As we walk through the stages of life, the first question that we should ask is where does life begin? That would be a pretty important thing to know. In this episode, we explore how spiritual life starts at conception. This also has some implicit suggestions that the same is true about physical life. We believe a strong argument can be made when we read the Bible about where spiritual life begins.One of the most beautiful parallels the Bible draws is between physical life & plant life to illustrate spiritual life. In this episode, Caleb discovers more evidence for his point live.

We all we have our pet favorite books for children. Some were the ones we loved when we ourselves were kids. Others are the ones we enjoy reading to our own children. And a few are the ones we enjoy hearing our children read when they're learning how. This book falls into that final category. And part of the reason I love it is how weird it is. Take a trip back in time with us to 1959 where Ball Boy and Stalker Sally go on a series of misadventures as his ball attempts to destroy itself in a myriad number of ways.

What better book to look at on these hot July days than a cold story of moonlit driven snow on a wintery night?

Kids on the March: 15 Stories of Speaking Out, Protesting, and Fighting for Justice by Michael Long From the March on Washington to March for Our Lives to Black Lives Matter, the powerful stories of kid-led protest in America. Kids have always been activists. They have even launched movements. Long before they could vote, kids have spoken up, walked out, gone on strike, and marched for racial justice, climate protection, gun control, world peace, and more. Kids on the March tells the stories of these protests, from the March of the Mill Children, who walked out of factories in 1903 for a shorter work week, to 1951’s Strike for a Better School, which helped build the case for Brown v. Board of Education, to the twenty-first century’s most iconic movements, including March for Our Lives, the Climate Strike, and the recent Black Lives Matter protests reshaping our nation. Powerfully told and inspiring, Kids on the March shows how standing up, speaking out, and marching for what you believe in can advance the causes of justice, and that no one is too small or too young to make a difference. About Michael G. Long Michael G. Long (longmg4242@gmail.com) has a Ph.D. from Emory University and is the author or editor of numerous books on nonviolent protest, civil rights, LGBTQ+ rights, politics, and religion. He's currently working on picture books and books for young readers, with subjects ranging from civil rights leader Bayard Rustin to the 1917 Silent Protest Parade to nonviolent protests led by kids. Long's coauthored biography of transgender rights pioneer Phyllis Frye is under contract. Long's first YA nonfiction biography--a coauthored book titled Troublemaker for Justice: The Story of Bayard Rustin, the Man Behind the March on Washington (City Lights Books)--earned starred reviews in Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and the School Library Journal. The Bank Street Center, Kirkus, and SLJ selected Troublemaker as a best book of the year. Long has also written on civil rights and protest for the Los Angeles Times, The Undefeated (ESPN), the Progressive, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, the New York Daily News, the Afro, USA Today, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and the Huffington Post.

