Will & Jared discuss a recent A24 film that follows an engaged couple, played by Robert Pattinson and Zendaya, that drunkenly share their darkest secrets with each other. It's a secret so shocking even we don't want to spoil it... right away at least, in Kristoffer Borgli's The Drama. How much influence do we think producer Ari Aster had on this movie? What terrible act from the writer/director's own past was dug up while this movie was in theaters? Does Jared make an about-face on the movie on air? How many times does Will accidentally hit himself in the ear during the episode? Listen to find out! The Drama is available on VOD now.

I am a big believer in the power of "side quests" . Over the years, my own side projects have transformed into vital parts of my business and completely changed my career trajectory . In this episode, I am joined by Mélanie Johnsson, a creative director, illustrator, and designer who is equally obsessed with the magic of the side quest. We dive into how these personal projects have brought her new clients, created a vibrant community, and allowed her to push her creative boundaries without the constraints of client briefs. Whether you are considering launching a magazine, a community challenge, or an exhibition, Mélanie's proactive attitude will empower you to stop waiting for opportunities and start creating them yourself . Thanks to Ivy Malik for sponsoring this episode. If you wanna learn how to co-create a sale so it doesn't feel like selling head to lizmosley.net/ivy and watch the free training video. Key Takeaways Proactive Career Growth: Side quests allow you to create the exact type of work you want to be hired for, effectively controlling your own professional narrative and journey. Creative Freedom and Values: Personal projects provide a space to align purely with your own vision and values, which is essential for preventing creative stagnation. Building Community and Authority: Projects like the "Pattern Challenge" or the "Mimi" platform establish you as an expert and build lasting associations in the minds of potential clients. The "Art Director" Mindset: Transitioning to broader titles like Art Director or Creative Director allows you to sell your "brain" and problem-solving skills rather than just a specific technical output. Overcoming Loneliness: Creative communities and in-person meetups serve as a vital antidote to the isolation of freelance life, offering validation and shared support. Episode Highlights 01:50: Mélanie's background growing up in a creative family and her initial "rebellion" against design . 13:10: The creation of Spellbound magazine and the joy of self-publishing. 14:15: How the "Pattern Challenge" transitioned from an Instagram prompt to a charitable physical product. 20:45: Proving creativity: How a client relationship led to 3D rendering and product design. 26:15: The logistical challenges and dreams of building a physical creative studio. 36:10: Rebranding and the power of solving visual problems through a "Creative Director" lens. About the Guest Mélanie Johnsson is a French Art Director, Designer, and Illustrator based in the UK . She works with brands across various industries, from skincare to editorial, and is the founder of the Mimi platform for creatives.

Note: Of course, our episode about chaos had some chaos in the edit: audio issues, export problems, and some other moments of pandemonium. But the chaos has been tamed, the audio restored, and this episode is being uploaded again. Apologies for the disruption, but we are now all set. Thanks, babes! ----- Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. This podcast episode is both real and fake. You're welcome. This week, Alicia and Terra are cracking open the occult's most chaotic, most postmodern, most "actually kind of makes sense when you think about it" tradition: Chaos Magic. From Austin Osman Spare, a man who was literally named Spare, to Peter J. Carroll writing manifestos in a London occult zine, to the internet turning sigils into memes and memes into sigils... the chaos was always the point. We're talking belief as a tool, gnosis as a practice, Supernatural (yes, that one), the difference between Chaos Magic and eclectic witchcraft, and why a chaos magician might pray to an ancient god on Monday and a fictional character on Wednesday and feel completely fine about it. Oh, and Alicia is going to use it to get a new car. We'll keep you posted. Hosted by Alicia Herder and Terra Keck. Produced by Marcel Pérez. Creative Directing by Mallory Jordan.

