Nothing screams the early '90s more than a Tom Clancy thriller, and The Hunt for Red October (1990) might just be the finest adaptation of the bunch. This week on Born to Watch, we take a deep dive into Cold War tension, Sean Connery's questionable Russian accent, Alec Baldwin's finest non-30 Rock performance, and why this film still makes waves decades later. And yes, we're calling this the definitive The Hunt for Red October 1990 Review.It's all systems go as Whitey, G-Man, and DJ Strangles man the periscope and dive deep into this submarine classic. From the moment Connery's Ramíus announces his defection plan to the epic underwater cat-and-mouse chase, the boys break down what makes this a tight, thrilling, and surprisingly rewatchable flick.We cover everything: from Connery's incredible second-act career run (is Red October peak Connery?), to Alec Baldwin's short but strong tenure as Jack Ryan, to the underrated gravitas of Scott Glenn and Sam Neill. Add in a stellar supporting cast that includes Tim Curry, James Earl Jones, and Stellan Skarsgård, and you've got a Cold War nail-biter filled with testosterone, torpedoes, and tense moral decisions.There's time to unpack the politics, too, the Clancy realism, the U.S. Navy flex, and that juicy little nugget of 1990s pre-internet espionage fantasy. But of course, it's not all sonar pings and missile tubes. The crew gets sidetracked (as always) by tales of sub dreams, questionable airline bear policies, and Damo's beer-and-hot-dog benchwarmer story.The team also revisits the box office and critical legacy of The Hunt for Red October. Was it Oscar-worthy? How do the effects hold up in 2025? Is this really the best Jack Ryan movie? Spoiler: the debate gets passionate, and there's no clear winner between Baldwin, Ford, Affleck, Pine, and Krasinski, but there is a winner for worst submarine hygiene. Cigarettes below deck? Not a good time.With classic Born to Watch segments like “Overs and Unders," "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly,” and a brilliant fan voicemail, this episode has something for every cinephile, Cold War nerd, and nostalgic '90s action fan.So fire up the Caterpillar Drive, crank the Basil Poledouris score, and set your course for one of the most unexpectedly hilarious and insightful takes on a certified action-thriller classic.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs The Hunt for Red October the greatest Jack Ryan movie?Should smoking on submarines be an executable offence?Did Jack Ryan seriously buy a business class seat for a teddy bear?Drop us a voicemail at https://www.borntowatch.com.au and tell us if this Cold War classic is a certified banger — or just blowing smoke.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.

Fun fact, this podcast was going to originally be a deep dive into the Bond universe, where we watched and discussed all of the movies and related content. You read that right, all of it. Thankfully, Puji changed his mind as he didn't want to completely torture Marbles and Rachel. We also have Erick joining us again as a special guest! you might be asking, why Erick?? Well just like Bond, he's got a special set of skills that make him perfect for the role. He just takes down bad movies instead of bad guys.You Only Live Twice (1967) is an action spy film staring Sean Connery as James Bond. During the Cold War, American and Russian spacecrafts go missing, leaving each superpower believing the other is to blame. As the world teeters on the brink of nuclear war, British intelligence learns that one of the crafts has landed in the Sea of Japan. After faking his own death, secret agent James Bond is sent to investigate. In Japan, he's aided by Tiger Tanaka and the beautiful Aki, who help him uncover a sinister global conspiracy."The bonds Name. James Name" Pleased to... what? "Bond Name's the james" Are you alright?

June 6, 1944 - a day history will never forget. After taking much of mainland Europe, wrecking havoc on civilian populations and propgating the largest genocide in history, Nazi Germany thinks itself nigh invincible. But on that stormy day in an area of France no one could contemplate, the biggest mililtary invasion in modern warfare changed the course of the war and the very future of planet Earth. John Wayne was also there (in spirit). Next week: escape! Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

It's hard to see Chris Wuergler as an action movie afficianato but she's brought us more action movies than anyone else. Trouble is, now she's brought us The Rock, a slam-bam action movie that makes no sense at all - at least according to Jim. Guest engineer Kristian Reimer tries to keep things on an even keel in this episode that's just about as crazy as the movie.

In this episode of Skip the Queue, host Paul Marden speaks with Andy Hadden, founder of the Lost Shore Surf Resort in Scotland. Andy shares the remarkable journey from his sporting background and early property career to discovering wave technology in the Basque Country, which inspired him to bring inland surfing to Scotland. Despite starting with no money and no land, Andy raised over £100 million and built one of the world's most advanced inland surf destinations. He explains how Lost Shore Surf Resort combines world-class waves with a strong community focus, sustainability initiatives, and partnerships with schools and universities to deliver real social and economic impact.Skip the Queue is brought to you by Rubber Cheese, a digital agency that builds remarkable systems and websites for attractions that helps them increase their visitor numbers.

