Dennis Hopper revolutionized American cinema by bringing the counterculture to the mainstream with his 1969 film Easy Rider. But he also lived his life in tandem with his art, on the fringes of society and sanity. His stubborn attitude and crazy ideas quickly transformed him from a hippie prophet into a longhaired loser. Hopper's journey from success to failure and back again took him through jungles, deserts, and mountains, and involved varying degrees of drugs, guns, hallucinations, and ex-wives – all part of a lifelong search to save his career, and his life. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including domestic violence.

The nominations are for best new dance production and outstanding achievement in dance. Last year, Emma joined Tom Power over Zoom to talk about “Islands,” which defies traditional ballet conventions and does away with tutus.

Jesus' example still challenges us today. He shows us that true greatness comes through service. We need to follow Jesus' example and serve without recognition, love without limits, and lead by kneeling. We should demonstrate "eis telos" love, love to the end, love to the fullest, and love that holds nothing back. Can our church be one that scandalizes the world through service and love?

Welcome back to Deep Focus. In this week's episode, host Rodrigo Perez, also the Editor-in-Chief of The Playlist.net taslks to Michael Sarnoski, the writer and director of “A Quiet Place: Day One” which is now available to rent or buy digitally from Paramount Home Entertainment. Sarnoski, as you probably know launched his career with the quiet and delicate indie “Pig” which featured a beautifully nuanced performance out of Nicolas Cage. For his “A Quiet Place” spin-off prequel, when John Krasinski, the writer/director of the previous two franchise installments called Sarnoski to pitch him the project, he wondered if the filmmaker would want to bring his “Pig” touch to the franchise. Sarnoski went away, thought about it a bit, and pitched his take on the movie, something epic in scale set in New York, but in many ways, deeply human, character driven and subverting a lot of blockbuster tropes in the meantime. And they all went for it. And when Krasinski said he wanted some of that “Pig” touch brought into the ‘Quiet Place' franchise, well he got exactly that and maybe more. As you may already know, ‘Day One' flashes back to the first day of the invasion by deadly creatures who hunt by sound in one of the loudest places on Earth: New York City. Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn give emotionally devastating and riveting performances as strangers who embark on a harrowing journey through the eerily quiet streets of Manhattan in order to just get a slice of pizza. I spoke to Sarnoski all about the pitching of the film, the creation of the film, working with John Krasinski, Jeff Nichols' version of the script—he was the first filmmaker on the project but bowed out—whether he would ever attempt more ‘A Quiet Place' sequel and his upcoming next film, “The Death Of Robin Hood” which will star Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theplaylist/support

What is the anti-capitalist game? For several decades, Jay Jordan and Isa Fremeaux of the game-changing Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination have been using play and games as methods of class war: from the disruptive frivolity of Reclaim the Streets marches to a Carnival Against Capitalism that shut down the London Stock Exchange; from the Climate Games that crowdsourced playful interventions against greenwashing to the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army. On the final episode of THE EXPLOITS OF PLAY we speak to Jay and Isa about their past “work” as well as their current activities, including at the ZAD: the autonomous “zone to defend” at Notre Dame de Landes, near Nantes, France, the subject of their 2021 book We Are Nature Defending Itself.Jay Jordan is co-founder of Reclaim the Streets (1995-2000) and the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army, and co-author of We Are Everywhere: The Irresistible Rise of Global Anticapitalism (Verso, 2003) and A User's Guide to Demanding the Impossible (Minor Compositions, 2011). Isabelle Fremeaux is a popular educator and action researcher. She was formerly Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at Birkbeck College London. Along with Jay Jordan, she is a coordinator of The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination. Together, they are the authors of "We Are 'Nature' Defending Itself: Entangling Art, Activism and Autonomous Zones" from Pluto Press in 2021. That book details their role in the struggle for the ZAD: an autonomous community in Western France that for decades fought back against state repression and is today a beacon of hope for radical ecological activists in that country and around the world.For full transcript and show notes please visit weirdeconomies.com.Credits:Founder and organizer of Weird Economies: Bahar NoorizadehHost: Max HaivenProducer: Halle FrostSound editor: Faye HarveySponsor: Canada Council for the Arts Hosted on Acast.

Scholars and pastors regularly point to specialized "technical" language in Paul's epistles to make the case that Paul was intentionally subverting Roman power by applying to Jesus terms that the ancients commonly applied to the Caesars. My guest today has done the hard work of analyzing the inscriptions, coins, and material remains of several key ancient cities to see how they talked about the Roman emperors in the New Testament period. In our conversation he shares his own journey to become an independent scholar as well as how his research offers a corrective to what many are saying about imperial divine honors.

