In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Larry Swanson, a knowledge architect, community builder, and host of the Knowledge Graph Insights podcast. They explore the relationship between knowledge graphs and ontologies, why these technologies matter in the age of AI, and how symbolic AI complements the current wave of large language models. The conversation traces the history of neuro-symbolic AI from its origins at Dartmouth in 1956 through the semantic web vision of Tim Berners-Lee, examining why knowledge architecture remains underappreciated despite being deployed at major enterprises like Netflix, Amazon, and LinkedIn. Swanson explains how RDF (Resource Description Framework) enables both machines and humans to work with structured knowledge in ways that relational databases can't, while Alsop shares his journey from knowledge management director to understanding the practical necessity of ontologies for business operations. They discuss the philosophical roots of the field, the separation between knowledge management practitioners and knowledge engineers, and why startups often overlook these approaches until scale demands them.

Knowledge Graphs Combine Structure and Instances Through Ontological Design. A knowledge graph is built using an ontology that describes a specific domain you want to understand or work with. It includes both an ontological description of the terrain—defining what things exist and how they relate to one another—and instances of those things mapped to real-world data. This combination of abstract structure and concrete examples is what makes knowledge graphs powerful for discovery, question-answering, and enabling agentic AI systems. Not everyone agrees on the precise definition, but this understanding represents the practical approach most knowledge architects use when building these systems.2. Ontology Engineering Has Deep Philosophical Roots That Inform Modern Practice. The field draws heavily from classical philosophy, particularly ontology (the nature of what you know), epistemology (how you know what you know), and logic. These thousands-year-old philosophical frameworks provide the rigorous foundation for modern knowledge representation. Living in Heidelberg surrounded by philosophers, Swanson has discovered how much of knowledge graph work connects upstream to these philosophical roots. This philosophical grounding becomes especially important during times when institutional structures are collapsing, as we need to create new epistemological frameworks for civilization—knowledge management and ontology become critical tools for restructuring how we understand and organize information.3. The Semantic Web Vision Aimed to Transform the Internet Into a Distributed Database. Twenty-five years ago, Tim Berners-Lee, Jim Hendler, and Ora Lassila published a landmark article in Scientific American proposing the semantic web. While Berners-Lee had already connected documents across the web through HTML and HTTP, the semantic web aimed to connect all the data—essentially turning the internet into a giant database. This vision led to the development of RDF (Resource Description Framework), which emerged from DARPA research and provides the technical foundation for building knowledge graphs and ontologies. The origin story involved solving simple but important problems, like disambiguating whether "Cook" referred to a verb, noun, or a person's name at an academic conference.4. Symbolic AI and Neural Networks Represent Complementary Approaches Like Fast and Slow Thinking. Drawing on Kahneman's "thinking fast and slow" framework, LLMs represent the "fast brain"—learning monsters that can process enormous amounts of information and recognize patterns through natural language interfaces. Symbolic AI and knowledge graphs represent the "slow brain"—capturing actual knowledge and facts that can counter hallucinations and provide deterministic, explainable reasoning. This complementarity is driving the re-emergence of neuro-symbolic AI, which combines both approaches. The fundamental distinction is that symbolic AI systems are deterministic and can be fully explained, while LLMs are probabilistic and stochastic, making them unsuitable for applications requiring absolute reliability, such as industrial robotics or pharmaceutical research.5. Knowledge Architecture Remains Underappreciated Despite Powering Major Enterprises. While machine learning engineers currently receive most of the attention and budget, knowledge graphs actually power systems at Netflix (the economic graph), Amazon (the product graph), LinkedIn, Meta, and most major enterprises. The technology has been described as "the most astoundingly successful failure in the history of technology"—the semantic web vision seemed to fail, yet more than half of web pages now contain RDF-formatted semantic markup through schema.org, and every major enterprise uses knowledge graph technology in the background. Knowledge architects remain underappreciated partly because the work is cognitively difficult, requires talking to people (which engineers often avoid), and most advanced practitioners have PhDs in computer science, logic, or philosophy.6. RDF's Simple Subject-Predicate-Object Structure Enables Meaning and Data Linking. Unlike relational databases that store data in tables with rows and columns, RDF uses the simplest linguistic structure: subject-predicate-object (like "Larry knows Stuart"). Each element has a unique URI identifier, which permits precise meaning and enables linked data across systems. This graph structure makes it much easier to connect data after the fact compared to navigating tabular structures in relational databases. On top of RDF sits an entire stack of technologies including schema languages, query languages, ontological languages, and constraints languages—everything needed to turn data into actionable knowledge. The goal is inferring or articulating knowledge from RDF-structured data.7. The Future Requires Decoupled Modular Architectures Combining Multiple AI Approaches. The vision for the future involves separation of concerns through microservices-like architectures where different systems handle what they do best. LLMs excel at discovering possibilities and generating lists, while knowledge graphs excel at articulating human-vetted, deterministic versions of that information that systems can reliably use. Every one of Swanson's 300 podcast interviews over ten years ultimately concludes that regardless of technology, success comes down to human beings, their behavior, and the cultural changes needed to implement systems. The assumption that we can simply eliminate people from processes misses that huma...

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about experimenting with your own growth. My guest this week is Jen Wilson, a coach and consultant whose nontraditional career path has taught her that confidence doesn't come from perfection; it comes from trusting yourself to handle whatever happens next.Jen shares how she built her career through unexpected twists and turns, including co-founding innovative schools, burning out and then reinventing her work on her own terms. We explore why self-trust matters more than fearlessness, how small, low-risk experiments can rewire long-held patterns of self-doubt and practical ways to pause, observe your triggers and create new neural “tracks” that support courage and authentic action.About My GuestJennifer Wilson is a consultant, coach, educator, activist, and author. She founded New Leaf Coaching and Consulting in 2006 to partner with world-changing organizations, such as The Obama Foundation and NRDC, that are committed to social and environmental justice. As an abuse survivor, she uses both her pain and resilience to support others in their own healing.Jennifer earned a Masters in Counseling and Educational Psychology, leading to a career in community social work with youth and families before holding multiple roles within K12 public schools and higher education in Wisconsin. After co-founding two high schools serving marginalized urban youth in Milwaukee, she shifted her focus to working for transformational change within higher education and the nonprofit sectors to ensure that future generations live on a healthy planet in just societies.Jennifer has had a lifelong love affair with words and writing. She had her first byline in 4th grade, reporting the 4-H club news for her local paper, and the first book she bought with her own money was Roget's Thesaurus. When she's not reading or writing, she heads outside for inspiration, across her home state of Wisconsin and around the world. ~Connect with Jen:Book - Waking Up to Your Worth: https://consultnewleaf.com/waking-up-to-your-worth-ten-touchstones-for-overcoming-imposter-syndrome/ Website: https://consultnewleaf.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/consultnewleaf/ ~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://kimmeninger.com
W wywiadzie z prof. Anną Dorotą Potocką, kuratorką wystawy „Thesaurus” na Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Warszawie, słuchacze mieli okazję poznać kulisy jednego z najciekawszych wydarzeń artystycznych ostatnich miesięcy. Wystawa prezentowana w Pałacu Czapskich ukazuje niezwykle cenne dzieła z klasztoru sióstr wizytek, które po raz pierwszy od 370 lat opuściły mury klasztoru.Jak podkreśliła prof. Potocka, ekspozycja jest wyjątkowa z dwóch powodów:„Po pierwsze dlatego, że mamy szansę zobaczyć obiekty, które nigdy nie były upubliczniane. Po drugie – to rezultat trzyletnich prac konserwatorskich prowadzonych przez kadrę naukową, studentów i dyplomantów Wydziału Konserwacji i Restauracji Dzieł Sztuki ASP.”Wystawa ma charakter efemeryczny – potrwa zaledwie trzy tygodnie, po czym dzieła powrócą do klasztoru i znów staną się przedmiotem modlitwy. Kuratorka przyznała, że moment pierwszego zetknięcia z tymi obrazami był dla niej głęboko poruszający:„Wrażenie było nieprawdopodobne, zwłaszcza kiedy pierwszy raz przekroczyłam próg klasztoru. Przemieszczałam się z dzwoneczkiem, aby sygnalizować swoją obecność. Siostry wtedy usuwały się, tak aby mnie nie spotkać.”Na wystawie można zobaczyć 13 obrazów – głównie dzieła szkoły włoskiej i flamandzkiej. Wśród nich znalazły się także prace pochodzące z donacji królewskich – m.in. od Wazów i Sobieskich, a także z darów magnackich i rodzin zakonnych.„Te najcenniejsze, najstarsze, które prezentujemy, pochodzą z donacji królowej Ludwiki Marii Gonzagi, która przekazała je siostrom po sprowadzeniu zakonu w 1654 roku.”Istotną częścią ekspozycji jest również film dokumentujący proces konserwacji, który pozwala zobaczyć kulisy pracy konserwatorów.„Chodziło nam o to, by widz mógł zobaczyć nie tylko efekty, ale też jak powstaje ta praca – jak wygląda proces badania i ratowania dzieł.”W rozmowie prof. Potocka opowiedziała również o dramatycznych losach obrazów – ewakuowanych, zamurowywanych, ukrywanych w czasie wojen i powstań.„Te obrazy przeszły gehennę, tak samo jak ludność Warszawy. Siostry ukrywały je w piwnicach, zamurowywały w ścianach, zakopywały w ogrodzie.”Prace konserwatorskie, które trwały trzy lata, pozwoliły nie tylko ocalić dzieła, ale też odkryć ich proweniencję. Dzięki badaniom technologiczno-historycznym udało się zidentyfikować m.in. monumentalne dzieło Camillo Procacciniego, wybitnego włoskiego malarza.Na zakończenie prof. Potocka zaprosiła do odwiedzenia wystawy, przypominając, że jest to jedyna okazja, by zobaczyć te dzieła poza murami klasztoru.
