Air Date 12/22/2025 It's said that mockery is one of the most effective weapons against dictators. I guess it depends on your goal, but still, there's truth there. And the good thing in that regard is that they are so very mockable. No really nice, likable, non-clownish people make themselves dictators and so the people who do are, without exception, absolutely ridiculous lunatics who deserve all the mockery and disdain in the world.

Jim and Eric kick off this week's show with a very on-brand travel mishap from Jim's latest Hallmark-fueled road trip, then pivot back to the stuff you came for - Universal news, theme park weirdness, and one surprisingly deep dive into how Frankenstein's Monster became the pop culture template we all still recognize today. Along the way: Epic Universe breadcrumbs, a Vegas horror venue that might be scarier for its empty queue than its monsters, and why Boris Karloff's dentures deserve their own credit line. NEWS • Universal's proposed UK theme park clears another hurdle, with the project advancing in the approvals process and still targeting a 2031 opening • Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas adds a holiday horror overlay, but reports suggest the venue can feel eerily empty even during a supposedly busy week • A new “Galactic Expo” mural lands inside the Men in Black Alien Attack gift shop, packed with sci-fi Easter eggs • A new Men in Black film is reportedly in development - and Jim has thoughts on what that could mean for the long-running attraction • Universal's latest “Whatever Makes You Happy” merch drop leans hard into 1980s nostalgia, mashing up brands that make Eric do a double-take FEATURE • Why Universal rushed Frankenstein (1931) into production after Dracula hit big - and how it helped the studio dig out of debt • The behind-the-scenes moment when director James Whale spots Boris Karloff in the commissary and decides his face has “startling possibilities” • The unglamorous reality of monster-making: punishing makeup sessions, 65 pounds of costume, and the physical toll that followed Karloff for years • The lost-but-legendary Technicolor Frankenstein footage from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty that fans have been hunting for decades HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Eric Hersey - IG: @erichersey | X: @erichersey FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.

With nearly 1500 species, bats account for more than twenty percent of mammalian species. The most successful and most diverse group of mammals, bats come in different sizes, shapes, and colors, from the tiny bumblebee bat to the giant golden-crowned flying fox. Some bats eat fruit and nectar; others eat frogs, scorpions, or fish. Vampire bats feed on blood. Bats are the only mammals that can fly; their fingers have elongated through evolution to become wings with a unique, super-flexible skin membrane stretched between them. Their robust immune system is one of the reasons for their extreme longevity. A tiny bat can live for forty years.Yossi Yovel, an ecologist and a neurobiologist, is passionate about deciphering the secrets of bats, including using AI to decipher their communication. In The Genius Bat: The Secret Life of the Only Flying Mammal (St. Martin's Press, 2025), he brings to vivid life these amazing creatures as well as the obsessive and sometimes eccentric people who study them–bat scientists. From muddy rainforests to star-covered night deserts, from guest houses in Thailand to museum drawers full of fossils in New York, this is an eye-opening and entertaining account of a mighty mammal.

