us for an eye-opening conversation that connects history, business, and environmental responsibility. If you're interested in corporate accountability, community resilience, and the real-world impacts of industrial decline, this episode is a must-listen.Resources: Pollution By Kodak Brings Sense Of Betrayal - NY TimesThe Environmental Ruin of Kodak - Psychology TodayConnect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: @envjusticelab YouTube: @envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.comDon't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!Support our work by joining the Supporters Club: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-environmental-justice-lab--5583745/support

The episode encapsulates a riveting examination of the 1994 film Street Fighter, a cinematic endeavor that has sparked both fervent debate and nostalgic reminiscence within the gaming and film communities. As the podcastronauts, joined by Mr. Ray of the Actual Play podcast 2 Dollar Creature Feature (https://2dollarcreature.carrd.co/), dissect the film's production backstory, uncovering a wealth of anecdotes that shed light on the tumultuous conditions under which the film was created. With Raul Julia's final performance as M. Bison serving as a poignant centerpiece, the discussion navigates through the film's reception, its peculiar narrative choices, and the juxtaposition of laughter and frustration it elicits from audiences. The speakers reflect on the film's campy nature, celebrating its unintentional humor while also scrutinizing its shortcomings in faithfully representing the beloved characters from the game. This thoughtful analysis not only pays homage to the film but also invites listeners to contemplate the broader implications of adaptations in the realm of entertainment.Check out Anomaly on Social Media!www.anomalyfilmfest.comBluesky: @anomalyfilmfestInstagram: @anomalyfilmfestFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AnomalyFilmFest/Join us for the Anomaly Film Festival November 5-9, 2025 at the Little Theatre in Rochester NY!Mentioned in this episode:Joe Bean Coffee - Coffee that lifts everyone.Use promo code Lunchador for 15% off your order! https://shop.joebeanroasters.comSweet Pea Plant Based KitchenBased in Rochester, NY @sweetpeaplantbased is a plant-powered kitchen creating transformative ways of wellness.

Episode #208. Hey friends,  This was recorded on New Years day! This is a unique kind of conversation. I mention this in the introduction. I appreciate Max opening up about his experiences with religious trauma and faith. We get into it! Max's BIO: I am a musician from Rochester New York who struggles with many different mental health issues and has a very unique way of thinking. Notes from conversation: Having false hope, feeling over-medicated and numb, having no hope, are we ever hopeless? What is the fruit of the messages you hear? What about Hell? Does your view of God make you happy? Follow Max on Instragram:   https://www.instagram.com/100_oddspiders   Follow me on Instagram:   https://www.instagram.com/jareddiehl8/          

Time for another AMA with Jesse! First, Randy asks what it means to be rich, leading to an interesting evaluation of personal values, goals, and circumstances. Jesse explores relativity, “keeping up with the Joneses”, and what it means to have “enough”. Then, Bob asks about the potential tax burdens on beneficiaries and heirs, and Tom wonders whether some tax savings are worth the effort of logistical complexity. The fourth question comes from regular listener, Yogi, asking about the role of bonds in diversifying a portfolio. Jesse gets into the details of which bonds are which, which financial goals they're good for, and when you should consider other options. To wrap up the show, Hector asks about the “buy, borrow, die” strategy employed by the ultra-wealthy: buy appreciating assets, borrow against them for liquidity without selling, and pass them to heirs with a stepped-up cost basis, avoiding capital gains taxes.  If you'd like a question in a future AMA, send Jesse a message! Tune in next week for the 100th episode celebration!   Key Takeaways:• Wealth varies based on individual values and circumstances. It's less about achieving a specific number and more about feeling secure and content with your resources. • The tax burden of inherited IRAs is based on the beneficiary's income and tax bracket, which can differ significantly from the original contributor's tax savings. • Decisions like Roth conversions depend on whether the potential tax savings justify the added effort and complexity for an individual. • Bonds provide stability and dependability for short-term goals. Short-duration, high-quality bonds like U.S. Treasuries are less sensitive to interest rate changes and offer more reliability. • While effective for minimizing taxes, the “buy, borrow, die” strategy involves risks such as margin calls, regulatory changes, and the cumulative cost of loan interest potentially outweighing benefits. • Wealth strategies should focus on understanding and minimizing tax liabilities without excessive risk, avoiding overly aggressive tax avoidance tactics.   Key Timestamps:(02:17) Question 1: What Does It Mean to Be Rich?

