Podcast appearances and mentions of Rube Goldberg

In this episode, Patrick McKenzie reads his essay about the financial infrastructure that makes buying windows painless. When a window installer can originate, underwrite, and fund a $25,000 loan in 15 minutes before leaving your house, it's because four parties—window companies, facilitating platforms, specialized banks, and capital providers—have built a system that actually works. Patrick explains how modern consumer lending learned from 2008 to create better underwriting, clearer compliance, and properly distributed risk, all in service of enabling commerce in the real economy.–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/home-improvement-lending/–Sponsor: MercuryThis episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

Final Destination 3 marks the point where the series' once-ingenious death-trap premise starts to feel a bit mechanical. The franchise's formula — a character foresees a horrific accident, cheats Death, then scrambles to outwit its unseen design — is intact but beginning to show its age. The opening roller-coaster disaster is spectacularly staged, yet it's also a reminder that we've seen this all before, only with diminishing returns. There are still flashes of the dark humor that made the earlier entries work, particularly in some of the elaborate kill sequences. But here the film seems oddly unsure of whether it wants to play things straight or wink at its own absurdity. Gone is much of the gleeful self-awareness that made Final Destination 2 such a fun, macabre ride; instead, FD3 leans harder into teen angst and pseudo-philosophical dread. Mary Elizabeth Winstead does her best to ground the chaos with a solid performance, and the inventive set-pieces — especially the infamous tanning bed scene — keep things intermittently lively. Still, the connective tissue between the deaths feels more like an obligation than a thrill, with dialogue that takes itself far too seriously for a film about Rube Goldberg-style fatality. By the time Death checks off its last victim, Final Destination 3 feels less like an inevitability and more like repetition. It's not bad, just tired — a middle entry coasting on the momentum of its predecessors rather than carving out a fresh reason to exist.

What happens when music, art, and technology collide in the hands of a true innovator? In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I sit down with Damian Kulash Jr., frontman and co-founder of OK Go, the Grammy-winning band known for turning creativity into spectacle. From dancing on treadmills to performing in zero gravity, OK Go has redefined what a music video can be, transforming pop songs into visual experiments that blend engineering, art, and unfiltered joy. Damian opens up about the punk roots that shaped his DIY approach to innovation and the thrill of breaking rules in pursuit of authenticity. He reflects on how the band's viral experiments were never about chasing clicks but about creating something so unexpected and so human that it makes people stop and feel wonder again. From silk-screening posters in art school to building massive Rube Goldberg machines in warehouses, his creative journey reveals how experimentation and emotion power real innovation. Together, Damian and I explore how art and technology can amplify empathy, why authenticity resonates more than virality, and how collaboration remains humanity's best innovation. We discuss the parallels between creative risk-taking and corporate invention, the need for radical cooperation in an AI-driven world, and why OK Go's work continues to spark curiosity and connection around the globe. This conversation is full of laughter, honesty, and creative insight, reminding us that innovation does not always come from the lab or the boardroom. Sometimes, it comes from a garage, a camera, and a belief that wonder itself can change the world.  

On the fifteenth night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister and our buddy, Zack, join me in reviewing FINAL DESTINATION 3 (2006) and THE FINAL DESTINATION (2009).  In FINAL DESTINATION 3 (2006), directed by James Wong, from a script by Glen Morgan, James Wong and Jeffrey Reddick, a high school student's premonition of a catastrophic roller coaster derailment saves her and a group of friends from the deadly accident. The student soon discovers that photographs taken at the amusement park contain cryptic clues about how Death is planning to kill the survivors in Rube Goldberg-style accidents. Despite their efforts to save the marked individuals, Death proves unstoppable, ultimately claiming all the protagonists in a second, unforeseen mass disaster.   The film clocks in at 1 h and 38 m, is rated R and we caught the film on HBO Max but you can also catch it to buy/rent on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.The fourth film in the series, THE FINAL DESTINATION (2009), is directed by David R. Ellis from a script by Eric Bress and Jeffrey Reddick.  The film follows a college student's vision of a massive, deadly pile-up at a stock car race allows him and his friends to escape the grandstand moments before it collapses.  The group of survivors quickly learns that they are all on Death's list, with the initial order of their demise confirmed by the order of their subsequent horrific, over-the-top deaths.  Racing against time and premonitions, the student attempts to save the remaining group from a series of elaborate accidents, only for Death's original design to catch up to the final survivors in a sudden, brutal climax.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 22 m, is rated R and we caught the film on HBO Max but you can also catch it on AMC+ but also to buy/rent on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#FinalDestination3 #TheFinalDestination #SplatterHorror #SupernaturalHorror #Horror #Thriller  @HBOMax @amcplus @PrimeVideo  ⁠⁠#31DaysToHalloween #SpookySeason #Day15  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