Childhood & Early Life: Born Marshall Bruce Mathers III in St. Joseph, Missouri, in 1972, to parents who were members of a band that used to perform at the hotel 'Ramada Inns.' He grew up in a predominantly black neighbourhood, where he was often bullied. As a child he showed affinity toward comics and music, particularly rapping. He had a difficult childhood and he was never on good terms with his mother. He was, however, close to her half-brother, Ronnie. Marshall's education suffered as a result of constant troubles with his mom and he dropped-out of 'Lincoln High School,' when he was seventeen. 109. Career: When Marshall was fourteen years old, he started rapping and attenditg contetst with his friend DeShaun Dupree Holton, who later became famous as rapper Proof. The two friends formed their own group called 'D12' or 'The Dirty Dozen,' in 1996. Also in 1996, Eminem (@16) brought out his first album titled 'Infinite.' The album was recorded under the banner of 'FBT Productions,' and included songs that spoke about the struggles he faced after the birth of his daughter, at a time when he was financially unstable. His financial condition had worsened and by 1997, he was forced to live in his mother's house with his family. During this time, to let go of the frustration building inside him, he created an anti-social alter-ego named 'Slim Shady.' He even recorded his first extended play by the same name in the same year. 110. After he was fired from his job and evicted from his home, Eminem went to Los Angeles to compete in the 1997 Rap Olympics, an annual, nationwide battle rap competition. He placed second, and an Interscope Records intern in attendance called asked Eminem for a copy of the Slim Shady EP, which was then sent to company CEO Jimmy Iovine. Iovine played the tape for record producer Dr. Dre, who recalled sayingd, "In my entire career in the music industry, I have never found anything from a demo tape or a CD. When Jimmy played this, I said, 'Find him. Now.'" Although Dre's friends criticized him for hiring a white rapper, he was confident in his decision: "I don't give a fuck if you're purple; if you can kick it, I'm working with you." 111. In February 1999, Dr. Dre helped Eminem release an album titled 'The Slim Shady LP,' which immediately catapulted him to fame. With hits like 'My Name Is,' '97 Bonnie and Clyde,' and 'Guilty Conscience,' it was one of the most successful albums of the year. 112. Movie Scene: The Best Man 113. Harper Stewart (Taye Diggs), a commitment-shy writer and the best man at the wedding of Lance (Morris Chestnut) and Mia (Monica Calhoun), is nervous-and with good reason. His steamy new novel hits bookstores soon, and when his friends finally read it he knows they will notice more than just a passing resemblance to the characters depicted in the book. 114. Director: Malcolm D. Lee, Debut film [Undercover Brother (2002), Roll Bounce (2005), Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008), Soul Men (2008), Scary Movie 5 (2013), The Best Man Holiday (2013), Girls Trip (2017), and Night School (2018)] 115. Cast: Taye Diggs, Nia Long, Morris Chestnut, Harold Perrineau, Terance Howard, Sanaa Lathan, Monica Calhoun, Melissa De Sousa, Terrence Howard, Regina Hall [*Film Debut] 116. 'The Best Man': A Joyous Occasion [By Lonnae O'Neal Parker Washington Post Staff Writer, Oct 1999] 117. This smart debut from filmmaker Malcolm D. Lee, cousin to the film's producer, Spike, centers around a group of old friends who reunite in New York for a wedding. Tapping into the Zeitgeist of young black professionals starving to see themselves on film, it hits all the right cultural touchstones: from BET to Stevie Wonder, Chubb Rock to bid whist. Although the film is produced by Spike Lee, don't expect racial politics. And while comparisons to another black wedding-themed movie starring Taye Diggs, "The Wood," are bound to come up, resist. 118. James Berardinelli - Reelviews 119. The Best Man is not what it initially seems to be. Despite starting out with all the earmarks of a fairly ordinary romantic comedy, the project develops into a surprisingly effective look at a man's quest for rebirth after events topple him from a pedestal of arrogance. And, while there are plenty of laughs to be had, The Best Man functions better as a light drama than a straight comedy, with several scenes packing a punch because they're played straight. The film is the directorial debut of Malcolm D. Lee (Spike's cousin), who may have gotten this chance because of family connections but shows enough promise to earn further opportunities on his own. 120. The Best Man (1999) - 1½ Stars [Reviewed by Dustin Putman, October 1999] 121. As with 1997's melodramatic, corny "Soul Food," and last summer's "The Wood," which also starred Diggs in a story set around a wedding(!), "The Best Man" aspires to be something more than it actually is. Kudos to Lee for trying his hand at a more knowledgeable picture that all audiences (not just African-Americans) might enjoy, but he also gets more than his share of debits for its severely flawed treatment. At over two hours in length, "The Best Man" thankfully never overstays its welcome and goes by fairly fast, but by the time the Electric Slide was carried out by everyone at the wedding reception over the end credits, I realized that the actors deserved far better. As is, the conclusion plays like an excuse for each of the cast members to give themselves a pat on the back, when they really didn't earn that pat to begin with. 122.