Jordan Grumet, AKA Doc G, returns to the podcast to share the difference between “Big P Purpose” and “little p purpose” and why you should pursue the seemingly less significant latter. Bringing together his experience in hospice care and finance, Jordan shines light on how we can create our purpose through personal growth and the pursuit of passions, rather than grandiose goals. Jordan calls these activities that bring joy "purpose anchors," which can be discovered through reflection and exploration. By engaging in these meaningful pursuits, individuals create positive ripple effects, fostering generational growth and leaving lasting legacies. This reframing of purpose as a process-driven journey encourages embracing life's uncertainties and finding fulfillment in the present. If you're hard at work, saving and investing, and still feeling uncertain about what it's all for, this is the perfect episode for you. Jordan brings actionable advice to big questions. Key Takeaways: • What's all this financial planning really for? • The difference between “big P Purpose” and “little p purpose”, and why you should pursue the latter. • How thinking about your regrets, the joys of childhood, and work can help you develop a purpose. • Engaging in your purpose each day, no matter how insignificant it may seem at the time, will change the world. • How “money scripts” pass on from generation to generation. • Don't worry about legacy, just do things that light you up.

The Carnival talks with long time long time Rochester New York music promoter and chef Susan Plunkett!

Jesse kicks today's show off with a monologue on the importance of having the right temperament for investing - it's not really about intelligence at all. Emotional stability and disciplined decision making outweigh expertise and intelligence when investing. The Dunning-Kruger effect and the paradox of choice are also highlighted, emphasizing the need to prioritize action over perfection in personal finance. For the second half of the show, Dr. Brad Klontz, Co-Founder of the Financial Psychology Institute and author of Start Thinking Rich, joins to discuss “money scripts”, which are subconscious beliefs about money inherited from previous generations, our society, or other people we're surrounded by. Throughout the conversation, the duo dispels myths about wealth, and makes a distinction between being “poor” (a limiting mindset) and being “broke” (a temporary financial state). The conversation gets deep into the stories we tell ourselves, how we present money, and how to adopt an internal locus of control and make lifestyle changes.  This episode is a must listen for anyone wanting to explore their own “money scripts” and rethink the way they talk to themselves - and others - about money. Key Takeaways:• How the Dunning-Kruger effect is affecting your investing decisions. • The difference between a satisficer and a maximizer - and why you may want to be the former. • What is a “money script”? And how can you change yours? • The patterns you may have inherited from even your great grandparents. • Consider how you rank on the following four patterns: avoidance, worship, vigilance, and status. • Research backed psychological insights about your relationship with money.

Talking solo, Jesse tackles two important, ever-present investing questions in today's monologue. Should I try to time the market? How do I beat the market? The truth is, the timeless advice stands: diversify your portfolio, steer clear of speculation, and invest early and often. Diversifying is like buying the haystack, rather than looking for the needle, because, the truth is, you probably won't find the needle. Speculative stock-picking is like picking out some straw and hoping it'll turn out to be the needle. To illustrate the benefits of consistent investing - rather than attempted market timing - Jesse tells the tale of Bad Timing Bill, Normal Nick, and Good Timing Gary. Bill and Gary both tried to time the market. This episode is packed with insight you'll want to return to again and again. Key Takeaways: • Don't look for the needle in the haystack. Buy the haystack. Most stock pickers stumble into success. • There's no such thing as skilled stock picking because we can never know the entire market. • Just because a business is massive and visible, doesn't mean it will forever make good decisions. • How to sort out a fair price for something. A good burger isn't worth 100 dollars! • What are CAPE and PE ratios? • The story of Bill, Nick, and Gary: Why you shouldn't try to time the market.  Key Timestamps:(00:00) The Best Interest Year in Review (08:02) The Evergreen Question: Is Now the Right Time to Invest?

