Hurricane Melissa is set to pummel Jamaica as a catastrophic Category 5 storm, the strongest to lash Jamaica since recordkeeping began 174 years ago. Forecasters said the storm is expected to make landfall early Tuesday and slice diagonally across the island, entering near St. Elizabeth parish in the south and exiting around St. Ann parish in the north. Hours before the storm, the government said it had done all it could to prepare as it warned of catastrophic damage. Prime Minister Andrew Holness said, “There is no infrastructure in the region that can withstand a Category 5. The question now is the speed of recovery. That's the challenge.”  In this episode, we speak with Tuff Like Iron, a reggae artist from Kingston, Jamaica and is currently visiting California. She also works with the Constitutional Reform Committee in Jamaica doing community support work.

Once again, I want to give you a little update on the slang words that are trending in today's world of children and teens. I do this as a service so that you can overcome your chronic parental ignorance in order to understand your kids, and even use these words yourself in a fun-loving effort to embarrass your kids! The word Aura refers to someone's cool level. At times kids will give aura points to someone who has shown a high level of cool. If someone has crashed out they have lost their temper. Kids are glazing when they engage in overrating or hyping something up too much. Tuff, spelled T-U-F-F, is a synonym for awesome or excellent. The words bussin and smacks are often used to describe food that is very good. And if you are wondering how to refer to something that's good rather than bad, well, throw baddie, straight fire, or gas into the conversation. I know, it all sounds very confusing, but just like we did during our teen years, our kids are inventing and using slang.

We sit down with the filmmakers behind the indie horror feature Dream Eater—Jay Drakulic, Mallory Drumm, and Alex Lee Williams—to break down how they turned weather limitations into creative fuel. Shot in just nine days on a modest budget high in the snowy mountains of Quebec, Dream Eater pushes the boundaries of DIY horror.The team shares how they used the weather, location, and constraints to their advantage—filming in sequence, capturing real sound on site, and turning production challenges into storytelling opportunities. They also discuss directing while acting, editing on the fly, and how tight collaboration kept morale high when conditions turned brutal. Executive Producer Eli Roth explains why the film stood out, how its ending evolved, and what it teaches about creative vision under pressure.Few films show the power of planning and adaptability like Dream Eater.

We sit down with filmmaker Elliott Hasler about the making of Vindication Swim, a period sports drama inspired by Mercedes Gleitze—the first British woman to swim the English Channel in 1927. Shot over three years entirely in open water, the film demanded extraordinary perseverance from its cast and crew, with lead actor Kirsten Callaghan performing all her own swims and no visual effects or body doubles in sight.Elliott shares how the team navigated unpredictable tides, safety challenges, and a micro-budget while maintaining historical authenticity and cinematic scale. From coordinating small, agile crews to rebuilding the film's entire soundscape in post, Vindication Swim became a testament in indie filmmaking ingenuity. Despite its modest resources, the film went on to play in over 300 cinemas for 18 weeks and break into the UK box office top 20.Elliott reflects on the resilience, creativity, and community spirit that powered the project—and how telling real stories of perseverance mirrors his own journey as a filmmaker. Vindication Swim opens in New York City on October 17, followed by select U.S. screenings and a digital release in November.About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

We sit down once again with Will French from Fallbrook Financial Services, a pioneering figure in film tax credits and global production finance. Will has overseen hundreds of projects and is widely regarded as a thought leader in the intersection of film, policy, and economics. During the last conversation, we laid important groundwork on international incentives, tariffs, and the cost structures shaping production worldwide. This time, the stakes are even higher as the film industry faces an unprecedented policy debate.With President Trump's former announcement of a proposed 100% tariff on all foreign-made films distributed in the U.S., Cameron and Will dive into the legality, feasibility, and far-reaching consequences of such a move. Will explains how tariffs typically function in manufacturing sectors and why film—largely a digital export industry—presents unique enforcement challenges. He walks listeners through the ripple effects tariffs could trigger, from reciprocal taxes by foreign governments to the potential hollowing out of one of America's strongest export industries.The discussion also explores the economic realities driving production overseas, including the rising cost of domestic labor following recent guild strikes and the powerful pull of international tax incentives. Will highlights the vulnerabilities of the U.S. model and sketches out a potential path forward—arguing for a federal incentive program that could complement state-level tax credits and help retain production jobs at home. By comparing U.S. policy gaps with systems in Canada and Australia, he demonstrates what a practical, enforceable approach might look like.This is a conversation about more than just tariffs. It's about the future of American filmmaking, cultural export, and the global chessboard of film finance. Join us for an insightful, nonpartisan discussion that pulls back the curtain on how policy decisions made in Washington could reverberate through studios, streaming platforms, and sets across the world.About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