On the fourteenth night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister and our buddy, Zack, join me in reviewing FINAL DESTINATION (2000) and FINAL DESTINATION 2 (2003).  In FINAL DESTINATION (2000), directed by James Wong, from a script by Glen Morgan, James Wong and Jeffrey Reddick.  The film follows a high school student who cheats death when a premonition prompts him and several classmates to get off a doomed flight moments before it explodes. Death, an unseen supernatural force, begins hunting the survivors in the order they were meant to die, using a series of elaborate, Rube Goldberg-like accidents.   The film clocks in at 1 h and 38 m, is rated R and we caught the film on HBO Max but you can also catch it to buy/rent on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.The sequel, FINAL DESTINATION 2 (2003), directed by David R. Ellis from a script by J Mackye Gruber, Eric Bress and Jeffrey Reddick.  The film follows a new group of people who are saved from a massive highway pileup after a young woman has a terrifying premonition of the crash.  Realizing they are "loose ends" from the first film's disruption of Death's design, the new survivors—with help from the original's sole survivor—race to find a "new life" loophole to permanently break the chain.  Despite their best efforts to intervene and sacrifice themselves, the deadly design proves inescapable, ultimately claiming most of the survivors in creatively brutal fashion.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 30 m, is rated R and we caught the film on HBO Max but you can also catch it to buy/rent on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#FinalDestination #FinalDestination2 #SplatterHorror #SupernaturalHorror #Horror #Thriller  @HBOMax  @PrimeVideo ⁠⁠#31DaysToHalloween #SpookySeason #Day14  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

As our spooky month of scary movie reviews rolls on, we're checking out the newest installment in the horror series that made every millennial afraid of log trucks; Final Destination. Bloodlines is serving Rube Goldberg machines of doom to the next generation, with plenty of nods to its legacy. Can death be outsmarted? Maybe. But not in the presence of an MRI machine.   Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

In the 1950s, the avant-garde music scene in New York and the movie studios of Los Angeles might have seemed like opposite ends of a cultural spectrum. But they came together (and blew apart) when MGM hired Louis and Bebe Barron to write the score for the sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet. It was the first all-electronic score for a Hollywood film, but not everyone was ready for the future of film music. I talk with Louis' son David Barron, composer Dorothy Moskowitz, University of Chicago associate professor Jennifer Iverson, and broadcaster and writer John Cavanagh about how the Barrons built a Rube Goldberg-style electronic music studio long before electronic music could be generated with the push of a button -- and why it took decades for their work to be fully appreciated. Thanks to Thomas Rhea (author of Electronic Perspectives: Vintage Electronic Musical Instruments) for permission to use audio from his 1998 interview with Bebe Barron.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay just got off a plane because they had a scary premonition, and then decided to talk about the first installment in a surprisingly hilarious horror franchise, 'Final Destination.' Bombay starts off the "I'm never gonna die" teenage hubris discussion by recalling a running joke he and a friend had in high school about memorial services for fellow classmates who met a grisly end. Then the fellas safety-proof their homes before talking about the film with a premise that was initially mined from an X-Files spec script. This installment in the franchise is almost quaint compared to how ludicrous it would become, but all the tenets are there of wild Rube Goldberg-style deaths, to gut busting lines about youngsters hoping to cheat death. The boys recap their favorite deaths, including the "You can just drop f***ing dead" bus scene that features a Nine Inch Nails song about reaching your final destination. Plus, they recap times in their youth where they narrowly avoided death, and try desperately to make sense of Ali Larter's hot girl goth-welder character. This episode will leave you laughing in the face of death. 

