The Bastards delve into the fecund fields of fusion once again, focusing on that most electric of decades, the 1970s. This excursion sticks mostly to lesser known stars in the fusion firmament, but there's one exception to this rule. That exception likes his finger-picking fast and his cover-girls nekkid. Neal Ardley – KALEIDOSCOPE OF RAINBOWS; Hermann Szobel – SZOBE; Al Dimeola - ELEGANT GYPSY; Passport – HAND MADE; Ryo Kawasaki – JUICE.
In this episode, we break down The Usual Suspects and why it stands as the greatest cinematic con ever pulled on an audience. We dive into how Bryan Singer's direction and Christopher McQuarrie's screenplay construct a perfect illusion, leading to one of the most iconic twist endings in film history. We explore the brilliance of Verbal Kint, the layers of deception, and why the reveal of Keyser Söze still shocks viewers decades later.

After the heist goes wrong, they find themselves being manipulated by a mysterious and dangerous crime boss named Keyser Söze. As the story unfolds, one of the criminals, Verbal Kint, tells the police what happened. Through flashbacks, we learn about betrayal, revenge, and the power of fear. The movie builds to a shocking twist at the end, where everything we thought we knew is turned upside down.

The Engagement Epidemic: Why Your Paycheck Isn't Enough to Keep People Caring Think handing out paychecks automatically creates engaged employees? Think again! The Usual Suspects are back to shatter another leadership myth that's costing organizations big time. With only 31% of employees actually engaged at work (thanks, Gallup!), it's time to face the uncomfortable truth: your people might be physically present but mentally checked out. The Real Talk on Real Engagement Myth-Busting Moment: Just because someone shows up and collects a paycheck doesn't mean they're invested in your mission. In fact, nearly 20% are actively working against you - ouch! The Relationship Revolution: Our panel discovered that the most engaging workplaces aren't about the work itself - they're about the people around you. From bosses who pour into your potential to leaders who create environments where engagement can actually flourish, it's all about human connection. The Coaching Corner: Stop trying to force motivation and start hiring motivated people. Then create the conditions where they can choose to be fully present and invested. The Bottom Line Engagement isn't something you do TO people - it's something you create space FOR people to choose. The difference between a paycheck-collector and a passionate contributor? Leadership that sees potential, builds relationships, and treats work as a calling, not just a job. Tune in for: ✅The brutal truth about why most employees are mentally checked out ✅How to spot and nurture those "almost engaged" team members ✅Real strategies for creating environments where people WANT to be invested ✅When to stay in a toxic situation vs. when to run for the hills ✅The secret to hiring people who are already wired to care Ready to stop settling for warm bodies and start building a team that actually gives a damn? This episode is your wake-up call.

CardioNerds (Dr. Rick Ferraro and Dr. Dan Ambinder) join Dr. Sahar Samimi and Dr. Lorraine Mascarenhas from Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, at the Houston Rodeo for some tasty Texas BBQ and a tour of the lively rodeo grounds to discuss an interesting case full of clinical pearls involving a patient with nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE). Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Basant Arya. Episode audio was edited by CardioNerds Intern Dr. Bhavya Shah. (Photo by Xu Jianmei/Xinhua via Getty Images)Xinhua News Agency via Getty Images We discuss a case of a 38-year-old woman with advanced endometrial cancer who presents with acute abdominal pain, found to have splenic and renal infarcts, severe aortic regurgitation, and persistently negative blood cultures, ultimately diagnosed with nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE). We review the definition and pathophysiology of NBTE in the context of malignancy and hypercoagulability, discuss initial evaluation and echocardiographic findings, and highlight important management considerations. Emphasis is placed on the complexities of anticoagulation choice, the role of valvular surveillance, and the need for coordinated, multidisciplinary care.

