In this episode, we step back into the footlights of early 20th century Black theatre and film to rediscover Andrew Stevens Bishop, a gifted stage actor and Oscar Micheaux film performers whose legacy has slipped into the shadows. Guided by a rare crayon portraiture and an equally rare real photo postcard from the Nanny Jack & Co Archives, we trace Bishop's journey across touring circuits, silent film sets, and the wider Bishop family lineage. This is a story of artistry, migration, and memory, illuminated once more under the stage lights.

One thing I keep wishing for is silence. That Chad and Lori Daybell would finally stop talking. No more coded prison letters. No more jailhouse theology. No more attempts to rewrite history through spiritual language, legal filings, or appeals disguised as revelation. But since that silence isn't coming, this episode does something different. Lori Daybell isn't arguing innocence. She's arguing meaning. Through a stylized Silent-Era framework, a black-and-white world of title cards, shadow, and sacred certainty, we examine how a woman convicted of murder reframes accountability as persecution, procedure as oppression, and evidence as an attack on faith.Across five acts, we explore the heart of her claims:The disqualification of her attorney reframed as the silencing of a discipleCourt-ordered competency proceedings recast as exile and martyrdomReligious language treated as “faith on trial” rather than context for motiveAnd delay reframed not as preparation, but as betrayal. She called herself chosen. The jury called it proven.#LoriDaybell #ChadDaybell #DoomsdayMom #TyleeRyan #JJVallow #TammyDaybell #CharlesVallow #AlexCox #MelanieGibb #MelanieBoudreaux #ZulemaPastenes #MarkMeans #JamesArchibald #IdahoSupremeCourt #TrueCrime #CultCrimes #ProfilingEvil #SilentFilm #CourtroomDrama #JusticeForTyleeAndJJ========================================https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

In this episode of Yahweh's Money, we're talking real faith, real caregiving, and real stewardship. I sat down with my father, Reverend Mitchell D. Tull Sr., to unpack the emotional, financial, and spiritual weight of supporting aging parents — especially when money wasn't openly discussed in their generation.From navigating the traditions of the Silent Era to coordinating long-term care, inheritance, and family obligations, we explore how caregiving becomes a ministry of obedience, sacrifice, and honor. Together, we talk about the faith required to support elderly parents, the financial realities of long-term care, and the importance of preparing the next generation with clarity instead of secrecy.You'll Discover:How secrecy around finances created generational gaps in knowledge, planning, and inheritance.Why prayer, obedience, and Scripture become essential tools for caregiving decisions (not just budgeting).From medical bills to emotional labor, how caregiving impacts finances, careers, and health — especially for the Sandwich Generation.How open communication protects families from confusion and conflict around wills, assets, and long-term care plans.Why Scripture frames caregiving as obedience and legacy, not just responsibility.Featured Scripture:1 Timothy 5:8 — “Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”Action Step:This week, take one practical and spiritual step toward intergenerational financial clarity: • Research average assisted living or in-home care costs in your city • Review your parents' (or your own) long-term care plans • Spend time in prayer asking God for wisdom, provision, and peace as a caregiverSmall steps today make stewardship — not secrecy — the family legacy!Send us a text
In the Silent Era, before the existence of the Hays Code (and largely a cause for it), many female screenwriters wrote heroines who flouted the brazen sexual freedom of the new century, a specialty of Josephine “Jo” Lovett.

Carl Theodore Dreyer's Vampyr If you dig deep enough, Cinema will unleash great treasures. The Silent Era ended in 1927 with the release of The Jazz Singer . . . Movies would never be the same. A number of filmmakers would utilize the new technology in innovative, imaginitive, and groundbreaking ways. Fritz Lang's M comes to mind. Musicals became a reality and would astonish audiences. Storytellng became an entirely new artform. However the power of Silent Films would continue to be felt. Chaplin stubbornly held onto silence, while Karl Dane, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., and Emil Jannings would witness their star power dim sound emerged. Danish filmmaker, Carl Theodore Dreyer, would struggle throughout his career with complex material, however he would - years later - be recognized as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. With Vampyr the struggle with the new technology is evident in its use in the film, however the brilliance in Dreyer's vision is in the visual. The images are haunting, disturbing, and - in many cases - unforgettable. Take a look at this Classic of World Cinema and enjoy one of the great works of the 20th Century.

