In this final installment of our three part series on resiliency, host Suzan Chin-Taylor welcomes back Jim Dodenhoff, founder of Silent Running. This episode moves beyond the theoretical, providing actionable steps for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to transition from concept to a reality of energy independence and operational stability. Key Discussion Points:- Clarity Before Construction: The path to resiliency begins with analysis rather than immediate construction. A formal feasibility study allows for modeling various scenarios to avoid relying on guesswork.- The Pain and Suffering Audit: Jim recommends that teams summarize the last significant outage in a brief report. Understanding the true cost and operational impact of past failures helps justify the investment in future resiliency. - Data is Already On-Site: Most plants already possess the data needed for a feasibility plan without needing outside help initially. Facilities should benchmark annual electricity and gas usage using 15 minute interval data to identify specific vulnerabilities. - Identify Critical Loads: WWTPs must distinguish between critical loads, such as essential pumping, and systems that can be triaged or run at partial capacity during an emergency.- Control Your Destiny: With energy affordability becoming a leading driver for decision-makers, plants are increasingly looking toward distributed generation and microgrids to stabilize costs and reduce dependence on the traditional grid.- Smart Collaboration: There is a growing opportunity for WWTPs to partner with high-energy consumers, like data centers, to share resources such as water for cooling or alternative energy generation.Mentioned Progressive Agencies:- Orange County Sanitation District: Recognized for being on top of energy needs and co-locating with drinking water facilities. - Victor Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant: Noted for its progressive approach and innovation. - City of Phoenix: Highlighted for the Palo Verde project, where treated effluent provides makeup water for a nuclear plant.Connect with Jim Dodenhoff:Founder: Silent Running Email: james.dodenhoff@gmail.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jimdodenhoff/Website: silentrunning.bizI hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have.Please let us know your thoughts about the episode!Connect with Suzan Chin-Taylor, host of The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast:Website: www.creativeraven.com | https://thetuitgroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/creativeraven/Email: raven@creativeraven.com Telephone: +1 760-217-8010Listen and subscribe here to your favorite platform:Apple Podcast - Google Podcast - Cast Box - Overcast - Pocket Casts - YouTube - Spotifyhttps://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/ Subscribe to the Podcast:https://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/Be a guest on our show:https://calendly.com/thetuitgroup/be-a-podcast-guestCheck Out my NEW Digital Marketing E-Course & Coaching Program just for Wastewater Pros:https://store.thetuitgroup.com/diy-digital-marketing-playbook-for-wastewater-pros#Resiliency #WastewaterTreatment #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableInfrastructure #Microgrids #RenewableEnergy #UtilityManagement #WaterIndustry #Sustainability #CleanWater #EnvironmentalEngineering #EnergyResiliency

What if our most famous environmental dystopias reveal as much about fear and ideology as they do about the future?In this episode of Reckoning with Jason Herbert, I sit down with film scholar Matthew Thompson, author of On Life Support, to unpack the haunting world of Soylent Green—and the larger tradition of eco-dystopian cinema that emerged in the 1970s.We explore how films like Soylent Green, Planet of the Apes, and Silent Running channeled the anxieties of the early environmental movement, from overpopulation and pollution to resource scarcity and class inequality. Drawing on the influence of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, we examine how these films translated real-world fears into unforgettable cinematic visions.But this conversation goes deeper. Thompson argues that beneath their ecological warnings, these films often carry troubling assumptions—about population control, class, and who gets to survive. From the legacy of The Population Bomb to the shocking logic behind Soylent Green's infamous twist, we ask: what do these stories really say about environmental politics—then and now?We also connect the 1970s to today's resurgence of eco-dystopian storytelling, from Snowpiercer to Don't Look Up, and consider what modern climate anxiety reveals about our own moment.This is a conversation about film, history, and the uneasy truths lurking beneath our visions of the future.