Sometimes horror doesn't need a killer in a mask—it just needs gravity, leaky plumbing, and a loose screw. This week Pete, Tommy, Kynan, and Chelsea dive headlong into the beautifully deranged contraptions of fate in the Final Destination series. We zero in on films one, two, five, and six, skipping the middle entries (with Chelsea reluctantly leaving her beloved roller coaster behind) to track how the franchise evolved from eerie paranoia to glossy spectacle—and sometimes back again.What makes these films so uniquely unnerving? They erase the safe distance of supernatural slashers and drop death right in our kitchens, on our highways, and even at the optometrist. From the infamous log truck pile-up in Final Destination 2 to the unexpectedly brilliant twist of Final Destination 5, the series keeps daring us to see everyday objects as lethal Rube Goldberg machines. Along the way, we debate the rules of death (are they rules or just improv?), celebrate Tony Todd as the connective tissue of the franchise, and wrestle with whether the overpolished look of Bloodlines makes its gore more cartoonish than chilling. And yes, we all pick our favorite kills—expect airbags, bathtubs, and gymnastic mats to come up in conversation.It's a franchise that's as much about philosophy as phobia—existential dread wrapped in popcorn horror, where the fun lies in watching fate toy with its victims like a sadistic game master. Whether you love the paranoia of not knowing which object will strike next or the catharsis of absurd spectacle, Final Destination has a death with your name on it. Join us, as we laugh, squirm, and admit how these movies have ruined car rides, kitchen appliances, and even snow globes forever.Featured FilmsTonight's Quadruple Feature:Final Destination 1 - Apple TV | Amazon | LetterboxdFinal Destination 2 - Apple TV | Amazon | LetterboxdFinal Destination 5 - Apple TV| Amazon | LetterboxdFinal Destination Bloodlines - Apple TV | Amazon | Letterboxd

The Mouths of Madness are hard at work during the Summer of Madness on a machine that would make Rube Goldberg proud!

While the case Uncle Pabai Pabai and Uncle Paul Kabai brought against the Commonwealth to Australia's Federal Court found the Federal Government does not owe a duty of care to prevent climate change impacts on Torres Strait Islanders, the judgement was not without a judicial side-eye at past governments' climate targets—“window dressing” and “no regard for science” were phrases that made it into the ruling. This excellent summary from Adam Morton at the Guardian is worth a read.Further afield, what started as a grassroots campaign from Pacific Island students led to a unanimous advisory opinion from the UN's highest court. Their view? States have binding obligations to protect the climate—and yes, they could be held liable for climate damages. The implications?

Your intrepid hosts levelled-up on acronyms (HEFA, ATJ, FT, and PTL, anyone?) and zeroed in on aviation, freight, and mining as the big targets for low carbon, liquid fuels. And speaking of zeroes. These fuels are so expensive - like $1,000 to $5,000 per tonne of CO₂ abated expensive - this report had Luke feeling bullish on green hydrogen!

Life is like a box of chocolates. Sometimes surprise and change gets the job done, other times it's the road less traveled and other times it's simplicity and execution.