In this lesson, Pastor Tyler surveys the time period between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament. What this lesson shows is that although no prophets and no Scripture was being given this time, God was no idle, He was at work preparing the world stage for the sending of His Son and the spreading of the gospel to the ends of the earth. "For in the fulness of time, God sent for His Son" - Galatians 4:4

The myth of Wyatt Earp ignited at the ascent of cinema, his alleged Old West exploits embellished on celluloid during the Silent Era so that he was a full-fledged American legend come the golden age of Hollywood. Earp westerns were such an established staple that Law and Order, the first movie to star a surrogate Wyatt, was already out in 1932. All the familiar elements were there - Tombstone, Doc Holliday, the gunfight at the O.K. Corral - but the names of the players were different. From fairly straight biographical retellings including The Arizonian and Dodge City to radical revisions like Sam Fuller's Forty Guns and Edward Dmytryk's Warlock, the "Wyatt Earp movie without Wyatt Earp" has developed into an obscure but crowded subgenre. Who could identify such a subgenre but artist/Old West historian David Lambert, returning to The Pink Smoke to share his thoughts on the cinematic legacy of the killin'est peace officer who ever lived. Why so many thinly-veiled adaptations of the gunfighter's printed legend? How do they stack up next to the official versions, like John Ford's My Darling Clementine? Come for a nice long dive into these and other inquiries, stay for Lambert's killer Andy Devine impression. Hey! Look!

To Neither Have Nor Hold - Tod Browning's The Unknown On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Mr. Chavez & I look back to 1927 for one of the great Actor/Director collaborations - Lon Chaney & Tod Browning. With The Unknown, Chaney & Browning would create one of the most disturbing and beautifully realized films of The Silent Era. Browning's years spent as a youth in circuses and carnivals would inform two of his most famous films (The Unknown and Freaks [1932]). Chaney's dedication to portraying a carnival performer without arms who falls in love with a young Joan Crawford, is a marvel of early cinema. It's a thrill to sit down and discuss this classic and dive into it's strange and troubling elements. It's a fun discussion. We hope you'll enjoy it.

For Chris Marker, writing came before filmmaking. A decade after Marker's death, critics continue to rediscover his remarkable oeuvre, which comprised writing, photography, film, video, radio, and digital media. Associated with the Left Bank subset of the French New Wave, Marker is perhaps best recognized for directing La Jetée (1962). To celebrate the publication of the first English translation of Marker's early writings (published between 1948 and 1955), Steven Ungar, the editor of Chris Marker: Early Film Writings, with translator Sally Shafto, have joined Jean-Michel Frodo and Sam Di Iorio in conversation.“The French Cinema has its dramatists and its poets, its technicians, and its autobiographers, but only has one true essayist: Chris Marker.”—film theorist Roy ArmesChris Marker (born Christian Hippolyte François Georges Bouche-Villeneuve, 1921–2012) was a French writer, artist, and director. His time-travel film La Jetée (1962) is one of the most celebrated shorts ever made. A true polymath, his later creations ranged from videos and the interactive CD-ROM Immemory to the multimedia digital platform Second Life.Steven Ungar is professor emeritus of cinematic arts, French, and comparative literature at the University of Iowa. He is author of several books including Critical Mass: Social Documentary in France from the Silent Era to the New Wave.Sally Shafto is a French film scholar and translator and assistant professor of English at Framingham State University. She is author of The Zanzibar Films and the Dandies of May 1968, and her translations include Jean-Marie Staub and Danièle Huillet's Writings. She teaches at Framingham State University.Jean-Michel Frodon is a journalist and one of the most influential film critics and film historians in the world. He is author or contributor of several books including The World of Jia Zhangke and Le Cinéma Français de la Nouvelle Vague a Nos Jours, and wrote the foreword to “Night and Fog”: A Film in History by Sylvie Lindeperg. Frodon blogs at Projection Publique.Sam Di Iorio is Associate Professor of French at Hunter College and Deputy Executive Officer of the Ph.D. Program in French at the CUNY Graduate Center. He has written about postwar films and filmmakers, political theory, and cultural history for Screen, Trafic, Film Comment and the Criterion Collection.

Shh! This week Ian, Daniel, and guest Bryson explore the silent era of the 1920s. We take a lot at some of the film industries foundations and why they still work a century later.