Ways of Knowing: Oral Histories on the Worlds Words Create (Litwin Books, 2025) sits at the heart of the library project, shaping how materials are described and organized and how they can be retrieved. The field has long understood that normative systems like Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress do this inadequately and worse, deploying language and categories that are rooted in white supremacy, patriarchy, and U.S. imperialism. In Ways of Knowing, Emily Drabinski and Amanda Belantara present unique and timely oral histories of alternative thesauri created in response to the inadequacies and biases embedded within widely adopted standards in libraries. The oral histories tell the stories behind the thesauri through the narratives of the people who created them, revealing aspects of thesauri work that ordinarily are overlooked or uncovered. The set of oral histories included in the volume document the Chicano Thesaurus, A Women's Thesaurus, and Homosaurus. Drabinski and Belantara recorded hour-long oral histories with two representatives from each project, documenting the origins of each thesaurus, the political and social context from which they emerged, and the processes involved in their development and implementation. Introductory essays provide a context for each thesaurus in the history of information and activism in libraries. The book and accompanying digital files constitute the first primary source of its kind and a unique contribution to the history of metadata work in libraries. Capturing these stories through sound recording offers new ways of understanding the field of critical cataloging and classification as we hear the joy, frustration, urgency, and seriousness of critical metadata work. Find the Ways of Knowing project online at https://waysofknowing.org/. This interview also makes reference to Sorting Things Out: Classification and Its Consequences by Geoffrey C. Bowker and Susan Leigh Star, available open access from MIT Press. Amanda mentioned her online exhibit about the Chicano Studies Library, available at https://bibliopolitica.org/. Amanda Belantara is Assistant Curator at New York University Libraries. Emily Drabinski is Associate Professor and librarian at the City University of New York. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology.

Dear Reader,While it is not my intention to begin this book with a riddle for levity's sake, it is my intention to ask you to use your intellect from page one. You see, some murders are prompted by basic emotions that render a killer's motivation most obvious. Other murders are committed out of a need to serve a higher purpose, such as personal or ideological loyalty, and/or religious martyrdom. But the Columbus Stocking Strangler murders will never rise to the elegance of such, no matter how much the perpetrators of these atrocities might insist. These graphic slayings of seven elderly white women were executed for a series of reasons that for over almost four decades have gone undecipherable and in the end, were simply part of a much larger puzzle that until now has remained hidden. So let us continue with the riddle…What is another word for Thesaurus? Thought provoking, isn't it?For how do you describe something that in essence exists only to describe everything else, but not itself? I think you would agree with me then, that sometimes there simply isn't a better word or group of words to describe a thing other than the words that originally describes it the best. Thus, you have the reason why the title for this book could be nothing other than: LORDS OF THE HARVEST: A TRUE CRIME INVESTIGATIVE MEMOIR.This investigative memoir begins with my introduction to the murders in Columbus, Georgia in 1977, where the word harvest took on another meaning and the tools that were used to harvest these ‘matured' victims will not only shock you—but lead you to other horrors, once shrouded in mystery and considered as stand-alone or disconnected serial murders… until my discovery of the key that unlocks them all.The Chicago Lipstick MurdersThe Black DahliaThe Boston StranglingsThe Zodiac MurdersThe Sonoma StranglingsAtlanta's Missing and Murdered ChildrenThe Orange County Michigan Murders and many more…https://amzn.to/4mTFm27Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Weapons Kids are creepy right? We can all agree on that? Well, you know whats even creepier? When there are meant to be kids and they aren’t there. Or even worse… there’s just one.

I’m unsure of who I am at the moment. I could be a weapon, I’m not sure. But you know who I know is absolutely a weapon. Jill. Jill is absolutely a weapon. Quinny Look at those ******* guns. Boom. Dion And and Quinny is potentially a weapon. Quinny Look, I I had to register my entire body as deadly weapon as, as, as legally one is bound to when one is as hard as ******* as I. Jill Make a gun. Dion Am I was actually going to say if you. If you commit to it quinny, if you if you, if you you put yourself on a regime, if you go to the gym, you could build yourself into a weapon. And. Quinny Buddy, I I am a weapon. It’s just like I’m a 10 LB ******* gun. I’m like, you know, you you you’re thinking of like a a fast kind of swishy weapon. I’m more like a like a a fat man bomb that gets dropped off, you know. Speaker 6 Yeah. Quinny So technically, still the weapon. Dion I wasn’t gonna. I wasn’t gonna go there. Quinny Yeah, well, I know. And as telling us, there’s better being a weapon than being a tool. What are you? Dion Yeah, yeah. Now you’re a ******. Don’t don’t tism me. This is that will go down a rabbit hole. We’re not going to do it. Yes. OK. Weapons. We went and. Quinny I know, right? Dion Saw weapons. We did, we. Quinny Can’t get a water bomb is a weapon too. Dion All of that what is a weapon? Yeah. Quinny Is that my physique? Is that what? Speaker 7 We’re saying no. Dion Philosophically. OK, so story time now. A while back, Jill and I went and saw a. Jill Little film we trauma bonded over, but Marion. Dion Yeah, we trailer bond, we weren’t. We didn’t know what was going on. We weren’t. It was like, ohh this film. It’s called barbarian. OK, whatever. We’ll go do that. And they were good. They gave us some alcohol. I’m like, oh, yeah. Let’s get on this and started watching a film. And then. Don’t know, maybe. 3045 minutes into it, we started going wait, where the **** is this going? And and it just proceeded to get even ******* more terrifying and crazy all the way to the end. And then we walked out going. That was ******* cool. Jill Yes, it was ****** **, but it was cool. Dion Yeah, it was. Speaker Quinny You’re not normally a huge horror fan. No, but like you, you will watch it. If it’s in front of. Dion I mean, you know, like I’m not the sort of person who’s like, oh, is it gory and horror, sure. Or go and laugh. I’m just more like, I don’t really need to see that. It has to be a good horror, elevated horror. Elevated horror is a discerning horror. Which, you know, like the traditional stuff like nightmare on Elm Street, you know and. Quinny 13th. Dion Friday 13th and I don’t really go into. I don’t need to see Gore for the sake of gore. Jill Those are like a sub genre though those are. Dion Yeah, yeah. And slasher. Yeah. And but a good. Speaker 6 Slasher films, yeah. Quinny Horror. Torture. ****. Not it’s like, you know, that kind of stuff where it’s just watching people be. Dion Nice. Jill Like so. Quinny Exactly. Dion Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like all that kind of stuff can kind of get a bit confused in. But you know, I can’t say I’m a fan of it because, you know, given the choice, I’m not sure that I’d go and see barbarian or weapons again in that kind of sense. But was it a good film? Yeah. Speaker But. Dion You know, it was just that way that it kind of went through. So sure, I’m not a huge horror fan. Jill. Jill though. Yeah, she yeah loves it. Except for. Jill You love it. Clowns. No, no, it I’ll never watch it. Dion Yeah. So. It. Quinny Ohh, but you’re you’re not looking forward to welcome. To Derry then. Speaker 6 Yeah. Quinny The the prequel to it. Jill Good, because I would have thought it was something to do with dairy. Dion Yeah. Speaker 8 Girls and I would have gone and seen it. And I would have been very upset. Quinny Why would you would have? It’s a TV series coming out soon and I’m actually really pumped. I’ve. Speaker 6 Yeah, no. Quinny It was one of those books that ******* creeped this **** out of me as a kid and you know, I’m like, yeah. Dion Sure. Jill I couldn’t stare at a drain for a very long time because my father would say ohh it lives in the trees and it’s little children. So here I am in the shower, not making eye contact. Dion Sure. Speaker 6 Yeah, yeah. Jill With the brain. Dion With the train. Jill Thinking it was any kind of drain that this ******* clown lived in. Dion Which which technically it did. So it does live in every drain and it is a clown. Jill Yeah. Yeah. And I’m like, don’t look down there cause you’ll see something staring back and. I was *******. He’s terrified. Quinny Hi, Georgie. Dion Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like if if I go down that rabbit hole, I could still easily terrify the **** out of myself. Quinny Yep. Dion Yes, so. Jill I do kind of tend to watch horror as a form of. Therapy. Because I’m in a constant state of fight or. Speaker 8 Flight with anxiety and if. Jill I were to ah. Film. Then I I know that that is something that I can’t control and it’s I just