In 1986, with the global economy in ruins, the Americans and the Soviets were ready to launch a full-scale nuclear exchange when the United Gray Consortium stepped in, made first contact, and brought the escalation to a halt. In the years since, Grays and other races of the Consortium explored Earth to experience its many authentic, primitive cultures. They discovered the miraculous elixir “coffee.” Brad, a Gray who initially came to Earth as a volunteer, immigrated to New Orleans with a plan to export coffee from Earth to the civilized worlds in the Consortium. There's only one problem: The Consortium does not allow coffee imports since they see it as a drug requiring decades of study. With an addictive product, eager customers, but no legal way to sell it, Brad takes a page from his human friends. If you like our work, you can donate at Mixtapestories.net or at Patreon/MixtapeStories.

How do you turn a cheeky side hustle into one of Australia’s most recognisable swimwear brands? In this episode, Adam Linforth shares exactly how he did it. From starting in a “safe” career in banking to buying Budgy Smuggler on a whim, Adam turned a hyper-seasonal, zero-order product into a global brand worn by tradies, footy players, and surf lifesavers alike. He dives into why he’d rather fail at something he loves than chase someone else’s idea of success, how keeping it simple and fun built a cult following, the lessons learned from copycats and legal drama, and why nailing your backyard before taking on the world is the best business advice he’s ever received.

We sit down with filmmaker Elliott Hasler about the making of Vindication Swim, a period sports drama inspired by Mercedes Gleitze—the first British woman to swim the English Channel in 1927. Shot over three years entirely in open water, the film demanded extraordinary perseverance from its cast and crew, with lead actor Kirsten Callaghan performing all her own swims and no visual effects or body doubles in sight.Elliott shares how the team navigated unpredictable tides, safety challenges, and a micro-budget while maintaining historical authenticity and cinematic scale. From coordinating small, agile crews to rebuilding the film's entire soundscape in post, Vindication Swim became a testament in indie filmmaking ingenuity. Despite its modest resources, the film went on to play in over 300 cinemas for 18 weeks and break into the UK box office top 20.Elliott reflects on the resilience, creativity, and community spirit that powered the project—and how telling real stories of perseverance mirrors his own journey as a filmmaker. Vindication Swim opens in New York City on October 17, followed by select U.S. screenings and a digital release in November.About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

Ricardo Morales, Jr. joins us LIVE tonight to talk about his new book and his father, the infamous Ricardo "Monkey" Morales. The legend of Cuban exile turned US government operative Ricardo Morales Navarrete has been known in espionage circles for decades. Dubbed “The Monkey” for his disruptive and unpredictable escapades, Morales grabbed headlines for decades as tales of his bombings, arrests, assassination attempts (both those he executed and those he suffered), and testimony constructed a real-life spy adventure unlike anything brought to page or screen. His story delves into diverse aspects of American history, including our nation's conflict with Cuba, our anti-communism military support overseas, JFK's story before and after the Bay of Pigs, Operation 40, and the explosion of the illegal narcotics industry in 1970s Miami. Morales was a contract agent for the CIA and a valuable asset for the FBI; he even shared how he'd met Lee Harvey Oswald at a CIA camp in Florida before JFK's assassination. Morales's counterintelligence skills-for-hire were also a prized utility for Cuban drug kingpins in Miami, many of whom were discarded ex-CIA operatives.Buy the book - https://a.co/d/1XnkG0jWebsite - https://monkeymorales.comThe Coldest Cup - http://snwbl.io/TLG10Silk City Hot Sauce - https://silkcityhotsauce.com Use our code GUNMAN for 20% off entire order at checkout.Cousin Emily's Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@emilyseverything1465Music By - Lee Harold OswaldA Loose Moose ProductionBBB&JOEBBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lone-gunman-podcast-jfk-assassination--1181353/support.