This week we have one of the finest shows from the Fall tour of 1985. This comes to us from Rochester New York on November 7, 1985. The opening 'Dancing In the Street' is strong and cohesive - we can tell we are in for a special night. The 'Dire Wolf' presents Jerry in fine voice. While Bobby is a bit cheesy on 'CC Rider' the 'Loser' that follows is excellent. The country 'Mama Tried'>'Mexicalli Blues' is a great lead in to a rockin' 'Cumberland Blues'.  While 'Beat it On Down the Line' is also tight and well-played, the set closing 'Deal' is a tad fast, but still always a nice set closer..      Grateful Dead Community War Memorial Auditorium Rochester, NY 11/7/1985 - Thursday One      Dancing In The Street Dire Wolf C C Rider Loser Mama Tried > Mexicali Blues Cumberland Blues Beat It On Down The Line Deal   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod110824.mp3  My sincere thanks for your kind support and well wishes!!

What are the long-term gains of educated investment decisions? The COVID pandemic triggered fear and uncertainty, with many wanting to sell everything amid the stock market's 30% drop. However, disciplined investors maintained their perspective and followed their investment policy. This approach, coupled with proper financial planning, often results in a stronger portfolio after market crashes, helping investors avoid costly mistakes. In contrast, a friend who sold his business for $10 million was initially hesitant to invest in the stock market due to a lack of education, but with advice to seek higher yields and follow a well-planned asset allocation strategy, he increased his earnings from 0.05% to 4.5% annually. Throughout Jesse's monologue, he highlights examples where educated, deliberate, and disciplined decisions helped grow people's portfolios and prepare them for their long-term goals. Joe Saul-Sehy of Stacking Benjamins, returns to the podcast for the second half of the show. Jesse and Joe each brought 5 questions to ask before retirement - ideally long before retirement. Alternating, back and forth, they discover how few of these questions are about money. Sound investment and retirement planning isn't just about the number going up, but also about what you're going to do with the money you accumulate. Many of us plan to enjoy plenty of golfing during retirement, but, who among us can say we'd like to golf every day for 20 years? Join Jesse and Joe on an exploration of the questions you need to ask when planning your retirement.   Key Takeaways:• Have you taken your mental and physical health into consideration when planning your retirement years? • How long do you expect to be retired? And what do you plan to do with your time? • Find something you can passionately be involved in during your retirement years. • Why “chasing kids” isn't a great retirement plan. • How to simplify your savings plan and make the most of it. • What engineers can teach us about planning for the unknown unknowns.   Key Timestamps:(02:14) - Jesse's Monologue: Putting a Dollar Sign on Financial Planning (07:23) - Car Loan Decision Making (08:24) - Backdoor IRA Contributions (10:11) - Choosing the Right Home Location (14:01) - Understanding Cash Balance Plans (20:48) - Interview: Joe Saul-Sehy (22:08) - Top Questions for Retirement Planning (37:40) - Creative Solutions for Health Insurance in Retirement (39:20) - Behavioral Aspects of Investing (41:26) - The Fee Wars and Financial Planning (45:36) - Asset Allocation and Investment Choices (48:45) - Health and Healthcare in Retirement (53:05) - Maintaining Relationships in Retirement (57:46) - Protecting Yourself in Retirement (01:01:06) - Giving Back to the Community (01:07:58) - Conclusion and Podcast Information   Key Topics Discussed:The Best Interest, Jesse Cramer, Rochester New York, financial planner, financial advisor, wealth management, retirement planning, tax planning, personal finance, retirement lifestyle, FIRE lifestyle, mental health, physical health   Mentions:Website: https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-saul-sehy-b3426b31/ What Retirees Want: A Holistic View of Life's Third Age by Ken Dychtwald and Robert Morison Keys to a Successful Retirement: Staying Happy, Active, and Productive in Your Retired Years by Fritz Gilbert   More of The Best Interest:Check out the Best Interest Blog at bestinterest.blog Contact me at jesse@bestinterest.blog The Best Interest Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.