We dive into the gritty and electrifying world of independent horror filmmaking with director and producer Joe Begos. Known for his visually arresting style and commitment to practical, in-camera effects, Joe shares the unfiltered story of how he built a career outside the traditional studio system.Joe walks us through his unconventional path, from early childhood fascination with horror to the decision to skip film school and make movies the hard way. He recounts the experience of making his first feature on credit cards and pure hustle to create a film that landed on a major festival stage and launched his career. That same DIY ethos carried through to his next projects, where he refined his skills not just as a director, but as a producer, cinematographer, and even editor, learning every part of the process.Throughout the conversation, Joe opens up about the evolving challenges of staying independent while growing as an artist. From raising money and managing crew to navigating creative control and working within tight budgets, he offers an honest look at what it takes to keep your vision intact in a collaborative—and often unpredictable—industry. He shares how each film pushed him to learn something new, and how embracing limitations often led to his most creative breakthroughs.We also explore Joe's latest film, Jimmy and Stiggs, a deeply personal project built almost entirely in his apartment over four years. What began as a response to the creative paralysis of the pandemic became a full-fledged feature, and now slated for a wide theatrical release through a major new distribution label.

We sit down with Emmy-winning TV producer Clara Plestis, whose work as an executive at Smart Dog Media, helped redefine what family-friendly television can be. Clara has been instrumental in shaping formats that blend high-concept experimentation with broad appeal, from AI-powered dating shows to variety competitions. Her work demonstrates that entertainment aimed at mass audiences doesn't have to be safe or predictable—it can be surprising, ambitious, and culturally resonant.Clara walks us through the creative decisions behind Song vs. Dance, a Japanese-American co-production that combines performance, gaming, and visual flair into a highly original competition format. She also opens up about the bold choices behind Love by AI, a provocative dating experiment that hands matchmaking—and even the date experience itself—over to artificial intelligence. Through these shows, Clara reveals what it really takes to push fresh concepts through the development process: a deep understanding of global markets, strong format discipline, and the confidence to take calculated risks.Join us for a deep dive into Clara's process and what she sees on the horizon for television development.About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

W sit down with Hugh Calveley, founder of Flow Capture (formerly Moxion), to discuss how a personal frustration on set evolved into a powerful cloud-based collaboration platform. From his early days as part of a film crew in New Zealand to building a production tool trusted by industry giants like Amazon Studios, Hugh shares the hard lessons of introducing new technology to an industry known for its time-honored methods–until a bold leap of faith from producer Barrie Osborne helped launch his platform onto major studio productions.We dive into the design and engineering choices that make Flow Capture stand out— microservices and real-time parallel processing that enabled lightning-fast workflows and personalized viewing formats.He also debunks myths around cloud security, arguing that centralized, enterprise-grade encryption is far safer than scattered, poorly protected assets.Looking ahead, Hugh paints an inspiring picture of AI's role in production—from intelligently breaking down scripts to unlocking vast archives of reusable footage—he offers a glimpse into a future where production is faster, smarter, and more creative than ever before.To learn more about Flow Capture, visit: https://www.autodesk.com/ca-en/products/flow-capture/overviewAbout WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

Chad sits down with Tuff Hedeman, a living legend, world champion, and one of the most recognizable names in the world of bull riding. If you're not winning in today's arena, it's not the bulls' fault. These animals are top-tier, consistent, and ferocious. The difference? The riders.. and Tuff's here to tell you why. Chad and Tuff dive deep into his career, legacy, and the fearless mindset it takes to keep getting back on a 1,800-pound beast that's actively trying to throw you. But even with all the technology in simulation gear and training equipment, Tuff says nothing replaces the real thing. Problem is, the real thing can kill you, and Tuff has seen it happen right in front of his eyes. Every single ride is a dangerous one. This episode isn't just for rodeo fans. It's for anyone chasing greatness, staring down fear, or trying to understand what makes someone keep climbing back on when the stakes are life or death.