We sit down once again with Will French from Fallbrook Financial Services, a pioneering figure in film tax credits and global production finance. Will has overseen hundreds of projects and is widely regarded as a thought leader in the intersection of film, policy, and economics. During the last conversation, we laid important groundwork on international incentives, tariffs, and the cost structures shaping production worldwide. This time, the stakes are even higher as the film industry faces an unprecedented policy debate.With President Trump's former announcement of a proposed 100% tariff on all foreign-made films distributed in the U.S., Cameron and Will dive into the legality, feasibility, and far-reaching consequences of such a move. Will explains how tariffs typically function in manufacturing sectors and why film—largely a digital export industry—presents unique enforcement challenges. He walks listeners through the ripple effects tariffs could trigger, from reciprocal taxes by foreign governments to the potential hollowing out of one of America's strongest export industries.The discussion also explores the economic realities driving production overseas, including the rising cost of domestic labor following recent guild strikes and the powerful pull of international tax incentives. Will highlights the vulnerabilities of the U.S. model and sketches out a potential path forward—arguing for a federal incentive program that could complement state-level tax credits and help retain production jobs at home. By comparing U.S. policy gaps with systems in Canada and Australia, he demonstrates what a practical, enforceable approach might look like.This is a conversation about more than just tariffs. It's about the future of American filmmaking, cultural export, and the global chessboard of film finance. Join us for an insightful, nonpartisan discussion that pulls back the curtain on how policy decisions made in Washington could reverberate through studios, streaming platforms, and sets across the world.About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Nick Brewer, founder of Primal Moves—a method born from his own healing journey. Once a pro skier turned drug smuggler, he spent ten years in prison, including four in solitary, where he discovered the power of breath and movement to rebuild his body and mind. I had the chance to try Nick's class myself, and I was struck by how powerful such simple movements can be. I'm excited to share that experience with you. You can watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. [YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL] We discuss: • How to spot when your nervous system is stuck—and steps to restore balance • Why talk therapy alone can't release trauma in the body • How group movement triggers natural feel-good brain chemistry • Why we feel cut off from our bodies and how to reconnect Healing starts in the body. By working through stress and pain, we gain the strength and energy to show up fully in life. My hope is that this conversation encourages you to explore these practices and see what they unlock for you.

We sit down with Taylor Hardy, Commissioner at the Fort Worth Film Commission and Director of Video Content at Visit Fort Worth, to explore how this once-overlooked city has transformed into a go-to destination for major productions like 1883, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, and even music videos from artists like Kendrick Lamar.Taylor shares how it all started. Back in 2015, Fort Worth didn't even have a film office. Fast forward to today, and it's hosting large-scale productions and attracting top-tier talent. Taylor walks us through that journey—from scouting locations herself as an intern to building a film-friendly culture rooted in community, collaboration, and a can-do attitude.Taylor highlights the city's hands-on approach—from helping with scouting and permits to offering hotel rebates and travel support. She also touches on the city's new training initiative, the Fort Worth Film Collaborative, which helps locals jump into film work by applying existing skills to the production world. With over 200 students already enrolled, it's a clear sign of the city's investment in long-term industry growth.Taylor also breaks down the state's revamped film incentive program and shares how Fort Worth helps productions access these benefits while also offering additional support through local programs and community outreach.Whether you're a producer looking for a new filming location, a filmmaker navigating state incentives, or someone building out a local crew, this episode is a must-listen.About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

It's August, and Star Wars news has been scarce for most of the month. Leave it to the last few days for a few notable updates to casts and crews to pop up.Voting for the Academy Awards has finished, but Andor made a push on YouTube with clips and character reels up to the last moment. LEGO revealed a trailer for new episodes of the Rebuild the Galaxy series coming next month, but there's also the possibility you'll be able to put real blocks together to remake the Death Star. ILM pats itself on the back with an article about VR gaming. Oga's Cantina goes standby in California and Smuggler's Run will be getting new routes.Feel free to take part in contributing ideas and commenting on our podcasts, on Spotify, YouTube, Facebook, Amazon's podcast portal, or even Discord.

