Podcasts about Romanus

Romanus and I bear witness to the dawn of black-busters. Writer/Director Ryan Coogler returns with his first original film filled with spectacle, horror, humor, action, and romance. Sinners is a film worth endless discussion, and we here at Loose Leaf Media have plenty to say about it.

The White Lotus has finally returned for its third season. Romanus and I have plenty of words for it as we dive into each character faction of this anthology.

ORIGINAL AIR DATE: MARCH 20, 2013Tonight we spoke with Cris Putnam of the Logos Apologia Blog. We are happy to have some time with him as he is of high demand of late due to the resignation of the old Pope and the election of the new. We talk about the history of the Vatican, the St. Malachy Prophecy and the Vatican's interest in baptizing E.T.sYou can buy Cris' book here:http://www.amazon.com/Exo-Vaticana-Romanus-Vaticans-astonishing-exo-theological/dp/0984825630/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363825673&sr=8-1&keywords=exo-vaticanaContact us:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Conspirinormal/445112635502740conspirinormal@gmail.com

His name, Benedictus, means "Blessed" in Latin. He was born in 480 in Nursia, a small town northeast of Rome. He had only rudimentary schooling: he wrote later of his fear that through book-learning he might 'lose the great understanding of my soul.' At an early age he fled to a monastery where he was tonsured; he then withdrew to a remote mountain, where he lived or several years in a cave, perfecting himself in prayer. His only food was some bread brought to him by Romanus, the monk who had tonsured him. When he became known in the area, he fled his cave to escape the attentions of the pious; but flight proved useless, and in time a community of monks formed around him. He was granted many spiritual gifts: he healed the sick and drove out evil spirits, raised the dead, and appeared in visions to others many miles away.   Benedict founded twelve monasteries, most famously that at Monte Cassino. Initially, each monastic house had twelve monks, to imitate the number of the Twelve Apostles. The Rule that he established for his monks was based on the works of St John Cassian and St Basil the Great, and became a standard for western monasteries. Thus he is sometimes called the first teacher of monks in the West.   Six days before his death, the Saint ordered that his grave be opened, gathered all his monks together, gave them counsel, then gave his soul back to God on the day that he had predicted. At the moment of his death, two monks in different places had the same vision: they saw a path from earth to heaven, richly adorned and lined on either side with ranks of people. At the top of the path stood a man, clothed in light and unspeakably beautiful, who told them that the path was prepared for Benedict, the beloved of God. In this way, the monks learned that their abbot had gone to his rest.

Romanus kicks off the new season of Loose Leaf Media with his segment: Roms-Rom-Coms. Catering to the season of romance, we start by discussing the generation-defining 40-Year-Old Virgin and all of its crude, sweet, hilarity.

Romanus and I reflect on our favorite cinematic moments of 2024. The past year had a lot to offer for the theatrical experience, but we had to break down those that profoundly impacted us.

This morning on The Greg and Dan Show, Constance Romanus the President of the League of Women Voters gave us a call. Ms. Romanus gave us a call to talk about some of the upcoming events the league is hosting in February.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Romanus and I reflect on how we began this podcast and contemplate what we look forward to discussing over the next year.

THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta)@andoryukesuta The sound of a nu metal band arouses the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt from a lengthy slumber, and he proceeds to take over as their lead singer. Achieving international success with the ensemble, which he names The Vampire Lestat, and having revealed the existence of vampires, he taunts his own kind during an interview to advertise his first and only live concert. Jesse Reeves, a researcher for the paranormal studies group Talamasca, is intrigued by his lyrics upon hearing one of his songs play on TV and tells the other members her theory that he really is a vampire. Her mentor, David Talbot, explains to her they already know of his identity and donates Lestat's journal that he recovered so that Jesse can read it, but warns her against pursuing Lestat. In the journal, Lestat recalls that in the winter of 1788, he was brought to a Mediterranean island and vampirized by Marius de Romanus, formerly a talented painter, and his violin playing awoke Akasha, the first vampire. Increasingly intrigued, Jesse tracks Lestat down to a London vampire club called The Admiral's Arms, where he saves her from three vampires and confronts her about Marius. Visiting Lestat in Los Angeles, Marius warns him that the other vampires will not tolerate his flamboyant public profile; he reveals that Lestat's music has awakened Akasha and unsuccessfully implores him to cancel his concert. Meanwhile, Akasha arrives at the coven, looking for Lestat. After the vampires reveal their plan to kill him at his concert, she torches the club and kills all the vampires inside. Arriving in Los Angeles, Jesse gives Lestat his journal back and asks him to show her what being a vampire is like. He scoffs at the idea, but she convinces him to spend time with her. She later enquires if he can convert her, expressing her desire to be with him and know everything he does. He angrily declines, demonstrating how a vampire preys on human blood before asking her if she truly wants to become one. Lestat is attacked by a group of vampires at his concert in Death Valley, and Marius aids him in defeating most of them until Akasha arrives and promptly carries Lestat with her to her home on an island resort. During their period of sexual intercourse, he becomes spellbound and subservient to her. Jesse awakens in the house where she lived as a child, in awe at the sight of her aunt, Maharet, who later reveals herself as a member of the Ancient Vampires. Fearing Akasha's plans for world domination, the Ancient Vampires decide to destroy her by draining her blood. However, they believe that whoever drinks her last drop will not survive. Akasha confronts the Ancient Vampires and interrupts their meeting, with Lestat, empowered by her blood, accompanying her. When they refuse to side with her, Akasha commands him to kill Jesse, seeing her both as an enemy due to being Maharet's descendant and as food, with Akasha planning to make an example out of her to dissuade disobedience. He ostensibly obeys, but after drinking Jesse's blood, comes to his senses and is released from Akasha's controlling influence. He demands his "crown", and as Akasha openly offers him her arm to feed on, he then turns on her and, aided by the Ancients, begins to drain her blood, diminishing her power; he goes to Jesse and, cradling her in his arms, donates his blood to her as Maharet, who has effectively killed Akasha by drinking her last drop of blood, turns into a marble statue and "sleeps", becoming the new Queen of the Damned.