Phones have quietly become one of the biggest threats to real connection, and in this episode of Secret Life, we unpack phubbing—the habit of choosing your phone over the person right in front of you. From partners texting while you're talking to kids glued to their screens 24/7, this conversation goes beyond annoyance and into the emotional damage phubbing creates: disconnection, resentment, and feeling invisible in your own relationships. If you're exhausted by competing with a device—or realizing you might be doing the same—this episode names the problem and challenges what we've all been normalizing for far too long._____If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction, depression, trauma, sexual abuse or feeling overwhelmed, we've compiled a list of resources at secretlifepodcast.com______ To share your secret and be a guest on the show email secretlifepodcast@icloud.com_____SECRET LIFE'S TOPICS INCLUDE:addiction recovery, mental health, alcoholism, drug addiction, sex addiction, love addiction, OCD, ADHD, dyslexia, eating disorders, debt & money issues, anorexia, depression, shoplifting,  molestation, sexual assault, trauma, relationships, self-love, friendships, community, secrets, self-care, courage, freedom, and happiness._____Create and Host Your Podcast with the same host we use - RedCircle_____Get your copy of SECRET LIFE OF A HOLLYWOOD SEX & LOVE ADDICT -- Secret Life Novel or on Amazon______HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE SHOW?Tell Your Friends & Share Online!Follow, Rate & Review: Apple Podcasts | SpotifyFollow & Listen iHeart | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Amazon | PandoraSpread the word via social mediaInstagramTwitterFacebook#SecretLifePodcastDonate - You can also support the show with a one-time or monthly donation via PayPal (make payment to secretlifepodcast@icloud.com) or at our WEBSITE.Connect with Brianne Davis-Gantt (@thebriannedavis)Official WebsiteBrianne's Coaching WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterConnect with Mark Gantt (@markgantt)Main WebsiteDirecting WebsiteMark Gantt Coaching WebsiteInstagramFacebook• • TwitterSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/secret-life/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Now that Severance is blowing minds and winning Emmys, we look back at the film where reliable comedy director Ben Stiller first shifted into auteur mode. His ambitious adaptation of the classic James Thurber short story is a mashup of big ideas, clever direction, and appearances from people who you forgot were even in this movie (which you probably forgot existed). It was Stephen's turn to pick a film, and his surprising selection proves quite discussion-worthy, both in a thematic sense and a technical one. It's likely you haven't seen this film in ages — you're due for a rewatch! GRAB LIFE BY THE HORNS.

We're back with part two of our special podcast with comedian, podcaster, actor, author, and "Bachelor" super-fan Jared Freid.   Ryan, Jen, and Gina talk to Jared on "Playing the Field" about his life as a standup comedian, moving to Florida, and how he ended up a part of "The Bachelor" cruise.   Jared also talks about why having his parents in the audience at his shows brings a bunch of extra pressure. Plus, what he did on social media that made his dad upset!   We've got a new season of "The Bachelorette" looming next year with Taylor Frankie Paul from "The Secret Life of Mormon Wives" and of course MomTok. Jared shares his thoughts on why she's a good choice, yet what he is concerned about.   Then, Jen and Gina pit Jared and Ryan against each other to see which would make a better "Bachelor." Ladies, they're both single and ready to mingle. "Bachelor" producers, are you watching? We're putting these guys on a platter for you! There's a winner, but it's all in fun.   You can find more about Jared's podcasts "The JTrain Podcast" and "U Up?" on his Instagram page: @jaredfreid. Next up on "Playing the Field" Gina is in town and we plan to have a special in-person podcast with one of our favorite Bachelor Nation couples. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Jerome Corsi takes a deep historical dive into Walter Duranty, the New York Times reporter who was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for reporting that was later exposed as propaganda for one of the most brutal regimes in human history. This is an encore presentation.Duranty served not as a journalist, but as Josef Stalin's public relations agent, producing glowing, fictionalized accounts of life inside the Soviet Union while deliberately concealing the truth about mass repression, political terror, and the Holodomor — the engineered starvation that killed millions of Ukrainians.Dr. Corsi exposes:

Crystal and David Brame had been married for eleven years when the tension in their home reached a breaking point. As David's career in law enforcement advanced, Crystal found it harder to seek help and even harder to escape his control. In February 2003, she filed for divorce and moved out of their home, determined to start over. But in the weeks that followed, emotions ran high—and what happened next would leave an entire community reeling.Today's snack: JoJo's CookiesListen to part 2 on PatreonSources:LaRosa, Paul.

This week, Pastor Jesse continues in the Sermon on the Mount, picking up in chapter 6. We look at Jesus' teaching on generosity, prayer, and fasting, and the deeper motives behind them. Jesus warns against turning spirituality into a performance and invites us to practice our faith for an Audience of One. True righteousness isn't […] The post Matthew 6:1-18 – Worship Without Applause: The Secret Life that Pleases God appeared first on Sierra Bible Church.