This is where you can find my wonderful guests! They are incredible people. Liz Daye- linktr.ee/Lizadaye, https://www.threads.net/@lizadaye Dianne Garcia- rocaderefugiosatx.org Amy Ickes- https://www.threads.net/@aymiejoi Chris Lee- https://www.threads.net/@chrisj.lee Summary In this conversation, Jon Pyle and his guests discuss the spiritual discipline of service. They explore topics such as finding the right fit for serving, the tension between individualistic and collectivist approaches to service, and the importance of serving without expectations. They also touch on the challenges of serving in the disability community and the need for leaders to create spaces where people feel welcome and loved. In this part of the conversation, the speakers discuss the tension between serving and receiving in the church. They talk about the importance of allowing people to receive and be served, as well as the need for balance and rest. They also highlight the negative effects of consumer-driven church culture and the pressure to constantly be serving. The speakers emphasize the need for leaders to listen to the needs and whispers of their congregation and create a healthy culture that encourages people to serve in a healthy and whole way. They also discuss the importance of subverting expectations and being present to the needs of the community. The conversation explores the concept of service within the context of the church and beyond. It touches on the importance of recognizing the humanity of others and meeting their needs, the subversive nature of Christianity, and the need to reframe spiritual disciplines as communal experiences. The speakers also discuss the role of personal relationship with Jesus in American Christianity, the need for balance and rest in service, and the importance of developing a posture of service that allows for both giving and receiving. Takeaways Finding the right fit for serving involves starting somewhere, even if it's a small task, and being open to trying new things. Service should be rooted in joy and passion, but there are also times when we need to do things that make us uncomfortable or that simply need to be done. In collectivist communities, there can be pressure to serve and expectations that everyone should contribute. However, it's important to create spaces where people feel welcome and loved, regardless of their ability to serve. Leaders should be mindful of not pigeonholing people and should take the time to get to know individuals and their passions and gifts. Service is a deeply human act that can transform both the giver and the receiver, and it should be done with abundant generosity and without expectations. There is a tension between serving and receiving in the church, and it is important to allow people to receive and be served. Balance and rest are crucial in the context of serving and being served. Consumer-driven church culture can be detrimental, and there is a need to create a healthy culture that encourages people to serve in a healthy and whole way. Leaders should listen to the needs and whispers of their congregation and be present to their needs. Subverting expectations and being aware of the needs of the community are important in creating a healthy church culture. Service starts with recognizing the humanity of others and meeting their needs. Christianity is subversive and pushes against our worst impulses as humans. Spiritual disciplines should be reframed as communal experiences. The focus on personal relationship with Jesus in American Christianity has influenced the idea of individual spirituality rather than community. Leaders in the church should set an example of balanced service, rest, and grace. Developing a posture of service allows for both giving and receiving. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/betterontheinside/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/betterontheinside/support

China trying to meddle in US elections may not be front page news anymore because it's been going on for so many years. But that doesn't mean it's no longer a threat. In fact, China's attempts to interfere in US democracy are more alarming than ever, and China's doing it in more ways than you might think. In this episode of China Unscripted, we talk about how China is trying to meddle in American democracy, what the US should do about China's militarized islands in the South China Sea, and why the US response to conflicts in the Middle East and Europe have an effect on China's plan to invade Taiwan. Joining us in this episode is John Teichert, a retired US Air Force brigadier general who wrote “Boom!: Leadership that Breaks Barriers, Challenges Convention, and Ignites Innovation.” He's currently running for the US Senate representing Maryland.
Former Trump lawyer John Eastman says people are being attacked for holding views different than the government. That's an authoritarian turn never before seen in this country. Project 65 is one of the Left's funded organizations trying to disbar all attorneys involved in election challenges and make them so toxic that the right legal talent will never again take on election challenges. The California bar is making Eastman defend himself in a long, expensive 10 week trial while defending the 2020 election. Eastman says he has evidence of illegality in several states that put at issue elections in all states. He says he has to defend the entirety of election challenges at his own expense. Eastman says the weakness of this White House emboldened evil actors around the world to attack Israel on Oct. 7th. If Trump had been inaugurated on Jan. 20th, 2021, none of this would have happened. Eastman believes people are waking up to that now and are engaging in the 2024 election. He says one of these cases will eventually end up before the Supreme Court and he hopes the Justices will be able to stand up to the constant threats made against them, that they will step up and do what's right. But he can't make a prediction they will.GUEST: ATTORNEY JOHN EASTMAN, GIVESENDGO.COM/EASTMAN LEGAL DEFENSE FUND See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
