The former Hollywood actor recounts a role from the 1960's era show "Twelve O'Clock High," in which he played a fighter pilot who was shot down in a bomber and killed two days before Christmas.

Welcome to a special edition of the School of Thought Podcast! This is our first ever edition of School of Thought Goes To The Movies, where we use our favorite movies to explore the world of education. Today we’re talking about Twelve O’Clock High, a WWII movie made in 1949 that explores the difficulties of leadership. It stars Gregory Peck and won two Academy Awards. This movie has been shown to soldiers and sailors in officer training school to develop them for the challenges of leadership.  We’ll discuss the ways in which leaders can get too close to the people they lead, how to turn around a place with a toxic culture, and how these leadership lessons apply to the classroom. Our guest today is Elliott Powell, who was a guest on School of Thought Episode 20. He is a retired U.S. Navy Captain who served in the Navy for 26 years. He commanded four ships during his tenure there, including the command of a minesweeper during Operation Desert Storm, with which he destroyed or cleared 16 mines. After his naval career he became the director of the White House Situation Room and served under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush in that capacity. Powell now serves as an 8th Grade U.S. History teacher in Southern California. He was named teacher of the year at his middle school in 2018.   Episode Links Learn more about Twelve O’Clock High: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041996/ Twelve O’Clock High Trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGEekUoEQUM Episode 20 with Elliott Powell: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-20-elliott-powell-jr/id1325922902?i=1000420738286 Episode 20 Shortcuts with Elliott Powell:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-20-shortcuts-elliott-powell-jr/id1325922902?i=1000420739610   We would love to connect with you!