Pearls- Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Eliminate the Usual Suspects. NBTE is a diagnosis of exclusion! Always rule out infective endocarditis (IE) first with serial blood cultures and serologic tests. More than Meets the Echo. Distinguishing NBTE from culture-negative endocarditis can be tricky. Look beyond the echo—focus on clinical context (underlying malignancy, autoimmune issues) and lab findings to clinch the diagnosis. TEE for the Win... Mostly. While TEE is more sensitive than TTE, NBTE vegetations can be sneaky and may embolize quickly. Don't hesitate to use advanced imaging (i.e., cardiac MRI, CTA) or repeat imaging if you still suspect NBTE. Choose your champion. In cancer-associated NBTE, guideline recommendations for anticoagulation choice are lacking. Consider DOACs and LMWH as agents of choice, but ultimately use shared decision-making to guide management. No obvious trigger? Go hunting for hidden malignancies or autoimmune disorders. A thorough workup is essential to uncover the driving force behind NBTE. Check out this state-of-the-art review for a comprehensive, one-stop summary of NBTE: European Heart Journal, 46(3), 236–245. Please note that the figures and tables referenced in the following notes are adapted from this review. notes- Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Notes were drafted by Dr. Sahar Samimi. What is nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE)? NBTE, previously known as marantic endocarditis, is a rare condition in which sterile vegetations form on heart valves.1 It occurs most commonly in association with malignancies and autoimmune conditions (i.e, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome or systemic lupus erythematosus).1 In addition, NBTE has been reported in association with COVID-19 infection, burns, sepsis, and indwelling catheters.2 Precise mechanisms remain unclear, but an interplay of endothelial injury, hypercoagulability, hypoxia, and immune complex deposition contributes to the formation of these sterile vegetations. 1 How do we diagnose NBTE? Physicians should have a high level of suspicion for NBTE in at-risk patients (e.g., with active malignancy) who present with recent or recurrent embolic events (i.e., stroke, splenic, renal, or mesenteric infarct, and acute coronary syndrome).1
Priority vs. Priorities - Cut Through the Chaos The One Thing That Will Transform Your Leadership (Spoiler: It's Actually Singular) Ever wonder why you feel busier than a one-legged cat in a sandbox, even when you're supposedly "organized"? The Usual Suspects are back with a reality check that'll make you question everything you thought you knew about getting things done. Spoiler alert: You've been doing priorities all wrong. The Great Busyness Myth Gets Busted We kick things off with a retired principal's confession that'll hit every overachiever right in the feels. Turns out, retirement doesn't mean more time for yourself—it just means everyone else thinks your calendar is their personal playground. Sound familiar? Our hosts dive deep into why we mistake motion for progress and how the cult of busyness is actually making us less effective. The Etymology Bomb That Changes Everything Here's a mind-bender: The word "priority" was singular for 500 years until the Industrial Revolution messed it all up. That's right—priority, not priorities. You can't have five first places in a race, so why do we try to juggle five "top" priorities? The hosts break down how this linguistic shift reflects our modern chaos and why getting back to singular focus is your secret weapon. From Multitasking Hero to Single-Focus Champion Forget the multitasking badge of honor—science proves you're actually terrible at it. When you split focus between two tasks, you lose 25-50% effectiveness on the first one. Our panelists share battle-tested strategies for identifying your lead domino, the one thing that'll topple the rest and actually move the needle. Real-World Priority Systems That Actually Work Get ready for tactical gold. From the Eisenhower Matrix to the A-B-C calendar system, our leadership veterans share the exact frameworks they use to cut through the noise. Plus, why delegation isn't about dumping tasks—it's about strategic multiplication of your impact. The Bottom Line You're not struggling because you have too much to do. You're struggling because you're trying to do everything at once. The most successful leaders don't manage more priorities—they ruthlessly focus on the one thing that matters most right now. Tune In For: The historical reason why we're all doing priorities wrong Science-backed proof that multitasking is sabotaging your success Battle-tested systems for identifying your true priority Why retirement might actually make you busier (and how to fix it) Real strategies from executives who've mastered sustainable strength Stop wearing busyness like a badge of honor and start wielding priority like the leadership superpower it actually is.