Final Destination 2 is a symphony of stupidity—and I mean that as a compliment. It's the kind of gloriously dumb horror sequel that knows exactly what it is, knows exactly what you came for, and wastes not a single moment trying to be anything more. This is 90 minutes of elaborate, Rube Goldberg murder machines soaked in blood and irony, gleefully cooked up for maximum squirm, scream, and laugh-out-loud shock value. It's dumb, it's low-brow, and it's absolutely perfect at being both. The movie wastes no time setting the tone: a now-iconic highway pile-up that feels like someone gave Michael Bay a box of Hot Wheels and told him to film a snuff film. From there, the film doesn't bother with character development beyond “this one's kind of a jerk” and “that one's probably doomed” because it has better things to do—namely, assembling ludicrous, overly complex death scenes like it's competing in a sadistic engineering contest. The real star isn't any of the humans, it's the absurd chain reactions involving ladders, air bags, barbed wire, and a spaghetti of fate that could only exist in this series. What sets Final Destination 2 apart from other gore-porn offerings is its laser focus. It has a mission—deliver karmic, over-the-top death scenes wrapped in a thick coating of schlock—and it executes (pun intended). There's no meandering subplot, no slow-burn psychological twists. It's pure horror junk food: bloody, crunchy, and instantly satisfying. The movie also dials up the black comedy with every scene, letting the audience lean into the absurdity. It knows you're laughing at it, and it wants you to laugh harder. And let's talk karma—because this sequel adds an extra little spice to the kills. Everyone who gets got sort of had it coming, and the movie leans into this with a smug wink, giving the audience permission to cackle through the carnage. There's something almost therapeutic about watching these characters try to outmaneuver Death while it patiently flexes its Final Destination “gotcha” muscles. It's a greasy, gory good time, and unlike many horror sequels, it actually delivers what it promises—nothing more, but certainly nothing less.

This week, I cashed in a Hall Pass and picked a sequel that's part slasher, part tropical fever dream — "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer." With a new entry in the franchise on the horizon, there's no better time to revisit the wild ride that is winning a mysterious trip to an abandoned island resort during hurricane season.To help unravel this Rube Goldberg chain of Hook Man chaos, we brought back our horror sequel expert Chris Egan. We cover everything from:Why you maybe should tell your family before skipping townThat weird dummy in the roadJeffrey Combs crushing it as the creepiest hotel manager everThe world's worst resort staffAnd of course...

Remember the days of arcades filled with quarters jingling in your pocket? The satisfaction of finally beating that impossible level after dozens of tries? The Power Point Podcast crew takes you on a nostalgic journey through gaming history while exploring what's capturing their attention today.Jim reveals his ongoing obsession with Retro Mania Wrestling, a pixel-perfect throwback to arcade wrestling games that's about to release exciting DLC featuring legends like Macho Man Randy Savage. Meanwhile, Keith shares how racing games have become a competitive family affair in his household, with his daughter mysteriously dominating every time trial despite his best efforts. Scott confesses his frustration with overly complex control schemes, championing simplicity in gaming design that lets players focus on fun rather than memorizing button combinations.The conversation winds through cherished memories of classic board games—Mousetrap's elaborate Rube Goldberg contraptions, Operation's nerve-wracking buzzer (which the hosts lament isn't as shocking in modern versions), and Perfection's anxiety-inducing timer. There's a shared concern that today's digital-native children are missing out on these analog experiences, with many preferring to watch others play games on YouTube rather than engaging directly. As one host puts it: "Kids aren't using their imagination anymore."From arcade experiences to the emerging frontier of virtual reality gaming, the discussion showcases how gaming continues to evolve while still fulfilling our fundamental desire for play, competition, and escape. Whether you're a casual gamer, a dedicated enthusiast, or someone who hasn't picked up a controller in years, this episode will rekindle your appreciation for the universal joy of games.Tune in to hear about Black Sabbath's epic final concert, upcoming collaborations with other podcasts, and which childhood games still haunt the hosts decades later.

It's Independence Day here in the USA, but if you're not a fan of fireworks and hot dogs, Elliot and Dan's rundown of the best hacks of the week is certainly something to celebrate. Rest easy, because nothing exploded, not even the pneumatic standing desk that [Matthias] tore into, nor the electroplated 3D prints that [H3NDRIK] took a blowtorch to. We both really loved the Ploopiest knob you've ever seen, which would be even Ploopier in anodized aluminum, as well as an automatic book scanner that takes its job very seriously. We looked into the mysteries of the Smith chart, another couple of fantastic student projects out of Cornell, the pros and cons of service loops, and what happened when the lights went out in Spain last Spring.