Opened in November 2024 near Edinburgh, Lost Shore is the country's largest sports infrastructure project since the Commonwealth Games and now attracts a truly international audience of surfers, families, and brands. With a background in insolvency and investment surveying, Andy led the venture from concept to completion - securing major institutional backing and building a multidisciplinary team to deliver a world-class destination. Long before 'ESG' was a buzzword, he embedded environmental and social value into Lost Shore's DNA, helping set new benchmarks for responsible development. As home to the Surf Lab with Edinburgh Napier University, Lost Shore also serves as a global hub for performance, product R&D, and surf therapy. Live from the show floor, we'll also be joined by:Bakit Baydaliev, CEO/ Cofounder of DOF Roboticshttps://dofrobotics.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bakitbaydaliev/Hamza Saber, Expert Engineer at TÜV SÜDhttps://www.tuvsud.com/enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hamzasaber/David Jungmann, Director of Business Development at Accessohttps://www.accesso.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidjungmann/Kristof Van Hove, Tomorrowlandhttps://www.tomorrowland.com/home/https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristof-van-hove-2ba3b953/ Transcriptions:  Paul Marden: Welcome to Skip the Queue, the podcast about attractions and the amazing people who work with them. I'm your host, Paul Marden, and with my co-host Andy Povey and roving reporter Claire Furnival, we're coming to you from IAAPA Expo Europe. This is the first of three episodes from the show floor that will come to you over the next three days. Firstly, I'm joined today by Andy Hadden, the founder of Lost Shores Surf Resort.Paul Marden: Andy, tell us a little bit about your journey. You've opened this amazing attraction up there in Scotland where I was on holiday a couple of weeks ago. Tell us a little bit about that attraction. Why this and why in Scotland?Andy Hadden: Well, I grew up locally and I came from more of a sporting family than so much of a business family. My father was the international rugby coach for a while and I played a lot of sport. Paul Marden: Oh, really? Andy Hadden: Yeah, yeah. So we always had this thing about there wasn't enough facilities here in Scotland because Scotland is a place which doesn't necessarily have all the resources and the access to funds and everything else like that. But one thing we noted with, you know, if you created facilities, whether they be good tennis facilities, good 4G football pitches, whatever it was. It allowed the environment around it to prosper, the communities around it to prosper. And, of course, I was a charter surveyor by trade, so I worked in insolvency and then in investment. So I sold two sites to that market. Andy Hadden: But I always surfed. I always surfed. So whilst I was down in Birmingham in England, when I actually got an email in 2012 talking about some, you know, some surfy thing that might have been happening in Bristol, I called the head of destination consulting up and I said, 'this sounds like nonsense, to be honest', because I surf and you can't really be talking about real surfing waves here. It's got to be something, you know, different. He said, 'No, no, there's these guys in the Basque country.' So I took a flight over there and that day changed everything for me. Paul Marden: So what was it that you saw? Andy Hadden: I went to see what was back then a secret test facility in the mountains of the Basque Country. It was very cloak and dagger. I had to follow the guide and give me the email address. I found this all very exciting. When I went and actually saw this facility, I realised that for the decade before that, there'd been all these amazing minds, engineers and surfers working on what they believed could be, you know, a big future of not just the inland surfing movement that's now burgeoning into a multi-billion dollar global movement, but it could really affect surfing. And if it was going to affect surfing as a sport, and it's now an Olympic sport because of these facilities, they wanted to make sure that it was a very accessible piece of kit. So surfing, it could affect surfing if ran by the right people in the right ways and really communicate that stoke of the sport to the masses.Paul Marden: So what is it that you've built in Edinburgh then? Tell me a little bit about it.Andy Hadden: So we've delivered a wave garden cove, which is a 52-module wave garden, which is about the size of three football pitches, and it can run hundreds of waves an hour, touch of a button and it can run in skiing parlance anything from green runs right through to sort of black powder runs. And the beauty of it is you can have people that are the better surfers out the back and just like at the beach at the front you've got their kids and learning how to surf on the white water. So we're finding it to be a really amazing experience— not just for surfers who are obviously flocking to us, but already here in Scotland, eight months in, tens of thousands of new surfers are all coming back and just going, 'Wow, we've got this thing on our doorstep.' This is blowing our minds, you know. Paul Marden: Wowzers, wowzers. Look, I'm guessing that the infrastructure and the technology that you need to be able to create this kind of inland wave centre is key to what you're doing. That you've got to access some funds, I guess, to be able to do this. This is not a cheap thing for you to be able to put together, surely.Andy Hadden: Yeah, correct. I mean, you know, I have questioned my own sanity at times. But when I started 10 years ago, I had no money and no land. But I did have some property expertise and I wanted to do it in Edinburgh, a close-up place that I cared about. So we have excellent networks. For a few years, you know. Whilst we've ended up raising over  £100 million in structured finance from a standing start, it took me a couple of years just to raise £40,000. And then I used that to do some quite bizarre things like flying everyone that I cared about, you know, whether they were from the surf community or... Community stakeholders, politicians, and everyone over to the test facility to see themselves— what I could see to sort of—well, is it? Am I just getting carried away here? Or is there something in this? And then, on top of that, you know, we sponsored the world's first PhD in surf therapy with that first $5,000. So now we have a doctor in surf therapy who now takes me around the world to California and all these places. How does business actually really genuinely care about, you know, giving back? And I'm like, yeah, because we said we're going to do this once.Andy Hadden: We got to do it right. And it took us a decade. But yeah, we raised the money and we're very happy to be open.Paul Marden: So I mentioned a minute ago, I was holidaying in Scotland. I bookended Edinburgh— both sides of the holiday. And then I was in Sky for a few days as well. There's something about Edinburgh at the moment. There is a real energy. Coming up as a tourist, there was way too much for me to be able to do. It seems to be a real destination at the moment for people.Andy Hadden: Yeah, well, I think, coming from the background I came from, if I knew I was going to deliver a surfing park in the edge of Edinburgh, I then wanted to do it in the least risky way possible. So to do that, I felt land ownership was key and three business plans was also very key. Edinburgh's in need of accommodation regardless, and Edinburgh's also in need of good places, a good F&B for friends and family just to go and hang out on the weekends. And then, of course, you have the surfing, and we've got a big wellness aspect too. We also sit next to Europe's largest indoor climbing arena. And we're obviously very well connected in the centre of Scotland to both Edinburgh and Scotland. So, so many things to do. So, yeah, I mean, the Scottish tourism landscape has always been good, but it's just getting better and better as we see this as a future-proof marketplace up here. You know, we're not building ships anymore.Andy Hadden: Well, in fact, we got a contract the other week to build one, so maybe that's wrong. But the point is, we see it as a very future-proof place because the Americans are flagging, the Europeans are flagging, and they just want to feel like they're part of something very Scottish. And that's what we've tried to do in our own special way.Paul Marden: And when you think of coming to Scotland, of course, you think about surfing, don't you? Andy Hadden: Yes, who knows. Paul Marden: Exactly, exactly. Look, you had some recent high-profile support from Jason Connery, the son of the late James Bond actor Sean Connery. How did that come about?Andy Hadden: Well, I think we've got, there's a real Scottish spirit of entrepreneurialism that goes back, you know, probably right the way through to the Enlightenment where, you know, I'm sure. I'm sure a lot of you know how many inventions came from Scotland. And this is, you know, televisions, telephones, penicillin. I mean, just the list goes on.Andy Hadden: Of course, you know, that was a long, long time ago, but we still feel a lot of pride in that. But there seems to be a lot of people who've had success in our country, like someone like Sir Sean Connery. These guys are still very proud of that. So when they see something— very entrepreneurial— where we're using a lot of local businesses to create something bigger than the sum of its parts. And to do it truly— not just to be a profitable private business, which is what it is, but to give back 18 million into local economy every year, to work with schools in terms of getting into curriculums. We've got Surf Lab. We work with universities, charities, and so on. They really want to support this stuff. So we have over 50 shareholders, and they've each invested probably for slightly different reasons. They all have to know that their money is a good bet, but I think they all want to feel like they're part of creating a recipe. For a surf resort, which we believe there'll be hundreds of around the world in the next few years. And we can create that recipe here in Scotland. That's hopefully another example of Scottish innovation and entrepreneurialism.Paul Marden: So you've got the test bed that happened in the Basque Country. You've got Scotland now. Are there surf resorts like this elsewhere in the world?Andy Hadden: Yeah, there are eight other open in the world. There's actually, there's various technologies. So there's about 25 different surf parks open at the moment. But there's... doesn't under construction. Pharrell Williams has just opened one in Virginia Beach a few weeks ago there in America. And what the equity, I think, is looking at quite rightly, the big equity, you know, the type that go right, if this really is a, you know, kind of top golfing steroids in that property developers can look at them as.Andy Hadden: You know, excellent ways to get through their more standardised property place, residential, office, industrial. Usually they have to do that in a kind of loss-leading way. But if you look at this as a leisure attraction, which councils and cities actually want because of the benefits, and it makes you money, and it increases the prices of your residential around it. I think developers are starting to realise there's a sweet spot there. So the equity, the big equity, I think, is about to drop in this market over the next couple of years. And it's just waiting for the data set to enable them to do that.Paul Marden: Wow. I guess there's an environmental impact to the work that you do, trying to create any big... a big project like this is going to have some sort of environmental impact. You've put in place an environmental sustainability strategy before it was mainstream as it is now. Tell us some of the things that you've put in place to try to address that environmental impact of what you're doing.Andy Hadden: Well, we're in a disused quarry. So it was a brownfield site. So already just by building on it and creating an immunity, we're also adding to the biodiversity of that site. And we're obviously there's no escaping the fact that we're a user of energy. There's just no escaping that. So the reality is we've got as much sustainable energy use as we can from air source heat pumps to solar. And we're looking at a solar project. So it becomes completely self-sustaining. But we also, the electricity we do access from the grid is through a green tariff. But you'll see a lot of the resorts around the world, this is going to become the sort of, the main play is to become sort of sustainable in that sense. Where we really fly is with the S and ESG. And like you say, the reason we were the world's first institutionally backed wave park, of course, we like to think it was purely down to our financials. But the reality is, they started saying, 'Wow, you're as authentic an ESG company as we've come across.'Andy Hadden: And it's the same with our mission-based national bank. So, because we didn't really know what that meant, we just knew it was the right thing to do. So we fit squarely into that ESG category, which I know is a tick box for a lot of funds, let's face it. There's a lot of them that really want to do that. There's a lot of investors out there that want to do it. But let's understand our place in the system, which is we're really market leading in that area. And I think that's very attractive for a lot of funds out there. But the S in ESG is where we really fly with all the work we're doing socially around the site.Paul Marden: So talk to me a little bit about that. How are you addressing that kind of the social responsibility piece?Andy Hadden: Well, two examples would be we're not just looking at schools to come here to surf. That's an obvious one. They'll go to any attraction to surf if you could go to Laser Quest, go up to visit the castle, do whatever. But we reverse engineered it. We got schools coordinated to go around the headmasters and the schools and say, 'Well, Look, you're all teaching STEM, science, technology, engineering, maths, for 9 to 13-year-olds. And you're all looking for outdoor learning now, which is definitely a big part of the future in education in general. Can you allow us to create some modules here? So we've got six modules that actually fit into that STEM strategy. For instance, last week, there was a school in learning physics, but they were using surf wax on a surfboard friction.Paul Marden: Amazing.Andy Hadden: So these kids so it works for schools and headmasters which is very important and for parents and it obviously works for the kids and they love it and the reason we do that and we give that it's all at discounted low times and everything is because it's a numbers game they come back at the weekend and so on so that's example one and another would be we've created a surf lab with Napier University, a higher education. So we sponsored the world's first doctor. It got a PhD in surf therapy, but then the university was like, 'hold on a minute, you know, this is good marketing for us as well'.Andy Hadden: This surf lab, which has the infrastructure to host great competitions, but also PhD students can come down and learn engineering. They can learn sustainable energy. So we've got more PhD students working there. And this higher university collaboration has not only led to Alder kids coming down but other universities in the area are now what can we do with lost shore now that's cool and fun so we're working with the other universities in town too so that's a couple of examples alongside the standard, employing local people and actually having the economics of putting money into the local economy.Paul Marden: It's interesting, isn't it? Because... So for many people, ESG, and especially the social responsibility piece, feels a little bit worthy. It feels an altruistic move for the organisation to go and do those things. But you've hit on the quid pro quo what do you get back for doing all of this stuff well you're bringing in these kids you're enriching their learning, you're helping them to learn valuable skills but you're also giving them a taster of what life is like at the the resort and seeing the benefit of the return visits that flow from that is crazy.Andy Hadden: You know, I like to think we've fought as hard as anyone to ingrain this stuff in your DNA because we're year one. And of course, we have our cash flow difficulties like everyone does. You know, you don't know how to... run the place for the first three months or that's what it feels like even though you've done all this preparation and so on and so forth but at no point does anyone turn around and go let's get rid of the schools program let's get rid of the university partnership and that's why i think it's very important to build it into your dna because it doesn't have to be this zero-sum game that people attribute you know or we're giving here so that means we have to take over here it's like there's cute ways to do everything you can do the right thing but also drive traffic for your business and it's very good right. It's good reputation, because the people that stay there, when they see that we're doing this stuff, they feel like they're part of it, and then they want to book again. So I believe it doesn't have to be a zero-sum game, but it is a different way of creating a business— that's for sure.Paul Marden: For sure. So there's going to be a listener out there, I'm sure, with a crazy idea like you had a few years ago. What advice would you give for somebody just starting out thinking of opening a business in the leisure and attraction sector?Andy Hadden: I would just try your best to make it as simple as possible. I think it was Yves Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, who said, 'One of the hardest things in life is to make it simple. It's so easy to make it complex.' And when you're dealing with a business plan, it's very exciting, right? Well, what if we get into this market? What if we do this? And splitting it all into those components. I think arm yourself with very good people around you. They don't even have to be part of the company. If you've been a good person in your life, I'm sure you've got friends who you can tap into. Everyone knows an architect. Everyone knows an accountant. Everyone knows a lawyer. You're a friend of a friend. Andy Hadden: And I think just overload yourself with as much information to get you to the point where you can be assertive with your own decisions. Because at the end of the day, it's going to come down to you making your own decisions. And if you've got a very clear path of what success and failure looks like, understanding that it ain't going to look like your business plan. As long as it's got the broad shapes of where you want to go, it can get you out of bed every day to try and make things happen. So, yeah, just