Ninguém duvida que Alfred Hitchcock é um dos maiores cineastas de todos os tempos. Fundamental também para a história do horror, o chamado “Mestre do Suspense” já ganhou um RdMCast especial para chamar de seu, o de número #243, lançado ainda no começo de 2020. Nele, comentamos os maiores clássicos do diretor, de Festim Diabólico (1948) a Os Pássaros (1963). No entanto, percebemos que, mesmo em quase 2h de duração, cometemos grandes injustiças, deixando de fora a carreira inicial do diretor na Inglaterra e alguns dos grandes filmes que dirigiu nos Estados Unidos ao longo dos anos 1940. Portanto, para nos redimir, resolvemos dedicar mais de duas horas para falar sobre os filmes em preto e branco de Alfred Hitchcock. De um suspense mudo que emula Jack o Estripador, passando pelo primeiro filme britânico falado e chegando aos anos 1930, onde a tensão do período eclode em desconfiança e elaboradas tramas de espionagem, vamos até discussões durante e após a Segunda Guerra Mundial nos anos 1940, com uma rede de nazistas infiltrados no Rio de Janeiro. Dê play neste RdMCast especial com doses esperadas de assassinatos, acusações falsas e mulheres loiras, e receba uma dose inesperada de safadeza e talaricagem, transmitidas pelo peculiar humor britânico que era característico de Hitchcock. Mas preste atenção, o futuro da humanidade pode depender de que você consiga decorar esta mensagem escrita em código.O RdMCast é produzido e apresentado por: Thiago Natário, Gabriel Braga e Gabi Larocca.Apoie o RdM e receba recompensas exclusivas: https://apoia.se/rdmCITADOS NO PROGRAMA:O Inquilino/The Lodger (1927) – PlexChantagem e Confissão/Blackmail (1929) – PlexAssassinato/Murder!

You thought you knew the game. You thought you were the one pulling the strings. But somewhere between the punchline and the plot twist, the rug got pulled, and you're not sure if you're laughing or cursed. This week on Witch, Yes!, Alicia and Terra are diving into the Trickster. The shapeshifter. The chaos agent. The one who breaks the rules so hard the universe has to rewrite them. From Coyote and Loki to Anansi and Hermes, we're unpacking why every culture across time has needed a figure who lies, cheats, steals, and somehow still ends up being the hero of the story. Are Tricksters forces of evil, or are they the only ones telling the truth? And more importantly... have you been the Trickster this whole time? Light a candle. Mind the fine print. And don't make any deals you can't afford to lose.

Friday the 13th is BACK. And not just once this year, baby witches, but THREE TIMES. Yes, 2026 is absolutely unhinged and we should all be afraid. This week, Alicia and Terra are cracking open the folklore, the fear, and the full chaotic history of the most infamous date on the Gregorian Calendar. We're talking Norse mythology and the death of Baldr (yes, Loki is involved, obviously). We're talking the Last Supper, triskaidekaphobia, and why the number 13 has been considered cursed since at least the 1400s. We're talking real Friday the 13th disasters, including the 1972 Andes plane crash and the 2012 Costa Concordia shipwreck, because apparently this date has notes. And then we zoom out: Tuesday the 13th, the Ides of March, Italy's fear of the number 17, and the 1980 slasher film that turned a spooky superstition into a full cultural institution. Is Friday the 13th genuinely cursed? A Christian holdover? A Norse myth remix? A media invention? It's all of the above, and we couldn't be more delighted. Three Fridays the 13th in one year.

Will & Jared have a serious conversation about what to do when your plan to frame your sex robot for murder goes awry. Oh and they also discuss the surprise sleeper hit from early last year, Drew Hancock's Companion. Does this debut film put Black Mirror to shame?

Simon Gardner's life has collapsed into two obsessions: Patty, the woman who left him. And Jack, the musician he's spent a decade researching. That research went into Simon's book, Spellbound, about the life, times, and legend of Wailin' Jack Laurent, the shock-rock pioneer whose song “You're Under My Spell” made him infamous—and whose rumored voodoo past refuses to stay buried. After acquiring the original recording of that song—an acetate disc seven decades old and on the edge of falling apart—Simon hopes Laurent's magic is real.Can that old, dark song really weave a spell? Can it bind Simon and Patty together once more?

Season 8 - Burn Book Entry January 2026 Name: Agnes Sign: Virgo Craft: Folk magic, curse-adjacent Notes: Stole my familiar. Claims she “doesn't hex anymore", but that's a lie. Bad vibes. Would not circle cast with again. — This week on Witch, Yes!, we are slowly, intentionally, and with full eye contact, cracking open the collective burn book of history to discuss witchy beefs. The rivalries. The feuds. The cheek, the nerve, the audacity, the gall, and the gumption! From pamphlet wars and public accusations to coven fallouts and spiritual power struggles, we're serving a deep dive into the drama and asking the real question: when magic meets mess, who's getting the bad edit? Consider this episode a loving reminder that enlightenment doesn't stop you from throwing shade, and history? Oh, history always remembers the read. Light a candle. Ward your circle. And remember: some names end up in the Book of Shadows… others end up in the burn book.
(Episode 370) It's a Moondog Productions Highlight Show with audio clips from our TV shows, The Blueberry Chicks and County Road 689. The Blueberry Chicks visit the M-43 Mercantile and The Gobles Antique Mall. County Road 689 has songs from The Wild Woody's, Black River Band and Bandits On The Run. On Racin' Mason Dixon's Front Porch Stomp, we meet comedian Wes Allen who will be performing at next week's County Road 689 Comedy Hoedown. It's all here, right now on The Moondog Show.

Will & Jared are back at it again with another wild and weird movie that has everyone buzzing like bees. Director Yorgos Lanthimos takes us on a deranged journey where Jesse Plemons kidnaps Emma Stone, believing her to be an alien bent on destroying humanity in Bugonia!Is this "reimagining" of the 2003 South Korean cult favorite Save The Green Planet an improvement on the original? Or is it more deranged and depressing due to its misanthropic director? How does a certain raunchy comedian and guilty pleasure of Jared's perform in the film? Do the hosts give perhaps their best pitch on a boutique physical release for this film? What advice does Jared have for everyone in 2026? Listen to find out!Bugonia is available to stream on Peacock, as well as VOD and Blu-ray.Intro by AJ Stillabower (ajstillabower.com).Our outro track is "Gymnopedie No. 1" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 LicenseYou can listen to Reno Championship Wrestling & Spellbound and Gagged anywhere you get podcasts.Email the show at debaserpod@gmail.comFollow Debaser on Instagram, Bluesky, and Facebook.Follow Will on Instagram and Jared on Bluesky.Cover art by @DogBitesBackNY
Take our listener survey by clicking hereCharisma in leaders is a mysterious phenomenon. Maybe even baffling, if you're the one left cold by a leader others see as charismatic. How has this mysterious word charisma, coined by the Apostle Paul but now applied widely, shaped us? How can this concept help us to understand our world?Our guide in understanding it is the University of North Carolina historian Molly Worthen, who's also one of our Senior Fellows at the Trinity Forum. She's written widely on her unexpected turn to Christian faith. In this conversation, drawing on her book Spellbound, Molly will guide us in understanding the powerful effects of charisma in leadership on religious and political life in America, all the way from the Puritans to the 21st century:"We are not that different from humans four centuries ago. The advance of democracy, the rise of the internet, scientific literacy, all of this has not really severed us from the deep past and from this, this fundamental desire to connect with a transcendent story about the universe."This podcast is an edited version of an Online Conversation recorded in 2025. It'll help people find us if you subscribe to this podcast wherever you listen.And we hope you'll consider becoming a member of our community, the Trinity Forum Society.

BE ADVISED: NUMEROUS INTERNET DROP OUTS WITH GUEST’S CONNECTION! #SpiritualWarfare [Original airdate: 2/7/25] In today’s installment of Stand Up, Mary welcomes Marcia Montenegro to discuss her revised classic, “Spellbound: The Paranormal Seduction of Today’s Kids”. In her book, she gives a wealth of information on each aspect of sorcery and the paranormal, and how parents can discern if their children are dabbling in it. With so many aspects of it, and so much media, it’s impossible to believe that most kids and teens aren’t dabbling in it. We discuss astrology, oujia boards, psychics, spells, and much more. Before becoming a Christian, Marcia was involved for many years in Eastern spiritual beliefs (Hindu and Buddhist), New Age, and Occult practices. She was also a certified, professional astrologer who taught astrology for several years and served as chairperson of the Astrology Board of Examiners (ABE) and President of the Astrological Society in Atlanta, GA. Through her full-time ministry, Christian Answers for the New Age (CANA), Marcia speaks around the country at churches and conferences and on numerous radio broadcasts, internet webcasts, and podcasts. She has articles published in various magazines and written chapters included in books on the New Age and Occult topics.

Have you felt like 2025 was one massive ego death where everything you thought you were supposed to be doing got stripped away and you're left wondering what the hell just happened? In this final episode of the three-part series, I share my brutally honest year-in-review of 2025, the Year of the Snake. I walk through shutting off my Facebook ads in March (my main revenue source), retiring Spellbound after three years, the mistake of taking on two funnel projects in September that wrecked havoc because I'm not wired to build other peoples' businesses, my Costa Rica revelation about reciprocal community, and why stepping into 2026 means finally letting go of the "marketing expert" identity to own being the strategist and oracle who sees patterns, provides insights, and helps people find alignment before they build anything else.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:The February 28th shift when Kathryn left a 25-year Cancer cycle and stepped into Leo via Zodiacal Releasing (an ancient astrology timing technique), entering a peak period around vocation and career at the exact moment she woke up energized to start cutting expenses, shutting off ads, and making radical decisions her ego was terrified of, and why this timing perfectly aligned with the Year of the Snake's mandate to shed what no longer serves.Why Kathryn made less revenue in 2025 but earned more profit by cutting her $4-5K/month Facebook ad spend, retiring the scalable group program model, and realizing she'd structured her online business exactly like the brick-and-mortar she sold to escape (high overhead requiring $10K+ monthly sales just to break even), and how her Moon in Aries in the 6th house (ruled by Mars in the 2nd house of money) created massive turmoil navigating financial safety while her soul craved simplicity.The September mistake of saying yes to two full funnel buildout projects despite knowing she's not wired for implementation or behind-the-scenes deliverable work, experiencing ghosting clients and lack of recognition (triggering her Leo in the 10th house need for feedback and reward), and the brutal clarity that her real value is as a strategist and oracle providing insights, breakthrough thinking, and pattern recognition (Mercury in Gate 43), not building other people's systems while her own business sits in the background.Why the identity shift from "marketing expert and conversion copywriter" to alignment-focused strategist felt like an ego death, how her wide open G center in Human Design means she's not wired to wrap her identity around what she does for work or be known for one thing, and what stepping into 2026 looks like with multiple income streams (Selling the Invisible AI system, 1-1 mentorship layering astrology and strategy, business evolution sessions) all serving the deeper work of helping entrepreneurs find alignment first, then expression, then systems, then revenue instead of the surface-level "attract more clients and make more money" hamster wheel that's completely out of alignment for her Scorpio rising depth.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

As the year dies and the longest night creeps in (yes, we are past the solstice, but it took a bit to edit this one), we're turning our attention to one of folklore's most enduring, misunderstood, and deeply unbothered figures: the Hag. In this episode, we wade into swamps, crossroads, and liminal spaces to explore hags across myth, fairy tales, and witchcraft traditions. From crones and night hags to divine old women and winter spirits, we unpack how hags became symbols of fear, power, age, autonomy, and survival, and why they tend to show up when the light is fading. Are hags villains? Guardians? Witches who opted out of being palatable? Or something much older than all of that? Light a candle, lock your doors, and enjoy the solstice. The hags are watching.

What happens when the power of the Holy Spirit collides with the chaos of American politics? Join Joshua Lewis as he sits down with historian Molly Worthen to explore her book Spellbound, which traces the fascinating and often controversial story of charisma—both spiritual and political—from Puritan prophets to modern-day leaders like Donald Trump.We explore the tension between institutional authority and personal revelation that has defined American Christianity and culture for centuries. Discover how figures like Anne Hutchinson challenged Puritan ministers by claiming direct assurance from the Holy Spirit, how George Whitefield revolutionized preaching with theatrical emotion, and how Joseph Smith blended enlightenment rationalism with spiritual experience to birth Mormonism.Professor Worthen, a historian at UNC Chapel Hill, reveals how charismatic leaders aren't always the charming orators we imagine—instead, they're polarizing storytellers who invite followers into transcendent narratives that give suffering and struggle cosmic significance. We explore the dangerous line between prophetic truth and spiritual manipulation, examining everyone from radical Quaker Benjamin Lay to Martin Luther King Jr., and asking the crucial question: how do we test the spirits in an age of radical individualism?Whether you're fascinated by church history, concerned about discernment in charismatic movements, or trying to understand the spiritual undercurrents shaping our political moment, this episode offers essential insights into how divine power—or the claim to it—has shaped the American experiment.0:00 – Introduction0:46 – Molly's background and ministry4:49 – Defining charisma20:11 – Anne Hutchinson & Puritan Massachusetts30:00 – Donna Beatrice & the Congo rebellion36:25 – George Fox & the Quaker movement44:01 – George Whitefield & emotional preaching50:28 – Charisma & American individualism54:05 – Joseph Smith & the Mormon church1:00:14 – Closing thoughts on charisma & discernmentABOUT THE GUEST:

The table is long. The candles flicker. The air hums with anticipation, because tonight, we eat like gods. This week on Witch, Yes!, Alicia and Terra pull up their chairs to explore the ancient, primal magic of the feast. From Dionysian bacchanals that blurred the line between divine and mortal, to sacred sabbats where every dish was an offering, to the modern potluck that somehow still holds ritual power: we're serving up the history, symbolism, and sorcery of communal eating. Why do we break bread together? What makes a meal sacred versus just... dinner? And how did feasts become battlegrounds for status, politics, and straight-up witchcraft? (Spoiler: someone's always poisoning the wine.) Whether you're hosting a coven dinner or just trying to survive Thanksgiving, we're uncovering how food, magic, and community have been stirring the same cauldron for millennia. Set the table. Light the candles. Say the blessing, or the curse. The feast begins now.