Episode 302 is the  fifteenth episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder.  David Belin, the celebrated Warren Commission attorney called  it the "Rosetta Stone" of the JFK assassination. It may very well be just that...but for other reasons! In  this fifteenth episode, we tell the story of Tippit's love life and extramarital affair.  The purpose is to highlight Tippit in his context and point out his personal vulnerabilities that may have played into what happened on November 22nd and his involvement in it.  Yes…there is a grave possibility that the true "Rosetta Stone" of November 22nd, 1963, might just lie in the quiet Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff, waiting for us to finally put the pieces together. This is a wander I've created especially for you…and of all the wanders you have taken with me, this may be the most thrilling of all! And don't worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think  you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent.  As we wind down the Tippit series, I hope that you will enjoy these last few episodes of what is one of the most riveting aspects of the JFK assassination story.

From deliverance scams to false police reports, she details how Locke destroys families while fleecing followers.

We did it!!! The Final Reckoning is here! What started as a silly project to expose Megan to the ultimate action espionage franchise turned into a rebirth for I Like to Movie Movie, and we could not be happier for the results. We also could not be happier to finally be out from under this franchise. We are now free. Free to wear whatever masks we choose. In this episode we look back on the history of the franchise and assess Final Reckoning's role as not just the end of the story, but the end of a filmmaking era. What's next for Tom Cruise? What's next for Christopher McQuarrie? Why did the navy put its hottest soldiers on the same submarine? When did Luther fall ill? Is that Ilsa Faust we see?

In this luminous and wildly alive conversation, I welcome back priestess and temple guide Nickie Jean for a journey into the mystery, where miraculous conception, the astral light, and the sacred frequencies of Mother Mary weave together in living remembrance and conscious conversation.This episode is for the mystical explorer and dreamer, for the ones who have touched the unseen, who know that spirit speaks in nonlinear, extraordinary ways. Together we open a space for wonder, for those who have experienced supernatural contact or communion with other realms of being.Through the lens of Marguerite Mary Rigoglioso's revelatory works, The Mystery Tradition of Miraculous Conception and The Secret Life of Mother Mary, we explore the ancient priestess arts of parthenogenesis, the alchemy of the womb, and the awakening of the Virgin lineage within us now.Nickie shares her personal and deeply insightful experiences with astral babies, visionary contact, and the living light that moves through all creation.This conversation is devotional, daring, and an offering for the ones remembering that the body itself is a holy temple of light