go for it. Really, that's it.Paul Marden: See where it takes you. So look, in the world of themed entertainment, we talk a lot about IP and storytelling and creating magical experiences. Are any of these concepts relevant to a destination like yours?Andy Hadden: Yeah, well, you know, technically, from an IP perspective, you know, we're using the WaveGround Cove technology. You know, we've purchased that. So from a strictly business perspective, you know, we have access to their sort of IP in that sense and we deliver that. But I think for us, the IP is the destination. It's so unique, it's so big that it becomes defendable at scale. So it does sound like a bit of an all-in poker hand. But it would be more risky to go half in because these things are very hard to build. But when they are built, they're also very hard to compete with. So as long as your customer experience is good enough. You're going to maintain a kind of exclusivity in your locality for long into the future. So, yeah, there's obviously IP issues in terms of technologies. But for us, it was all about creating a destination with three business plans that's greater than the sum of its parts. And if we can do that in our location, then it's very hard to compete against, I would say.Paul Marden: Andy, it sounds like such an exciting journey that you've been on. And one year in, that journey has still got a long way to play out, doesn't it? You must be on quite the rollercoaster. Well, surfing quite a wave at the moment, if I don't mix my metaphors so badly.Andy Hadden: Yeah, we're just entering maybe the penultimate phase of the sort of 20-year plan. You know, we've gone through our early stages, our fundraising, our construction. We've gone through the very hard sort of like getting the team together and opening year one. And we're just starting to go, 'OK, we understand we've got data now'. We understand how to run this place now. So I think we now want to push through to stabilise the next two or three years. And then hopefully we've got a lot of irons in the fire globally as well. Hopefully we can go to the next phase, but we'll see what happens. Worst case scenario, I just surf a bit more and try and enjoy my lot.Paul Marden: Well, Andy, it's been lovely talking to you. I've been really interested to hear what you've been up to. This was only a short snippet of an interview. I reckon there's some more stories for you to tell once you're into year two. So I'd love for you to come back and we'll do a full-on interview once you've got year two under your belt. How's that sound to you?Andy Hadden: Absolutely, Paul, and thanks very much for the platform.Paul Marden: Next up, let's hear from some of the exhibitors on the floor. Bakit.Paul Marden: Introduce yourself for me, please, and tell me a little bit about where you're from.Bakit Baydaliev: We have two companies located in Turkey, Istanbul, and Los Angeles, USA. We develop attractions, equipment, but not just equipment— also software, AI, and content, games, and movies. Paul Marden: Oh, wow. So you're here at IAPA. This is my very first morning of my very first IAAPA. So it's all very overwhelming for me. Tell me, what is it that you're launching at IAAPA today?Bakit Baydaliev: Today we're launching our bestseller, Hurricane. It's a coaster simulator. In addition to that, we're also launching a special immersive tunnel, Mars Odyssey. We're sending people to Mars, we're sending people to space, and the story, of course, may change. After you install the attractions, you always can create different kinds of content for this attraction. It's completely immersive and what is very unique for this attraction is edutainment. Theme parks, science centres, space centres, and museums all benefit from it. It's not just to show and entertain, but also educate and provide a lot of useful information for people. Paul Marden: So what would you say is unique about this? Bakit Baydaliev: There are several factors. First of all, it's equipment. We have a very special software that amazingly synchronizes with the content and it doesn't create motion sickness at all. Paul Marden: Oh, really? Bakit Baydaliev: This is very important. Independently on the speeds, which is... We have very high speeds in our simulators. In addition to that, we have special effects, unusual effects, which feel like cold, heat, sounds.Paul Marden: So it is truly 4D, isn't it?Bakit Baydaliev: Completely. In addition to that, it's interactive content. It's not just the content which you can sit and... watch and entertain yourself and get a lot of useful information, but also you can interact. You can play games, you can shoot, you can interact. And of course, the most important thing which makes this attraction innovative is the educational aspect.Paul Marden: I find that really interesting that you could see this ride at a theme park, but similarly you can see it as an educational exhibit at a science centre or space centre. I think that's very interesting.Bakit Baydaliev: Very, very. Especially, you know, the standard experience for space centres, science centres, and especially museums, it's just walking around, touch some stuff. Some you may not even touch it. It's exponents which you can watch, you can read, it's very nice. But it's even better when you let people live it in real with a nice simulation atmosphere environment, like immersive tunnel.Paul Marden: Absolutely. Bekit, thank you so much for joining us on Skip the Queue, and I look forward to enjoying one of the rides.Bakit Baydaliev: Please ride, and you will be amazed.Hamza Saber: My name is Hamza. I work for TÜV SUD Germany. Our main job is to make sure attractions are safe, parks are safe. We do everything from design review to initial examination of rides, to yearly checks and making sure that we push the standards and the norm to the next level and cover everything that comes in new in the industry as well to make sure this industry stays safe and enjoyable for people. Paul Marden: It's so important though, isn't it? At an event like this, you don't have a sexy stand with lots of really cool rides to experience, but what you do is super important.Hamza Saber: Yes, I guess it's not one of the big colourful booths, but it's at the heart of this industry. It's in the background. If you look at the program for the education, there is a lot of safety talks. There is a lot of small groups talking about safety, trying to harmonise norms as well. Because if you look at the world right now, we have the EN standards. We have the American standards and we're working right now to try to bring them closer together so it's as easy and safe and clear for all manufacturers and operators to understand what they need to do to make sure that their guests are safe at the end of the day.Paul Marden: So Hamza, there's some really cool tech that you've got on the stand that's something new that you've brought to the stand today. So tell us a little bit about that.Hamza Saber: So as you can see, we have one of the drones right here and the video behind you. So we're trying to include new technologies to make it easier, faster, and more reliable to do checks on big structures like this or those massive buildings that you usually see. You can get really, really close with the new technologies, the drones with the 4K cameras, you can get very, very precise. We're also working on AI to train it to start getting the first round of inspections done using AI. And just our expert to focus on the most important and critical aspects. So we're just going to make it faster, more reliable.Paul Marden: So I guess if you've got the drone, that means you don't have to walk the entire ride and expect it by eye?Hamza Saber: No, we still have to climb. So what we do is more preventive using the drones. So the drones, especially with the operators, they can start using them. And if they notice something that does not fit there, we can go and look at it. But the actual yearly inspections that are accepted by the governments, you still need to climb, you still need to check it yourself. So the technology is not right there yet, but hopefully we're going to get there. Paul Marden: We're a long way away from the robots coming and taking the safety engineer's job then. Hamza Saber: Yes, exactly. And they don't think they're going to come take our jobs anytime soon. Using technology hands-in-hands with our expertise, that's the future.Paul Marden: It must be so exciting for you guys because you have to get involved in all of these projects. So you get to see the absolute tippy top trends as they're coming towards you.Hamza Saber: Yeah, for sure. Like we're always three years before the public knowledge. So it's exciting to be behind the scene a little bit and knowing what's going on. We're seeing some really fun and creative ideas using AI to push the attractions industry to the next level. So I'm excited to see any new rides that will be published or announced at some point this week.Paul Marden: Very cool. Look, Hamza, it's been lovely to meet you. Thanks for coming on Skip the Queue.Hamza Saber: Yeah, thank you so much.Kristof Van Hove: My name is Kristof. I live in Belgium. I'm working for the Tomorrowland group already now for three years, especially on the leisure part.Paul Marden: Tell listeners a little bit about Tomorrowland because many of our listeners are attraction owners and operators. They may not be familiar with Tomorrowland.Kristof Van Hove: Yeah, so Tomorrowland is already 20 years, I think, one of the number one festivals in the world. Actually, already for the last years, always the number one in the world. And what makes us special is that we are not just a festival, but we are a community. We create. special occasions for people and it starts from the moment that they buy their tickets till the festival we make a special feeling that people like and I think we create a world and each year we work very hard on new team that goes very deep so not only making a festival but we go very deep in our branding not only with our main stage but we also make a book about it we make gadgets about it so it's a completely.Paul Marden:  Wow. Help listeners to understand what it is that you're doing new here at the moment. You're blending that festival experience, aren't you, into attractions.Kristof Van Hove: Yeah, that's right. So because we are already 20 years on the market building IP, the more and more we really are able to create a complete experience, not only the IP as a brand, but also all the things around it. We have our own furniture. We have our own plates. We create actually all elements that are needed to build a leisure industry project. And that makes it magnificent. I think we are capable now, with everything that we do in-house, to set up and to facilitate water park and attraction park projects completely. Paul Marden: So, have you got any attractions that are open at the moment? Kristof Van Hove: Well, we have the Ride to Happiness, of course, the coaster that is built in Plopsaland three years ago. That is already now for five years the number one steel coaster in Europe and the fifth steel coaster in the world. So this is a project we are very proud of. Besides that, we have already a lot of immersive experiences. And we are constructing now a secret project that will be announced in the beginning of next year somewhere in Europe.Paul Marden: Give us a little sneak peek what that might look like.Kristof Van Hove: It's not that far from here. Okay, okay, excellent. So it's more an outdoor day project that we are constructing. That for sure will be something unique. Excellent.Paul Marden: So look, you're already planning into 2026. Help listeners to understand what the future might look like. What trends are you seeing in the sector for next year?Kristof Van Hove: Well, I think more and more the people expect that they get completely a deep dive into branding. I don't think that people still want to go to non-IP branded areas. They want to have the complete package from the moment that they enter. They want to be immersed. With everything around it, and they want a kind of a surrounding, and they want to have the feeling that they are a bit out of their normal life, and a deep dive in a new environment. And I think this is something that we try to accomplish. Paul Marden: Wow.David Jungmann: David Jungman, I'm the Director of Business Development here at Accesso, based in Germany. I'm super excited to be here at IAPA in Barcelona. We're exhibiting our whole range of solutions from ticketing to point of sale to virtual queuing to mobile apps. And one of the features we're calling out today is our Accesso Pay 3.0 checkout flow, which streamlines donations, ticket insurance, relevant payment types by region on a single simple one-click checkout page.Paul Marden: What impact does that have on customers when they're presented with that simple one-click checkout?David Jungmann: Well, as you guys know, conversion rate is super important. The number of clicks in an e-commerce environment is super important. And because we're at IAAPA Europe, we've got guests here from all over Europe. Different regions require different payment types. And it's important to not overload a checkout page with like eight different types for, let's say, German guests, Dutch guests, Belgium guests, is to be able to only offer what's relevant and to keep it short and sweet. And then rolling in additional features like donations, ticket insurance and gift cards, stuff like that.Paul Marden: Amazing. So get your crystal ball out and think about what the world in 2026 is going to be like.David Jungmann: I think this year was a little bit soft in terms of performance for the parks, certainly in Europe, what we've seen. I think what that will mean is that maybe some will consider, you know, really big capex investments. But what that also means is they will get creative. So I envision a world where, instead of buying new protocols for 20 million, maybe some operators will start thinking about how can we make more out of what we've got with less, right? How can we be really creative? And I think there's a lot to uncover next year for us to see.Paul Marden:  Sweating their assets maybe to be able to extend what they do without that big CapEx project.David Jungmann:  Yes, how can we keep innovating? How can we keep our experience fresh? Without just buying something very expensive straight away. And I think that's what we see.Paul Marden: What is going to be innovating for Xesso and the market that you serve?David Jungmann: Well, for us, it's really about that streamlined, consistent guest experience, but also tying into things like immersive experiences, right, where you could maybe change the overlay of an attraction and feed in personalised information that you have for your visitors and collect it during you know the booking flow when they enter the venue and feeding that into the actual experience i think that's something i'm excited about.Paul Marden: I think that there is a missed opportunity by so many attractions. There's so much data that we build and we collect the data, but oftentimes we don't bring it together into a central place and then figure out the ways in which we want to use it. There's so much more you can do with that rich data, isn't there?David Jungmann: 100% exactly. And I don't just mean from a marketing perspective. I mean from an actual experience perspective. Let's say you ride through Dark Ride and all of a sudden your name pops up or your favorite character pops up and waves hello to you. That's the type of stuff you want to do, not just market the hell out of it.Paul Marden: Absolutely. Look, David, it's been so good to meet you. Thank you ever so much. And yeah, thank you for joining Skip the Queue. David Jungmann: Thanks, Paul. Have a great day at the show. Paul Marden: Isn't it great? I mean, we have got such an amazing job, haven't we? To be able to come to a place like this and be able to call this work.David Jungmann: Absolute privilege. Yes, absolutely.Paul Marden: Now, before we wrap up, Andy and I wanted to have a little chat about what we've seen today and what we've enjoyed. Why don't we sit down? You have clearly returned to your tribe. Is there a person in this place that doesn't actually know you?Andy Povey: There's loads. I've been doing the same thing for 30 years. Paul Marden: Yeah, this ain't your first radio, is it? Andy Povey: I'm big and I'm loud, so I'd stand out in a crowd. I mean, there are all fantastic things that I should put on my CV. But this is really where I feel at home. This industry continues to blow me away. We're here, we're talking to competitors, we're talking to potential customers, we're talking to previous customers, we're talking to people that we've worked with, and it's just all so friendly and so personally connected. I love it.Paul Marden: It has been awesome. I've really enjoyed it. Although I'm beginning to get into the Barry White territory of my voice because it's quite loud on the show floor, isn't it? Andy Povey: It is. It's actually quieter than previous shows, so I don't know why, and I don't know whether... Maybe I'm just getting old and my hearing's not working quite so well, but... You used to walk out of the show and you could almost feel your ears relax as they just stopped hearing and being assaulted, I suppose, by machines pinging and blowing.Paul Marden: It really is an assault on the senses, but in the very best way possible. Andy Povey: Absolutely, absolutely. I feel like a child. You're walking around the show, you're going, 'Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow.' Paul Marden: So what has been your highlight? Andy Povey: Do you know, I don't think I could give you one. It really is all of the conversations, the connections, the people you didn't know that you hadn't spoken to for two years.Paul Marden: So for me, my highlight, there was a ride that I went on, Doff Robotics.Andy Povey: I've seen that, man.Paul Marden: So it was amazing. I thought I was going to be feeling really, really sick and that I wouldn't enjoy it, but it was amazing. So I had Emily with the camera in front of me. And within 10 seconds, I forgot that I was being recorded and that she was there. I was completely immersed in it. And I came off it afterwards feeling no motion sickness at all and just having had a real good giggle all the way through. I was grinning like, you know, the Cheshire Cat. Andy Povey: A grinning thing. Paul Marden: Yeah. So, tomorrow, what are you looking forward to?Andy Povey:  It's more of the same. It really is. There's going to be some sore heads after tonight's party at Tribodabo. We're all hoping the rain holds off long enough for it to be a great experience. But more of the same.Paul Marden: Well, let's meet back again tomorrow, shall we? Andy Povey: Completely. Paul Marden: Let's make a date.Paul Marden: Thanks for listening to today's episode from IAAPA Expo Europe.

