Sylvia Feliciano of Solace Mind hosts this edition of the Mother's Justice Show and welcomes Shomari Jones and Jarrell Marshall to the show. Ine the first half of the show Sylvia is joined by Shomari Jones to ask "Brother, How Are You Really?" Shomari Jones is a nationally recognized equity strategist and community advocate with over two decades of experience leading systems change in education, nonprofit, and public sectors. As Principal Lead of The Bridge Consultancy, he helps organizations move beyond performative equity work to create sustainable, justice-driven impact. A former Director of Equity and Strategic Engagement for the Bellevue School District, Shomari has also held leadership roles at the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle, the YMCA, and the College Success Foundation. He is a proud graduate of Tuskegee University and Leadership Tomorrow (Seattle), and was honored by Education Week as a “Leader to Learn From.” Then in the second half Jarrell Marshall joins the conversation to talk "Reentry & Mental Health." Jarrelle is the Executive Director of RECLAIM which is a nonprofit that exists at the intersection of reentry and mental health. As the grandson and son of people directly impacted and traumatized by the criminal legal system, Jarrelle is someone who understands that there is more to an individual's worth and value than their experiences with trauma and the institutions that cause further trauma. Not only is Jarrelle on his own journey of healing, feeling and reintegration, he is committed to utilizing his access to resources to forge and cultivate the relationships necessary to ensure that the community members who RECLAIM serves have access to the resources they need to be supported, to be held, and to flourish.

Why does the movie take so long to get to New York City? What in the hell were they thinking with the multiple crotch grab “gags”? Who packs a sexy bathing suit for a hike through the bush? Does the script confirm that Mick has magic powers? Wouldn't someone try to kill Mick after he wastes all that coke at the party? And what in the WORLD are we doing being barefoot in the subway at the end?! PLUS: Be on the lookout for the American Crocodile Dundee, Alligator Johnson! Crocodile Dundee stars Paul Hogan, Linda Kozlowski, John Mellon, David Gulpilil, Steve Rackman, Mark Blum, Michael Lombard, and Reginald VelJohnson as Gus; directed by Peter Faiman.

Having met his poetic rival, Forese Donati, Dante the pilgrim must make sense of the clear and present pain he sees in friend's face.This passage is a curious example of felix culpa, the fortunate fall, in which suffering must be reinterpreted for the greater good. Except the pain doesn't stop being the pain. Suffering remains the central metaphysical question of the human condition, the experiential crux underneath our high-minded notions of ontology.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we work through this conversation between two poetic rivals on the sixth terrace of Mount Purgatory among the emaciated gluttons.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:42] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXIII, lines 49 - 75. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me, please find the entry for this episode on my website, markscarbrough.com.[04:08] Best friends, still perhaps vain, still perhaps rivals.[10:39] A power in the water and the tree--and an intense interpretive knot.[14:56] The problem of hunger and thirst among disembodied souls.[18:50] The interpretation of suffering as the crux of being human.[26:15] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXIII, lines 49 - 75.
“There're piles of skulls, which of course I appreciate” - Steve on the set design On this week's episode, Totally Cool Awesome 80s Month and the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza pay tribute to the late, great Val Kilmer with a convo about the super-fun Ron Howard fantasy flick, Willow! How amazing are Warwick and Val together on screen? Isn't it refreshing that Davis was just allowed to put a shirt on and be this character, without getting covered in prosthetics or whatever else? Wouldn't things have been just fine in this movie without the Brownies flying around? And how amazing is that two-headed Siskel & Ebert monster? PLUS: Queen Bavmorda accidentally touches The Ooze and becomes Super Bavmorda (and is also played by Kevin Nash)! Willow stars Warwick Davis, Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley, Jean Marsh, Patricia Hayes, Billy Barty, Mark Northover, Pat Roach, David Sternberg, Phil Fondacaro, Tony Cox, Kevin Pollak, Rick Overton, and Gavan O'Herlihy as Airk; directed by Ron Howard.

In this episode, Oliver Cronk dives into the world of Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) with Tom Fairbairn from Solace and Scott Logic's Gordon Campbell. The discussion explores whether EDA has matured beyond the hype into a practical strategy for modern systems integration, or if it's just another architectural buzzword. Together, they unpack the core principles of EDA, its role in taming point-to-point integration chaos, and how asynchronous processing can help smooth demand spikes. Drawing on real-world examples from finance, retail, and public sector projects, the conversation highlights the power and pitfalls of adopting EDA. Whether you're navigating legacy systems, planning a cloud migration, or exploring AI integration, this episode offers a grounded perspective on when – and when not – to go event-driven.