Question: DW vs. SLJ? 130. Television Scene: 131. 18 Black Sitcoms of the '90s That Changed the Game: Published Jan 24, 2020 - By Damarys Ocaña Perez 132. Black sitcoms have been popular since classics like Good Times, The Jeffersons, and Sanford and Son hit television screens nationwide in the '70s. But it wasn't until The Cosby Show became a ratings juggernaut in the mid '80s that networks finally saw the potential in investing heavily in sitcoms with black leads. 133. And so the '90s became a decade in which more black sitcoms than ever made it onto TV 134. Naturally, given the success of The Cosby Show, a lot of shows that followed featured families. But they didn't just simply copy the formula. 135. The lives of younger people took center stage as well in the '90s. So, instead of being the token black friend within the larger context of a show, black teens, college students, 20-something professionals became the vehicle for funny and even poignant stories. 136. The '90s turned hugely talented black comedians and actors into stars who remain household names to this day, and it goes to show the impact that being given a seat at the table and a voice on prime time television can accomplish. 137. Here are 18 black '90s sitcoms that we love do this day for the impact they had on our lives then and now. 138. 'A Different World' (1987-1993): One of the show's major accomplishments was being among the first to tackle real issues like date rape, racism, and HIV, things that the Cosby Show had avoided. A Different World is the gem that created a bridge to the '90s black sitcom boom. 139. 'Family Matters' (1989-1997): The longest-running sitcom about a black family (it spanned nine seasons to The Cosby Show's eight), Family Matters was not only funny -- especially after introducing super-nerd Urkel -- but managed to balance big laughs with more serious moments. There were episodes that centered around civil rights history and police mistreatment of young black men, and a wide-ranging audience got to see them, thanks to the show's across-the-board popularity. 140. 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' (1990-1996): Nestled between Will Smith's rapping days and his status as one of the world's most bankable A-list movie stars was The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which made his a household name and produced one of the longest-running fan debates in TV history on which of the two actresses who played Aunt Viv was the best one. 141. 'Roc' (1991-1994): Before Charles S. Dutton went on to win three Emmys for his work on other shows, he starred in this underrated and brief series that was fairly typical sitcom until the second season, which aired each episode live. Roc was a treat because Dutton and several of the other cast members were trained stage actors. 142. 'Martin' (1992-1997): Martin Lawrence was all edge when he wasn't doing Martin. (One of his stand-up specials was slapped with an NC-17 rating, and he was banned from Saturday Night Live for delivering a hilariously raunchy monologue.) That makes it all the more interesting that on the show Martin, he played a lovably manic man-boy. We lost count of how many characters Martin played on the show (in disguise), each one of them hilarious in their own specific way. 143. 'Hangin' With Mr. Cooper' (1992-1997): This sitcom had a great cast, including comedian Raven-Symoné, Holly Robinson Peete, and Mark Curry. 144. 'Living Single' (1993-1998): The show marked the first time that we saw young black women portrayed as professionals and given well-rounded personalities, have healthy relationships, and pave the way for black female-centered shows - nlike Girlfriends and Insecure. 145. 'Sister, Sister' (1994-1999): There are so many reasons why we loved Sister,Sister, and one of them was that the show would occasionally break the fourth wall and talk directly to the audience, which made us feel part of the action. But the show also had layers that deepened its story: The girls had been the product of an interracial relationship between a black mom and a white dad who never had the chance to marry before being separated in tragic circumstances. 146. 'In The House' (1995-1999): It wasn't the world's best sitcom, but hey, LL Cool J has always been a snack. 147. 'The Parent 'Hood' (1995-1999): One of the four original Wednesday night shows that helped launched the WB (The Wayans Bros was another), what sets the show apart are the whimsical fantasy sequences that the dad dreams up to help him solve family issues in a creative and unexpected way. 148. 'The Wayans Bros.' (1995-1999): In Living Color, it's not, but this sitcom from younger Wayans siblings Shawn and Marlon is still simple fun that doesn't require too many brain cells -- and that can be a good thing. 149. 'Moesha' (1996-2001): Moesha centered around a black teenager diving into deeper explorations of all kinds of relationships and left cliffhangers in several story lines dangling when it was canceled. 150. 'The Jamie Foxx Show' (1996-2001): Fresh off the groundbreaking comedy sketch show In Living Color and before he becoming an movie star, Jamie Foxx starred as an aspiring actor who works at his relatives' hotel. 151. 'Kenan & Kel' (1996-2000): Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell were Nickelodeon's first black sitcom stars, having landed their own show when producers saw them joking around on the set of All That when they were series regulars. 152. 'The Steve Harvey Show' (1996-2002): A big highlight is the constant guest star roster that's a who's who of black TV stars and musicians -- like Snoop Dogg, Diddy, Kim Fields, and Ja’Net DuBois of the classic sitcom Good Times. 153. 'The Hughleys' (1998-2002): Two decades before Black-ish tackled a similar premise, The Hughleys featured a family that lives in a predominantly white neighborhood. 154. 'The Famous Jett Jackson' (1998-2001): This show had just 65 episodes but has a special place in our hearts as the first Disney Channel show to feature a black actor as the lead. The immensely talented and magnetic Lee Thompson Young starred as Jett Jackson, a kid who tries to live a normal life when he's not filming. Thompson tragically died at age 29, after struggling with bipolar disorder and depression, but the heartwarming show lives on. 155. 'The Parkers' (1999-2004): It's no surprise that one of the most down-to-earth black sitcoms from the '90s starred Mo'Nique as a single mom who dropped out of high school to raise her baby. 156. Question: Most Liked Show of the 90’s? 157. Vote: Best/most important/favorite pop culture item from 1999
Tonight on the Hope Prose Podcast, Bekah and Tara have the pure joy of being encouraged by Wendelin Van Dranaan, bestselling author of more than thirty novels, including the long-running Edgar-winning Sammy Keyes mystery series.Her novel Flipped, named a Top 100 Children's Novel for the 21st Century by SLJ, became a Warner Brothers feature film, and Shredderman became a Nickelodeon made-for-TV movie. In this interview, they chat with Wendelin about her first non-fiction book, Hope in the Mail, Reflections on Writing and Life which is part memoir, part craft guide, and part publishing insight. She shares about her own atypical start to writing, her patient journey toward publishing, her special relationship with her characters, and what extra exciting things are happening next for her!

