EPISODE 124 -  “EARL CARROLL VANITIES: SCANDAL, SPECTACLE AND THE JAZZ AGE” - 1/27/2026  When we think about the great showmen of early Hollywood, we often think of FLO ZIEGFELD, SID GRAUMAN or maybe BUSBY BERKELEY, but another man who certainly fits well into this fraternity of daring, flamboyant, and imaginative purveyors of entertainment was EARL CARROLL. Carroll was a producer, songwriter, and impresario whose career helped define the glamour and excess of Hollywood's Golden Age. Rising to prominence in the 1920s with his bold Broadway revues, Carroll brought to Hollywood a uniquely theatrical blend of elaborate staging, haute couture costuming, and the provocative extravagance that became his trademark. His famed Earl Carroll Theatre on Sunset Boulevard—adorned with a giant neon likeness of showgirl BERYL WALLACE —quickly became a Los Angeles landmark, drawing celebrities, industry moguls, and curious audiences eager for a sexy, entertaining show. Inside, his productions showcased meticulously choreographed ensembles, ornate sets, and the legendary showgirls, who were called “the most beautiful girls in the world.” Beyond the stage, Carroll influenced the broader culture of old Hollywood nightlife: his clubs were gathering places for stars, tastemakers, and dreamers, helping establish the city's reputation for glittering evenings, lavish entertainment, and unabashed showmanship. Though his life ended tragically, Carroll's imprint on Hollywood and his reputation for over-the-top glamour remains a defining element of its early history. This week, we look at this flamboyant life and career.

The snow was dumping outside, the cats were plotting chaos, and we finally hit play on the COUNTDOWN CONCERT 2025–2026 STARTO to MOVE New Year stream. What follows is a full-bodied tour through Tokyo Dome's spectacle: lasers slicing the dark, archival clips setting the stakes, and a camera that makes even nosebleeds feel electric. We walk you through the performances that stuck to our ribs—Travis Japan's Broadway polish, Naniwa Danshi's sweet glow, and Kenty's whiplash switch from adorable to dangerously smooth.We spend time where the story lives: in the details. Costumes aren't glitter for glitter's sake; sequins catch beams, pearls soften edges, and a splash of maroon or aqua makes a face pop from a distance. King & Prince prove how a duo can thrive by leaning into space and chemistry without overfilling the stage. Senpai anchors (ABC-Z, Kis-My-Ft2, NEWS) remind us how technique and stamina read across decades, while Snow Man turn camera time into a masterclass in micro-charisma. Then comes the member shuffle—a living archive where classics get new timbres, new harmonies, and new swagger—culminating in Koichi Domoto's rendering of a timeless classic, a tradition that ties generations together.When SixTONES finally explode onto the scene, the energy tilts from elegant to feral in seconds—fur, fire, streetwear, and pure adrenaline. WEST checks in by screen, the mini bike “horse race” delivers pure fan service, and the midnight countdown lands with cross-group song swaps that feel like love letters: Cinderella Girl with Naniwa's sheen, Snow Man and SixTONES trading signatures, NEWS and Timeless draped in sakura tones. Along the way, we discuss the idea that song covers are a celebration rather than replacement, and savor the unplanned moments—a wink, a tear, a laugh—that keep live pop human.If you're a STARTO fan, a J-pop casual, or just love great stagecraft, queue the countdown on Netflix, then press play on our breakdown. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a stage-side seat, and drop your pick for performance of the night—we want to hear who owned the Dome.Support the showPlease help Music Elixir by rating, reviewing, and sharing the episode.

Frances McCarthy, Education and outreach officer at MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork, discusses last night's view of the Northern lights in parts of Ireland.

In an era of college football where bowl games don't matter anymore, it seems CPG brand marketers didn't get that memo! Imagine a world where fans are showing up (or watching at home) not just for the sport but the title sponsor's brand experience! In what has become a marketing platform for some of the wackiest shareable moments in recent memory…a select group has mastered how to turn passive viewers of college football postseason into active participants in their brand stories. But as another college football postseason ends, I wanted to quickly provide a tier ranking of every bowl game that had a CPG brand as the title sponsor, which includes the Bucked Up LA Bowl, Bush's Boca Raton Bowl of Beans, Pop-Tarts Bowl, Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl, Kinder's Texas Bowl, Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, and Duke's Mayo Bowl. And my tier ranking will be based solely around how effective these sponsors were at creating brand-driven spectacles. Lastly, and this has little to do about dissecting the marketing strategies of CPG brands…but why not play these “bowl games” in the first week of the season. I'm not sure the college football teams participating would actively embrace the current-level of brand-driven spectacles…but it would certainly bring immense meaning back to those games. But in the end, maybe attention doesn't materially change either way in today's online sports betting and prediction markets era.