“I would encourage you, as I do if you're an actor, to know your own equipment, know your own psychology, and use the great teachers that are synthesized in my favorite teacher's book, Moss, who I studied with later. There is a book called Intent to Live that distills down Uta Hagen, Stella Adler, Bobby Lewis, and Stanislavski. The great teachers at the Group Theatre believed that the method needed to be altered to be constructive rather than destructive to artists.David Milch's mind is so singular because he uses language in a way that defines character. That's what all good writers do: use language to get to the heart of something. He would use malapropisms to make up words, and Milch loved playing with that. As someone who played the love interest of such a unique character as Andy Sipowicz, I found it fascinating.Through Sylvia and David Milch's understanding, his wife humanized him. Sipowicz was portrayed as an addict, a very flawed human who had many addictions. David Milch is now suffering from Alzheimer's, so we won't get his words again. However, the words that he has to offer are timeless because he studied Robert Penn Warren and had many mentors throughout his vast literary education. That is key. I love speaking Noël Coward's words. As a bon vivant, he wrote musically, to charm us and amuse us. So going and reading Noël Coward is important for actors to learn those cadences and the musicality of a certain era. Of course, Shakespeare comes to mind. I also think of the female playwrights who delight me now, whether it's Caryl Churchill. She has that singular mind and plays with gender so well, challenging gender norms. Seeing ‘Cloud Nine' when I was in college blew my mind open because men were playing women and women were playing men. Of course, Shakespeare was doing it too, but her work felt more intimate; it was in a small theater. That's another thing I encourage actors and audiences to do: go see things in small theaters. See it up close because that will excite you and help you learn the craft.”Sharon Lawrence is an acclaimed actress best known for her Emmy-nominated, SAG Award-winning role as ADA Sylvia Costas on NYPD Blue. She has delivered memorable performances in Desperate Housewives, Monk, Law & Order: SVU, Criminal Minds, Shameless, and Queen Sugar. On stage, she's earned praise for roles in The Shot (a one-woman play about the owner/publisher of the Washington Post, Katharine Graham), Orson's Shadow, and A Song at Twilight. Shestarred in Broadway revivals of Cabaret, Chicago, and Fiddler on the Roof. Her recent work includes the neo-Western series Joe Pickett, opposite Michael Dorman, and the films Solace with Anthony Hopkins and The Bridge Partner. Lawrence is also a dedicated advocate, serving on the boards of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, WeForShe, and Heal the Bay, and is a former Chair of the Women In Film Foundation.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram@sharonelawrence@creativeprocesspodcast

“That transformation was key to my next step as an artist, to knowing that's what acting is. It isn't just posing; it isn't just being a version of yourself in a way that was free.

Sipowicz was portrayed as an addict, a very flawed human who had many addictions. David Milch is now suffering from Alzheimer's, so we won't get his words again. However, the words that he has to offer are timeless because he studied Robert Penn Warren and had many mentors throughout his vast literary education. That is key. I love speaking Noël Coward's words. As a bon vivant, he wrote musically, to charm us and amuse us. So going and reading Noël Coward is important for actors to learn those cadences and the musicality of a certain era. Of course, Shakespeare comes to mind. I also think of the female playwrights who delight me now, whether it's Caryl Churchill. She has that singular mind and plays with gender so well, challenging gender norms. Seeing ‘Cloud Nine' when I was in college blew my mind open because men were playing women and women were playing men. Of course, Shakespeare was doing it too, but her work felt more intimate; it was in a small theater. That's another thing I encourage actors and audiences to do: go see things in small theaters. See it up close because that will excite you and help you learn the craft.”Sharon Lawrence is an acclaimed actress best known for her Emmy-nominated, SAG Award-winning role as ADA Sylvia Costas on NYPD Blue.