Wendelin Van Draanen has written more than thirty novels for young readers and teens. She is the author of the 18-book Edgar-winning Sammy Keyes mystery series, and wrote Flipped, which was named a Top 100 Children's Novel for the 21st Century by SLJ and became a Warner Brothers feature film in 2010. Van Draanen has also created two four-book series for younger readers: • The Shredderman books became a Nickelodeon made-for-television movie and received the Christopher Award for “affirming the highest values of the human spirit.” The Gecko & Sticky books—fun read-alouds, perfect for reluctant readers—are a spinoff of the Shredderman series. Van Draanen's stand-alone titles include The Secret Life of Lincoln Jones (2017 winner of Bank Street College of Education's Josette Frank Award), Runaway, Confessions of a Serial Kisser, Swear to Howdy, The Running Dream (an ALA Schneider Award winner for its portrayal of the disability experience), and, most recently, her ALA 2019 “Best Fiction for Young Adults” title, Wild Bird, the story of a teenaged girl who gets forced into wilderness therapy after falling in with the wrong crowd. A high school teacher for fifteen years, Van Draanen is now a fulltime writer. She is married, has two sons, and lives on the central coast of California. Her first non-fiction book, Hope in the Mail; Reflections on Writing and Life, is part memoir, part writing guide, and part publishing insight, suitable for teen and adult readers, especially those who want to write. And I get the honor to interview her. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brian-young65/message
Editor Mari Kesselring and author Patrick Hueller share with me the story of how they met, each a set of identical twins with a love of literature, and how they work together now as writers, parents, and spouses. Mari tells me about her publisher, North Star Editions, and Patrick tells me about his newest book, READ AT YOUR OWN PERIL. We also talk author submissions, editorial styles, launching books in the time of COVID-19, reaching reluctant readers, how pantsers and plotters can apparently learn to love one another, and so much more. Mari Kesselring is an editor with experience working on many fiction and nonfiction books aimed at children and young adults. Some fiction books she’s edited have earned the following honors: YALSA Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers, Junior Library Guild Selection, and ALA Rainbow List. She enjoys YA novels with compelling narratives and distinct, diverse voices. Mari is also the author of several books, including the middle-grade series, Bridget Gadget. Patrick Hueller has an MFA from the University of Minnesota. Through various pen names, he has written several YA and MG novels. Foul, a sports-horror story written under the name Paul Hoblin, was described by Booklist as “the strongest entry yet in the Night Fall collection” and “unbearably tense.” The Beast (also as Paul Hoblin) was a School Library Journal selection. Wolf High and The Wish (as P.W. Hueller) both made SLJ’s list of “Accessible Reads for Struggling Reluctant Readers.” As himself, Patrick is the author of the STU STORIES series, which, according to award-winning author Geoff Herbach "hits on pretty much every topic I cared about when I was a kid (love, Jedis, severed legs, etc.). National Book Award finalist Charles Baxter described KIRSTEN HOWARD'S BIGGEST FAN as "beautifully written, with a concert-hall perfect pitch for adolescent speech and idiom and ways of feeling."
Lisa Moore Ramée was born and raised in Los Angeles and now lives in the Northern California, with her husband, two kids, two obnoxious cats and more yard than she can control. She earned a BA in Speech Communications from San Francisco State and a MA in English Literature (focusing on Creative Writing) from Cal State East Bay. She worked for several years in publishing for the Walt Disney Company, first in comics, and then with licensed publishing. While there, she co-penned The Little Mermaid, Jr. Graphic Novel and the writing bug took up permanent residence. She is a devotee of Top Chef and Project Runway and often tries to work the shows in her plots. A Good Kind of Trouble, her first novel, received critical acclaim, garnering three starred reviews (PW, Kirkus and SLJ). Something to Say has received two starred reviews (Kirkus and SLJ). https://www.lisamooreramee.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dallas-woodburn/support
Episode 16: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. In this episode we discuss the lovely umbrella term of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) which plagues so many of our young athletes. We discuss our previous experiences with it, ways to differential diagnose between other anterior knee pain conditions (SLJ, Osgood, Patellar Tendinopathy), and how we approach these clients today. Cheers everyone
Listen along as The Story Seeds Podcast host Betsy Bird chats with Chris Grabenstein (author of The New York Times best-selling Mr. Lemoncello's Library series).