In this episode of The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast, host Suzan Chin-Taylor sits down with Jim Dodenhoff, founder of Silent Running, to unpack a critical issue facing the wastewater industry today—resiliency.As extreme weather events, power disruptions, and infrastructure vulnerabilities continue to rise, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can no longer rely on outdated backup systems. Jim explains why traditional solutions like diesel generators are not fail-safe and how facilities must rethink their approach to ensure operational continuity and protect public health.This conversation dives into the real risks WWTPs face, from power quality issues to communication breakdowns, and highlights why resiliency must shift from a reactive engineering fix to a proactive governance strategy.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's Project Hail Mary is an exceptionally audience-friendly adaptation of Andy Weir's novel of the same name, offsetting the story's doomsday scenario with lots of jokes, a charismatic lead, and most especially the buddy dynamic between Ryan Gosling's human protagonist and an alien engineer named Rocky. The film's light touch has made it a hit, but it also left some of your Next Picture Show hosts wanting more, as we break down in our discussion of the new film before turning to Connections and a companion film that's as prickly as Project Hail Mary is cuddly: Douglas Trumbull's 1972 directorial feature debut, Silent Running. Sure, both films explore the idea of a lonely man finding human connection in a non-human companion, the threat of worldwide ecological collapse, and the question of what we owe the Earth and what causes are worth dying for, but each takes a very different approach, to very different effect... as do the several other films we considered pairing with PHM, which we collectively recommend in Your Next Picture Show. Please share your thoughts about Silent Running, Project Hail Mary, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

It's tough out there for old sci-fi movies, as their once-cutting-edge visuals can feel dated and even silly. And then, if you are SILENT RUNNING, you have to also deal with the uncanny-valley-esque experience of watching a young Bruce Dern mugging the camera non-stop. Critics - and the Tomatometer - didn't care though, and Douglas Trumbull's directorial debut got a suspiciously fresh score.

Already the biggest blockbuster of the year so far, Project Hail Mary has proven itself about as audience-friendly as a story about looming worldwide ecological collapse can be. That makes it an interesting point of contrast with 1972's Silent Running, which approaches many of the same basic narrative beats — a man in space on a solo mission that threatens his sanity, who finds his most human connection in a non-human companion — with a melancholic tone and deeply unpleasant protagonist. So this week we're looking back at one of just two movies made by pioneering special-effects artist Douglas Trumbull to consider how Silent Running functions today as both an environmental parable and a counterculture story about fighting The Man, how it tests our sympathies for its supposed hero, and whether that supposed hero knows anything about growing plants, in space or otherwise. Then in Feedback, a listener prompt inspires us to revisit some of our most memorable interruptions to the theatrical experience.  Please share your thoughts about Silent Running, Project Hail Mary, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

The Bride! is already a certified box-office flop, but does Maggie Gyllenhaal's ambitious but deeply flawed sophomore feature as a writer-director have potential for a second life as a cult film? We consider that possibility as we run through the highs and lows, both intentional and unintentional, of a movie that, if nothing else, offers a lot to talk about. It also offers the opportunity to revisit an unambiguous classic via Gyllenhaal's stated inspiration point of 1967's Bonnie and Clyde, which we bring back in for Connections to consider how The Bride! stacks up, in both conception and execution, in its ideas about lovers on the lam, outlaw media sensations, and empowered women empowering women. Then for Your Next Picture Show, we offer a recommendation for another film about coupled-up criminals that predates Bonnie and Clyde, the 1950 noir Gun Crazy.  Please share your thoughts about Bonnie and Clyde, The Bride!, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Composer Ken Allen shaped the soundscape of an entire Sierra era, from Space Quest to Kings Quest, and that unmistakable Sierra logo fanfare burned into every retro-gamer's brain. Now he's back with a full new soundtrack for SpaceVenture, and we go deep into how it all came together. In this episode, Ken walks through the craft behind his new score, the evolution from MT-32 to modern orchestral libraries, the stories behind iconic Sierra tracks, the surprising inspirations for SpaceVenture's music, and what it's like to reunite with the Two Guys from Andromeda after decades. Expect anecdotes, technical insight, nostalgia, and plenty of behind-the-scenes lore from one of the genre's defining composers. Mangia! Some corrections. - Beats Per Minute (not beats per second - that wouldbe crazy). - Composer for Silent Running was Peter Schickle, not Jerry Goldsmith. - Kazoo Orchestra is on the 2001 Theme and synth was used Blue Danube.