have to go along for the ride. So I just kind of like purges the fright. Dion Sure. I mean it’s. Quinny Out and also. Yeah, it gives you that, that, that moment of tension and then release, whereas having a life of anxiety means there’s no release. Yeah, exactly. Speaker 6 Yes. Quinny Just tension. Constant ******* ongoing tension. Jill Yeah. Quinny Yeah. Yeah, no, I get that totally. Dion Quinny, do you consider yourself a fan of horror? Quinny As a kid, **** no. Like I was terrified of anything that looked even remotely like horror, you know, like, even seeing a cover of a VHS of something like extra or fright night or something like that was enough to make me, you know. You have nightmares for ages, so it took me a really long time till I ever went anything near horror and I came to horror through so if I. Dion Sure. Quinny So right, you know, the first horror that I watched was aliens. And yeah, because that wasn’t really a horror. That was, you know, an action film that had horror elements. Speaker 6 Hmm. Quinny Then I went back and rewatched or watched alien and was scared ********. But then I started to kind of get into it. No invasion of the body snatchers and. Like that and now I have a thing that I’m not in a huge rush to go and watch a horror. Speaker 6 Sure. Yeah. Quinny But I will watch a good one. Dion And so back to this whole sort of story when weapons came out and it’s by Zach Krieger, who Jill and I have had the Zach Cregger experience with barbarian. And while we were like, this is gonna be like I I remember I was looking at. Speaker 6 Hmm. Speaker We have. Dion Oh great. Ohh wait. OK. Like I’ll go see what this is, but I knew what I was going into. The funniest thing was watching it with Quinn, who had not. Had this experience at. All just going. What the **** I’m like, yeah. Quinny No. That’s in fact there. There are multiple times in the film where characters exclaim loudly what the ****? Sure, and I agree wholeheartedly with them. Jill Yeah. Dion Because there is a part of this where I feel like weapons is communicating with the audio. Once in a really interesting way and it doesn’t spoil anything. I just feel like there are parts of the movie and beats of the story and things that are going where it the the film makers are communicating with the audience going. We’ve just shown you a bunch of ****** ** **** and we’ve had a character on screen and saying what the **** and the whole audience is like. Yeah, what the ****? Quinny Yeah, yeah. Dion And it really it was an interesting as you were saying, the release of tension and I felt like that came through at the end too where it. Diverged a little bit, but allowed the audience to have that tension released, which has been built up for the whole thing, so I consider this one not particularly a horror, but it is. Let’s be honest. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Jill Ohh it is. Dion But it is. Quinny It’s it’s a proper horror, but you know. Dion It’s a it’s a really good tension film. Jill Yeah, Arena asked. Is it more of a thriller? But I would say no, it’s definitely. Speaker 6 And. Dion No, no. Jill Not not thriller. Dion No, because and the horror. Quinny It. It does good tension building and it is it has that kind of thriller kind of thing, but no, it’s very definitely. Dion Yeah. Speaker 6 Yes. Dion Yeah, as you say, like, oh, I’m not going with jump scares. I’m like, well, maybe this is not for you. Quinny In fact, this has moments that are not jump scares, but like there are there are some of the most effective moments of like, skin crawling horror that I have seen in a long time, and hearing a whole. Dion Horror. Just dread. That contained no. Quinny Audience yeah, react to them and ohh wow. Dion With like and they have no blood. It’s just really good ******* creepy ****. Speaker 1 Yeah, and like. Dion That you’re waiting for something. Jill I I love all of that stuff. And when one of. The big jump scares happened and I screamed. Dion He did. Speaker It was great. Quinny A big way. Dion Yeah, and. And look, let’s be honest, we all knew it was coming. Like that’s one of the great things when you still have that result like ohh ****. Even though I knew it was coming. Speaker 6 Yeah. Jill Yes. Yeah. Like, I’m like, oh, my God, I know this is coming. And then it did. And then I screamed. And I’m like, I haven’t screamed and. It jumps Gary and ages. Yeah. So it was it. Was a good pay off do do you wanna know? Dion And the. Quinny What the film’s actually about? No, no. Dion Not yet. One one second, one second. Can I, can I ask you one question because I don’t actually have any music and you’ve caught me off guard. Quinny I think. It. Yeah. Dion The last movie that I saw that did the same kind of thing that I really actually didn’t enjoy was smile too. Ohh yeah yeah. So watched that. Yeah, and I mean. Jill Never. Quinny Ohh you should get into that Joe. Jill Yeah, it’s on, it’s on telly. I’ll watch it, yeah. Quinny Yeah. That for the for the discomforting side of it, Dee or the. Dion No, the the way that it like, I mean smile, which I haven’t seen and I saw smile to going in blind which is a bit funny but I understood the craft and I thought they did it really well but they jump scares became a point where it was. Just this is the building to a jump scare. Whereas I liked weapons more because it was like is it a jump scare? Maybe you know? And it was some sort of smarter done and then sometimes was like, hey, it’s not a jump scare. It’s just something absolutely ******* terrifying that doesn’t really do it. Yeah, it’s it’s. And it’s not about some. That is terrifying. It’s the idea of it is built and constructed in such a great way that the audience is filling in their brain about how terrifying and what bad things could happen, and then it doesn’t really happen that way. It just puts the the situation goes, hey, how would you react to this situation? And everyone in the audience is going *******. No, I don’t want to be in that situation. I don’t want. To do this, I want to leave. Anyway. Quinny Absolutely. OK. Dion Sorry, synopsis time. Do you know what I’ve got? I’ve got on the boards for the music to go behind. It is stuff. Quinny I don’t know. Dion From Kpop Demon Hunter. So do you want that? Why not? We haven’t had enough. Speaker 6 No. Quinny Why? No, I mean, hey, by the way, the the golden from K pop demon hunters went to number one of the Billboard charts today. Wow. Dion Excellent. Hear it again. Speaker 7 Yeah, well, let’s go with. Quinny We’re just increasing its plays. Dion Sure. Quinny Jill You’re gonna give us, like a Anna Delphi. Quinny Ohh but I can because you’re a poor. Dion Yes, do it. Quinny OK, when all but one child from the same classroom mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time because they’re porous. Speaker 7 Right. Quinny A community is left questioning who or what is behind the disappearances. Sorry that just turned into the chick from SBS. Speaker 8 This is going. Jill I was like, it’s like Christoph Waltz and Christopher Walken met Christoph Walton. Quinny First off. I apologize. I apologize to everybody that was, that was the absolute peak of **** accent. Speaker Yeah. Jill Wait, was that the whole boxes? Quinny Yeah. When all but one child from the same club, I can. Speaker Oh. Quinny Do a slightly longer. 1 So it’s a a horror film about a community grappling with the disappearance of 17 children from the same class, all vanishing at the same time on the same. Night and it follows. The aftermath, exploring things of trauma, grief, and the unsettling nature of the events of the townspeople, tried to understand. What happened and who is responsible? Dion Double s in officers. OK, one of them was backed by K pop and the other was. Just a flat scare. So. OK, yeah, good. Quinny Sorry. Dion Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good so. Quinny Right. Yeah. That’s how we should do it. That’s that’s how we work there. Yes. And there was a little gesture. Dion Now very. Quinny In there I’m. Dion Sorry, very, very, very importantly, there was a notice in front of the screening. Which was, hey, don’t spoil it for people where people go in and I thought, OK, it’s a bit naff. Let the thing stand on its own. You know, there’s no need to go through it. But it went on upon reflection. Speaker 8 Yes. Dion Having it’s it’s been out for a while now. I actually kind of go. Yeah, I don’t. Really want to. Do a big spoil because not that I think you’d lose anything from it. I just think it’s a more interesting film to not know. Sort of the last third going into it, I think it has a better effect, not not giving a **** about it. Like, don’t really listen. To. People reviewing it and and spoiling stuff because. You kind of lose. Jill It. Yeah, I mean, the trailer was enough and then kind of like discovering what is actually going on is I think lends more to the suspense and and keeps it interesting. Dion Yeah. Speaker Yeah. Quinny Yeah, I do want to talk like a little bit structurally about what happens at the end of the film, but I don’t want to talk about. Jill Oh yeah. OK. Quinny The the the facts of it like you know. But anyway, let’s not talk about that bit. Let’s talk about the beginning of the film. So a base concept, a bunch of kids run away one night. But it’s not just that they run away. Speaker 7 Yeah. Quinny They Naruto runner. Jill Naruto run, they’re going to storm area 51. Yeah, at 2:17 in the morning? Absolutely. Dion At 2:17 and it’s all through grainy