Not everyone is aware that Hitchcock actually started making movies all the way back in Britain's 1920s silent era. Now that we've watched all of those films (that are available, anyway), we take a look back and think about what we've learned. What takeaways can we glean, not just about Hitchcock, but about the film industry in general, and–dare we say–ourselves? We discuss! Also, Josh recommends Peaky Blinders on Netflix, and Ira recommends Andor on Disney+. (note: for anyone listening along as we publish these, this CRF was actually recorded back in August of 2023, last year--so, some of the personal updates are a little outdated at this point)

How Would Lubitsch Do It returns for a fourth season! It's an exciting time for Ernst Lubitsch and, therefore, the podcast: this season, we'll be covering the years between the introduction of synchronized sound in Hollywood and the establishment of the Production Code Administration in 1934. Ahead of us lie the years of Lubitsch's greatest influence in Hollywood: by the end of this season, he'll have gone from a prominent silent film director to being the first (and only!) director to have ever been given the reins of a major Hollywood studio. In between lie many of his greatest and most celebrated works. Aside from our film-by-film coverage of Lubitsch's work in this period, this season will feature a number of experts in the field of early sound cinema who have lent their time and knowledge so as to help paint a clearer picture of the evolving state of both technology and artistry in Hollywood cinema throughout this era. The first of these guests is Patrick Keating, professor of Communication at Trinity University and author of Hollywood Lighting from the Silent Era to Film Noir as well as The Dynamic Frame: Camera Movement in Classical Hollywood, among others. In this episode, Patrick and I discuss the history and ideology of early camera movement: why do directors choose to move, and how do they theorize the motivations behind this movement? We also discuss the dimensions of visible labor behind camera operation, the many differences between dollies, cranes, gimbals, and steadicams, aspect ratio shifts, and the many misconceptions floating around regarding early film camera movement. Edited by Griffin Sheel. NEXT WEEK: Ursinus College professor Jennifer Fleeger joins us to discuss THE LOVE PARADE. For details as to where to find this film, check out our resources page.

"Jeanne Dielman should be on Chopped." This week kicks off a new ongoing series where Cole and Zach discuss the top 100 movies in the 2022 Sight & Sound Greatest Films of All Time poll, beginning with the one and only, Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. Join us as we take a trip back in time to discuss not only Chantal Akerman's revolutionary slow cinema masterpiece, but also some of the masterworks from a century ago, such as Cabiria, Pandora's Box and Die Nibelungen, as we unpack some of our favorite "deep cuts" from the silent era!
Some of the most enduring images of film ever conjured—not just of the Silent Era, but of all time— appear as a result of the vivid expressionism manifested in the oeuvre of Weimar Germany's leading director, F.W. Murnau. The man who's name is now associated some of the most important restoration efforts ever undertaken, had both an incalculable impact upon the filmmaking world in his time, as well as into today. Even if you've never seen a Murnau film before, it's almost impossible to not have come across some of the iconic imagery sprung from his brief yet unrivaled time working in the industry. His name is associated with some of the most acknowledged greatest films of all time, working in both Germany and America in the 1920s, and pioneering the medium with every new film. This episode marks our foray into the important directors of Weimar Cinema, the individuals with an even greater prestige than the actors with whom they worked so consistently. Murnau may have been the most influential of them all, despite an untimely end to his life and career in tandem with the foreclosure of Silent Film as a whole.The Life and Career of F.W. Murnau: 00:00-45:58Der brennende Acker/The Burning Soil (1922): 45:59-1:06:43Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.

To kick off a new series of episodes that will give an overview of the history of the western genre, Alex and Jonathan start off by talking about three early western films from the pre-sound era: The Testing Block (1920), Sky High (1922), and The Iron Horse (1924). We discuss the development of both the themes and the action of the western genre, how the early westerns lacked many of the common tropes we expect in westerns today, and how John Ford set himself apart early as one of the great western directors.