CR18 X2M.240 — Qōm קוֹם (The Standing Pattern · Authority Acts Without Announcement) Authority does not culminate in survival. It culminates in motion that no longer needs permission. Qōm names the moment when endurance becomes action. In its biblical usage, קוֹם does not describe ascent under pressure, but standing into action. It is the verb of arising to speak, arising to judge, arising to move history forward. The strain remains, but the posture changes. What endured now advances.¹ If Yāqûm is authority that refuses collapse, Qōm is authority that no longer waits. CR18 assigns X2M.240 to the phase where coherence stops merely absorbing disturbance and begins shaping the field again. The apparatus is still unreliable. Opposition has not vanished. But the sovereign no longer defines himself in relation to resistance. He stands and acts because standing has become stable. Scripture consistently frames Qōm as the transition from hidden fidelity to visible execution. “Arise, O Lord,” is not a request for proof. It is a declaration that the time for proof has passed.² In narrative terms, this is the shift from Micaiah in prison to Elijah calling fire, from Joseph enduring confinement to Joseph administering famine, from David hunted to David governing. The authority that endured silence now speaks, and the speaking rearranges reality. Qōm does not seek consensus. It does not explain itself. It does not ask whether the field is ready. It stands and by standing, compels alignment. This is not escalation. It is inevitability. The compression here reverses direction: what was previously internalized now externalizes, what was borne now issues, what was tested now governs.³ Here coherence no longer merely survives noise. It imposes structure upon it. In CR18 terms, Qōm marks the first lawful re-extension of authority after total withdrawal. This is not apparatus restoration. Titles are still suspect. Spectacle is still forbidden. But authority is now operative rather than merely recognizable. The Canon treats this as a dangerous moment not because authority might fail, but because it might overreach. Qōm therefore carries restraint. Standing does not mean seizing. Action does not mean domination. Authority moves, but only as coherence permits. This is why Qōm follows Yāqûm and not before it. Only what has refused collapse is permitted to advance. In system terms, this is where coherence recovery becomes coherence projection. The system does not merely return to equilibrium after disturbance; it shapes the trajectory of the field itself.⁴ Noise still exists. Opposition still mutters. But the axis has shifted. Qōm is not glory. It is lawful motion. It is the first step taken without apology. The first word spoken without defense. The first action that assumes continuity rather than risk. This is standing that moves history. And once it occurs, retreat is no longer an option. Glorification | The Final Frontier Going boldly where the last man has gone before!

Aujourd'hui, Laura Warton Martinez, sophrologue, Yves Camdeborde, chef cuisinier, et Mourad Boudjellal, éditeur de bande dessinée, débattent de l'actualité autour d'Alain Marschall et Olivier Truchot.

This month on The Film Board, Pete Wright sits down with Tommy Metz III and Steve Sarmento to wrestle with a question that keeps resurfacing throughout Avatar: Fire and Ash: how can a movie built with such extraordinary care feel so strangely forgettable?James Cameron's return to Pandora is, once again, a monumental technical achievement. The scale is enormous. The craft is meticulous. The effort behind it is undeniable. And yet, as the conversation unfolds, the panel keeps circling the same uneasy feeling—that the film never quite gives its spectacle anything meaningful to serve.The discussion ranges from Cameron's latest performance-capture and adaptive frame-rate experiments to the franchise's growing habit of mistaking motion for momentum. There's real admiration for the artists who built this world, paired with frustration over a story that repeatedly rushes past its most interesting ideas. Themes of environmentalism, colonialism, faith, and family surface again and again, only to be flattened by familiar beats, unresolved questions, and a narrative that seems unwilling to slow down long enough to let any of them land.By the time the conversation reaches ratings, the outcome feels less like judgment and more like inevitability—the natural endpoint of trying, and failing, to locate the film's emotional center.

In this episode, Ian Von sits down with legendary producer and songwriter Bryan-Michael Cox for a masterclass in musicianship and hustle. From Houston roots to crafting hits with Usher and Jermaine Dupri, he breaks down how he quietly became one of R&B's key architects. B. Cox shares how he moved to Atlanta, cold-called studios, earned a Noontime internship, and leveraged it into full studio access before anyone even heard his beats. They dive into the difference between musicianship and producing, the power of simplicity, the science of songwriting, and the story behind “U Got It Bad.” A blueprint episode for aspiring producers, songwriters, and R&B lovers alike. This is one episode you don't want to miss!