camera footage. And I love the little child like voice, voice over narration of, like, this is a true story. This is the stuff that happened and blah blah blah and I’m like. Speaker 7 Which is. Jill Yeah, it gives it a little bit of found footage vibe. Dion Bit Nash. Jill Which is yeah. It’s like a bit creepy. Quinny Yeah, yeah, this this does that whole found footage and like, different cameras and stuff like that. So much better than that war of. The world’s ********. Dion ****, don’t. Don’t even. It’s it’s an interesting one too, because what I really like about it is it is. It is an easy to understand story. It’s set in suburban Americana. Sort of. There is something creepy going on in a space that generally wouldn’t be considered creepy, and I think you did it also in barbarian like and I and I really enjoy that. It doesn’t necessarily need. Rich people, poor people. It’s not about, you know, X&Y. It’s like, look, this weird thing happened. Hmm, that has probably been going on for a long time. In this and everyone is unsettled by it, but in the end. Life will keep going. And I really, I really like they explained at the start, they’re like ohh this really strange thing and in the end everyone just sort of accepted it. And moved on because it was too upsetting for people and I really like that it gave it a good basis and a good foundation to sort of settle in and go, OK what the? Quinny **** did happen but, but also it it does that that very smart thing of going OK how do people in you know, small towns react to bad things happening? They’ll turn. Dion You know clue. Speaker 7 Insect. Quinny And and the the most obvious person to turn on is the the the school teacher. So if every kid from the class Bar 1. You know doesn’t show up who’s the first thing you’re gonna look at the school teacher. You’re gonna ask questions there. Jill See, I’m the opposite. I’m like, why is this one? Kid left on, yeah. Quinny Oh yeah, 100 percent, 100%. Jill What’s going on with this kid? Quinny And the the the good thing is they actually show you like they they interview the kid, they do a lot of like they go to great lengths to really show you that due diligence has been done. Yeah. You know, and this is just there is no answer. It’s just ******* weird. Jill Yeah, it’s it’s puzzling. Dion And and like I love that they used quite well in this, like the vignette sort of style, the way they chop it up and they follow, you know, you get introduced to kind of some of the characters and then you get like as you get introduced to more, it starts replaying their stories. And I like the way that they use that quite effectively, which is like here’s. This person, and this is their story. And then we’ll follow someone else and it overlaps and it overlaps and it overlaps until you finally get to the. Jill Yeah. And chill, there’s a point where it’s like, hang on a second. Something really *******. Dion Yeah. Jill Weird’s going on? Dion And until it gets to the point where it’s like, OK, we’ve given you enough back story about how all these things are kind of overlapping and then we’re just gonna follow this one. And explain exactly what happened and you were like by that time you’re like ohh ****. Like, how do you resolve this? What the **** did happen? Quinny Yeah. Jill Yeah, it was a good point to reveal it as well because like, it was a very kind of slow burn intro to the movie. And I was like, ohh, where is this going like? Dion Yeah. Jill It’s maybe, yeah, becoming a little bit dull until like you do get that pivot point and it’s like, ohh ****. OK now strap in, cause I’m ready for. Dion So. Quinny Yeah, yeah, yeah. She’s gotten real ****** **. Yeah, it it’s interesting because I was watching it and my immediate thought was the film rush him on, which is the one where they they tell the same story, but from different perspectives. And you see the way that interacts. It’s like that. But it it’s sort of. Jill The rest of it. Speaker Hmm. Jill Yeah. Quinny Just showing you different parts, but then continuing the story on. Yeah, which I thought was really smart. Jill And thank God you you made the cultural reference and didn’t go with like Pulp Fiction. Quinny Sure. Well, you know, because I’ve all filmically ******* knowledgeable. Dion I mean, look, you know. Jill It was like, where did that reference come from? Russian. Dion Barbarian great one much shorter like Barbarians. Only 100 minutes. Yeah, right. This one’s 128 minutes. So we got almost an extra half hour of, you know, additional weirdness, which I think was deserved in this. Like I really like the pacing and the punch of barbarian because it just kind of like starts off real slow and then starts hammering through this one. Get it? Has the same sort of thing. It starts off real slow, but it gives you time to build that tension. And then I think at the end, a little bit more. Time like. When you start explaining things. I thought it would move a little bit quicker, but I have to admit by the end of it I was like, Oh no, I’m fine with how you. Decided you wanted to go with this and by the time you get to that big turn or the big understanding about what is going on, which I say is like 2/3 of the way. Through the film. It does delve into stuff where I’m like, is this funny? Is this not funny? But also, how are you gonna resolve this? And the only way to do it is. Kind of with a little bit of ridiculousness. But I thought it. Was it served it quite well? Quinny I think the thing that worked for me about it was the way the characters each sort of had their their very clear part of the story. 3 and when it intersects with one particular place, that’s where **** starts to go badly wrong for everyone you know you’re you’re trying to. Everybody’s trying to work out. Something and they’ve all got their their challenges. So you’ve you’ve got our our Julia Garner. Who’s been Justine, who obviously school teacher Josh Brolin is the dad of one of the. Benedict Wong is one of the the principal principal of the the school. Alden Ehrenreich is one of the cops, and Austin Abrams is is a a junkie for I mean, for lack of any better description. Jill He’s. Dion Just cop. Quinny And each of them. Speaker 6 They’ve. Quinny Their their thing, their story, their interaction, yeah. Speaker 7 Sure. Jill And each of their encounters with what is going on. And so you kind of get their perspective on. Ohh man, how do we trying? Speaker 8 It’s hard not to spoil it, but. Dion Isn’t it you? You get there? It’s, it’s. Yeah, they they put out like, I mean the the, the film posits a strange occurrence, and then all of these different people come into it at different ways, like their their approach that they’re in, they’re affected by it in different ways. And the way that they approach it is. All 100% what everyone knew and I would do like. Yeah, there are no, there is no stupid situation. I have to admit there’s nothing stupid about each of these characters and decisions they’re making along the way. It’s just that there is something else affecting them and we as the audience know that there is something real bad. Happening and we can’t stop them, even though within their characters like, you know, the problem with horror and like that kind of stuff. You’re like, don’t go into there. That’s stupid. You never do that. Stop splitting. Up. I don’t think there’s one character in this that makes a dumb. Speaker 6 Yeah. Dion Every single character is like. This is weird. But I need to find the kids. And I’m just going to do something that’s seemingly innocuous but suddenly ends up in a world. Of hurt. Like and, that’s what I thought was great about it. Isn’t one of those things like watch out for the slash? Are they going to get you? It’s like, no, they don’t know they’re. Going to be gotten. Because they’re doing something really boring, like going to a house. In the middle of the day, yeah. And then, you know, bad **** happens not because they made a dumb decision, because something else is affecting them. Quinny Yes. Yeah, it’s, it’s smart and it doesn’t treat its audiences in any way stupid. Yeah, it takes some weird turns. Ohh. Dion 100%. Quinny Like, yeah, there’s, I don’t know whether we talk about it afterwards or what, but there’s stuff to in the last act that I was just like, what the ****? And it really there was in some very strange directions. But up until that point, you’ve also had a bunch of pretty ******* weird moments. And there’s a point where. Speaker Yeah. Quinny Like you said, Joe, it’s gone fairly slowly for a while. Yeah. And then there’s a point. Where it just suddenly ramps up and it’s no longer creeping dread. Now it’s running ******* screaming, running, screaming, terrifying. Jill Naruto running. Quinny This is ******** terror. Dion And. Look, I I. Liked it because they set everyone up as an unreliable narrator or character, but everyone is in is is unreliable in this you immediately start following Justine, who’s the school teacher, and they go to great lengths to explain why. Maybe she. Speaker 6 Yeah. Speaker It. Dion You know, and they do all of that like maybe the father, like is Josh Brolin’s character is maybe he’s got something to do with it because he seems. Overly crazy at certain points of time, but. Ultimately it’s it’s it’s very sane reactions to a very insane situation, and I think that was the success of how it worked. Speaker 6 For me, does that make sense? Yeah. Here’s one roll. Sorry. Dion Hmm, also shot beautifully. Also shot. Beautifully. Quinny Shot beautifully