City Funded Grocery Store FAILS in Black Neighborhood because of the Usual Suspects
WHO is Keyser Soze?It was one of the more intriguing questions posted within cinemas in the Summer of 1995 and for good reason. Identifying this mysterious spectral crime boss whom EVERY ONE else on screen was afaid of became the central mystery of this small indie crime thriller from a couple of relatively untested fimmakers with a very electic cast. The director was Bryan Singer (X-Men Days of Future Past, Bohemian Rhapsody) and the Oscar-winning screenplay was by Christopher McQuarrie (Mission Impossible Fallout, Jack Reacher). The stacked ensemble cast included Gabriel Byrne, Benicio Del Toro, Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Pollack, Chazz Palminteri, Giancarlo Esposito, Dan Hedaya, Suzy Amis, and Kevin Spacey who also won an Oscar for his memorable performance as Verbal Kint...or was it some one else? ;) This twisty action drama became one of the most talked about films of that year and eventually one of the more beloved, influential films of the 1990's. Now approaching its 30th Anniversary, it's time to head back to the docks of San Pedro and find out if there actually IS any dope on that boat......

This week we're unraveling The Usual Suspects (1995), the twisty noir where five crooks walk into a lineup and never walk out the same. Kevin Spacey spins his web as Verbal Kint, Gabriel Byrne simmers with guilt, and the specter of Keyser Söze looms larger than life—or maybe larger than myth. It's a puzzle box of lies, loaded guns, and smoky backrooms, where the truth is as slippery as the devil himself. We're sifting through the ashes to see why this tangled tale still leaves us questioning everything. Did you enjoy the episode?

Join Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson as they soar back to the Man of Steel's world in Bryan Singer's Superman Returns (2006). After a five-year absence, Clark Kent / Superman (Brandon Routh, Dodgeball, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) returns to Earth only to discover that his love, Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth, Blue Crush, 3000 Miles to Graceland), has moved on—and even has a young son, Jason. As Clark grapples with heartbreak, he uncovers a nefarious plot by Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey, American Beauty, The Usual Suspects) to use stolen Kryptonian technology to reforge the world in his image. Rounding out the stellar cast are James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men, Enchanted) as Lois's fiancé Richard White, Parker Posey (the “Queen of Indies” in Party Girl, Best in Show) as tabloid editor Kitty Kowalski, Sam Huntington (Disturbia, I Am Number Four) as earnest photographer Jimmy Olsen, Frank Langella (Oscar-nominated for Frost/Nixon) as Perry White, and Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar, Designated Survivor) as Richard's brother, Stanford White. The spirit of Superman's father, Jor-El, is heard in archive audio of Marlon Brando (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now), tying this chapter back to the character's origins. Don't miss Tara & Andrew's breakdown of the film's most iconic moments—from the breathtaking sequence where Superman slows time to save Lois and Jason in that penthouse fall, to the jaw-dropping finale atop Lex's oceanic fortress, where Superman confronts a golden statue come to life. We'll discuss the soaring flight through Lois's apartment, the emotional “son of Krypton” reveal, and how Superman Returns balances nostalgia with new stakes for Earth's greatest hero.

#WeirdDarknessRadio WEEK OF APRIL 13, 2025HOUR ONE: What caused complete darkness to engulf the New England town of Newburyport in 1871 – and what were the strange lights seen by dozens of students and their teacher? *** Engineers working to link Scotland and England with cables on the floor of the ocean have stumbled across an amazing find from Word War 1… a submarine that was sunk due to a sea monster! (The Submarine Sunk by a Sea Monster) *** “The Mira Theater Haunting” by Bili White ==========HOUR TWO: “MJ12: JFK and UFOs” *** No one likes uninvited guests – and it appears, neither do those in the afterlife. (Dead Village) *** Ask Pedro Rodrigues Filho and he'll tell you he's a nice guy. After all, he may be a serial killer – but he only kills bad guys. (The Real-Life Dexter) *** What caused the sky to go dark in the middle of the day back in 1780? (New England's Dark Day)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Paul Bernardo, with the help of his wife Karla Homolka, stalked a Canadian suburb with a number of terrible rapes that were only the beginning of their life of cruelty. They would come to be known as the Ken and Barbie Killers. (The True Horror of the Ken and Barbie Killers) *** When you think of a con artist, you think of slick players like Johnny Hooker and Henry Gondorf from “The Sting”, masters of disguise and ID like Frank Abagnale from “Catch Me If You Can”, or even the mysterious Keyser Söze from “The Usual Suspects”.