Hollywood - Spectacle & Sacrifice: Damien Chazelle's Babylon This week, Mr. Chavez & I continue our close out of 2022 (going into this third week of 2023), with a look at one of the most highly-anticipated films of the year (and one of its most polarizing films and biggest box-office disappointments), Damien Chazelle's Babylon. This is certainly a film that defines cinematic ambition, but also thematic and visual excess; A film of grotesque imagery and questionable plot points, Chazelle's love and fascination for the Hollywood's Silent Era and the slow emergence into "Talkies" is divisive at the very least. Rarely does a film emrege that is as beautiful, overblown, and misguided as this three-hour opus. Featuring Hollywood Stars interpreting the lives of early screen stars John Gilbert (Brad Pitt) and Clara Bow (Margot Robbie), and newcomers Diego Calva, Li Jun Li, and Jovan Adepo, as well as Jean Smart, Flea, Lukas Haas, Eric Roberts, Jeff Garlin, and Tobey McGuire. Incredibly problematic, but definitely worth seeing on the big screen, Chazelle's "Love Letter to Cinema and Hate Letter to Los Angeles/Hollywood" is one of the more fascinating spectacles in recent cinema. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always, we. dive into all aspects of this film. It is best to have seen the film before listening. You've been warned. Questions, Comments, Complaints, and Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com Many Thanks.
Our inaugural journey into the vault of early film history sees Stephen and David taking a general survey of Silent Movies as a whole and the way in which their legacy is told and preserved. We go over the early record of how film came to be, our own personal exposure to and discovery of Silent Film, and the many ways films become lost in the first place. Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.
MOVIE DISCUSSION: Stephen and Melvin are joined by Shirleon to discuss the highly revered classic vampire film Nosferatu, a film with a 100-year legacy! Topics: (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 30-minutes talking about our October/Halloween plans, from movies to habits! (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) Nosferatu is a very simple movie about a vampire, a man, and his wife.This was Shirleon's second time watching Nosferatu. The first time was great. The second time... not so much.Stephen observed how Nosferatu can feel slow and boring for a modern audience, yet also feels Nosferatu is an effective film overall.Melvin had a unique experience in which he was confronted with his mortality. Why? Because everyone involved in Nosferatu, from its conception, plagiarism, and preservation is dead.Nosferatu is shot during a time when movies were "plays on film", and thus didn't contain the same freedoms and creativities we are now accustomed to movies that separate themselves from the stage.Count Orlock is grotesquely charismatic, parading the film with a transfixing nature.Discussing the hardship of film preservation and audience engagement for a film that is both pre-talkie and had a court case resulting in the destruction of all original film negatives.Back in the days of yore, black and white films could be colored by painting on the film itself, and musicians could perform original music for the film based upon their talents and interpretations. With this in mind, the concept of preserving the "original experience" of older films becomes far more complicated, as it cuts down as deep as regional and local creativity.Nosferatu seems to present a message around the overbearing presence of predator vs prey, from not only a man vs man angle (Hutter vs Orlock) but also man vs nature (the town vs the plague). Primarily, it seems Nosferatu is expressing a horror unique to nature.Despite Count Orlock's diabolical design, there is still an expressionistic depiction of sensuality throughout Nosferatu.Recommendations:Frankenstein (1931) (Movie), or any other classic Universal Monsters movie.Absentia (2011) (Movie)And I Darken by Kiersten White (Book)Support on Patreon for Unique Perks!

The fellas finally circle back to wrap up their discussion on one of the last great masterpieces of the Silent Era, and catch up after a couple hard months apart.

Starting with the ambitious Fairylogue and Radio-Plays multimedia presentation, continuing into Selig Polyscope Company's 1910 short film, heavily focusing on Larry Semon's 1925 feature film The Wizard of Oz, and wrapping it all up with the Ted Eshbaugh cartoon in Technicolor from 1933.

Hey there film buds, Though people often associate silent film with the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Greta Garbo, it encompassed as wide a range of genres and styles as film today. That includes the Horror genre. Horror, like much of the Silent Era, often relied on established ideas from literature and the stage. Since we recently dove deeper into film history with episodes covering horror and drama in the 30s and 40s and teenagers in movies of the 50s, we decided to present you with Silent Horror Film. Specifically chose films as a part of the German Expressionist movement, including FW Murnau's Nosferatu from 1922 and Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari from 1920. The style became synonymous with the Horror genre and was later used in other films, like the Universal Studios monster films and more. You can read more about the Expressionist movement here. Joining us in our discussion this week is friend of the show Sky Tilley and first time guest Madelaine Davis. Madelaine is a published writer, editor, marketing expert, and semi-professional athlete. They're both horror fans.