Repeat after me and say it with the coolest lisp in cinema: here beginneth the 687th Have You Ever Seen podcast. The Untouchables is one Brian De Palma's most-successful films is also the first one of his to be discussed around here in 9 years...and, after Carrie, only the 2nd in total. And he was great at violent gangster flicks. It's still the days of Prohibition in America and Al Capone runs the underground liquor trade. Sean Connery won his only Oscar playing an "Irish" beat cop who has all the answers about how to take down the filthy rich mob boss, who's played by Robert De Niro. Connery, Kevin Costner, Andy Garcia and Charles Martin Smith are the title heroes, who dirty their hands more than they ever intended. So spend this first day of autumn hearing about booze, bribes and slo-mo shootouts in The Untouchables. It's probably the Chicago Way, but it's definitely the Toronto way to subscribe to this podcast...and to not take your baby carriage to a train station at midnight.

Cara rugosa, nariz de porra, pelo rizado y gesto adusto. Un rostro habitualmente serio, tanto en la comedia como en el drama, y cuyos personajes tienen siempre ese toque de cinismo y sarcasmo que él ha convertido en su marca de fábrica. Bill Murray cumple 75 años y nosotros lo celebramos dándole un repaso a su carrera. Charlamos con el director de fotografía José Luis Alcaine, ganador del Goya en 5 ocasiones, que tiene una curiosa teoría sobre el Guernica de Picasso. La enfermera Ratched, aquella que hacía la vida imposible al personaje de Jack Nicholson en la película “Alguien voló sobre el nido del cuco” es la protagonista de nuestra sección “Esos tipos a los que nos encanta odiar” y en el serial de Bourbon dedicado al cine de aventuras tenemos esta semana un clásico de los años 70: “El hombre que pudo reinar” de John Huston, con unos geniales Michael Caine y Sean Connery.