There are times in an Academy Award Winning Actor's life when they gotta put food on the table. I assume this is what Dean Jagger (Best Supporting Actor, 1949, "Twelve O'Clock High") was thinking when he signed on the dotted line for "X The Unknown". The movie itself was a blatant attempt to sidestep Quatermass creator Nigel Kneale's cease and desist from using his character; undeterred, Hammer basically filed the serial numbers off the script (renamed the character) and filmed it anyway. That's how we get a Best Supporting Actor waving around a Geiger counter and battling a giant blob that crawls up out of the earth and melts people's faces off.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – Nerds Amalgamated Go! We are here once again with your irregular dose of fun, news, entertainment and educational synopsis that we like to call a show. We hope everyone is surviving the rigours and tortures of university, college, school, work, life, or whatever else it is you do. This week we have another exciting show for you all filled with space, games, and some viewing material to look forward to. We hope you enjoy and let us know what you think, we do listen. First up it is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo missions and Buck has brought us links to a number of different stories regarding them. Also, some of the myriad events that are happening around the world involved in the celebration for everyone to enjoy. We also talk about the movies inspired by events and documentaries about the rock stars who ride the bullet into space. What is your favourite Apollo story, movie, mission, or general piece of trivia? Drop us a line or post in the comments on the facebook page. Next up we look at this year’s less than stellar E3. The major highlight moments were the Keanu Reeves appearance at the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Where he showed once again that indelible charm that makes everyone love him when people yelled out from the crowd. Why can’t he be the President of America? He would be a darn tooting sight better than almost everyone they have had for a long time. We also take a moment to acknowledge the fabulous Ikumi Nakamura, the director of Ghostwire Tokyo who just had fun. We also take a moment to glance at Devolver Studios and the madcap mayhem that is the ongoing saga of their E3 show. It is still so much more fun then must be legal. The biggest failure was the announcement that Bethesda is making Fallout 76 a battle royale (yayyyy, another one…yawn) in an attempt to save the game from becoming a complete failure (too late). This week the DJ has the story of Netflix planning a new series based on Tom Clancy’s The Division. The discussion runs through the idea, worrying at the potential failure of yet another game to cinema/television cross over. Further the potential overload of too many post-apocalyptic shows (no, not with zombies either, we discussed that). We do know two of the cast members Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal, so it starts with two beautiful people surviving… or do they? This week’s games are: Buck is playing Assassins Creed 2 (Not Unity). Professor is still playing Cataclysm: Dark days ahead (Listen in for how he dies this week). DJ is once again playing Apex Legends We have the usual list of shout outs, remembrances, birthdays and special events. Hidden somewhere in the show is Buck telling us about a delightful Pug that doesn’t like being licked in return. Listen out for that, we have the link provided, it is funny. Other than that, we just wish to say thank you once again for listening and supporting us. We do appreciate it. Please remember to take care of yourselves and look out for each other, and drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Peace out.EPISODE NOTES:Apollo 50th Anniversary - http://www.astronomy.com/bonus/apollo_home - https://www.nasa.gov/specials/apollo50th/events.htmlE3 2019 - https://www.theguardian.com/games/2019/jun/10/e3-2019-biggest-news-xbox-bethesda-ubisoft-nintendo-square-enixThe Division now on Netflix - https://variety.com/2019/film/news/jessica-chastain-jake-gyllenhaal-the-division-movie-netflix-1203238700/Games Currently playingBuck – Assassin Creed 2 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/33230/Assassins_Creed_2_Deluxe_Edition/Professor – Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - https://cataclysmdda.org/ DJ – Apex Legends - https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/apex-legends-ps4/Other topics discussed[un]featured Articles (That’s Not Canon Podcast)- https://thatsnotcanon.com/ufapodcastMargaret Hamilton (Software engineer)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hamilton_(software_engineer)The Dish (2000 Australian movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_DishPast Apollo programs- Apollo 8 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_8- Apollo 13 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_13List of Apollo missions- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apollo_missions#Crewed_Apollo_missionsFunny Flat Earth and Anti Vax Shirt- Picture - https://image.spreadshirtmedia.com/image-server/v1/mp/products/T812A1MPA3140PT17X10Y30D1021097368FS5253/views/1,width=550,height=550,appearanceId=1,backgroundColor=F2F2F2,modelId=1237,crop=list,version=1557984561,modelImageVersion=1554797138/anti-vax-flat-earth-mens-premium-t-shirt.jpg- Purchase Link - https://www.spreadshirt.com/shop/design/anti+vax+flat+earth+mens+premium+t-shirt-D5c662501f937645575149bc8Mars One- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_OneHow long does it take to go to Mars from Earth?- https://www.universetoday.com/14841/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-to-mars/Falltout 76 battle royale: Nuclear Winter- https://www.gamesradar.com/au/fallout-76-battle-royale-mode-nuclear-winter/Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2- https://www.gamespot.com/articles/legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-2-revealed-for-/1100-6467700/Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk 2077- https://www.gameinformer.com/e3-2019/2019/06/11/keanu-reeves-is-more-than-a-cameo-in-cyberpunk-2077Battle Royale game from Devolver Studios: Fall Guys- https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/12/fall-guys-is-a-kinder-gentler-battle-royale/Devolver Bootleg - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1066260/Devolver_Bootleg/Ikumi Nakamura captures internet hearts- https://www.cnet.com/news/e3-2019-ghostwire-tokyo-director-ikumi-nakamura-captures-the-internets-heart/Netflix games announced on E3- https://www.techradar.com/au/news/netflix-teases-new-games-at-e3-2019-including-a-location-based-stranger-things-mobile-rpgThe Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics- https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/06/11/dark-crystal-age-of-resistance-tactics-announced-e3-2019Collection and Trials of Mana now available on the Switch- https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2019/06/12/collection-of-mana-is-now-available-on-the-switch-and-trials-of-mana-is-released-next-year/#4b9cd85b4876Revolution (TV Series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_(TV_series)Prince of Persia : The Sand of Time (2010 film) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Persia:_The_Sands_of_Time_(film)Prince of Persia (game franchise)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_PersiaMovies Jake Gyllenhaal acted- City Slickers (1991 movie) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Slickers- Zodiac (2007 movie) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac_(film)- Nightcrawler (2014 movie) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightcrawler_(film)Movies Jessica Chastin acted- Lawless (2012 movie) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawless_(film)Pug doesn’t like being licked - https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatthefuckgetitoffme/comments/77pqrb/pug_doesnt_like_to_taste_its_own_medicine/Michael Jordan (American former professional basketball player)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_JordanWayne Gardner (Australian former professional Grand Prix motorcycle and touring car racer)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_GardnerLady Godiva, Countess of Mercia- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_GodivaShoutouts8 Jun 2019 - Ashleigh Barty Wins the French Open - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/08/sports/french-open-ashleigh-barty-marketa-vondrousova.html 11 Jun 1955 - The 1955 Le Mans disaster occurred during the 24 Hours of Le Mans motor race at Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France on 11 June 1955. A major crash caused large fragments of debris to fly into the crowd, killing 83 spectators and French driver Pierre Bouillin (who raced under the name Pierre Levegh) and injuring nearly 180 more. It was the most catastrophic crash in motorsport history, and it prompted Mercedes-Benz to retire from motor racing until 1989.11 Jun 1963 - Buddhist monk Quang Duc publicly burns himself to death in a plea for President Ngo Dinh Diem to show “charity and compassion” to all religions. - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/buddhist-immolates-himself-in-protestRemembrances11 Jun 1979 - John Wayne, nicknamed 'Duke', was an American actor, filmmaker and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient. He was among the top box office draws for three decades. He starred in 142 motion pictures altogether. According to one biographer, "John Wayne personified for millions the nation's frontier heritage. Eighty-three of his movies were Westerns, and in them he played cowboys, cavalrymen, and unconquerable loners extracted from the Republic's central creation myth." He appeared with many important Hollywood stars of his era and made his last public appearance at the Academy Awards ceremony on April 9, 1979. He died of stomach cancer at 72 in Los Angeles, California - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne11 Jun 1999 - DeForest Kelley, known to colleagues as "De", was an American actor, screenwriter, poet and singer known for his roles in Westerns and as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy of the USS Enterprise in the television and film series Star Trek (1966–1991).