He also talks to Betsy about his writing career: starting from the school newspaper, to his jobs in advertising creating commercials for Burger King with his buddy (and boss at the time) James Patterson, to finally becoming the best-selling author of books for kids.

0:21 LincDo you think we'll see Donald Glover reprise Aaron Davis as Prowler in Spider-Man 3? It'd be a nice way to eventually get to setting up Miles Morales.1:05 Giuseppe VicarettiOnly because I was thinking about it myself, but if you were in Peter's shoes during this film, would you have done the same thing and give the glasses to Quentin, or would you have given the glasses to Fury and try have him accept the fact that you weren't ready for this responsibility but still want to be Spider-Man, just not during your school trip? I for one would have given them to Fury.2:33 Alex WardHow would you like to see Jessica Drew show up in the MCU, and which film do you think she'd best fit? Also, do you know if the rights to her character belong to Sony?4:06 callahanHas James Gunn confirmed / revealed the final Easter egg from GOTG1?4:52 Paul ShearmanHey Sean, hope you enjoyed the 4th July celebrations last week. I've had another couple of watches of Far From Home now, and one thing I picked up on the last watch was when Peter was swinging across town to meet MJ, he jumped across the roof of a building that looked almost exactly like the town house where Norman Osborn lived in the Toby Maguire Spider-Man movies. Is that just coincidence, an Easter egg, or just my eyes not being as good as when I used to be young and cool! Thanks in advance, the new Q&A format on the discord is great, and enjoy your week!6:29 MayaHey Sean! Given Kraven's Russian origins, do you think it is likely he will appear in the Black Widow film? Not necessarily as a villain, but in any capacity.7:32 Woo S KimSean, do you have any favorite Best Buy Steelbook cover art? Mine is “Captain Marvel.”8:42 Woo S KimWhat do you believe is one of the biggest turning point moments on screen and off for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, for example, the Hydra reveal in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.?”18:27 Alex WardWhat do you think of the in-universe term "the Blip"? I'm pretty indifferent but it would make sense that no one would refer to Thanos snapping his fingers since they might not be privy to that detail.19:46 MayaKind of related to my previous question, I believe Marvel Studios will use an element of the Black Widow film to tie in with the future of the MCU, even though it takes place in the past. Much like how Skrulls were introduced in Captain Marvel, but will have a presence in later films. Do you agree? And if so, do you have characters, organizations, or any other elements you predict will be in BW that will eventually resurface in later films?21:17 Alex WardWith Far From Home, it sort of hammered home my idea that MCU films feel less like their own sub-franchises, and more like anthology-style entries into the overarching Marvel tapestry. Just to be clear, I'm not saying this is good or bad, but just an observation of a potential shift in the way these films are handled. Do you think audiences mostly see these movies because they want to know what's next for the film's character, such as Spider-Man, or because they want to know what happens next in the Marvel universe? I know it is probably both, but I think it's definitely leaning heavily toward the latter. Okay, thanks for bearing with me and have a great week!24:04 Jeremy WatsonHey Sean! My son and I came across Iron Man 3 the other day on tv and I have 2 questions regarding that movie. 1. In the "House Party Protocol " scene towards the end of the movie, Tony tells Rhodes that none of the suits are coded to him so that is why he can't wear a suit. However, both President Ellis and Savin and able to use Rhodes' Iron Patriot suit. How are they able to use that suit if it is not coded to them? 2. During the "Barrel Full of Monkey's" scene, after Tony rescues everybody and his suit is subsequently demolished by the semi, do you think truck driver had an "oh shit, I just killed Iron Man!" moment? Thanks and keep up the great work!26:25 Michael WeaselboyHey Sean I know you have talked about Norman Osborn and the Green Goblin a bit but I just want to ask hypothetically if Norman did become the Goblin in Spider-Man 3, how would you want him to look?27:32 steven_84Hi Sean! My question is about introducing Ms. Marvel/Kamala Kahn. I don't think there is any doubt they will do a solo film franchise for her and I'm excited for it. However, I do think her origin poses two specific challenges:1. She is an Inhuman, which was a concept introduced on Marvel Television. While it makes sense to connect her to both the Kree and Carol, would Marvel Studios want to use and/or retcon the concept of Inhumans? 2. Her powers are very similar to Reed Richards, who will also join the MCU soon. How could they tweak her powers (or Reed's) to differentiate them? Or should they not worry about that? Thanks for everything you do, I just joined recently and I'm really enjoying the content!31:04 steven_84Considering all of the other series we've heard about, why don't you think Rhodey landed in the Disney + discussion if he isn't getting a movie? If his story is going to play out in other characters' movies, which movies do you see him in? What would be more interesting; him becoming actual part Machine in the movies like he did in the comics for a bit, or an “Armor Wars” mini-series on Disney +? 33:17 Kerry VanderbergWhile I am fine with Zendaya's performance as MJ, I'm not sold on her as being Peter's greatest love. Do you believe that Mary Jane Watson exists somewhere in the MCU and that Peter could encounter her sometime in the future? Perhaps if we see Peter in his college years as Spider-Man?34:45 LincGiven Jackson's statements that he's far from retiring, how would you feel about them making a Fury solo film towards the end of the 4th phase? Maybe less a retrospective than letting us see how he dies? A real hero send-off would be great, because we won't have SLJ fit enough to do the physical stuff for that many more years.36:21 ATLawrey24We all know Marvel Studios plans out their stories so they intertwine but I am curious you're thoughts on this. It's no secret Rocket loves to steal body parts, but, do you think it was planned in advance that Rocket would be the one to give Thor an eye in Infinity War or do you think it was just a coincidence? Did Thor lose his eye just so it would give him and Rocket one more layer to their relationship? I'm a big fan of what you and Paul are doing, so thank you. 38:05 Jake WadeAs we now have evidence that the MCU isn't afraid to re-use actors if it fits with JK Simmons reprising his role as JJJ, would you like to see Alfred Molina return as Dr Octopus in a future Spider-Man film? For me, he was perfectly cast and would love to see him reprise the role. If you would rather not see him return, who would your ideal casting be for Doc Ock?40:32 GioWere you a bit disappointed we didn't get more Aunt May in FFH? Also, why do you think that her accepting Peter as SM was left out or not even really addressed?42:04 Bill Van NormanHi Sean and Patrons - do you think that Talos and Soren (as Fury and Hill) believed Beck's multiverse story because they are aware of the existence of the multiverse already? I just find it hard to believe that they would be gullible - for me his story had to be plausible to them at some level. We all believed it could be possible since we know that the multiverse exists and our skepticism was only because of Mysterio. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What better time to introduce Kate to the work of Dave McKean than when it's almost Halloween! Betsy tries to give her sister a good dose of nightmare fuel, but somehow the two just end up talking about what an old wolf melody would sound like and whether Dave McKean has ever drawn a bunny (he has... and it's weird). Source Notes: - There was indeed a virtual reality version of The Wolves in the Walls. Variety Magazine had the scoop, and they even made a trailer for it. Behold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLp07Grch-o - The video quality is not the best, but this will give you some sense of the stage production of The Wolves in the Walls that occurred: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_P4AxAagHU - As Betsy mentioned, this past weekend she interviewed Adam Gidwitz at SLJ's Summit. His new podcast Grimm Grimmer Grimmest is more than a little delightful.