By popular demand, we discuss John Boorman's notorious post-sexual-revolution fantasy freakout ZARDOZ (1974), in which Sean Connery in a red diaper reconnects a future dystopia with its loins.

Sam decides to throwback to his roots with a recap of the 1994 banger Highlander III: The Sorcerer. Or The Final Dimension. Or The Final Conflict. You decide. Which is actually Highlander II because it doesn't believe in aliens. Anyway, when Connor MacLeod…you know what, it doesn't matter because this is the exact plot of the first movie but with less Sean Connery, more Japanese trapeze artists, and ILLUSIONS. Did you think there could be only one? We're sorry, apparently there are more. Picture, if you will, MacLeod training with Ramirez (Mako) but with ILLUSIONS. MacLeod taking on The Kurgan (Mario Van Peebles) but with ILLUSIONS. MacLeod romancing (RIP) Brenda (Deborah Kara Unger) but with ILLUSIONS (and archeology). Adopted child? Check. Bad guy with road rage? Check. Fight on the catwalk (on the catwalk)? Check. The Quickening? Check. Yes, that's right. The Quickening is back and…better than ever? You thought MacLeod was the last immortal? Sucker. There are immortals for days. Immortals all over the place. Immortals you, and The Quickening, didn't even know existed. Join Danielle as she fails to recall the first movie entirely, which is fine since Sam goes on to recap it again for two hours, but now with special guest Filip from Mind Duck Books, because much like The Quickening…he's back, baby! Special thanks to friend of the pod and honorary co-host Filip from Mind Duck Books for joining us on this thrilling journey!