Cherish the ones you love, for one day they'll live only in your memories.“珍惜眼前人，因为有一天，他们只会存在于回忆里。”When I was little, my parents and I had a weekend ritual — we would hold hands and walk together to Shang Ji Cheng, a little restaurant that served the most delicious roast chicken in Tucheng, Tapei.小时候，我们家有个周末仪式——爸爸妈妈会牵着我的手，一起走到在台北土城香鸡城，那里有我最爱的手扒鸡。Dad on one side, Mom on the other, and me in the middle, swinging their hands like a seesaw, giggling all the way. The moment we stepped inside, that golden, crispy aroma filled the air — to this day, I can still smell it in my memories.爸爸在一边，妈妈在另一边，我走在中间，一边摇晃着他们的手、一边咯咯笑。那股金黄酥脆的香气直到现在，仍深深烙印在我的记忆里。They would always leave the chicken leg and wing for me — my favorite parts — and smile as they watched me eat.爸妈总会把我最爱的鸡腿和鸡翅留给我，看着我吃得津津有味，露出满足的笑容。After dinner, we would head to the cinema. I remember laughing so hard at Stephen Chow's movies like Flirting Scholar and Tricky Brains. Dad would say, “My favorite sound in the world is your laughter.” And in those moments, I felt safe. I thought that happiness would last forever.吃饱后，我们就去电影院。印象最深的是周星驰的《唐伯虎点秋香》和《整人大王》，我笑得又大又开心。爸爸总说：“我最喜欢听妳的笑声。”那时候，我以为幸福会一直这样下去。But life changed. The laughter faded, replaced by arguments, shouting, and silence. Dad began to hit Mom — and our family dinners became fewer and fewer. Sometimes, Mom still took me to the movies, but Dad was never there anymore.然而生活变了。笑声被争吵、怒吼和沉默取代。爸爸开始对妈妈动手，我们三个人一起吃饭的画面越来越少。妈妈偶尔还是会带我去看电影，但爸爸已经不再出现。When I grew older, the roles reversed — I was the one taking Dad to the movies. I still remember watching Con Air together, and later, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, a movie that inspired me to travel to Iceland alone.长大后，角色互换了——变成我带爸爸去看电影。我还记得我们一起看了《空中监狱》，还有后来那部让我踏上冰岛旅程的《白日梦冒险王》。But by then, things were different. Mom and I often argued, Dad became quiet and heavy with worries about money. I was the one paying for the tickets — and sometimes, he didn't even seem to want to be there.但那时感觉已经不同了。妈妈和我常常争吵，而爸爸变得沉默忧郁，总是叹气说没钱。最后，都是我买电影票，而他只是静静地坐着，好像也不太情愿。Even when my parents occasionally met again, the air felt heavy — like a storm waiting to break. I had already learned to live with their separation, but deep down, I still missed that simple, joyful little family we once were.即使爸妈偶尔再见面，空气都变得沉重，像随时会爆发的暴风雨。我早已习惯他们分开的生活，但心底深处，仍然无比怀念那个单纯快乐的三人世界。Then one day, Mom — who always cared about her health — passed away suddenly. A few years ago, Dad also left during surgery. Losing them both broke me open in ways words can't describe.后来，有一天，那个最注重养生的妈妈却突然离世。几年后，爸爸也在手术中离开了。我失去了这世界上最爱我的人，那段时间的痛苦，无法用言语形容。If I could go back, just once, I'd return to that warm, yellow-lit Shang Ji Cheng. I'd hold their hands and say, “Thank you. I really, really love you.”Not wait until everything became a memory.如果可以重来一次，我希望能回到那个灯光昏黄的香鸡城，拉着爸妈的手，认真地对他们说：“谢谢你们，我真的很爱你们。”而不是等到一切都变成回忆时，才后悔那些没说出口的话。Thank you for listening to this story from my heart.Maybe you, too, have moments you wish you could relive — to say the words that were never said.So today, if you still can, call someone you love. Tell them how much they mean to you.谢谢你听完我的故事。也许你心中，也有那些想重来一次的时刻。今天，如果还有机会，请告诉你爱的人：“谢谢你，我真的很爱你。”

In so many of our episodes over the last four years, we have explored how no food we eat is intrinsically ‘bad'. Instead, it's what we as humans living in a rapidly globalising and industrialising world, have done to that food that causes problems. The topic of today's episode, cacao, epitomises this. Originally, in its home, central america, cacao beans were revered and used unsweetened as a drink. Our world has taken and transformed them into an unrecognisable sugary commodity that fills the shelves of shops globally. A commodity that can, as Alison personally knows, through at 20, being addicted to the stuff and obese, ruin health.But as ancestral cooks, we need not be scared. And our guest today knows that better than anyone we've ever come across. Marcos Patchett is a self-confessed cacao geek and has written two books on this bean's wonders, the first of which, The Secret Life of Chocolate is 700 pages of incredible research, of which Alison has devoured every page!Cacao is an incredibly nutrient-dense food and one that can give us both pleasure and health. Let's talk about why, and, how, you should be eating chocolate.Supporters of the podcast, check your private feed for a fascinating discussion on addiction that we just couldn't squeeze into the main episode.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *One Earth Health make the grass-fed organ supplements we use and trust.

October, 1955. In living rooms across Denmark, children tear open the box of a brand-new toy: the LEGO System in Play. Inside are plastic bricks, a printed playmat of roads, little houses and trees — everything in perfect scale. As they build, something new is taking shape.  It looks simple, but it's a radical idea — every piece connects, no matter when or where it's made. It's more than a toy — it's a system. That quiet innovation will turn a small family workshop into one of the most successful companies in the world. How did a small-town Danish carpenter launch a plastic toy empire? And how did LEGO re-envision what a toy can be? Special thanks to Kristian Reimber Hauge, corporate historian at the LEGO Idea House; Daniel Konstanski, historian for Blocks Magazine and author of The Secret Life of LEGO® Bricks: The Story of a Design Icon; and Chris Byrne, researcher, historian, and “The Toy Guy.” We also want to thank Dana Goldsmith, Andreas Friis, and Roberta Cardazzo.