This week we're continuing the journey through the Daniel Craig James Bond era with a review of Quantum of Solace (2008) — the fast-paced, emotionally charged follow-up to Casino Royale. Often seen as one of the more divisive entries in the Bond franchise, We revisit the film with a fresh perspective to break down its action, themes, and connection to the ongoing story of Bond's revenge and grief.To pair with this high-octane Bond chapter, We're tasting two premium bourbon releases: Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson F & Camp Nelson C. We share notes on flavor, contrast the two batches, and talk about what makes these rickhouse-specific Wild Turkey bourbons so special. Whether you're a bourbon lover, a Bond fan, or both, this episode hits hard and drinks smooth.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones, The Other Woman) commands the mission as Sykes, while Oscar-winner Melissa Leo (The Fighter, Frozen River) lends her voice to the omnipresent AI “Sally” and stunt legend Zoë Bell (Kill Bill, Death Proof) turns up as a fierce survivor. Don't miss our breakdown of the film's most memorable moments—from the gravity-defying drone dogfights and the haunting hydro-rig panoramas to the mind-bending final twist that redefines everything Jack thought he knew about his mission and himself.

Drawing from his faith, he offers calming practices, including listening to "Amazing Grace" and reciting the Lord's Prayer, to find solace during restless nights. The episode emphasizes the enduring presence of God in our lives and encourages listeners to lean on their faith to overcome life's challenges.

“Both [Cage] and George C. Scott [in Hardcore] share the same forehead sweat…” - Andrew On this week's very special episode, we're celebrating EPISODE 800 with a very sleaze-tastic conversation on Joel Schumacher's 8MM! How funny is it the screenwriter got upset that the content was toned down from his more hardcore vision? Was Cage's Tom Welles in over his head with this case or was he just the man for the job? How funny is that scene with Gandolfini trying to skip town carrying several boxes of pornography? How great is Joaquin in this performance as Max California? And how terrifying is that final showdown at Casa de Machine? PLUS: “Marc Maron” asks Machine who his guys are! 8MM stars Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, James Gandolfini, Peter Stormare, Anthony Heald, Catherine Keener, Myra Carter, Amy Morton, and Chris Bauer as Machine; directed by Joel Schumacher.

Today on Art of the Cut we're speaking with Oscar-nominee Richard Pearson, ACE, about editing The Accountant 2. Richard's been on Art of the Cut several times in the past for the original The Accountant film, also for Wonder Woman 1984, and Kong: Skull Island. Richard's also worked on Men in Black 2, and the Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. He was nominated for an Oscar and an ACE Eddie and won a BAFTA for United 93. He was also nominated for an ACE Eddie and an Emmy for From the Earth to the Moon.This discussion includes the use of invisible split-screens to craft pacing, developing montages, and the keys to editing a good action scene - of which, this movie has plenty of great examples.If you'd like to see images and clips and trailers from the movie and from the editor, please check out the BorisFX blog:borisfx.com/blog/aotc
EPISODE 195: 2008's Box Office Countdown (10–6) – Iron, Espionage, Penguins, and Robots (ft. Robert Yaniz Jr. & DW Lundberg) Episode Description: The countdown continues! Jason is joined by returning guests Robert Yaniz Jr. and DW Lundberg to tackle the back half of 2008's top-grossing movies—where talking animals, malfunctioning robots, and emotionally exhausted spies battled it out for box office supremacy. This batch has it all: MCU beginnings, Pixar magic, Bond reboot blues, and a certain talking lion who just can't catch a break. Films Discussed: Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (6) – The animals are back and... still trying to get home. Quantum of Solace (7) – Bond is brooding, brutal, and possibly bored. Iron Man (8) – The movie that launched a universe (and Robert Downey Jr. into legend). WALL·E (9) – A near-silent ode to love, loneliness, and environmental collapse. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (10) – Slightly darker, slightly edgier, but did anyone notice? IN THIS EPISODE: Was Quantum of Solace an artistic casualty of the 2008 writers' strike? How Iron Man became a bigger gamble than anyone remembers. Why WALL·E might be Pixar's boldest and most bittersweet gamble. Robert, DW, and Jason try to answer the eternal question: "Who actually watched Prince Caspian?" From Armored Avengers to existential robots, the back half of 2008's top 10 is more influential than you might think.

Former Hollywood actress and producer Nicole Abisinio shares her radical conversion to Christ—and why she left the entertainment industry to fight for souls through film. Nicole reveals the dark spiritual forces behind mainstream media, the devastating link between pornography and human trafficking, and how her hit series The Advocate blends mysticism, faith, and real-world rescue. She and John-Henry expose how impurity and demonic influence flood today's content—and why Catholic families can no longer afford to look the other way. Nicole also introduces Solace, her brand-new streaming platform built for families hungry for beauty, truth, and uncompromising Catholic media. This is more than testimony—it's a call to arms for Christians to reclaim the arts.U.S. residents!