and a lot of it in the very, very, very dark. Dion But that’s what worked, man. Quinny Absolutely. Like there are a lot of sequences moving around through dark houses and at night and stuff like that, which you know is one of those great tropes of all things horror. I do remember watching something recently only in the last couple of years where I was blown away that they did a horror, but in full daylight. Jill Oh, OK. Quinny And I’m bugged if I remember what it was, but it it it really impressed me that they managed to do. In full light, this one does a bit of it here and then the really. Speaker 7 The character I. Quinny Wanted to call out that I thought was really impressive. Was James the our junkie buddy, really? Speaker 8 OK, well, I was impressive. Quinny His character, like in terms of performance wise. Not likable, not likable at all, but the energy that he came at that with. Speaker No. Quinny Like the the really nervous ****** ** energy and the like. The complete sort of. Unreliability of the character I was like ****, that’s a really good performance. I don’t like the guy. I don’t like him at all, but that’s cause it’s a really good performance. Speaker 8 Yeah. Jill Yeah, that’s true. Dion You know? Yeah. I mean, yeah, that was like, I mean, to be honest, halfway like by the time we got to that character, I didn’t know how they were going to make him scary because he is just a junkie. And they did do some pretty good, scary, scary scenes with that just really boring situation. Technically, when you look back at it after the jump scares and after everything has happened, you’re like ****. That was so tense. For something that was really boring. Quinny There is a sequence and I the possibly the sequence that the whole cinema reacted to the most. Speaker MHM. Quinny And. I don’t. It’s what I love about it and I’m not going to try and describe it because it it would be doing it a disservice to describe the sequence. But what I loved about it was that it was. Fear created almost purely through sound. Like there’s a visual element to it. Something that is this growing danger. Dion Yeah. Quinny But then the use of sound was the thing that made the whole audience go **** no. Like literally the guy behind me when you heard a particular sound that door open just went oh, no. Oh, no, no. Speaker Yeah. Quinny No. And I heard. Jill The dream sequence. Speaker 6 No, no, no. OK, it’s. Dion It’s this like this, like stalking sequence. Quinny In a car. Speaker 7 Ohh. Dion Yeah. Yeah, right. Speaker 7 Yep, Yep. Dion See this is this is what I’m talking about the the the ability to create tension based around very boring, very banal, very normal ****. Speaker 6 Mm-hmm. Dion In this is great. By doing you know great things. I was like, great. It’s gonna be in the middle of night. It’s like 2:00 AM. She’s creepy anyway. Yeah. And now we’re going to make this creepier by, you know, making it sound like there aren’t many sounds like you can hear things, but you don’t need to see it. Like, if you hear, don’t show. Quinny Yeah. Speaker 6 Hmm. Dion It can be very creepy and I like that too when there are inside certain other houses and they’re doing the low light stuff that you kind of do. Jill Not just sound, but like lack of sound. Dion And yeah, lack of sound is a great. A great way to do that. Jill I think one of my favorite sequences was the dream sequence of Josh Brolin’s character because it was shot from like first person perspective. So really felt like a dream. And because it was like, you know, semi dark and like the cameras turning as if like. A person is walking through a house and you know doors are opening, but you’re not seeing it because it’s as if you’re doing it. Was absolutely terrifying because there’s like. If anybody has ever had a nightmare where, like you can’t control what’s going on and you’re like, fighting with yourself to even accomplish something within the dream, it felt just like that and that. Was that was. Really incredible bit of movie making, I thought. Quinny And and the the every time you round a corner or whatever, you’re expecting something to. Be there to to, you know, wanna hurt you or whatever. Cause you know vaguely where what we’re kind of doing here. We’re in horror territory. Yeah, but. Dion Yeah, yeah. And on top of that, I also love the the interesting ability here to allow the audience to really use their imagination while they’re watching this because. Speaker 6 Mm-hmm. Dion Setting up a camera. Like we we had in the end of the trailer there or not at the end of the trailer, but like there’s scenes of like an open doorway, it’s pitch black. You can’t really see anything inside, but can you because your mind starts to fill things in? Speaker 8 Yeah, I know. Cause it felt. It’s exactly like nightmares that I have where you’re like you’re looking and you’re looking. And it’s like you’re trying to make out something and it’s like is that. Dion Exactly. Speaker 8 Something? Or is it just like? Dion Is it a shape? Is it a shape in the room or is it just your? Your chair group has come alive, or those those other ones, so I thought was really good, which is moving around the house and everything is normal and fine. But wait. Speaker Yeah, my God. Dion What is that like when you when your brain finally kicks in and goes, that’s not actually supposed to be there. That is not what you expect in that sort of thing. And you have to come back to it and you realize ****. Speaker 6 Mm-hmm. Dion That’s terrifying. Like, these are the successful things about it, which is why I really hated watching it. But I enjoyed the. **** out of. The movie, like it was just fun and it was really fun. It, like really, as I said, it was really fun taking quinny along. So I recommend someone take someone who hasn’t seen their **** before. Jill Hey. Dion Hey, sorry Jill. Jill Yay on the titz off scale. Dion Yes, titz off none left **** all gone flying everywhere. Jill None left. That’s a big fat 0 on. The **** off scale. Dion They, they they, they were like, you know, Shinkansen hanging out the window. ****, they’re just gone. Quinny Love that we both. Speaker 7 Had the same age. I love that they’re. Dion Connected though. I just thought that they’re like. Quinny Well, they connected for a while and then they go. Right. I I don’t know how many tips are off for me because I was scared titless. Speaker 8 Ah, well, there you go. That’s zero as well. Quinny Yeah. Speaker 7 Yeah, like. Jill I don’t know, just like in the last couple of movies that I’ve seen this month, I’ve just have not had. A reaction like I did. With this one MMM. Quinny Yeah. Yeah. Well, and and you, you come out of it with a very distinct sense of man. I’ve watched something. Yeah, like. You know, it wasn’t safe. It wasn’t normal. It it. It didn’t feel like just your average ******* horror. Like, oh, God. What was that movie we watched a couple of years back for? None. Like, based on The Conjuring thing. Speaker 8 Yeah. Jill Yeah. Quinny And it was just like, yeah, it’s a horror film. Yes. There’s a spooky nun. Cool. Like, in some ways, smile was a little bit like that, though I did find it was creepy as ****. But this, I don’t know, this was doing something different. This was really going into a different level of. Scary. Dion I I feel like collectively. Everyone was like in the film that I was sitting there going. And yes and. Everyone just kind of decided not to talk about it anymore, cause too many people died and it was too freaky. And I’m like, yes, kind of like barbarian. Kind of like weapons. We’ve watched it now and ****, you know, a lot of stuff happened and things are good, but like. Just collectively not gonna watch it again. Or not gonna talk about it because you’re still processing stuff about it. Umm. Yeah. Anyway, look. But also, you know, I can see why some people were unhappy with it. Quinny What? Where do you think? It didn’t work. Dion It’s interesting because, well, I don’t think it it’s. I can see how some people were a bit unhappy with it because they might have wanted to go more into the slasher horror kind of stuff at the end because I feel like there was the turn that happens and it goes into more explanations. You don’t really understand. Speaker Oh. Dion Exactly what’s going on, but came to me. It became more comedy and I was like ohh, I’m getting this now. You just have to go with it and you know the ending isn’t as satisfying. I think that some people were really after because it has no resolution for the characters. But. You know, I feel like after the tension of the 1st. Aaron, Aaron. A bit. I was like, I’m happy for it to just help me relieve the tension. Quinny Yeah. Dion Yeah. And also, you know, people could be sitting there going. Ohh, I didn’t. You know, everyone thought it was great, but I didn’t like it. Like, yeah, OK, I did. Speaker 6 Hmm. Dion It was fun. Quinny I’d I’d like predicate because thing I went in after hearing a ton of fat, and though I enjoyed it, I’m still firmly bitted. Dion Still, yeah, sure. Quinny Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like I can see why. So there is a massive tonal turn. Like. Yeah, and there’s a point where, like it goes. We’ve already talked about where it ramps up, the action, kind of the the like, the threat becomes a lot higher. Mm-hmm. But then there’s another point a little bit later on where it takes a fairly sharp left turn. Into what could be seen as comedy. Dion Yeah. Jill Yeah. I mean, I think it’s a comedic moment, but