U.S. President Lyndon Johnson honored Peck with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1969 for his lifetime humanitarian efforts. In 1999, the American Film Institute named Peck among Greatest Male Stars of Classic Hollywood cinema, ranking him at No. 12.

He is widely considered the father of the modern style of conjuring such as second sight, the ethereal suspension, the marvelous orange tree, robert-houdin's portfolio, the light and heavy chest. His reputation was so great that he was requested during the 1850s by the French government to help put down a tribal rebellion in Algeria using his skills. This is surely a feat that not many magicians can boast about.

Following our review of Twelve O'Clock High, hear from veterans George Roberts, John "Lucky" Luckadoo, and Bob Shoens, who saw firsthand what was happening within the US Army Air Forces during World War II.

Upon seeing the WWII film, Twelve O'Clock High, Curtis LeMay is reported to have said that he "couldn't find anything wrong with it."  Tune-in to see if our historians agree.

We're saying farewell to Rian Johnson's Film Camp with a wrap-up of how each film actually influenced The Last Jedi!In the lead-up to the release of The Last Jedi, we watched (and podcasted about) seven films recommended by director Rian Johnson — Three Outlaw Samurai, To Catch A Thief, Gunga Din, Twelve O'Clock High, Sahara, The Bridge on the River Kwai and Letter Never Sent.Of course, we speculated wildly about how each film would influence The Last Jedi — but now that Rian Johnson's film is out there in the wild, we don't need to guess anymore. The man himself has finally explained the influence of each film in an interview with Mike Ryan at Uproxx and in the pages of Phil Szostak's fantastic book, The Art of the Last Jedi, and we're breaking down his comments in this week's show!

At Star Wars Celebration Europe, Rian Johnson named a few movies that he asked the Lucasfilm Story Group folks to watch, so that they would have a common cinematic language when it then came to discussing and preparing for his creation of The Last Jedi. One of those movies is Twelve O'Clock High, the 1949 movie about daylight precision bombers in World War II. I'm analyzing that movie with a special guest: writer and podcast producer Bobby Roberts. Punch it! ***I'm listener supported!

On this week's Force Material podcast, we're going back to Rian Johnson's film camp to break down how Twelve O'Clock High could influence The Last Jedi!The 1949 film, directed by Henry King, tells the story of a US Bomber unit stationed in England during the darkest days of World War II.Gregory Peck, as Brigadier General Frank Savage, is tasked with getting "maximum effort" out of the unit's pilots, and leads them on increasingly daring raids — at no small cost to his own health.Twelve O'Clock High was one of six films that director Rian Johnson required the cast and crew of The Last Jedi to watch as part of his 'film camp' before production began. Johnson told Empire that Twelve O'Clock High was "a big touchstone" for The Last Jedi, "for the feel and look of the aerial combat, as well as the dynamic between the pilots".This week, as we count down to the release of The Last Jedi, Baz and I watch Twelve O'Clock High to dissect how its pioneering depiction of post-traumatic stress disorder could influence what happens next to Poe Dameron, Paige Tico and the rest of Black Squadron!

We join the fighting 918th Bomb Group as they struggle to find out what it means to give a "maximum effort" during America's first daylight precision bombing runs of World War II. Next episode we review "Grapes of Wrath" which does not star Ricardo Montalban. That's a different wrathful movie.

We venture deep into the uncharted waters of the Amazon river to find the Creature From The Black Lagoon. We have lots of fun picking it apart and talking about the origins of the monster, science fiction versus horror, and more! Next episode we review the World War II classic "Twelve O'clock High".