We've finally done it! We've found a movie Deana Marie loves which may not appeal quite as much to Jeremy - Snakes on a Plane. This is classic Samuel L Jackson, although there aren't as many MFs as you might expect in a SLJ movie. Not to worry, our hosts more than make up for that. Deana Marie and Jeremy talk about snakes, snakes and more snakes, plus a bird that speaks with an Australian accent. Tune in to find out why this movie, which was an internet sensation before its release, is a favorite for Deana Marie's. How Jeremy managed to suffer through this one is anyone's guess.
Mother's Day isn't exactly around the corner, but this episode is basically Kate and Betsy's present to their mom. She's been bugging them to do this particular book for ages. Certainly that Caldecott Honor in the corner of the cover gives it the necessary picture book classics cred. Show Notes: - Want to see one of Paul's ties?

Spooky October offerings continue with a book that Kate calls "Hunger Games . . . but cats!" Special guest James Kennedy joins us for a talk about cannibalistic kitties, stating accurately, "Of all of the children's books, maybe all the books ever written, this one has the highest body count." Along the way you are privy to an acapella rendition of the theme song, bad John Travolta puns, and lots of Yacht Rock. - Be sure to read The Order of Odd Fish by James Kennedy. SLJ called it "depraved"!

We're back! Kate's voice has healed up so the sisters sit down to talk about our first Seuss. And what a Seuss it is too. Just in time for Banned Books Week they consider what should, in many ways, be Seuss's most controversial picture book. Along the way there may also be some talk about Bill Cosby, nerds, and raves. Show Notes: - Here is ALA’s list of Frequently Challenged Books for 2016. https://www.ila.org/content/documents/2016banned.pdf - Like I say, I found nuthin’.