it kind of like washes all of the drama and the the evil away and kind of leaves you with. OK, this was a really ****** ** situation and you know a number of horrific things happened, but by the end of it, we’re all able. To walk away. Like and put the situation behind us and I think. If it hadn’t have ended, you know very finally like the way it did. Then it kind of leaves you open to explore that situation maybe happening again. So I think like, yeah, I think I feel like the comedic twist of the ending. Was to relieve all of the tension that we built throughout the whole movie. Quinny Absolutely now. Jill But to do it in a way that wasn’t necessarily with a scare. Quinny Yeah, though I I would say that they I felt like we started to get elements of comedy earlier. Ohh, OK. Like essentially when we’re introduced to one of the characters that we haven’t talked about that does. Kind of push the film into a different space. It goes from being kind of. Of. This uncertainty about what? Is happening too. Suddenly there is a. Focus for it. And the focus is. Or could be. Are let down 4 people and I. Yeah. So I had that that moment where I was like that’s that’s a weird ******* choice and I’m still creeped out. But yeah. Dion Should. Jill I I’ll stand by that choice because I think it was. It’s a good way to catch you unawares. Quinny Yeah, yeah, very true. Very, very. Dion True. So, Jill while. Try and find your **** to. Reattach them. Speaker Shouldn’t. Quinny Somewhere in the fields of Japan and all. Through the. Dion Quinnie, do you have a rating for for weapons? Speaker 7 Yeah. Quinny Oh yes, that’s a good question. OK, I’m going to go. Speaker 6 Adding. Quinny I was genuinely creeped out by most of the film, and I think it works. Incredibly well as a. Really. Proper, good, scary ******* horror. Your your mileage is going to vary as to whether or not the last bit like the the last. From a certain point onwards, works for you. For me, it did kind of make me go. Huh. But it still kept the tension pretty high. So yeah, that’s where I’m at. It’s 84. If you’ve got a number, drop it. Dion Jewel. Right. Quinny In that chat. I look for them. Dion I was going to go 85. Ah, but I’m not. I’m gonna go 86 because I like round math. So, dude, Jill, you could totally frustrate me but. Jill Even number. Dion Getting an odd number. Quinny That prick dangers jumped to 93, so **** you. Dion Yeah. Jill Well, then I’ll bring it back and. I’ll, I’ll go. For a 91 so that we can. Speaker 6 Oh ****. Jill Even it up. Dion All right. Jill We’re going to go 90, but because of the odd number, I’ll go 91 even it. Dion Yeah. Out again. Yeah, 86. I really. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was just, like, kind of watching barberry and like, what the **** is happening? But it’s really good. Can I recommend it to people? Yes, with, with, with ******* guard rails as in. You know, Peter didn’t come. That’s OK. She’s not going to see this. You know, she’s going to be like, Nope. Quinny Not the kind of thing that. Dion Beck’s gonna like. No, no, all of those kinds of things like it. It’s not for everyone. But I do think it’s great. So, yeah, that was my 86. And, Jill, you’ve already got not 91. Speaker No. Jill At 91, I I have a horror friend and I immediately went to her and said hey, I watched weapons and she said Ohh good, I’m going to go and see it on Friday. And then when she came back to me, she. Speaker 8 Said what the ****? That was so good. Jill Like that ending was So what the ****? And I’m like, yeah, but it was great. And like, yeah, we were just, like, dissecting, you know, the way that they built tension and all that kind of stuff and the pay offs were were all really good. I got to say the creative. Speaker 6 Yeah. Jill Format for the storytelling was was great. I thought that was very inventive for like a horror film. Yeah, the. Speaker 8 Anything that made me ******* scream, I’m like, yes. Big ticks so. Quinny Yeah, it takes a bit to actually get you to scream. I I heard you scream and I thought that wouldn’t have. Jill There were so many moments throughout the film where I actually had to stop eating and drinking because holding on to the chair and I’m like, crawling back into the chair, like with my arms crossed thinking Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God. And yeah, it it made me out loud scream, not just like shock. No, I screamed. And thank God it was like a loud. Tension release in the. Audio of the film as well to kind of cover up. The embarrassment of me screaming in a horror movie, but yeah. Dion And. I had the yeah. Jill Really thoroughly enjoyed. Speaker It. Dion I had The thing is like I I like weapons as a journey. Of a film. Like. Speaker 6 Hmm. Dion I don’t think that there’s like there’s no point talking about A twist or a turn or this thing and this other what the **** I’m like. I like the journey of the film. Yeah, I mean. Jill I feel like you don’t get to have all of this fun in the end of the movie if you don’t put in the work at the start of getting through the build up. Dion Yeah. And by chopping it up and following. Quinny Yeah, you’ve gotta get to know the characters. Dion Yeah. And chopping up and following people with different experiencing not the same time from a different perspective, but also like different times at different perspectives. Once you understood the establishment of the character. Jill Yeah, but you kind of start to get little other pieces in within these people stories so that you can, like, try to build what’s happening before it’s just revealed to you in the movie. So like you as an audience are actually doing work in the film. Dion Yeah. Speaker 6 Hmm. Quinny Too. I like that. I really like the feeling that it was showing me things. But I wasn’t. Being spoon fed them exactly and there are certain things that they showed and implied, but never actually said. So you have to make the assumption that that character did that. They may not have, but did fairly heavily implied. I live with that. I love being asked as an audience to put a little bit of thought in. Speaker 6 Yeah. MHM. Dion Crazy concept. Look, Speaking of James, I actually have a James Heavy trailer for this. Just goes on about that. We’ll do that and then come back and try not to spoil, but still talk about. Speaker 7 Oh, OK. Dion It a bit more depth, OK. Speaker I’m calling about the $50,000 reward. For information about the missing kids. Because I know. Where they are. Filter. Help me. Help me. Come on. Please help me. Dion Oh yes, we. Yeah, that was James. He was the the junkie, and he had tent and a very bad experience in a tent. Jill Sure. Just sure, we’ve all had a bad experience in the tent. Quinny Yeah, yeah. Mine was really intense. Dion Ohh George yes, and thankfully for people who haven’t seen it. And you’re like, no. Speaker ah Jill You up for that one? Dion Thank you. I’m like, yeah, yeah, but. It’s a really it’s. It’s so good how it makes you go. ****. I don’t wanna know about that, but it gives you an understanding back when you like, I feel like. Having watched it and then you look at all of the tents and and spooky scenes that were through earlier in the movie, you’re like, ohh, that’s not that spooky when you really think about it. It was our own imagination making it spookier than we thought. But again, of course no like. Speaker 7 No, sure. Quinny Like it’s scary. Dion Yeah. Quinny It’s it’s interesting, I think I said to you guys afterwards, I I thought we were going perhaps to go in a different direction with it. So there’s a there’s a Stephen King short story that I love super short, like, only like 5 or 6 pages or something like that called suffer the little children. It’s in one of his short story collections and it’s about a teacher. Who starts seeing out of the corner of their eyes their their primary school kids? As like little demons like you know that they’re they’re wrong. They’re twisted. There’s something ****** ** about them, but only out of the corner of their eyes. So when they turn and look at them. Jill Ohh, I see kids like that all the time. Quinny Yeah. So that’s just being a teacher. But then, yeah, one day teacher goes and 1 by 1 calls all the kids at her office. Cool. Yeah. And I thought maybe we were going to go into that direction and I was like, because that’s one. Of my favorite stories, but it’s still ****** **. Dion Yeah, the welcome to. The thing about the unreliable like characters that we’re we’re following here and like I think yes, Karina, I’m not. I don’t want to talk about the spoiler of the twists, that of why is it like, why is this all happening? Mainly because I don’t think it’s it. It doesn’t do anything to give you. A reason to go see the movie. Speaker 6 Hmm. Dion I’d rather talk around it and let people go and see it and say, hey, did you like that? Cause it’s ****** **, isn’t it? Like I don’t really. Jill Yeah, like, don’t be like my mother who told me that. Bruce Willis was dead the whole time, so that I don’t even bother to watch 6th sense. Yeah. And to this day have not watched it. Dion You know, Jill, I gotta say I’m. I’m. I’m with you on that because it was spoil. It was spoiled for me in the break room at at a work thing. And I was like, ohh. And they’re like, oh, you haven’t seen I’m like, no, because it came out yesterday. Jill What’s the point? There. Yeah. Thanks. Speaker 6 Thanks. Quinny Yeah, yeah, I remember. Dion So I’ve never actually watched it. Quinny Trying to watch like Battlestar Galactica, the