Tony Todd makes his final scene. Final Destination Bloodlines Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Greg Alba and Roxy Striar react to Final Destination: Bloodlines, the highly anticipated return to one of horror's most iconic franchises! This sixth entry introduces a new cast while tying into the terrifying legacy of the series. Starring Brec Bassinger (Stargirl, Bella and the Bulldogs), Teo Briones (American Horror Story, Chucky), Kaitlyn Santa Juana (On My Block), Richard Harmon (The 100, The Killing), and Anna Lore (Titans, They/Them), the film follows a new group of victims attempting to cheat death — but death has its design. We revisit Final Destination's infamous rules, build-up suspense, and explosive kills, including gruesome new set-pieces inspired by the franchise's legacy. Popular returning themes include premonitions, Rube Goldberg-style setups, and that signature paranoia. We discuss how Bloodlines connects to Final Destination (2000), Final Destination 2 (2003), Final Destination 3 (2006), The Final Destination (2009), and Final Destination 5 (2011), exploring where it fits in timeline-wise and tonally. Fan-favorite death scenes still trending on YouTube include the “Highway Pileup Crash” (FD2), “Gymnast Death” (FD5), “Tanning Bed Scene” (FD3), and “Bridge Collapse” (FD5), and we compare how Bloodlines stacks up. Whether it's escalator terror, eye-surgery nightmares, or loose construction equipment, we analyze the most creative and brutal kills in Bloodlines and how it honors the legacy of Tony Todd's iconic Death character.

Let us know your thoughtsBuckle your seatbelt, keep your eyes on the runway, and whatever you do, don't mess with fate. This week on The Horror Cut, Stephen and Gary take a hair-raising ride through the death-defying chaos of 2000's Final Destination.We're breaking down the original film that made us all paranoid about tanning beds, plane turbulence, and rogue logs on the highway. From its Rube Goldberg-style death sequences to its twisty take on destiny, we're diving into the flick that turned the Grim Reaper into the ultimate micromanager.Is Final Destination a brilliantly original concept that redefined supernatural horror, or just a series of elaborate freak accidents tied together by teen angst? Either way, death has a plan… and it doesn't like being skipped.IG - @thehorrorcutshow | @HewittGPro | @StephenkerrActor_Performer FB - Facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573701383591

From tanning bed to tire blowout, we're diving headfirst into the Rube Goldberg-ian chaos of these mid-franchise entries. Is FD3 a scream-worthy ride, or just coaster-themed cringe? And is The Final Destination truly the final destination—or just a 3D detour on the road to ridiculousness?