We're back after 3 years!! In this episode, Film Detective dives into two iconic 1970s sci-fi films that explore dystopia, ecology, and the human condition: Logan's Run (1976) and Silent Running (1972). The show examines the sleek futurism and hedonistic nightmare of Logan's Run, where society eliminates anyone over 30 to maintain a utopian illusion. Through its vibrant production design and social commentary, the film reflects fears of overpopulation and loss of individuality. Then, the episode shifts to Silent Running, Douglas Trumbull's directorial debut, which swaps sleek cities for a lonely spaceship harboring the last forests of Earth. Bruce Dern delivers a haunting performance as a botanist who defies orders to preserve the natural world. The show explores the film's environmental message, minimalist storytelling, and groundbreaking visual effects. Including the precursor of the AI technological surge we are currently experiencing in 2025. Together, the films paint a picture of early '70s sci-fi's moral concerns—questioning progress, control, and our relationship with nature.

Returning after 67 episodes one of my favorite writers in the field James Reich returns to Postcards from a Dying World to talk about his new Science Fiction novel that I described as Silent Running directed by a young David Cronenberg with an unlimited budget. Reich's novel Song My Enemies Sing was one of my top reads of 2018, and this new novel is even better. Skinship is a fantastic entry in the tradition of Generation ship novels. In this discussion, we talk about the passing of Barry Malzberg, how James got into the genre, the tradition of Generation ship novels, and the origin of this novel. We go a good 45 minutes without spoilers and then go deep on the ending. After talking about this novel with James at PKD festival it was the book I was most excited about reading this year.

I'm guessing many 1970s scifi movies are forgotten, by anyone who wasn't there to see them. Dark Star. Silent Running. Rollerball! The 70s produced so much great scifi cinema it's hard to list it all. And even when it wasn't great, it was still interesting. It's like every scifi movie in that decade was a unique experiment, always different, always new. And then one movie came along that ended the golden decade for strange, cool scifi movies. After Star Wars every science fiction movie was trying to be a scifi blockbuster. And Hollywood's search for the next big corporate entertainment franchise meant that everything would eventually get a reboot. Sometimes that worked. And sometimes it didn't. And it didn't work enough times that, I for one, live in dread of Hollywood rebooting another 70s science fiction classic. But. There is one movie from that golden decade which, the more I think about it, actually does need a reboot. # Watch the FULL video version on the new Science Fiction (video) Spotify channel : https://open.spotify.com/show/7lMNsoZctViqbqv8atqpK2?si=9a474bb8a9d74147 Become a member of the Science Fiction community to continue the discussion Website - https://damiengwalter.com YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/DamienWalter/membership Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/DamienWalter Subscribe to the Science Fiction podcast feed for long-form commentaries on these video essays https://damiengwalter.com/podcast/ Join the Science Fiction community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/324897304599197/

This week, John and Eugene look at the 1972 film Silent Running. They discuss the naming order of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, does Eugene find the film as boring now as he did as a child in the 1970s, and how much of a monster is Freeman Lowell for murdering a robot?

TVC 653.1: Bruce Dern biographers Robert Crane and Christopher Fryer talk to Ed about Dern's famous appearance in The Cowboys (in which he played the man who kills Wayne's character halfway through the picture) and the actor had to navigate a schedule conflict over production of another movie, Silent Running, so that he could film that pivotal scene. Other topics this segment include Beyond Where the Buses Run, the anthology of short story anthologies to which Bob and Chris both contributed; how Bob came to collaborate with Dave Thomas on SCTV: Behind the Scenes; and how actors have a furnace of emotions that they can bring to their faces whenever they need it.