In the ten years since Christopher Nolan released Interstellar, it has become a cinematic cult classic. Romanus and I took the opportunity to see it in an IMAX theater, which led to a theatrical experience unlike any other. Mild spoilers are included.

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the First Week of Advent Lectionary: 177The Saint of the day is Saint John DamasceneSaint John Damascene's Story John spent most of his life in the Monastery of Saint Sabas near Jerusalem, and all of his life under Muslim rule, indeed protected by it. He was born in Damascus, received a classical and theological education, and followed his father in a government position under the Arabs. After a few years, he resigned and went to the Monastery of Saint Sabas. He is famous in three areas: First, he is known for his writings against the iconoclasts, who opposed the veneration of images. Paradoxically, it was the Eastern Christian emperor Leo who forbade the practice, and it was because John lived in Muslim territory that his enemies could not silence him. Second, he is famous for his treatise, Exposition of the Orthodox Faith, a summary of the Greek Fathers, of which he became the last. It is said that this book is for Eastern schools what the Summa of Aquinas became for the West. Third, he is known as a poet, one of the two greatest of the Eastern Church, the other being Romanus the Melodist. His devotion to the Blessed Mother and his sermons on her feasts are well known. Saint John Damascene’s liturgical feast is celebrated on April 30. Reflection John defended the Church's understanding of the veneration of images and explained the faith of the Church in several other controversies. For over 30 years, he combined a life of prayer with these defenses and his other writings. His holiness expressed itself in putting his literary and preaching talents at the service of the Lord.

On our 25th episode. Romanus and I discuss Ridley Scott's new historical epic: Gladiator II.

This week, Romanus and I discuss the new religious thriller, Heretic. This is a film that was not heavily marketed yet managed to plant its feet in the 2024 film conversation. So, how did we feel about it?

"Saint Romanus was a deacon and exorcist in the Church of Caesarea in Palestine. He happened to be at Antioch in 303 when the Emperor Diocletian's edicts for the general persecution of Christians were published. He could not bear to see so many Christian men, women and children denying their faith in the true God for fear of suffering. As they went to sacrifice to the idols, he ran up, consumed with zeal for righteousness, crying shame on them with a loud voice. He was immediately arrested and brought before the city Prefect. He faced interrogation boldly and to prove the stupidity of the pagan cult, he asked for a child to be brought in, taken at random from the crowd in the public square. Romanus enquired of the lad whether it was more sensible to worship the one and only God and Creator of the world, or the many gods of the pagans. Showing himself wiser than the pagans, the child unhesitatingly decided for the God of the Christians. The Prefect flew into a rage at being made to look ridiculous and ordered the young confessor to be put to the torture straight away in the presence of his mother. The child endured the torments without flinching but told his mother he was thirsty and wanted a drink. '0 my dear son', the admirable woman answered, 'do not drink corruptible and temporal water, but keep up your courage so as to drink living and eternal water in the Kingdom of God!' The child was beheaded, and Saint Romanus was condemned to be burnt to death. He welcomed the sentence joyfully, and with a shining face was led unresistingly to the stake. Since the Emperor was in the city, the executioners awaited his decision before lighting the fire and the valiant Martyr exclaimed at the delay, 'Where is the fire that is prepared for me?' But the execution was stayed so that he could be brought before the Emperor in person. Aware that Christians rejoice over the death of a Martyr as the entrance to everlasting life, the tyrant wanted to increase the suffering of Christ's athlete by delaying the moment of deliverance. He ordered the executioners to tear out his tongue, which Romanus freely offered, and he miraculously went on praising God and encouraging the faithful after it was cut away. After this torment, he was imprisoned for a long time in chains until the Emperor's birthday. This was celebrated all over the Empire and a general release of prisoners was customary. But Romanus was not freed; with his feet crushed in the stocks, he was secretly strangled in his dungeon and thus received the adornment of martyrdom, as he had desired."(Synaxarion)

Sean Baker has cemented himself as one of this generation's strongest voices as a filmmaker. His newest film, Anora, is especially distinct for its screwball romantic-comedy style, and Romanus and I had to talk about it.