I highly recommend this 45-minute illustrated lecture on the topic. https://plus.google.com/+PhilipNel/posts/3t6xoesSycm - An interesting recent article from the New York Times on Dr. Seuss, his caricatures of WWII, and how the Dr. Seuss Museum prefers not to talk about any of that (at this time). https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/21/arts/design/dr-seuss-museum-theodor-geisel-political-cartoons.html - An SLJ article on Read Across America’s recent decision to not highlight Seuss but diverse books instead. http://www.slj.com/2017/09/industry-news/cat-hat-racist-read-across-america-shifts-away-dr-seuss-toward-diverse-books/ - Here is how the official challenge to If I Ran the Zoo reads: “Geisel, Theodor Seuss If I Ran the Zoo RANDOM HOUSE Challenged, but retained at the Vancouver, Canada, Public Library (2014) despite a line in the poem about helpers who “all wear their eyes at a slant,” accompanied by illustrations that are racial stereotypes of Asians. The book is often credited with the first printed modern English use of the word “nerd” in a sentence. The library will no longer read it at storytime or promote it other than as resource material in a study of how the portrayal of other cultures has changed over time.” - Universal Studio’s If I Ran the Zoo portion of Seuss Landing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofyYmAryEus - Video of the woman reading this book.

Show notes: http://bit.ly/2jry1wd Two Week Catch-Up: Robert reads Game of Thrones & Clash of Kings & watches The Hitman's Bodyguard & American Made Jermaine complains about Nintendo, works a ton, and discovers that Game of Thrones is a television show-- he binge-watches the entire series over Labor Day weekend-- "It is sweet, delicious candy!" Jenny buys a new headset and mouse, plays World of Warships, and sends the kids back to school Darrell takes two days off of work, watches The Strain, The League, Shooter, and is excited about Salvation Nerdy News: Very few US workers worried about tech making their jobs obsolete Robert: "What about automated kiosks and tellers?" Jermaine: "You gotta watch out for inflation!" Jenny: "Higher wages lead to higher prices for everything!" Darrell: "How are you going to get millionaires and billionaires to go for this?" Movie theater company stocks plunge Jermaine: "The movie companies need to innovate and take advantage of technology! Also, the decreasing quality of movies certainly don't help" Darrell: "There's not a captive audience waiting for you to release stuff. Also, China's box office increased 24%!" Robert: "How can theater chains better monetize their unique selling proposition? The big screens, surround sound, and comfortable seats." Jenny: "The technology at home is just so much better too. Here in Canada, Cineplex streams new movies directly into your home!" Reviews: Death Note - Anime Robert: "Death Note is a masterpiece. It's consistently ranked as the top anime that people who don't even like anime need to watch. The moral complexity and ambiguity are fun to think about for me. Recommend!" Jermaine: "What moral ambiguity? I didn't get that! To me, that kid is a nut bag. He is cuckoo for Coca Puffs. 100% Recommend." Jenny: "I smell some serious kind of crazy. The justice system works. Why do you need to go around killing people in jail? Recommend." Darrell: "If you cross Light in any way, you have a chance of dying. Definitely recommend." Death Note - Netflix Jermaine: "First half of the movie the worst movie I've ever seen. Second half picks up considerably. What works in anime just can't work in an American movie. I don't recommend." Jenny: "Two completely different worlds. Reminded me of Kill Bill Vol 1 + 2. I don't recommend." Darrell: "This should have never been Americanized. It was a poor idea from beginning to end. It's a movie. Don't compare it to the anime. I liked the character, L, in the movie though and found his quirkiness endearing. I recommend with the caveat, do not expect the anime." Robert: "If you approach the movie without thinking at all of the anime, I think it works. Movie is very stylishly done. Also, in the American version, the girlfriend role has been strongly empowered compared to the anime characterization. Recommend. I think it's as good as it possibly could've been." Recommendations: Jermaine reads Sufficiently Advanced Magic by Andrew Rowe-- "Reminds me of Patrick Rothfuss. Great character building, so good." Jenny plays Dominion-- "It's a lot of fun and quick. Every time you play it, it's a different game!" Darrell recommends The Hitman's Bodyguard-- "Though it has mixed reviews, I enjoyed it. Great comedy with over-the-top language. SLJ is a thousand years old though!" Robert watches American Made-- "Based on a true story! There comes a moment in all of our lives where we need to choose between the mundane and the extraordinary." Credits: Dark Warrior Duck "I can't develop feelings. That's how most idiots screw up."