the 2000 series, and then somebody said to me, oh, I can’t believe that such and such and such and such and such for the final styles. And I was like. What the ****? And they’re like, ohh. It’s a joke. And I’m like you weren’t ******* joking. Dion Thanks. Quinny That’s cool. Well, I got to interview them this ******* weekend. So great. Dion Well, look, the the I think the the the non spoilery things I can say about it is that I was disappointed with. Was that the whole mystery is all about the kids. All right. Speaker 6 Dion And then you really don’t get a good resolution with the kids. Jill Yeah. Dion And it’s just a little bit you, you, I understand why they did the things that they did, but there isn’t. There isn’t a great resolution really. Jill Yeah, I feel like you don’t always have to have that in a film. Speaker 7 No, and there is something. Jill It’s like we said, like it was. It was really. The journey of the movie that was the reward. Dion I got to say by the end of it, like the the kid who plays Alex, Carrie Christopher, he like I didn’t give a **** about. Jill Gorgeous little kid. Dion I yeah, I I was really disappointed with that kid right up until towards the end. And then I’m like ohh, that that kid did a really ******* good. Like having to do with a lot of adult themes and adult concepts by the end. And you’re like, holy ****, that kid is either gonna be a freaking St. or the devil. Quinny And I do like that whilst it’s avoiding tropes all over the place, you know, and it’s doing everything it can to try and not be the obvious or whatever you do still end up in a haunted house in a way. And you know it, it’s becomes. Speaker 6 Yeah. Jill Yeah, with your don’t go in the basement moment. Quinny I know you. You’ve got 100%, you’ll do not go in the basement moment. And I was like, yeah, cool. We’re we’re. You know, we’re hitting on those things because I do think there is something like really archetypal about certain ideas and horror concepts. And being chased around your own house. Is terrifying, and people that you know not being themselves is terrifying. Yeah, yeah. Dion You know, and now you’ll never look at a kid in a playground running like that with their arms out. Being a plane without going whoop. Quinny Have you ever Naruto run? Dion Didn’t you? You asked that question. Jill God, I I. Have dignity. Quinny I asked it off microphone. Jill I have dignity I. Quinny Thank you. Jill Run. Quinny I have seen so many people Naruto run around conventions. Jill I bet you. Quinny Have you know I’ve seen so many *******. Jill Yes. Yeah, they don’t do it ironically either. Quinny You. This. No. And I just wonder, I I I look at this and I was like, was that intentional? Did they know that they were doing that? Oh, isn’t it? No, no. Jill This is not a Naruto. Arm is like the arms have to be out back behind you, yeah. Dion Out. Yeah, they’re gonna be. Quinny Ohh. OK, right. Sorry, right, right. Just like. Jill This was like. Dion Yeah, this is just. Jill Just to the side. Dion Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sort of straight down kind of thing, but I mean don’t take anything you see on anime and try and replicate it and realise you’ll just hurt yourself. Quinny Yeah. Or someone. Dion Else. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all parties. Quinny Teapots. Right. OK, yeah. Dion Fair enough. Kind of planking. If only they were yelling, skippity rears when they ran around. Quinny Yeah, like there are. There are so many really good, very quick jump scares. Like, you know, there are there’s moments in a bed, there’s moments, you know, all over the place where you just like, really good. Momentary jump skis, but it also does that very clever thing of going we’re building up to a a jump scare and then we’re going to give you something that isn’t the jump scare. But. That can be really obvious. Like we all know that if you’re gonna build up to a jump scare, you’re not gonna give us the jump scare. You’re gonna add in a a thing. This one I was like actually that were pretty good. Like they weren’t fake outs or anything. These felt like something that still maintained the tension. Speaker See. Dion See, I really wish we’d had been able to arrange it earlier for you to have seen, barbarian. I get before this. Speaker 6 One going on about barbaric. Jill We keep talking about it. We keep talking about it, but only. Dion Like. Jill For a very good. Speaker 7 Reason. OK so so. Dion I warn you, I. Don’t you, Connie? It’s not a fun watch. I’m not recommending this to you because I think you’re gonna have a good time. I’m recommending it for you because all of the tense and scary things that you kind of felt from weapons, you’re going to get in barbarian again. Quinny OK so. Can you give me a like give me a vague synopsis of what barbarian is about. Dion It’s about the dangers of Airbnb. Jill Yeah. Quinny Oh, right. Dion Sounds boring, huh? Definitely not. Jill Yeah, but Justin Long is in it, but. And he’s the red herring. Speaker 6 Eh. Quinny Right, so This is why you were all very excited when. He showed up in this. Jill Yeah. We’re Justin long shows up in a horror movie. Yeah, right. Dion As the thing like. It’s it’s done it it, it does a little bit of vignette things where it sort of takes the the two things it’s like it’s following Justin Long and it’s following another character. And they’re both standing at the same Airbnb and then it’s following one. Jill Yeah, there’s like, a really good fake out in the beginning because you’re like, ohh, this is very much going to be this thing and then it’s not. And then you’re like, but wait, what the **** is actually happening? Dion Yeah. Yeah, it’s like. Yeah. And by the time you find out what the **** is actually happening, you’re like. What the **** is happening? Jill Yeah. And you’re like, why and why and why? Dion No, no. And then it. Speaker Speaker 6 Yeah. Dion Just turns out it was just really, really ******* creepy. Speaker Yeah. Dion Yeah. Anyway, but it is more. It is more your traditional horror. Speaker 6 Yeah. Dion You know. Quinny Right cause I I looked at that and I thought it sounded a bit more like the torture pointy kind of things like. Speaker 6 This. Jill Body horror elements in it, that’s for sure. Dion There’s a little bit of torture **** because I’ve gotta also say there was just that thing of like, I don’t want to be in that situation and it’s a bit too graphic for me. Yeah, but you don’t like, you know, it’s. It’s just a good. It was the start of the way of building tension and and confusing you by going. We’re going to present you with a thing that says you’re going down this road, but it’s just going to kind of keep going. And then it’s actually like, wait. I was on on a road at all. I was actually on a lake. How did I get in this lake? And I’m not in a boat. What is going on? Quinny Sorry, I just I wanted to look up torture **** films cause I’m trying to think of it and particular one. Jill What kind of results did you? Quinny Just get well. Yeah, it was not a. Good time hostel. That was the one that I was trying. To. Find the name of hostel and hostel too. Speaker 6 Yeah. Quinny But I love it. Jill Ohh, not not hostile you’re saying hostel? Quinny Hostile. Sorry. Yeah. Like that was one of those ones where it’s just like, you know, bad things happen to people. Human centipede, that kind of thing, bad things happened to people. It’s about the the torture. Speaker Oh. Jill Yeah, yeah. Quinny Salo. 120 days of sort. Sort of I was. I’m looking down this list, and I’m like, oh, yeah, I remember that when I run into that one. Yeah. Yeah. OK. And then I get. Justin Bieber never say never like. Well done to whoever ******* wrote that. Jill Well done. Quinny List because that was. Comic timing, like you wouldn’t believe. Speaker Ohh dear look. Dion There’s, you know, like, weapons isn’t a perfect film. There are some beats, I think didn’t quite. Planned and some decisions, as you said like it it goes a bit strange in the end. You’re like you’re going to go with it or you’re just going to be like oh. Speaker 6 Hmm. Dion That’s sure that’s. Stupid. It’s like, no, I was. Yeah. No, I was 100% there for it too. Quinny I I yeah, I actually thought and I said to a couple of people, I thought it let off the the accelerator a little bit when they introduced the. Dion The reason? Quinny The reason? Yeah, like the to me when we started to get a few answers as to what was causing this, I felt like the tension ratcheted down a little bit. Dion Yep. I feel like they’ve they’ve followed that through with the comedy though, but they did ramp back the they did get back to the tension as they try to resolve everything as you get to the resolution. Speaker 6 Hmm. Dion You’re wrapping. You’re ramping that sort of thing up again. Yeah. I thought they did it quite well. And, you know, the the end of it was. Fun. Jill I think it’s just like we’re going to blow off all. Of the steam that. Yeah, you know. Yeah. Of this movie? Yeah. And we’re going to do it in a comedic way, just to kind of like, yeah, that all out, you know. Dion Yeah. I mean, I feel like by the end of it, the audience was all kind of like, oh, ****, that was weird and ****, and I don’t know, but it was much more. Or interesting to to see that whole audience who had who had. Spent. You know good hour and a half tense as ****, absolutely sitting there going. What the **** is happening? I don’t want to be in this audience or thankfully, we’re all experiencing this