And that might make sense, seeing as there are a lot of dead brides-to-be floating around America.

But what are the purpose of gargoyles? (In The Protection of Gargoyles) *** Were Betty and Barney Hill actually visited and even abducted by aliens in 1961, or was it an outlandish story just to get attention?

Dusty returns to the podcast to talk about the next parable in the series.

06/08/25: Storyteller - The Unforgiving ServantDusty Taylor

In this week's message from our new series Storyteller, we're stepping into one of Jesus' most well-known parables: the Good Samaritan. It's a story that pulls love out of theory and places it right in the middle of real life—messy, inconvenient, and transformational. Join us this Sunday as we explore what it means to love with gospel-shaped eyes, to cross the road when it's easier to walk away, and to become the kind of neighbor Jesus calls us to be.

HT2282 - Photographer, Storyteller, Artist, Observer When I first picked up a camera in high school, I set my sights on becoming a photographer. With the passage of time, I started to realize my role as a storyteller. Eventually, I became comfortable with the term artist. Lately, I've been using the term observer. Perhaps we are all a blending of these characteristics. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!

Tonight I'm bringing you some dark science-fiction… which ended up after the story was published, being less science fiction and more science fact. Almost as if the author was a prophet. "Blowups Happen" is a 1940 science fiction short story by American writer Robert A. Heinlein. The story describes the tensions among the staff of a nuclear reactor. Heinlein's concept of a nuclear reactor was one of a barely contained explosion, not the steady-state thermal plants developed later. As a consequence the work is dangerous, and the slightest mistake could be catastrophic. All the technical staff are monitored by psychologists who have the authority to remove them from the work at any time lest they crack under the pressure and precipitate a disaster. The monitoring itself contributes to the problem.SOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Blowups Happen” by Robert Heinlein, from the book “The Astounding Science Fiction Anthology”: https://amzn.to/3BsZ2mU=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

What if the greatest stories of our lives are the ones we never meant to write? On today's episode, we welcome Steven Bernstein, a man whose journey through the world of cinema has been anything but predictable. A writer at heart, a cinematographer by accident, and a director by destiny, his career is a living testament to the art of surrendering to the unknown. From his early days at the BBC to the sets of Hollywood blockbusters, his story unfolds like an unplanned masterpiece—one that ultimately brought him full circle, back to the thing he always loved: writing.In this profound conversation, Steven Bernstein recounts his journey from philosophy student to award-winning cinematographer, where his love of storytelling found an unexpected home behind the lens. He speaks of the curious ways life moves us, sometimes against our best-laid plans. “You tend to go with those things that are providing you income,” he muses, reflecting on how a passion for writing gave way to cinematography, leading him to films like Monster, Like Water for Chocolate, and Scary Movie 2. Yet, even as he shaped light and shadow for some of cinema's most striking images, the writer within him never faded.There is an undeniable poetry in the way Bernstein describes his work. He doesn't just shoot a film; he composes it, layering meaning through framing, movement, and light. Every choice—a dolly push, a backlight, an asymmetrical composition—whispers something to the audience. It's a language beyond words, one that he speaks fluently. “Everything to do with film is a language,” he explains. “And like any language, it's made up of two parts: that which we present and that which we mean.”His journey back to writing was not an easy one. After years of crafting imagery for others, he took a leap into directing his own films, starting with Decoding Annie Parker. It was a lesson in risk and resilience. At one point, he spent five years in poverty, refusing to return to the safety of cinematography. “If you hold out for the dream, maybe you achieve it,” he says. It is a stark reminder that the artist's path is often one of sacrifice, but those who persist find themselves richer in ways beyond money.Yet, Bernstein also understands the tension between art and commerce. Filmmaking is an expensive endeavor, and investors want guarantees. He describes the struggle of balancing creative vision with financial expectations, a dance between inspiration and limitation. And yet, some of the greatest filmmakers—Terry Malick, the Coen Brothers, Charlie Kaufman—have defied convention, proving that the most resonant stories often break the rules.The conversation moves to the nature of collaboration, the unspoken alchemy that happens on a film set when everyone is in sync. He recalls moments from Monster, where the crew, sensing the gravity of a scene, chose to remain completely silent, whispering only when necessary. It was an unspoken agreement, an offering to the art being created. “It was one of the most magical moments I remember in any film I've ever worked on,” he recalls. It is a glimpse into the rare, sacred spaces where true storytelling happens—not in the scripts, but in the spaces between them.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

It's the true story of the Angels of Mons. *** A Greek monastery abbess known as "Mother Rasputin" systematically murdered at least 177 people between 1939 and 1950, luring wealthy women and tuberculosis patients to surrender their fortunes before torturing them to death in one of Europe's most horrific cases of religious manipulation and mass murder.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Lead-In00:02:13.068 = Show Open00:04:19.659 = Mother Rasputin00:19:16.308 = Witness of Mons (Historical Fiction)00:26:07.226 = Angels of Mons00:55:48.801 = USS Memphis Incident01:09:28.836 = Show CloseSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Mother Rasputin”: https://emadion.it/en/homicides/serial-killers/serial-killer-women/mariam-soulakiotis-the-killer-nun/, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariam_Soulakiotis, https://www.historicmysteries.net/p/sent-from-the-devil-mariam-soulakiotis“Angels of Mons: When Heaven Intervened On The Battlefield”: https://historyhub.info/the-angel-of-mons-from-myth-to-fact, https://www.history.co.uk/articles/the-angel-of-mons-and-other-strange-supernatural-stories-from-world-war-i,https://spartacus-educational.com/FWWangelsmons.htm, https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/20834758.grandfather-said-saw-angel-mons/“USS Memphis Incident”: https://medium.com/%40oliviero65/the-uss-memphis-enigma-when-a-submerged-ufo-challenged-the-u-s-navy-b475ef905a47, https://anomalien.com/huge-ufo-stopped-a-us-nuclear-submarine-the-uss-memphis-incident/, https://www.ufoinsight.com/ufos/close-encounters/uss-memphis-underwater-ufo-presence,https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2025/05/Another-Layer-of-Nuance-to-the-UFO-Mystery-Baffling-Otherworldly-Encounters-with-Military-Naval-Vessels-/, https://amzn.to/3HoxeaI=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