Today we talk about Douglas Trumbull's other film, Silent Running (1972). All about a guy named Lowell and his robot friends in their National Park in . . . SPACE

Welcome back to another episode of The Video Store Podcast, where we dive deep into the shelves to bring you some of the most intriguing, thought-provoking, and often overlooked gems in cinema history. Today, we're venturing into the realms of science fiction and the boundaries of human perception with four films that, each in their own right, challenge our understanding of reality, humanity, and the universe at large.First up, we have "The Quiet Earth" from 1985. This New Zealand sci-fi classic explores the profound and eerie calm after a scientific experiment gone awry seems to leave a lone scientist as the last man on Earth. The film is celebrated not just for its intriguing premise, but also for its breathtaking final scene, which has had film fans arguing for decades. The solitude and desolation captured in the film are palpable, making it a must-watch for those who appreciate the more introspective side of science fiction.Next up is "Enemy Mine," also from 1985. This film stands out for its exploration of themes of racism, camaraderie, and survival under the most unlikely circumstances. Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr.'s performances are the heart of this story. They portray two soldiers from opposing sides of an interstellar war, stranded on a desolate planet. Their journey from enemies to friends is a powerful commentary on understanding and tolerance that resonates just as strongly today.Moving on to a slightly earlier film, I am recommending the mind-bending world of "Altered States" from 1980. Directed by Ken Russell and based on the novel by Paddy Chayefsky, this movie takes us on a psychedelic journey through the human psyche. In it, William Hurt's character experiments on himself with a mixture of sensory deprivation and hallucinogenic drugs. The visual effects used to depict his experiences were groundbreaking at the time and remain impressively evocative, painting an often disturbing picture of the potential and peril of pushing the boundaries of human consciousness.Lastly, we have the environmental cautionary tale "Silent Running" from 1972. Directed by Douglas Trumbull, who was known for his special effects work on "2001: A Space Odyssey." This film tells the story of a botanist on a space station dedicated to preserving Earth's last natural environments. It's a poignant, ahead-of-its-time commentary on environmentalism and loneliness The highlights are Bruce Dern's compelling performance and the unforgettable presence of the small, yet endearing, service robots, Huey, Dewey, and Louie (love em).Each of these films explore themes that are as relevant today as they were when they were first released. From the solitude of "The Quiet Earth" and the unlikely alliance in "Enemy Mine" to the exploratory depths of "Altered States" and the environmental message of "Silent Running." Like all good SF films, they invite us to question, reflect, and marvel at the possibilities beyond our current understanding.So, whether you're a long-time fan of the genre or just looking for something different to watch this weekend, these films should provide plenty of food for thought. Thanks for joining me on this journey through the stars and the depths of the human mind. Until next time, keep those VCRs powered up.Subscribe to the Video Store Podcast* The Video Store Podcast* Apple Podcast* RSS This is a public episode.

As Chris is tied up with a really cool Chaos project, we're revisiting some of the older episodes of the CG Garage podcast. And we're starting big with true luminaries of Hollywood revealing how they got their projects off the ground. First up is Doug Trumbull, the 2001: A Space Odyssey VFX genius who went on to direct Silent Running and continually innovated Hollywood motion picture technology. Recorded shortly before his death in 2022, Doug talks about getting Brainstorm made and gives a prescient perspective on home theater. We follow with a seminal live show that celebrated the podcast's 100th episode with a pair of VFX experts turned blockbuster directors: Joe Kosinski and Tim Miller. Recorded at Gnomon School, Joe talks about how he leveled up Tron: Legacy and brought Oblivion's stunning visuals to life, while Tim talks Deadpool and reveals some of the interesting choices that led to the beloved but very R-rated superhero movie.

The 1972 Sci-Fi Film Come with us as we explore this one-of-a-kind conservation sci-film from the mind and heart of the legendary Douglas Trumbull. His direction of this 1972 film was unexpected, but executed with great love and care for the message of taking better care of our planet. Ahead of it's time in some ways, and troubling in others, we talk about this film from all the angles. We hope you'll have fun listening and, if you've never seen this film, that you might give it a chance!