"Ye intruders beware.Crushing death and grief,Soaked with blood,Of the trespassing thief."With that ominous passage inscribed upon a map, the timeless adventure of The Goonies begins. And what an adventure it is! Equally influenced by golden age of Hollywood swashbuckling pirate movies like Michael Curtiz's Captain Blood, vintage movie serials that also inspired the likes of Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Carl Barks' classic Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics, The Goonies is almost a literal thrill-a-minute film. Packed with (sometimes literal) cliffhangers, subterranean mazes, maps, mysteries, and traps. So many traps! The kinds of traps you might associate with classic Scooby-Doo cartoons but brought to live action with stunning realism and peril all with a Rube Goldberg flair. Traps that wouldn't be out of place in producer Spielberg's Indiana Jones franchise, made all the more perilous because it's a cast of kids being put in danger.So when it came time for us to think up a concept to celebrate the (wanna feel old?) 40th anniversary of The Goonies, we had two choices: It was either the traps or how it's possible that Cyndi Lauper could turn what could have very easily have been a mediocre soundtrack cash-in like “The Goonies ‘R' Good Enough” into a piece of songwriting perfection…or the traps.  We went with the traps. And considering how much ancient history is riddled with real life deathtraps, well…you might be surprised at what we find when we start delving in to the mechanisms of these devices. It's not just whether they work…it's whether they would still work hundreds of years later!Watch the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…if you're good enough…https://youtu.be/-b-Pm2yTHYMSUGGESTED VIEWING Seen The Goonies? Good, go watch it again. Haven't? Go watch it twice. You can thank us later.But also, you might want to check out a couple of other ‘80s classics that are part of this film's DNA. The Goonies falls somewhere on the spectrum between Steven Spielberg's (who produced this film) all-timer Raiders of the Lost Ark and Rob Reiner's R-rated coming of age quest movie Stand By Me. You might also want to check out The Monster Squad as a film which tried to mimic this movie's magic in a different context. And of course, its legacy is felt pretty keenly in Stranger Things…FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do!There are two key ingredients to the traps as depicted in The Goonies, both of which are very rooted in real life: the legacy of Rube Goldberg and the actual security measures from ancient tombs and structures.Rube Goldberg MachinesYou might not realize it, but you know what a Rube Goldberg Machine is. If you ever saw a Looney Tunes cartoon where some absurdly complicated device with many steps performs a simple task (usually set to this distinctive music) then you're already familiar. And while reading about Rube Goldberg and his bizarre creations is one thing (which you can do here) you really should see them to get the full effect.“Tomb Security”The trope that everyone is familiar with thanks to everything from Indiana Jones movies to Pirates of the Caribbean to DuckTales is…mostly true! Maybe not in terms of giant boulders being triggered to roll over you, but in lots of other ways.Usually, these are depicted as part of some kind of “curse” that befalls would-be grave-robbers. Other times they are based in the very real discovery of what appear to be unfortunate human sacrifices. In all cases, these “security measures” are part of elaborate attempts to keep sacred sites undisturbed. And in one, there's even an “army” standing guard…if only they moved!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?The allegedly final installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise is in theaters now and we examined an iconic moment from its past!Final Destination Bloodlines is here and we went back to the very beginning to examine the central concept of the franchise.

While the podcast's plan was to get out to see the new Final Destination: Bloodlines installment currently in theaters, that didn't happen. So instead we thought it would still be beneficial to go back to where it all began with 2000's Final Destination. We talk about the more simplified Rube-Goldberg devices, the aggressive '90s/'00s experience, the common trope of kids living without parents, and more!

Synopsis In this installment of Final Destination a young woman named Iris defies death while on a romantic date with her boyfriend saving many lives. But death wont be cheated so easily. These sleepy citizens may have lived to see another day, but fate is on a mission to hunt them down. Years later, Iris's children and grandchildren are caught in the crosshairs as death creeps along their bloodline leaving them in…shall we say…sticky situations.  Review of Final Destination: Bloodlines I have never been a fan of the final destination movies. They have one gimmick, and they stick to it no matter what which usually leaves me counting the remaining survivors in an attempt to guess how much longer I have to sit there and watch the movie. I was pleasantly surprised by this film. Don't get it wrong folks, it is exactly the same gimmick as before, but I felt like this movie uses a little more charm than other Final Destination movies I've seen. There are multiple nods and winks to the audience as the film sets up laughably stupid death scenes, just to pull back and be like “just kidding. You really thought we would kill the character off with this stupid trick?” Only for the rug to be pulled as another equally as stupid death scene unravels in a bloody mess. It subverted my expectations a couple times and genuinely caught me off guard with some horrific events that I did not see coming. The red herrings keep the movie interesting, as you can never really know when something is about to happen. The camera is zooming in on this warning label showing a man being crushed by a vending machine. Is that important? No. But for a second you thought it was. The deaths are gruesome but somehow look kind of real. These movies have a history of showcasing the most elaborate Rube Goldberg death scenes that while creative have never felt interesting to me. But this movie felt different. I really liked every death in the movie and I think its worth going to the theatre to experience them on the big screen.  Score 7/10