Romanus and I express our personal histories with Saturday Night Live as we talk about the new biographical comedy Saturday Night. Like the show, this movie uses an ensemble cast that plays iconic cast and crew members of SNL's first broadcast episode.

Romanus and I have many thoughts about Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 adaptation of Dracula. It's a unique film that's equally a perfect Halloween-time film and an experimental experience.

Romanus and I pay tribute to Alfred Hitchcock, the Master of Suspense. The Birds is considered a timeless classic that still offers much to offer as a horror film.

Romanus and I look at one of horror auteur Wes Craven's many classics. A postmodern satire on the slasher genre, Scream is a horror film that fully lets the viewer in on itself.

Romanus and I express our love for Matt Reeves' The Batman, and our history with Batman literature. We are kicking off our Halloween series with an illegitimate entry that, in our opinion, more than qualifies.

On our second retrospective review, join Romanus and I as we dive into our opinions of rom-com films through the lens of one of our favorites: Hitch. We discuss our favorites of the genre, make crude Seinfeld jokes, and pitch ideas for Hitch 2.

Romanus and I discuss the financial and production qualities of our summer watchlist. From Furiosa to Trap, the summer of 2024 gave us plenty of surprises for better or worse.

Romanus and I break down the latest release in the Alien franchise. Alien: Romulus brings the series back to its horror roots with a new vision from the filmmaker Fede Álverez.

Romanus and I have a lengthy discussion on the second season of House of the Dragon. The world of Westeros has been a pop-cultural phenomenon for well over a decade now and we felt it deserved adequate time for both of our thoughts. This second season of the Game of Thrones spin-off offered many moments worthy of conversation.

Romanus and I wrap up talking about M. Night Shyamalan this summer with his new thriller Trap. It turns out we had a lot to say about this one.

Romanus and I have waited a long time to dive into the past two decades of comic book films. What better entrance strategy for this discussion than an adjacent review of Deadpool & Wolverine? We discuss where the sub-genre's hysteria began, where the saturation shifted, and what direction it should take going forward. This review is spoiler-free.

Romanus and I passionately break down one of this summer's biggest blockbusters, Twisters. While our expectations differed, we were surprised by how we felt about this popcorn flick independently.

Amidst the notable marketing campaign, Romanus and I braved the dark web of shadows that is Longlegs - a film that will stick with us for years to come. Check out our spoiler-free thoughts as we dive into what makes this an especially frightening experience.

Today, Romanus and I dive into the abstract and surreal with Yorgos Lanthimos' newest film Kinds of Kindness. Anticipation for this movie was high so naturally a long discussion would follow.

I forced Romanus to see Midsommar for the first time. It had a re-release in IMAX leading us to a discussion on not just the film, but our personal feelings on the horror genre. Full spoilers for the entire movie.

Today, Romanus and I journey back to the 1960s American Midwest to discuss The Bikeriders. Writer/Director Jeff Nichols returns after a 7-year hiatus to debut this film that we were fortunate enough to catch an early screening of. This review features an unexpected philosophical discourse and Romanus making a near-perfect impression of Austin Butler.

On today's special Juneteenth episode of Loose Leaf Media, Romanus and I deep dive into all four Bad Boys movies. While we partially discuss the virtues of black action heroes, our review today leads us into farcical thoughts regarding the careers of this franchise's two leads.

Today, Romanus and I venture to the Wasteland to discuss Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga!We are also excited to introduce the Leaf Pile, a new way for you, our listeners, to interact with us. Send us your questions, and we'll answer one each week on the podcast. Tune in each week to see if your question is chosen from the Leaf Pile and answered by us. To participate, just send an email to looseleafmedia95@gmail.com.

Today, Romanus and I go back to the late 1960s to discuss the Planet of the Apes franchise right after watching the new film, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Spoilers during the last third of our overview.

Romanus and I go in-depth on Alex Garland's new film Civil War. Here we discuss the themes, technical elements, and performances of this dense examination of current America's soul.

Rome contends with the Etruscan city of Veii and the Volscian city of Artena. Will they win the day with the support of Servius Romanus?

He had only rudimentary schooling: he wrote later of his fear that through book-learning he might 'lose the great understanding of my soul.' At an early age he fled to a monastery where he was tonsured; he then withdrew to a remote mountain, where he lived or several years in a cave, perfecting himself in prayer. His only food was some bread brought to him by Romanus, the monk who had tonsured him. When he became known in the area, he fled his cave to escape the attentions of the pious; but flight proved useless, and in time a community of monks formed around him. He was granted many spiritual gifts: he healed the sick and drove out evil spirits, raised the dead, and appeared in visions to others many miles away.   Benedict founded twelve monasteries, most famously that at Monte Cassino.

The Rule that he established for his monks was based on the works of St John Cassian and St Basil the Great, and became a standard for western monasteries.

At the top of the path stood a man, clothed in light and unspeakably beautiful, who told them that the path was prepared for Benedict, the beloved of God.
