In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing CRAZY RICH ASIANS (2018), from screenwriters Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim, from the best selling novel by Kevin Kwan, the film is directed by Jon M. Chu.  Native New Yorker Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) accompanies her longtime boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), to his best friend's wedding in Singapore, only to discover that he comes from one of the wealthiest and most influential families in Asia.  Thrust into a world of opulence and high-stakes social maneuvering, Rachel finds herself the target of jealous socialites and Nick's formidable, disapproving mother, Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh) who believes she is not a suitable match for the family heir.  As she attempts to navigate this unfamiliar and judgmental environment, Rachel must decide if her love for Nick is worth the challenge of defying the strict expectations of his elite heritage.  The film clocks in at 2 h, is rated PG-13 and we caught it on HBO Max.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#CrazyRichAsians #KevinKwan #AdeleLim #PeterChiarelli #JonMChu #ConstanceWu #Rachel #HenryGolding #Nick #MichelleYeoh #Eleanor #GemmaChan #Astrid #LisaLu #AhMa #Awkwafina #PeikLinGoh #HarryShumJr  #Charlie #KenJeong #WyeMunGoh #SonoyaMizuno #AramintaLee #ChrisPang #Colin #JimmyOYang #Bernard #RonnyChieng #Eddie #RemyHii #Alistair #NicoSantos #Oliver #JingLusi #Amanda #CarmenSoo #Francesca #PierrePng #Michael #FionaXie #Kitty #VictoriaLoke #Fiona #JaniceKoh #Felicity #AmyCheng #Jacqueline #ChiengMunKoh #Neenah #CalvinWong #PT #KhengHuaTan #Kerry #ConstanceLau #Celine #SelenaTan #Alix #RomanticComedy #Comedy #Drama #Romance #AAPI #AsianAmerican #PacificIslanders #AsianStories  @HBOMax  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

Forgotten history, political complexity, storytelling, and the strange ways oil, empire, and ideology have shaped the modern world. In episode 177, I sit down with bestselling author Douglas Brunt to discuss The Lost Empire of Emanuel Nobel, a sweeping narrative history about oil, revolution, and the forgotten Nobel heir who helped power the war machine. Doug shares how Emanuel Nobel's story emerged from his previous book on Rudolf Diesel, why the Russian Nobel family was effectively erased from history, and how Emanuel's oil empire collided with the rise of Stalin, Lenin, the Bolsheviks, and the violent upheaval of the Russian Revolution. Our conversation explores how narrative nonfiction can make history feel alive, why history is often more complicated than textbooks suggest, and how massive global shifts are experienced by real people on the ground. We also dig into the craft of writing: research rabbit holes, index cards, archival discoveries, footnotes, building narrative momentum, and the challenge of turning dense historical material into a story with real forward thrust.

If you follow West Virginia Mountaineers football football, you know the name Scotty Fox Jr. — but do you really know the quarterback behind the headlines? In this episode, the “Guys” sit down with Fox for an honest, insightful and surprisingly funny conversation about the whirlwind that became his freshman season. Thrust into action before most expected, the Mentor, Ohio native responded by throwing for 300-plus yards twice and becoming the first true freshman quarterback to start for the Mountaineers in more than 70 years. Fox opens up about the pressure of leading a Power Four program as a teenager, the lessons learned during his baptism-by-fire debut season and the mindset he's carrying into year two. From film study and confidence to leadership and locker room chemistry, the “Guys” peel back the curtain on one of the most intriguing young players in the Big 12. It's a revealing look at the player Mountaineer fans have watched — and the person they're just beginning to know.

"The Chronology of Water story was an 11-page story written in tiny fragments. And the MFA program I was in, they told me, that's not a story. It's a poem or something. It's a list of fragments. I'm like, 'Fuck you!' My whole enterprise has been to trouble the edges," says Lidia Yuknavitch, bestselling author of several books, most recently a memoir titled Reading the Waves.Lidia Yuknavitch makes her thrilling return to the podcast, this a live recording of the show at Gratitude Brewing in Eugene in partnership with the revival of the Northwest Review. My understanding is that there's a significant literary prize, including creative nonfiction essays. You might want to try you filthy animals. The Northwest Review was the first place that ever published Lidia, a short, 11-page story called the Chronology of Water, so, maybe YOU could be the next Lidia Yuknavitch, though we know that's impossible so don't even try.She's the author of eight books of fiction, nonfiction, and the editor of an essay collection on menopause called The Big M. She's best known for her memoir, or anti-memoir called The Chronology of Water, the novels Thrust, Verge, and The Small Backs of Children. And her most recent nonlinear, fractured memoir is the brilliant Reading the Waves.She won the Oregon Book Award in 2016 and also stood on the TED stage and delivered a beautiful talk about misfits. Her work has appeared in Guernica, Ms., and Another Chicago Magazine. She founded the workshop series Corporeal Writing in Portland, Oregon. She is a very good swimmer.We talk about: Getting rid of the good/bad binary Writing in a group setting Inventing your own rituals The beautiful and the brutal living next to each other Taking your turn Troubling the edges Being good compost And how her market days are over and she's cool with thatYou'll want to pair this episode with 217, Lidia's first time as well as: Episode 447: Brooke Champagne Sits Back from the Suckitude Episode 498: Sasha Bonet on Not Holding Back, and Episode 123: Elena Passarello on Listening to the book, Polaroids, and Self-DoubtDig it, friend.Order The Front RunnerWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com

Episode Summary: This week we're talking about space launch. 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of liquid-fueled rockets, when Dr. Robert Goddard successfully pioneered the first launch from his aunt's farm in Auburn, MA. Like the Wright Brothers before him, Goddard's breakthrough opened the door to a new domain and the exploration, operations, and economic development that have evolved ever since. Mitchell Institute experts and John Reed, the Chief Rocket Scientist at United Launch Alliance, discuss this milestone event, launch advancements over the past 100 years, the future of this technology, and why it all matters. Note regarding ISP: Isp or “Specific Impulse”, as we talked about, is a measure of a rocket efficiency. It is calculated as the Thrust force divided by the product of the mass flowrate of propellants times the gravitational acceleration in a 1 g field - (F/(mdot * g0). If we think about force in Newtons second law, with F=ma, we can see that we have mass divided by flowrate (or mass/sec) and acceleration divided by acceleration. These units resolve to what we term seconds of impulse. As we discussed, the acceleration of the fuel is a function of the exhaust velocity of the combustion products. This efficiency is driven by the combustion chamber design and chemical process as well as the nozzle design. These elements were all developed for rockets by Robert Goddard in his laboratory and field demonstrations.

Today we'll talk about thrust and drag, the components of momentum. Momentum is the lifeblood for startups, but most people leave it to chance. By focusing on the inputs of momentum - thrust and drag - you can build systems to ensure you keep moving forward. Gaps kill startups. This system removes them.   Byldd Tacklebox Song where Taylor Swift burns Jake Gyllenhall

Why abandoning linear plot doesn't mean abandoning form, and how the natural world is full of story shapes waiting to be borrowed. What Virginia Woolf's line about arranging the pieces taught one writer about nonlinear structure and letting go of chronology. Why telling your ego to go eat a sandwich might be the first step toward trusting your creative intuition. How a writing community built on generative response instead of critique can change what's possible on the page. The difference between prompts and portals, and why a small language shift can transform how you approach a draft.