Death appears completely unqualified to do its job. It should apply for a cabinet position in the government. Hey yo! "Final Destination" starts with an intriguing premise for an X-Files episode – a group of high school students narrowly escape a plane explosion thanks to a premonition, only to find themselves stalked by Death itself in the aftermath. It's a clever setup, but the movie drags its feet getting to the fun part. The initial plane disaster sequence is drawn out like it's gunning for an Oscar in tension building, but instead, it feels like a slow crawl through a TSA line. The characters spend far too much time brooding about fate and existential dread before the real fireworks begin. Once the film finally lets loose and the Rube Goldberg death traps start rolling, it hits a much better stride. Each subsequent demise becomes more absurd than the last, delivering the kind of schlocky, over-the-top fun that horror fans crave. There's a certain perverse joy in watching the universe bend itself backward to off these characters in increasingly elaborate ways, as if Death took a weekend workshop in improvisational murder. It's the kind of movie that practically demands a group viewing, where half the fun is shouting predictions at the screen like a demented game of Clue: "It was the faulty microwave cord in the kitchen with the poorly placed puddle!" The cast, led by a moody Devon Sawa and a wildly underused Tony Todd, struggles to make the clunky dialogue feel meaningful, but the real stars here are the death scenes themselves – more creative than the writing and far more memorable than any of the actual characters. By the time the movie throws subtlety to the wind in its final act, it's gone from "grim supernatural thriller" to something closer to a darkly comic carnival ride. In the end, "Final Destination" is a mixed bag – sluggish at the start but ultimately rewarding if you hang in there. It's a popcorn horror flick that knows how to make an audience wince, cringe, and occasionally cackle at the sheer audacity of its kills. Would I watch it again? Sure, but only if I'm in the mood to laugh at Death's clumsiest attempts at efficiency.

You've probably seen Rube Goldberg machines — those ridiculous setups where a marble rolls down a track, flips a switch, lights a match, and somehow makes toast. They're fun to watch… but terrible for actually getting anything done.That's how most automations feel when you're first starting out: over-engineered, fragile, and hard to maintain. But real business-saving automations? They don't need to be complicated. In fact, some of the ones that save me the most time are stupidly simple.In this episode, I walk through three automations I actually use — starting with a single-app setup inside Notion, moving to a form-to-database connection, and ending with a wild (but wonderful) workflow that ties together a whole bunch of tools. And yes, that last one does feel like a Rube Goldberg machine… but it works beautifully.If you want to see how these work or grab templates, head to casabona.org/automation.Top TakeawaysStart with simple, single-app automations.

Visit our Substack for bonus content: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/rewind-ok-go Aarron and Eli are traveling with their families for Spring Break, so we're bringing back one of our favorite episodes from 2023 with the band OK Go. In the time since we recorded the interview, they've come out with a new album, and with several new music videos, including for the track Love, shot with no cuts…just “mirrors, robotics, and a whole lot of planning.” Enjoy! *** Not many bands hire Russian pilots to film a Zero-G video on their cosmonaut training plane, known as the “vomit comet”. But those are the kinds of extremes that OK Go will go to in the pursuit of creativity. Tim Nordwind and Damian Kulash, the band's founders, met at camp as pre-teens in search of a fellow creative nerd, and founded the band in 1998. Over the past 25 years, they've created 3 Grammy-nominated music videos, and won Best Music Video for Here It Goes Again. From the perfectly timed explosions filmed in slow-motion for their song The One Moment, to the immensely elaborate Rube Goldberg contraption they created for This Too Shall Pass, OK Go is almost like a performance-art troupe that just happens to be a fantastic rock band. In this episode on the creative process, we talk to Tim and Damian about how they come up with ideas, the macro and micro elements of their creativity, and achieving the impossible. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

Episode 3079: Mr. 1500 reflects on the surprising reality of fulfilling a lifelong dream, owning an Acura NSX, only to realize that the joy of possession fades faster than expected. The mental burden of maintaining an expensive car, combined with a shift toward financial flexibility and simplicity, led to the decision to sell. Letting go brought more peace than regret, reinforcing the idea that true happiness isn't found in material things. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.1500days.com/why-we-sold-our-fancy-car-the-acura-nsx/ Quotes to ponder: "The pursuit is often more fun than the ownership of it." "In the end, the most important reason is that it just didn't bring us happiness anymore." "There is beauty in simplicity. An internal combustion engine is a Rube Goldberg machine compared to an electric motor." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