Disaster movies are built to end things. Cities collapse, the planet cracks open, and whatever survives crawls out into the credits. Sequels are supremely rare because escalation usually feels beside the point. But “Greenland 2: Migration” exists because director Ric Roman Waugh never viewed the first film as a one-off thrill ride. For him, it was always the opening chapter of a single emotional story about family, survival, and legacy.The sequel again follows the Garrity family as they must leave the safety of the Greenland bunker and embark on a perilous journey across the decimated, volatile wasteland of Europe in search of a new home. The film stars Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, Roman Griffin Davis, William Abadie, and more.On this episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo is joined by director Ric Roman Waugh to discuss why “Migration” was never conceived as a traditional sequel, how emotion allows spectacle to breathe, reuniting with Gerard Butler for their fourth collaboration, and balancing franchise expectations with the fear of repetition.

Menners is joined by Victorian sportswriter Jono Baruch to dissect the fallout from a deeply flawed Boxing Day Test that ended in just two days. While England's win is acknowledged as legitimate, the focus quickly turns to the pitch, the loss of spectacle, and the wider consequences for Australian cricket. They examine why the MCG surface failed Test cricket, the financial and broadcast impact of short matches, and whether Australia's push for result wickets has gone too far. The discussion then shifts to the Australian team's looming transition, including hard questions around Marnus Labuschagne's form, Usman Khawaja's future, Cameron Green's role, and whether Travis Head has finally locked down the opening position.

"Say, what abridgement have you for this evening?  What masque? what music? How shall we beguile  The lazy time, if not with some delight?"  — A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act V, Scene 1  There are over a dozen mentions of masques, masquers, and masquing in Shakespeare's plays, and when it came to masques in England for the 16-17th century, no one did them better than Ben Jonson, who was known for staging truly spectacular feats of gradeur at the court of James I.   Our guest is Martin Butler, Professor of Renaissance Drama at the University of Leeds, Fellow of the British Academy, and General Editor of the Cambridge Works of Ben Jonson. He has written extensively on early modern drama and Jonson's masques in particular, including how these productions functioned as political texts, cultural events, and artistic achievements.  Martin joins us today to help us explore what a masque was exactly, how masques are different from a play, and why it was that Jonson's masques were so special.

Ceremony: The Emperor as Collective Focal Point and Sacred Kingship — Gaius & Germanicus — In the "freezing darkness of Londinium," Gaius and Germanicus reflect philosophically on the spectacle of the new American"Emperor" (Donald Trump) attending the Army-Navy football game, with Gaius describing the theatrical pageantry of Trump's entrance flanked by enormous military officers and the overwhelming orchestrated cheers from assembled military cadets. Gaius argues that for a transcendent moment, the United States embodied the full confidence, unified purpose, and absolute power characteristic of the Roman Empire at its zenith. Germanicus analyzes this ceremonial moment through historical lens, positing that the Emperor functions as a "collective focal point" for national identity and institutional legitimacy, embodying "sacred kingship" roles that unify the entire nation in ways that republican governance structures fundamentally cannot achieve. Germanicus compares this modern ceremonial spectacle to Roman imperial tradition wherein the Emperor's physical presence at the Coliseum or the Hippodrome served vital ritualistic functions transcending mere entertainment, instead melding the Emperor, the Senate, and the populace into a singular apotheosis of unified national identity and sacred authority. Germanicus suggests that this ceremonial gathering simultaneously demonstrated American military strength while affirming the psychological necessity of embodied leadership and collective ritual in maintaining national cohesion and ideological purpose.

Jeff Bliss reports that the Formula 1 race on the Las Vegas city circuit is attracting major spectacle and high-end tourism, though the city is also attempting recovery by catering to lower-income demographics, evidenced by positive activity at the Excalibur Casino, while facing major competition from a new Indian casino near Bakersfield, California, operated by the Tahone tribe and twice the size of Caesars Palace. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, and four others were indicted on 23 counts of fraud. Additionally, an investigation into the Palisades fire revealed that state workers ordered the LA Fire Department to back off a previously burned area that rekindled, allegedly to protect endangered plants.

Ballooning became a huge fad starting in the late 18th century, and there was a surprising amount of rioting associated with it. Fervor, excitement, and intoxication in some instances, meant that balloon events were prone to get out of control.