Samuel L Jackson may be the greatest actor to ever have lived. That may be a bit of an overstatement. What is definitely not an overstatement is that he has played some of the most memorable characters in the history of film. You've got Nick Fury. You've got Jules Winnfield, You've got Shaft. We at Mad Bracket Status have set up a bracket to look at all of his various performances in an attempt to tease out the Samuelest Jackson. This week we talk with board game designer and SLJ enthusiast, Frank DiCola. Frank offers his opinion on where the Star Wars prequels went wrong. DJ gets an education why those monkey fighting snakes were on that Monday to Friday plane. We even tease out some of the issues with the Amazing Spiderman 2 even though we are well aware that it has nothing to do with SLJ. Vote all week on the Samuelest Jackson at www.madbracketstatus.com/p/polls.html

Here's the eagerly anticipated part two of our Sphere episode technical problems are one of my fears and this caused a giant squid to scare our computer (jerry) into throwing a tantrum! never fear part two is here.
The working title for this weeks show is Games, Dames & Diddy Wah Diddies but I've got a short attention span and usually stray way off the path so why should this be any different? Blind Blake recorded "Diddie Wah Diddie" around 1928 I'd 'recon....it's a masterful ragtime guitar tune where not too many answers for just what the fuck it is....intercourse, sex, penis are all candidates claiming the prize....but whether any of them get the gold is in the ears of the listener.....Starting off the Podcast with some upgrade 45's to the DRR Show...first is Roky Erickson & Arthur Lee's bastard child...Nova Local with their first slab of 7" wax "Games"..so at least we start the show off staying on course....focus, Mickster, focus......Don Gardner's ultra hip floor filler "My baby likes to boogaloo" hits the turntable running followed by an original first pressing of The Shondells' "Thunderbolt" on Snap. Thunderbolt is the b-side of the original recording of Tommy James & the Shondells frat hit "Hanky Panky" that was waxed in 1964 and just credited to The Shondells...by the time the song became a huge hit the band had broken up and James assembled a new lineup to go out on tour...you can read all about it in the terrific book by TJ tittled: Me, the Mob and the Music..Fabienne Delsol closes out the first set singin' to her mystery man "Mr. Mystery".The second set of music features soundbites by Samuel L. Jackson. SLJ is one of my favorite actors and if not only for Pulp Fiction should have glommed an Oscar...he was fantastic! And speaking of fantastic Captain Beefheart opens up the awards show with his first 45 rpm "Diddy Wah Diddy" on A&M records produced by David Gates of Bread fame....yikes! Samuel L follows up with some witty repartee before the Boonerasss!! from Germany give Dave Davies' "One Fine Day" a ride....SLJ with the immortal "Shup Up" soundbite before one of my favs Cub Koda offa his CUB DIGS BO hooky lau with "Mumblin' Guitar"...yeowza!! SLJ brings us back to earth with "Ezekiel" and the Golden Gate Quartet take the bait with a fire & brimstone 78 rpm "Jezebel" from 1941 on the Okeh record label. .... now sit down while your reading this....Rush opens the card at the podium and declares the Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things" as the winner...it's off of their really great 8 song EP that only came out on vinyl called FEEDBACK.....We still got some way to go, brothers & sisters, so don't leave the room because Georgio Morodor serves up a pretty cool synthesizer-less song off his LP from 1972 simply called "Son of My Father". It's from waaaayyyyy back when Morodor was just calling himself Georgio which for my money is the best crap he's ever done! In the words of Al Gore....."debate over, debate over...." Hey...speaking of Al Gore....do you think Tipper got tired of hearing how Bush stole the election from him or do you think that she got tired of listening to AG talking about Global Warming OR do you think she was doing the Diddy Wah Diddy with one of the farm hands on their palatial estate down thar in 'V'ginny? Gore's electric bill tipped $20,000 smackeroos per month...now THAT'S a carbon footprint. But on to less boring things than Al & Tipper....one more thing....how ahead of her time was The Tip on the Parential Advisory Warnings? 'eh?Link Wray doesn't give a flying diddy wah diddy so he keeps his mouth shut and plays his guitar like Tipper's nemesis Frank Zappa...a short moment of silence for FZ......ok.....now Link deserves a R.I.P. shoutout but my ears are still ringing from when I saw him at Asbury Lanes a couple of years ago....holy shit .....I didn't have to clean the wax out for a friggin year!! focus....focus....Link blows away the competion with "The Wild One" off of ACE Records 2007 release THE PATHWAY SESSIONS...a must have for all you headbanging metal morons....let Link show ya how it's done.Switiching gears The West Coast Pop Art & Experimental Band read "A Childs Guide To Good & Evil" .....somehow it m