Icons represent ideas that are bigger than themselves.Myths are stories that represent ideas that are bigger than themselves.Archetypes are symbols of recognizable patterns of behavior.Letters of the alphabet are symbols (graphemes) that represents sounds (phonemes,) just as notes on a sheet of music are symbols that represent sounds.A role model is a personal icon, an archetype that you have chosen to emulate.The human brain loves symbols and patterns. This is why we embrace icons, myths, and archetypes.When we recognize a pattern that has been stored in our subconscious, we call it intuition. When we hear a pattern that has been repeated too many times, we call it a predictable cliché.Icons, myths, and archetypes evolve with each new generation.I was born in the 12th year of the 18-year Baby Boom generation that began exactly 9 months and 10 minutes after the end of World War II.Marilyn Monroe was the iconic sex symbol. The Statue of Liberty, Yankee Stadium, Yellowstone, and Woodstock were America's iconic places. Rolls Royce, Cadillac, Corvette, Camaro and Mustang were iconic cars. Tetris, Pong, and Pac-Man were iconic video games.The mythic stories of Baby Boomers were mostly about combat. Sometimes we fought the Indians of the Old West. Sometimes we fought the Germans, or the Japanese. We fought the Establishment. We fought for justice. Or we fought just to stay alive.And we always won.Our definitive male archetype in these mythic stories was rugged, brave, independent, and honorable. John Wayne, Paul Newman, Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery.Baby Boomer female archetypes were smart, pretty, and strong; Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Julie Andrews, Sophia Loren.Lots of movies ended with a wedding.These societal forces shaped the birth cohort known as the Baby Boomers.Gen-X was shaped by an entirely different set of icons, myths, and archetypes.Millennials had icons, myths, and archetypes that were all their own, as well.The Gen-Z cohort believes it is their responsibility to straighten out everything that the Boomers and X-ers screwed up.Gen-Alpha is determined to make their own decisions and decide for themselves what they want to do. They will be the vanguard of the next “Me” generation.Fortunately, there are elemental beliefs that bind us all together.It is upon those beliefs that successful customer-bonding ad campaigns are built. Openly name these beliefs and they lose their magic.If you claim to possess them, no one will believe you.EXAMPLES: Never claim to be honest. Just say something that only an honest person would say. Never claim to be a perfectionist. Just do something that only a perfectionist would do. Don't tell people that you are an author or a podcaster. Just give them a copy of your book. Invite them to be on your podcast.If you would win the hearts and minds of tomorrow's customers, this is what you must do:Imagine that you are standing face-to-face with three perfect customers and they are each looking into your eyes.The first one says, “Talk is cheap. Don't tell me what you believe. Show me.”The second customer says, “Tell me a true story that lets me know who you really are, including the price that you pay for being you.”Customer three says, “If you betray me after I have given you my trust, I will burn you down so hot that grass won't grow for 100 years.”Now you understand cancel culture. Frustration created it, and social media fuels it.People are looking for someone who really is...

The Nerds are back once again at the Geek Boutique and Mike comes loaded with tales to tell after a little journey to the big smoke and a brush with celebrity. Paul has been to the less impressive Derby, and Doug... well, Doug's never even at work these days, he's too busy watching movies! Topics of discussion include supervillain spin-offs, Sean Connery rises from the grave once again and Morgan Freeman talks the art of war. Elsewhere John Hollywood tells us he's a very naughty boy and the episode ends on a rant you need to hear to believe it, and it's not even from Mike! The 50ft Nerds: Woke AF

Welkom bij Nerd Culture #224, de Gamekings podcast waarin we weer diep in de wereld van films, series en alles geeky duiken. Deze week staan horror, nostalgie én gaming centraal. Jelle bespreekt de langverwachte 28 Years Later, Koos ging terug naar de cultklassieker Highlander en we checken het bizarre verhaal over hoe Steven Spielberg ooit een Call of Duty-film wilde regisseren maar werd afgewezen door Activision. Daarnaast behandelen we nieuws over Marvel Zombies, TRON: Ares, Nicolas Cage als John Madden en de eerste beelden van The Mandalorian & Grogu.Highlander ReviewKoos heeft zich deze week gestort op de cultklassieker Highlander en bespreekt in de podcast of de film de tand des tijds nog weet te doorstaan. De film uit 1986, met Christopher Lambert als de onsterfelijke Connor MacLeod en Sean Connery als zijn mentor, combineert fantasy, zwaardgevechten en de legendarische soundtrack van Queen. Maar hoe kijkt een moderne kijker naar deze mix van campy jaren '80-stijl en epische thema's over onsterfelijkheid? Eén ding is duidelijk: There can be only one!28 Years Later ReviewJelle heeft deze week 28 Years Later gecheckt, de langverwachte opvolger van Danny Boyle's baanbrekende 28 Days Later en 28 Weeks Later. De film pakt de draad decennia na de eerste uitbraak van het Rage-virus weer op en onderzoekt hoe de wereld er inmiddels aan toe is. Zijn de overlevenden erin geslaagd om een samenleving op te bouwen, of ligt er opnieuw totale chaos op de loer?In de podcast deelt Jelle zijn indrukken van de toon, de stijl en natuurlijk de spanning die de franchise altijd kenmerkte. Hoe verhoudt de film zich tot de intense, rauwe sfeer van het origineel? En voelt dit derde deel als een natuurlijke afsluiter van de trilogie of juist als een herhaling van zetten? Verwacht een eerlijke bespreking vol liefde voor het horrorgenre, maar ook kritische noten over waar de film de plank misschien misslaat.Activision wees Steven Spielberg af voor Call of Duty Stel je voor: een Call of Duty-film geregisseerd door niemand minder dan Steven Spielberg. Volgens Puck News gebeurde dat bijna, want Spielberg pitchte zijn eigen visie bij Activision. Met zijn Amblin-team en dealmaker Jimmy Horowitz had hij een voorstel klaar dat garant stond voor grootsheid, compleet met de beruchte “Spielberg Deal” — volledige creatieve controle, finale cut en zeggenschap over marketing. Maar juist dat was voor Activision een brug te ver. Het resultaat? Het plan ging de prullenbak in en Paramount kreeg de rechten.Dat maakt de vraag interessant: wat voor film hadden we gekregen als de regisseur van Saving Private Ryan zich over een van de grootste gamefranchises ooit had gebogen? Call of Duty is met meer dan 500 miljoen verkochte exemplaren en $30 miljard omzet een van de meest lucratieve entertainmentmerken aller tijden. Zonder Spielberg blijft het afwachten of de film dezelfde prestige kan neerzetten of slechts mikt op popcorn-spektakel.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #22400:00:18 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd?00:00:30 28 Years Later00:06:00 28 Years Later The Bone Temple (spoiler alert00:09:50 The Terminal List Dark Wolf00:12:29 Highlander00:27:00 Marvel Zombies Trailer00:29:30 Eyes of Wakanda gekeken00:30:25 Paramount koopt de rechten voor de Call of Duty film00:34:25 Steven Spielberg wilde dolgraag een Call of Duty film maken00:39:30 Nicolas Cage onherkenbaar als John Madden in biopic00:44:10 The Rock wil zich losbreken van typecasting00:54:28 Waarom het 15 jaar duurde voor een TRON sequel01:00:04 TRON: Ares Trailer01:02:45 Sony CEO geeft toe: “Je komt niet meer weg met slechte superhero films”01:11:00 Channing Tatum zal z'n performance als Gambit flink terugschroeven01:14:15 James Gunn onthult Man of Tomorrow01:18:00 Back to the Future re-release op 13 november in de bioscoop01:21:20 Ga stijlvol de feestdagen in01:23:54 Eerste beelden van The Mandalorian & Grogu01:26:06 Black Phone 2 Trailer

We're cracking open The Big Book of British Bonds, where every page is shaken, not stirred.