We dive into the gritty and electrifying world of independent horror filmmaking with director and producer Joe Begos. Known for his visually arresting style and commitment to practical, in-camera effects, Joe shares the unfiltered story of how he built a career outside the traditional studio system.Joe walks us through his unconventional path, from early childhood fascination with horror to the decision to skip film school and make movies the hard way. He recounts the experience of making his first feature on credit cards and pure hustle to create a film that landed on a major festival stage and launched his career. That same DIY ethos carried through to his next projects, where he refined his skills not just as a director, but as a producer, cinematographer, and even editor, learning every part of the process.Throughout the conversation, Joe opens up about the evolving challenges of staying independent while growing as an artist. From raising money and managing crew to navigating creative control and working within tight budgets, he offers an honest look at what it takes to keep your vision intact in a collaborative—and often unpredictable—industry. He shares how each film pushed him to learn something new, and how embracing limitations often led to his most creative breakthroughs.We also explore Joe's latest film, Jimmy and Stiggs, a deeply personal project built almost entirely in his apartment over four years. What began as a response to the creative paralysis of the pandemic became a full-fledged feature, and now slated for a wide theatrical release through a major new distribution label. Join us for a raw and inspiring conversation where we explore what it truly means to stay creative and resourceful throughout the ups and downs of production.About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

✨ Episode Summary:Welcome back to the second installment of our original Star Wars trilogy of episodes! This time, Scott and Candice are joined once again by Jackson and Andy to dive lightsaber-first into all things Galaxy's Edge at Disney Parks.From motion sickness on Smuggler's Run to disappointing breakfasts and mysterious cast member detours that derailed a moment in the Millennium Falcon, the crew shares their weirdest, most disappointing, and most magical moments from their trips to Batuu. We also confront the fuzzy tauntauns, DJ Rex's distracting beats, and—let's be honest—our own podcasting mishaps along the way. (Yes, there was a recording snafu. Yes, we made a joke about it.)The gang explores whether Disney hit the mark with Batuu's storyline, the timeline focus on the sequel trilogy, and whether the land should have embraced the nostalgic might of Vader, Leia, and the OG stormtroopers. Plus, they dream up some incredible additions that Disney really should consider—including a character dining experience on Cloud City with a surprise visit from Darth Vader himself.

We sit down with Emmy-winning TV producer Clara Plestis, whose work as an executive at Smart Dog Media, helped redefine what family-friendly television can be. Clara has been instrumental in shaping formats that blend high-concept experimentation with broad appeal, from AI-powered dating shows to variety competitions. Her work demonstrates that entertainment aimed at mass audiences doesn't have to be safe or predictable—it can be surprising, ambitious, and culturally resonant.Clara walks us through the creative decisions behind Song vs. Dance, a Japanese-American co-production that combines performance, gaming, and visual flair into a highly original competition format. She also opens up about the bold choices behind Love by AI, a provocative dating experiment that hands matchmaking—and even the date experience itself—over to artificial intelligence. Through these shows, Clara reveals what it really takes to push fresh concepts through the development process: a deep understanding of global markets, strong format discipline, and the confidence to take calculated risks.Join us for a deep dive into Clara's process and what she sees on the horizon for television development.About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

Goodfellas meets Savages meets Catch Me If You Can in this true tale of high-stakes smuggling from pot's outlaw years. Richard Stratton was the unlikeliest of kingpins. A clean-cut Wellesley boy who entered outlaw culture on a trip to Mexico, he saw his search for a joint morph into a thrill-filled dope run, smuggling two kilos across the border in his car door. He became a member of the Hippie Mafia, traveling the world to keep America high, living the underground life while embracing the hippie credo, rejecting hard drugs in favor of marijuana and hashish. With cameos by Whitey Bulger and Norman Mailer, Smuggler's Blues tells Stratton's adventure while centering on his last years as he travels from New York to Lebanon's Bekaa Valley to source and smuggle high-grade hash in the midst of civil war, from the Caribbean to the backwoods of Maine, and from the Chelsea Hotel to the Plaza as his fortunes rise and fall. All the while he is being pursued by his nemesis, a philosophical DEA agent who respects him for his good business practices. A true-crime story that sounds like fiction, Smuggler's Blues is a psychedelic road trip through international drug smuggling, the hippie underground, and the war on weed. As Big Marijuana emerges, it brings to vivid life an important chapter in pot's cultural history.https://amzn.to/3TMQu4xBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