Yes, you are right - Toto IV was released in March of 1982, not April of 1985.  However, the rock group Toto was a celebrity phenomenon in 1985, particularly in Japan.  In April of 1985 MTV broadcast a special episode showcasing a Toto concert from Japan.Toto IV was both a commercial and critical success.  Three of the singles would be top 10 hits, and the album would achieve triple Platinum status as it became known as one of the best albums of the year.  Critically, the group would earn six Grammy awards including Album of the Year, and Record of the Year for the single “Rosanna.”The group would spend much of 1982 and 1983 on tour, though there would be some changes in personnel.  Bassist David Hungate left the group shortly after the release of Toto IV, sensing that the success of the album and the fame of the group would negatively impact time with his family.  Lead singer Bobby Kimball was in and out of court fighting prosecution on drug-related charges.  Those charges would eventually be dismissed in late May 1983, but he would be released from the band after missing many recording sessions.The album is a soft-rock masterpiece, with balanced synth and keyboard sounds and soaring harmonies.  Songs have a jazzy feel, interspersed with piano-based ballads.Lynch has been lobbying for a long time to do this album, and we hope you enjoy it for this week's podcast. RosannaThe biggest hit from the album was often thought to be inspired by actress Rosanna Arquette who was dating keyboardist Steve Porcaro.  However, writer David Paich says the lyrics were based on various girls he had known in the past rather than a single individual.  The shuffle drum pattern is reminiscent of both Bo Diddley rhythms and John Bonham's groove on "Fool in the Rain."Make BelieveThis sunny-feeling single hit number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100.  It describes a time of looking back with an old lover, remembering the moments they shared.  It was the second US single from the album.  David Paich wrote the song, and Bobby Kimball is on lead vocals.I Won't Hold You BackThe piano-oriented ballad peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, and held the number 1 spot on the US Adult Contemporary chart for three weeks.  It looks back on a failed romance as the singer lets go of what he had.  Guitarist Steve Lukather takes lead vocals duties for this track, and Eagles alumnus Timothy B. Schmidt provides backing vocals in the chorus. AfricaWhile this song did well as a single, it has grown into a cultural icon.  It did top the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983, but would see a resurgence in popularity over time, particularly after Weezer's cover in 2018.  The lyrics depict a man struggling between his love for the continent and returning to his relationship elsewhere.  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the motion picture “Ladyhawke”This fantasy movie starring Rutger Hauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Matthew Broderick hit the big screen in April of 1985. STAFF PICKS:Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the WavesWayne starts us off with a popular and optimistic song that got the band Grammy-nominated for Best New Artist.  It is off their debut and eponymously named album.  It was first released in Canada, though the band was out of England.  It went to number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.Summer of '69 by Bryan AdamsBruce brings us this well-known song from Adams' album "Reckless," which was released in April of 1985.  The original name was going to be "Best Days of My Life," and in the first draft the lyric "summer of '69" only appeared once.  With the name change, "Summer of '69" replaced several appearances of the phrase "best days of my life," in the track.High On You by SurvivorRob's staff pick is an ode to the intoxication and infatuation of new love.  It is the first top 10 single from their album "Vital Signs," and arose from a jam during touring sound checks.  Mickey Thomas from Jefferson Starship and Peter Wolf from the J. Geils Band are supporting musicians on this track.Silent Running by Mike + the MechanicsLynch finishes the staff picks with a synth-heavy song with science fiction lyrics.  The singer is a father who has journeyed into the future and is now communicating back to his son with instructions for mitigating the coming war and catastrophe.  This is the first single released by Mike + the Mechanics, and it went to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Moments In Love by Art of NoiseThis largely instrumental piece is a signature song from the art rock group.

The episode opens with the hosts greeting each other for 2024 and then moving into a discussion of older dystopian science fiction that reflected the anxieties of its era. They talk about Logan's Run, Make Room, Make Room/Soylent Green, Clockwork Orange, and Silent Running as stories shaped by fears about population growth, pollution, youth violence, and social instability, before widening the conversation into how people now think about depopulation, fertility decline, and whether modern cynicism is distorting judgments about the present and the past. From there, the episode moves through a 2024 predictions segment covering Artemis, Starship, the presidential election, and the broader role of AI and robotics. The hosts also discuss how chat-based AI is already useful in daily life, debate what counts as AGI and how the Turing test is commonly misunderstood, then finish with reactions to Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and Rebel Moon before ending on recommendations for Fargo, Lower Decks, A Clockwork Orange, and The OA. Key topics 1970s dystopian fiction as a response to overpopulation and environmental anxiety: The hosts connect Logan's Run, Make Room, Make Room/Soylent Green, Clockwork Orange, and Silent Running to concerns about population growth, pollution, young people, and societal breakdown. The American vs. English endings of A Clockwork Orange: Brian explains the different endings, saying the English version includes a redemption arc while the American version is darker