AUGGIE SMITH AKA THE T-1000 IN STUDIO!! With Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 3 now out, James Gunn Man Of Tomorrow Announced, Greg Alba sits down with legendary actor Robert Patrick (James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgment Day) for a candid, career-spanning conversation. Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order We get into the many T2 restorations (theatrical vs 4K/3D re-release, what version he recommends, screening it at Cameron's studio during Avatar work), theatrical culture today, and how Patrick's craft evolved from the Roger Corman days through The Sopranos (David Chase), The X-Files (Agent John Doggett), Cop Land, Walk the Line (James Mangold), and beyond. He opens up about fatherhood, faith, and building flawed men with humanity (from Peacemaker's Auggie Smith in S1 to the very different Auggie of Peacemaker Season 2), plus on-set stories of John Cena's insane work ethic, ad-lib prep, and learning instruments. We also touch on early movie memories with his dad (2001: A Space Odyssey, Sean Connery's James Bond), acting process (prep vs spontaneity, Benedict Cumberbatch's Hamlet), working alongside Sylvester Stallone (Tulsa King), Harrison Ford, and Joaquin Phoenix, and why storytelling is the ultimate empathy machine. If you love Terminator 2, DC's Peacemaker, prestige TV, and acting deep dives, this one's for you.

Di Sean Connery si potrebbe tranquillamente dire che è un uomo che si è fatto da solo. Di origine modeste, si è sperimentato in ogni tipo di lavoro, prima di affermarsi nel mondo del cinema.Una bella storia di successo, da ripercorrere attraverso alcuni dei suoi film più celebri.

Send us a textThis week on @Knuckleball Prime Time brought to you as always by The Barn, we're joined by PGA professional, radio host, St. Louis golf ambassador, and now author, Jay Delsing. With the Stifel Charity Classic teeing off this week at Norwood Hills Country Club, Jay gives us an inside look at what makes this event one of St. Louis' premier sports traditions.We dive into Jay's brand-new book You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You with a foreword by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, where he shares his journey from growing up in North County and caddying at Norwood as a kid to 25 years on the PGA TOUR. From playing alongside Tiger Woods to flying “Air Nicklaus” and rubbing shoulders with icons like Sean Connery and Steven Spielberg, Jay's stories bring golf history to life.We also break down the unique atmosphere of golf in a baseball and hockey town, what sets Norwood Hills apart, and why St. Louis crowds rival the best in sports. Plus, Jay talks about the tournament's charitable impact, the legends in the field like Ernie Els, Bernhard Langer, David Duval, Stewart Cink and also the O.A.R. concert that make the Classic more than just golf.

Zo is on one of his visits to the National Gallery of Art looking at beautiful artifacts found all over the world. Where are these things found and what ordeal does one go through to collect these priceless treasures? Zo imagines that it would take people with considerable resources, knowledge and grit. He had once read about a famed archeologist who risked life and limb and journeyed to the four corners of the Earth in order to retrieve forgotten treasures in an effort to share his finds with the citizens of the world. Through these artifacts he hoped to enrich the lives of everyday people and teach them about far flung cultures and lost civilizations. There was even a rumor that this archologist nearly lost his life looking for the actual Holy Grail, and that this distinguished gentleman, Dr. Henry Jones, Sr. was saved from death by the efforts of his son, a renowned archeologist in his own right, and their mutual friends. Though Dr. Jones, Sr. named his only son after himself, his son never appreciated the moniker of "Junior" and would rather be known as "Indiana" Jones and this was their last crusade. Episode Segments00:08:04 Opening Credits for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade starring Harrison Ford, Sean Connery and Alison Doody00:15:52 Favorite Parts of the 1989 film: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade00:52:11 Trivia from the fantasy adventure: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade00:58:19 Critics' Thoughts on Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade #HarrisonFord #SeanConnery Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Hoy tenemos un programa especial de cara a la Navidad en el que, por supuesto, pasaremos olímpicamente de la Navidad, pero en el que os haremos un regalo: Una hora más de programa. Comenzaremos con el 25º aniversario de LOS INMORTALES, la película protagonizada por la mirada “perdonavidas” de Christopher Lambert y con un carismático y ¿españolizado? Sean Connery. Como colaborador encargado de aportar información y pura nostalgia estará el Coronel Kurtz. Después analizaremos una nueva saga de videojuegos destinada a convertirse en clásica, ASSASSINS CREED. Junto a Marc Rollans Funspot (Funs), presentador del programa amigo Game Over, nos arrojaremos desde la más alta atalaya con el fin de profundizar en una franquicia que está llamada a triunfar en escenarios que están más allá de las plataformas de videojuegos. Esperemos que haya un carro de paja aguardándonos a ras de suelo. Por último, llegaremos a nuestro dossier especial. Un programa en sí mismo. 90 minutos de exploración y estudio acerca de la vida y la obra de uno de los escritores más exitosos de todos los tiempos: STEPHEN KING. Junto a nuestro compañero Raúl Martin repasaremos los títulos más emblemáticos y las vivencias más significativas de un autor prolífico e ingenioso, cuyo estilo narrativo consigue atrapar desde el lector más exigente hasta ése que sólo dedica unos momentos ocasionales a la lectura. Hoy haremos todo lo posible por abarcar lo inabarcable, con ritmo pero con precisión, aunque no haya más remedio que pasar por encima de no pocas historias. Después tendremos el rincón del oyente, donde muy rápidamente y en pocos minutos daremos cuenta de los comentarios suscitados por los contenidos de esta edición. Éste es el último programa “normal” de La órbita de Endor del año 2011. El siguiente será un monográfico largamente ansiado por los oyentes. Y por eso, os ofrecemos un podcast de 2 horas y 42 minutos. Esperamos que os guste. Como siempre, corta cabezas, asesina y escribe: Antonio Runa.

visit: https://www.ysguys.comThis week's Y's Guys is officially a season kickoff special, and it opens with a bang: BYU Football's 101st season begins Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium against Portland State. With the game officially sold out, the show delivers everything fans need—coverage previews, depth chart updates, and Blaine Fowler's 3 Keys to the Game. The quarterback battle ends with true freshman Bear Bachmeier making history as the first to start a season opener in BYU history, and Dave and Blaine spotlight how he won the job and what fans can expect from his unique background and #47 jersey.Longtime BYU Radio play-by-play voice Greg Wrubell joins the show and previews his 24th season calling Cougar football. He shares insights from around college football, reacts to BYU's 34.5-point spread, and discusses key players to watch—including under-the-radar contributors on both sides of the ball. Greg also lists his personal Top 5 BYU season openers of all time and helps break down national storylines heading into Week 1.The ReLyte Athlete of the Week, sponsored by Redmond, honors Bear Bachmeier—not just for winning the QB job, but for the remarkable path that led him to BYU: a former Stanford commit, multi-position high school star, and a gritty competitor with NFL bloodlines. His brother, Tiger, joins him at BYU this year as a wide receiver. The Cougars are set to unveil a bold new era on Saturday, and Bear will be at the center of it.Next, head coach Heather Olmstead of BYU Women's Volleyball joins to preview the start of their season in the DoTERRA Classic. With her team ranked No. 19 nationally and projected to win the Big 12, Heather reflects on coaching Team USA to U21 gold this summer, her top returners like Claire Little-Chambers, and new star Suli Davis. In a game of “What Are You Most Proud Of?” she shares personal and team accomplishments, including her unmatched .848 win percentage and Final Four run.Campus notes round out the show with highlights from soccer's 1-0 upset over No. 4 UCLA, upcoming matches, and football recruiting spotlights on Ryder Lyons and Brock Harris. The episode closes with a tribute to legendary figures born on August 25—including Sean Connery, Gene Simmons, and Neal Armstrong—and Armstrong's quote serves as the Inspirational Quote of the Week. It's the most-watched collegiate livestream on YouTube, and it's officially game week on Y's Guys. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 25ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1972 shábháil seisear páiste ó sheomra leapa a bhí ar tine. I 1989 chuireadh ceist ar Bono ó U2 chun an bheith I gceoldráma sa West End. I 1989 bhí níos mó sheirbhísí tarrtháil ann de bharr go raibh stáisiúin bád tarrthála nua ann sa chontae. I 1998 tharla timpiste ghluaisteáin sa chontae nuair a chuaigh carr isteach chuig cuaille teileafóin ach níor ghortaíodh na triúir mná a bhí sa charr. Sin Boyzone le No Matter What – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1998. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1970 chan Elton John don chéad uair I Meiriceá nuair a thosaigh sé a turas ceoil ag an Troubadour I Los Angeles. I 2006 bhí dordghiotáraí Aerosmith Tom Hamilton ag fáil chóir leighis d'ailse scornach agus de bharr sin ní raibh sé ábalta cúpla cheolchoirm a dhéanamh leis an bhanna cheoil agus bhí sé seo an chéad uair a chaill sé amach ar aon seó. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Sean Connery san Albain I 1930 agus rugadh amhránaí Billy Ray Cyrus I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1961 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 25th of August, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1972: 6 children were saved from a bedroom fire 1989: u2 star Bono was asked to star in a west end musical 1989: Rescue services were enhanced after the establsihment of an all-weather lifeboat station. 1998: 3 women were lucky to escape serious injury after their car crashed into a telephone pole. That was Boyzone with No Matter What – the biggest song on this day in 1989 Onto music news on this day In 1970 Elton John made his US live debut when he kicked off a 17-date tour at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. 2006 Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton was undergoing treatment for throat cancer causing him to sit out the first half of the band's Route of All Evil Tour, the first time he would miss any shows in the band's history. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Sean Connery was born in Scotland in 1930 and singer Billy Ray Cyrus was born in America on this day in 1961 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