together to then have a bit of a OK, well, OK, ****. OK. What was that all about? And I love confusing a confused audience. Not a confused. Speaker 6 Hmm. Dion Audience like why was Ice cube in an ad for Amazon for 80 minutes? But more like that. Was that good like I had that the thing when at the end of it I was like, is that was that a good movie? Speaker 6 Yeah. Quinny And I think people will take away from it what they what they will, you know, they’ll they’ll either enjoy bits of it or they want or they’ll find that some of it worked for them and some. Of it didn’t. Yeah, but. It’s done very well. That’s something that I do, you know, I’m happy to report that it’s. Done a lot better than most of the other films were released this weekend. Jill Quinny Like based on its budget and everything, it’s kicked the **** out of a couple of much bigger films. Jill Good for. Quinny Them. Yeah, one of them being freakier Friday. Dion Look, I’m. I’m. Jill The Disney cash grab. Dion I’m happy that Zach Cregger, you know, survived the bidding war for weapons. Speaker 6 Yes. Dion And that Jordan Peele fired a couple of people over not getting it. Jill Ohh, Jordan Peele movie coming out soon. Him. Dion Oh yeah. Yeah. Yes, but he was. Yeah, he was trying like Jordan Peele was trying to get Zach Craig as, Umm, spec script for his production company and did not get it. And then fired two of his management people for not getting it. OK. And I’m like, OK, but the really interesting thing I think for the next project that has been announced for this director is the Resident Evil reboot. Oh ****. And he’s writing directing. It. Ohh so it was like OK. Interesting. Yeah. Hmm. I mean, you never like a franchise with an established fan base, and many temps is fraught with peril. Yeah, absolutely. Speaker Yes. Jill But it means we don’t have to see *******. Milla Jovovich wheeled out again. Dion You’d leave Miller alone. She’s the supreme being. Quinny I mean. I love that they even attempted another reboot a few years ago and just nobody paid any attention to. Dion It. Yeah, I love that even one of them was a 3D1, which was like, you know, your franchise is in trouble when you’ve gone through an era of 3D coming and going again. Like jaws, jaws through the return jaws, three Jaws 3D. Like what the ****? Speaker 6 Hmm. Dion Anyway. Quinny Trying to remember what that ******* ohh yeah. Resident Evil. Welcome to Raccoon City, you know? Yeah, the one that nobody paid any attention to at. All. But it mean. Dion Yeah, you know, look had no Miller in. Quinny It. Dion It’s. Quinny Oh well, look, I’m. I’m keen to see what he does next. Absolutely. And if he can make Resident Evil work? Cause like to me, I think that’s that’s not actually it shouldn’t be that hard. Like resident evil’s. Jill Yeah, it’s really not. It’s such a straightforward premise. Quinny Yeah, if you do a good solid zombie film and you use the characters that are in the in the games, it’s not that hard. I would ******* love to see this guy have a go at Silent Hill. Jill Yeah, that could have been. Quinny Like. Jill Silent Hill would have been better than Resident Evil. For this guy. Quinny Yeah, I think he’s his. Disturbing. Jill Because this guy is like, so good at, like, suburban. Dystopia. Quinny Yeah. Jill So I think like silent. Hill would be perfect for. Quinny Him absolutely. Dion Is am I the only one who didn’t mind the Silent Hill film that came out with rider? Mitchell, like I thought it was alright. Quinny No, I quite liked it. If the. Dion Freaky and the and the Borg Queen as the evil witch woman. Speaker 6 Yeah. Quinny That was another one where I was like, OK, it it started really well, did some really good creepy stuff and then ended poorly. But yeah, I quite like that. Speaker Sure. Dion I mean, I’ve I I’m I I think with in return in in the idea of Zach Gregor. I’m kind of like just let him cook. Don’t give him a franchise. Don’t let him don’t make him do other **** just like no let him do his stories he’s doing quite well at the moment. Jill Yeah. Dion Of just. That’s true. Going barbarian? Yeah, that’s a good one. Weapons pretty good. You know what’s the next one? And I don’t pitch quinnie. Go for him and say, like, can you make a the same horror film, but everything you shot during the? Hi. Quinny I would love to see somebody ever go. On. It I haven’t watched Midsummer so. Dion Really. Quinny Yeah. Dion It answers the question who would you like? Would you prefer a bear or a man? Speaker 8 Yes. Dion In the wheel. Quinny I don’t know because I always looked at that and I thought it looked a little bit, Wicker Manish, but now I’m completely confused as. To what that may actually be that. Dion Yes, but it’s a woman, so it’s a Wicker woman. Quinny Ohh. Dion Sorry, there are no. Ease. Quinny Good, because they weren’t me in the ******* original. Dion Film No, but there was in the Nick Cage one. Quinny Don’t don’t say it. Speaker 7 Not. Why would you mention? ******* ohh. You broke my legs. Dion It’s very bad, it’s.

This week in history: the first edition of Roget's Thesaurus is published, and a tweak to the harpsichord becomes the world's first piano. The post History Matters: History, The Past, The Old Days, Once Upon A Time appeared first on Chapelboro.com.
Curated by Enrico Fink, Shirat Hayam: The Song of the Sea (Centro Primo Levi, 2023) inaugurates the Erna Finci Viterbi Chàzanut Roundtable, a workshop and program series on Italian Jewish music and liturgy established by Centro Primo Levi in memory of a dear friend and board member whose love for tradition and dedication to learning have profoundly contributed to shape the center's principles. This project aims at facilitating new recordings of Italian and Mediterranean cantorial music and circulating the existing ones. Publications, recordings and essays collected for this program are available through the Online Thesaurus of Italian Jewish Music (www.jewishitalianmusic.org) designed to provide tools to those interested in learning, practicing or simply enjoying this art, including scholars, musicians, cantors and bar/bat-mitzvà students wishing to include some of this beautiful music in their liturgical repertoire. The Thesaurus was created by Centro Leo Levi in collaboration with Centro Primo Levi, and the generous contribution of the Viterbi family of San Diego. It is being developed in collaboration with the Jewish Music Research Center of the University of Jerusalem and in partnership with the National Library of Israel, CDEC, and the Fondazione Beni Culturali Ebraici Italiani. Sharing and participating were among Erna's most cherished values and she regarded them as an indispensable foundation of human relations and endeavors. For centuries, partaking in the communal prayer through the knowledge of its musical canons and variations has been an essential component of Jewish life. The repertoires that flourished in small communities throughout the Mediterranean reflect trade, travels and exchanges and resulted in a tapestry of sounds that, still preserved within local communities, can become an inspiration outside of their native environment.

Woke up early this morning as I not only was looking forward to a good cup of coffee to start my day off with, but I was also feeling a little bit worried about things, feeling anxious too. I'm trying to take those things on with more meditation / prayer, along with “doing something” instead of worrying & feeling anxiety. So, I was compelled to get up and do some reading and reflecting. Early mornings are always a joy to me to start my day off in a great direction. Picked up my copy of “Arete” - where this book, written by Brian Johnson, helps me to find and activate my heroic potential. Also, a big shout out to Chris Tessmar who recently sent me a note, thanking me for recommending this book on my show. Sounds like he picked up a copy and he is making some great connections with the lessons found in it. This section today from pages 293 & 294, is all about the comparison between Mediocrity vs. Excellence. A big thing that I found out were all the synonyms for Mediocrity. There are many such as unremarkable, lackluster, unexciting, just to name a few. But Brian noted that from the Thesaurus he was using there was only ONE antonym for it. That word was Excellent! It's a great reminder that by just simply trying to do our best, putting in a little bit of effort, we can be a bit above mediocrity. Doing this every day of our lives is something special and it's just between you and the person you see in the mirror. This reminder was what I woke up this morning looking to be reminded of. Hope this helps you any time of the day when you come across this episode. Go out and be your heroic best today and every day!! Oh... before I forget, HERE is the link from the Brian Buffini podcast where he interviews Derek Daly... Awesome & powerful lessons found in this show too. Thanks for listening.

What is Beatle-esque? Webster's Dictionary has no entry for the term. Nor does Punky Brewster's Dictionary or Boner's Thesaurus. Historians have speculated, scholars have debated, and Beatle sniffers have sniffed for a little too long, yet no one knows for certain. So this week our listeners help define the phrase with their own submissions of non-Beatles songs that evoke the Fab Four, aka Beatle-esque Bangers. T.J. and Tony also offer a couple of their own bangers (a la carte, sans mash)…with lively controversial results. Will be fab! Along the way, the Nerk Nerds ponder:
