In this episode of Second Act Actors, I had the pleasure of speaking with Todd Stark, a talented voiceover actor who transitioned from a successful corporate career to the world of acting during the pandemic. Todd shared his fascinating journey from working in global supply chain, marketing, IT, and strategy across various industries to rediscovering his passion for acting, a love he had since high school.Todd discussed the pivotal moment during the pandemic when he decided to leave his corporate job and pursue acting full-time. He took a strategic approach, using his business acumen to analyze his own career aspirations and ultimately decided to follow his passion for acting. Todd's story is a testament to the power of self-reflection and the courage to make significant life changes.We delved into the challenges and rewards of voice acting, highlighting the importance of imagination and the ability to bring scripts to life without the physical presence of other actors. Todd emphasized the need for continuous learning and adapting, sharing his experiences from various acting workshops and the importance of reacting authentically in scenes.Additionally, Todd spoke about his involvement with "Voiceover for the Planet," a group dedicated to providing voiceover services for companies with a mission-based focus.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Chris Belyew from Stark, FL. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. You're helping build a legacy of truth that reaches the next generation. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 10:13-16: And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them. — Mark 10:13-16 Jesus just finished teaching about marriage and the seriousness of covenant—and now, in a powerful contrast, we see children being brought to him. But the disciples see it as a distraction. A nuisance. Not worth the time of the Messiah. They rebuke the parents, shoo the kids away, and try to protect Jesus from this "waste of time". But Jesus' response is surprising—it's indignant with them. He says, "Stop shooing them away. Let the kids come. The kingdom belongs to those as willing and vulnerable as these." In a culture that often overlooked or undervalued children, Jesus says they're the model citizens of the kingdom. Not because of their performance or power. But because of their posture. Their dependence. Their willingness. Their all in faith. Jesus is calling children and correcting the disciples. He's reminding them (and us) that greatness in the kingdom is not about status. It's about surrender. Are you still "childlike" in your approach with Jesus, dependent, trusting, eager? Or have you "outgrown" this and become too busy, important, reserved, and protective? We are all prone to outgrow the blessings of our childlike faith and develop a spiritual pretentiousness. We only do this because we wrongly believe that our intellect, education, doctrine, good works, experience, or notoriety is earned by effort or maturity. But Jesus teaches something different. It's not only about rejecting childishness. It's about embracing certain aspects of childlikeness. So, where do you need to reject childishness? And then, where do you need to embrace childlikeness again in your relationship with Jesus? #ChildlikeFaith, #LetThemCome, #Project23 ASK THIS: When was the last time you approached God with childlike trust? What distractions keep you from depending fully on Jesus? How do we sometimes hinder others from coming to Jesus? What would it look like to welcome and bless the "little ones" in your life? DO THIS: Pause today. Slow down. Say this simple prayer: "Jesus, I come to you with nothing but need. Hold me, bless me, lead me." PRAY THIS: Jesus, thank you for seeing me, not for what I can do, but for who I am. Teach me to trust you like a child again. PLAY THIS: "Run to the Father" by Cody Carnes.

From the dawn of time, man has been fascinated by the stars and what — or more importantly, who — is out there. Unsurprisingly, from the dawn of filmmaking, Hollywood has been also been fascinated by visiting (and visitors from) other worlds. One of the earliest silent films, A Trip to the Moon, was about shooting astronauts to the moon (using a cannon) and the alien creatures they find. There are countless movies about aliens and here are four I think you should watch.Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)Roy Neary's life is turned upside-down after having a close encounter with a UFO. After being tormented by visions and a need to know more, Roy meets others experiencing the same thing and travels to Devil's Tower in Wyoming where Roy, the government, and the aliens all arrive for a monumental concert. Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Richard Dreyfuss, Teri Garr, and Melinda Dillion, Close Encounters of the Third Kind is one of the greatest films about alien encounters ever made. A must watch, no matter what planet you're from.Starcrash (1978)Hot on the heels of 1977's Star Wars came a wave of films “influenced” by George Lucas's masterpiece. In Starcrash, a smuggler and her alien sidekick go on a mission to rescue a prince from an evil character with a gigantic space weapon that can destroy planets. Sound familiar? Did I mention the alien sidekick uses a lightsaber? Perhaps “influenced” is too light of a word. Starcrash is not the best space opera of all time, but it's an interesting time capsule from 1978; one of many movies that also took place in a galaxy far, far away. Starcrash features great sets, a goofy plot… and David Hasselhoff. The Last Starfighter (1984)Alex Rogan wants nothing more than to escape his small town and that opportunity presents itself after he beats the world record on an arcade game called The Last Starfighter. The arcade game is actually a recruiting tool, and before long a shifty alien named Centauri arrives to take Alex to space where he will become a Starfighter — for real! Featuring (then) groundbreaking CGI, lots of alien action, and the final theatrical performance of Robert Preston.Naked Space/Spaceship/The Creature Wasn't Nice (1981)No matter what name you see this movie under, they're all the same… and none of them are good! This “horror/comedy” that loosely parodies Alien stars Leslie Nielson, Cindy Williams, Gerrit Graham, Patrick Macnee, and (writer/director) Bruce Kimmel. After exploring a newly discovered planet, the crew of the Spaceship Vertigo bring a small organism (goo) on board that quickly grows into a large monster. When Dr. Stark figures out a way to connect the monster's brain to the ship's computer, they are able for the first time to hear the monster's thoughts. And boy, is that monster hungry…Movies about aliens and outer space are always fun summer viewing. Rent one of these films and pop an extra bucket of popcorn, just in case someone from “out there” stops by to join you.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

What happens when eating disorder care is offered by clinicians with no specialized training? In this vital conversation, Dr. Marianne sits down with Edie Stark, LCSW (@ediestarktherapy), founder of Stark Therapy Group, to unpack the real—and often hidden—dangers of receiving eating disorder treatment from generalist therapists or corporate telehealth platforms like BetterHelp. They explore why working with an eating disorder specialist matters, how disordered eating can be overlooked or misdiagnosed in non-specialized care, and the serious risks of inaccurate, unethical, or even harmful treatment. Edie also breaks down how to find high-quality, fat-positive, neurodivergent-affirming eating disorder care, even when access feels limited. Whether you're searching for your own recovery support or you're a clinician trying to do better, this episode is a must-listen. WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE The rise of venture-capitalist “therapy tech” companies and how they commodify mental health Ethical concerns and client horror stories from non-specialized care platforms Why generalist therapists are often unequipped to treat eating disorders safely What makes someone a true eating disorder specialist Why weight-loss goals should never be a treatment focus for ED clinicians Red flags to look for on therapist websites How to ask the right questions when looking for an eating disorder therapist The importance of training, supervision, and collaborative care teams The unique risks of misdiagnosis for fat, neurodivergent, BIPOC, and male clients Where and how to find safe, inclusive, evidence-based care

Ironheart is here—and she's flying straight out of Chicago. In this premiere episode of Marvel's latest series, we meet Riri Williams, a genius with big dreams, no money, and more heart than the system knows what to do with. I break down her Stark-sized ambition, the gut-punch of expulsion, the debut of The Hood, and the mysterious final twist that left me itching for Episode 2. We're just getting started!

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy and U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng interview John Burt, the Paul Prosswimmer Professor of American Literature at Brandeis University. Prof. Burt offers rich insight into the life and work of one of the 20th century's greatest American writers, Robert Penn Warren. Raised in rural southwestern Kentucky, Warren was deeply shaped by the legacy of the Civil War, which he explored in his influential 1961 work, The Legacy of the Civil War, and throughout his poetry and fiction. Prof. Burt shares that as a young man at Vanderbilt, Warren was influenced by the “Fugitives” literary group and contributed to I'll Take My Stand: The South and the Agrarian Tradition, a decision he later deeply regretted. His Pulitzer-winning novel All the King's Men follows the rise and fall of populist governor Willie Stark, modeled in part on Huey Long and Julius Caesar, through the eyes of journalist Jack Burden, whose personal and philosophical journey mirrors Stark's. Prof. Burt shares that the novel wrestles with the limits of knowledge and the weight of moral responsibility, culminating in a powerful meditation on time, history, and the human condition.

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas break down the first three episodes of Marvel's Ironheart, now streaming on Disney+. They discuss Riri Williams' return from Wakanda Forever, her emotional and tech-filled journey through Chicago, and her confrontation with Parker Robbins, aka The Hood. The episode dives deep into the show's themes of grief, legacy, and identity, while teasing Mephisto's looming presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With strong performances by Dominique Thorne and Anthony Ramos, the show has potential—despite a rocky rollout and inconsistent writing. This mid-season review also includes predictions, comic book context, and thoughts on how Ironheart fits into Marvel's Phase 5 and beyond. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00:00 Introduction and first impressions 00:00:59 Riri's transition from Wakanda Forever to Ironheart 00:02:37 Chicago setting and the show's authenticity 00:03:36 Emotional honesty in superhero storytelling 00:04:48 Weak writing and underdeveloped supporting characters 00:06:22 Gen Z tone and target audience 00:06:48 Standout performance: Anthony Ramos as The Hood 00:07:32 Natalie's arc and AI consciousness 00:08:21 Episode 2: flashbacks, trauma, and Stark legacy 00:10:12 Stark comparisons and Wakandan tech 00:12:30 Confusion around Zeke and character awkwardness 00:13:44 Episode 3: action, tension, and Mephisto's influence 00:14:53 The contracts, demonic pacts, and tattoo symbolism 00:18:08 Breaking down the greenhouse heist 00:20:28 CGI highs and lows in action scenes 00:21:55 Mephisto's growing control over Parker 00:23:06 Predictions for Mephisto, Doctor Doom, and future MCU tie-ins 00:25:01 Comic history of Mephisto, Ghost Rider, and potential Phase 7 arcs 00:26:46 Mid-season rating and final thoughts 00:29:10 Armor Wars, Disney's past mistakes, and the show's chopped-up structure 00:30:36 What's working and what we hope to see next Key Takeaways: Ironheart starts slow but picks up steam by episode 3, with tighter dialogue and higher stakes. Dominique Thorne (Riri) and Anthony Ramos (Parker/The Hood) deliver strong, grounded performances. The show leans heavily on Wakanda Forever as backstory—watching it first is essential. Parker's contracts and tattoos hint at Mephisto's presence, possibly laying groundwork for Midnight Sons or Doctor Doom. Chicago is a refreshing setting, adding a fresh visual layer rarely seen in Marvel properties. Disney's batch-release of episodes may reflect leftover strategy from the Chapek-era content slate. Natalie's role as an AI based on Riri's memories is an emotional standout. The Hood may become a recurring villain across MCU titles like Daredevil: Born Again. Memorable Quotes: “You don't hear heroes say that very often—but sometimes, you're not okay.” “Ramos never misses. He's the most compelling thing on screen right now.” “These characters feel like NPCs. The only ones that feel real are Riri and The Hood.” “This should've been a movie. You can feel how it was chopped up.” “That's not ink—it's a contract spreading across his skin.” Call to Action: Enjoying the episode?