We dive into Michael Bay's 1996 action film 'The Rock' starring Nicholas Cage, Sean Connery, and Ed Harris. Richard Lewis, Thorin, and MonteCristo explore the film's iconic moments, characters, and unique blend of comedy, action, and drama. They discuss why 'The Rock' stands out as a classic in the action genre, Michael Bay's directorial choices, and the unforgettable performances from the stellar cast. We also cover the film's background, including its commercial success, cultural impact, entrance into the Criterion Collection, and Roger Ebert's surprising defense of its artistic merits. Don't miss this comprehensive analysis of one of the best action movies of the 90s!

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched an unofficial Bond movie starring Sean Connery! He's back and showing that he can still keep up with the latest James Bond, Roger Moore. This movie is a remake of Thunderball and is going for a much different tone than what the EON films were trying to go for. Gone are a lot of Bond's signature trademarks, including an opening of a dude walking into a gun barrel. But what we're left with instead is a movie directed by Irvin Kershner, who made The Empire Strikes Back. Is this set up to be one of the best James Bond films?Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Nascido em Belo Horizonte em 18 de maio de 1945, filho de um capoteiro e de uma mãe que adorava cantar, ouvia rádio desde criança e nas festas escolares era sempre o escolhido para falar alto em público. Quando jovem, fez um teste na Rádio Minas, que estava sendo inaugurada e foi aprovado para fazer os noticiários. Logo em seguida, foi para a Rádio Atalaia que operava em caráter experimental e, mesmo nessas condições, chegou a ficar em 1º lugar na capital de Minas. Passou pela Rádio Cultura, Itatiaia e Del Rey até que veio para o Rio de Janeiro, porque soube que a Herbert Richers estava fazendo teste para novas vozes e foi contratado, passando a fazer parte do mundo da narração e da dublagem. Sem deixar o universo da dublagem, começou a trabalhar na Rádio Jornal do Brasil onde tinha um programa de músicas clássicas. Também teve contato com o mundo da publicidade, e foi a voz de comerciais para a Mesbla, Cigarros Minister, Ministério da Educação e Cultura e ANAC, entre muitos outros. Um dia, pediu para ser transferido da JB para a Rádio Cidade FM, uma rádio de grande sucesso na época, que era do mesmo grupo de comunicação, e começou a atuar nas madrugadas. Quem vai contar a sua história de sucesso é Márcio Seixas. A conversa aconteceu em julho de 2025 e você vai ficar sabendo que, na dublagem, ele já foi a voz de grandes astros, entre eles, John Wayne, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Robert Redford e alguns outros grandes nomes de Hollywood por quem tem um carinho especial, como Clint Eastwood, Leslie Nielsen e o seu grande personagem, que o leva sempre a grandes eventos de dublagem: o Batman.

The fallout from the Great Chips & Salsa Incident continues as we invite Dino Proserpio from the I EAT MOVIES podcast to help us stage a cultural intervention for Gabe. As most of you are aware, interventions are never pretty — so we've lightened things up with some petty squabbling over East Coast vs. Third Coast, Sean Connery impersonations, Jennifer vs. Bailey, Greg Giuffria, potatoes vs. tomatoes, and we pick the best(?!!) uses of food in pop culture. You'll understand when you hear it.

July 4-10: TLC gives boating advice, aliens get sexy, Richard Gere's at the round table, Jennifer Connelly gets wet, Chris Evans is flaming, a reality-show dynasty begins, Jared from Subway is busted, and the Minions get a billion bananas. All that and more from 30, 20, and 10 years ago!

Book Vs. Movie: “Goldfinger” The 1959 Ian Fleming Novel Vs the 1964 Sean Connery FilmIan Fleming's Goldfinger (1959) and its 1964 film adaptation featuring Sean Connery present one of James Bond's most iconic villains, but in very different styles. The novel is a gritty Cold War spy thriller, showcasing a vulnerable Bond who relies on his wits rather than gadgets. Goldfinger's scheme centers on a traditional gold heist from Fort Knox, with Pussy Galore leading a lesbian criminal gang, creating a darker tone. In contrast, the film, directed by Guy Hamilton, turns the story into flashy pop entertainment. Goldfinger's plan involves irradiating gold with a dirty bomb, and Pussy is reimagined as a glamorous pilot who falls in love with Bond. Connery's 007 is suave and nearly invincible, complete with a gadget-loaded Aston Martin DB5.Between the novel and the movie, which did the Margos like better? Have a listen to find out! In this episode, the Margos discuss:The life of Ian Fleming and Sean Connery's BondThe differences between the book and movie.The cast includes: Sean Connery (James Bond), Gert Frobe (Auric Goldfinger), Honor Blackman (Pussy Galore), Shirley Eaton (Jill Masterson), Bernard Lee (M), Harold Sakata (Oddjob), Martin Benson (Solo), Tania Mallet (Tilly), and Lois Maxwell as Moneypenny. Clips Featured:“Oddjob”Goldfinger (1964 trailer)“Pussy Galore and her gals”Shirley Bassey 1974 (Royal Albert Hall)“I expect you to do Mr. Bond”Music by John BarryFollow us on the socials!Join our Patreon page “Book Vs.

Comedian and Jimmy Kimmel Live! writer Bryan Cook (@bryancooking) returns to the show for a technical difficulty-laden episode in which Jesse and Andy talk with Matt while he's on a cruise ship, covering topics including comedy on a boat, candlepin bowling, a new interstellar object, crypto failures, Anthropic's Claude having an identity crisis, the Sean Connery classic Zardoz, an AI band with way too many Spotify plays, Matt's upcoming standup shows and Andy's upcoming Colorado tour with Warsaw Poland Brothers.

Sam Richardson (Veep, Detroiters) joins Paul, June, and Jason to discuss 1991's Highlander II: The Quickening. They'll talk about why there's no need to see the first Highlander movie, Sean Connery trying on a suit, Highlander sex in the streets, the psychic cooking show, and much more. Plus, we get to the bottom of where Sean Connery's walking around money came from and what exactly is the difference between a Highlander and an immortal.
