Podcasts about VHS

Depending upon how you look at it, time passes either slow or fast. It was nearly 50 years ago that we began learning magic in a whole new way: video. Prior to that, most magic was learned through books, magazines, lectures, or through an apprenticeship that was passed on from one magician to another. In some ways it seems that our evolution moved slowly from video tape to where we are today with digital images.In the late 1970's, Bob Yorburg, went into the studios and recorded a two volume VHS set where he taught close-up magic. It wasn't long after that before others ran through the door. I was one of those who watched that video set over and over and learned many of my early routines from Bob. He transitioned from one character to another before he found his true passion, refurbishing old magic props, carving Punch and Judy dolls, and working on band organs.

He apparently worked in many other commercials besides the hamburger giant and he has some great stories. As mentioned, his passion is now carving carousel animals, carousel band organs, Punch and Judy dolls, and is respected and awarded in that field.

Today's Celebrity News: If you've ever argued about which city makes better music, this episode is about to ruin your friendships—in the best way possible. The Rizzuto Show dives headfirst into the ultimate rock debate: Seattle vs. Boston. Grunge legends, classic rock icons, fake hometown claims, and personal biases all get dragged into what becomes a full-blown rock city Super Bowl. Is Seattle just a “moment in time,” or does Boston's legacy really hold up? Spoiler: nobody fully agrees, but everyone has strong feelings.Then Cardinals broadcaster Chip Caray jumps on to clear up the absolute mess that has been watching Cardinals baseball lately. From how fans will actually watch games this season, to the emotional gut punch of the Brendan Donovan trade, to what the front office is truly building toward—this is one of the most honest Cardinals conversations you'll hear. It's baseball reality, not sugarcoated nonsense.And because this is a funny podcast, the show immediately swerves into celebrity chaos. Matthew Lillard launches Ghostface Vodka, Quentin Tarantino randomly roasts actors who kind of look like him, and the gang debates whether Van Halen's 5150 still rules or belongs in a straight-to-VHS karate montage. Ozfest rumors pop up, the Breaking Bad house drops in price, and Florida somehow becomes cold enough for iguanas to fall out of trees like scaly Christmas ornaments.The episode wraps with Winter Olympics conspiracies, snowboarding supremacy, curling respect, celebrity birthdays, and a Porn Star Birthday that absolutely didn't need to exist—but here we are.This funny podcast is peak Rizzuto Show energy: music debates, sports truth bombs, pop culture chaos, and jokes that make you laugh while wondering why you're learning these things at all. If you like your daily comedy loud, sarcastic, and slightly unhinged, congratulations—you're in the right place.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hello! And welcome to season 15 of the Dana Gould Hour Podcast. Fasten your enthusiasm harness, we are blasting off again. Mark Malkoff has a new book entitled Love, Johnny Carson: One Obsessive Fan's Journey To Find The Genius Behind The Legend. Johnny Carson is so larger than life now it's important to sometimes take a step back and appreciate his accomplishment. Unlike today, when there are 8,000 channels, and three network late night talk shows. Johnny Carson hosted The Tonight Show when there were around ten channels total and one, count 'em, one late night talk show, which he hosted for 30 years. He interviewed over 25,000 guests, navigated America's cultural conversation from President Kennedy through President Clinton. Mark's book covers the debuts of then-unknown comedians who are now household names. He talks about Johnny's feuds, and he had some. There were periods of time when William Shatner and Orson Welles were banned from the show. But Mark's book is very affectionate. It's honest without being exploitive. It dishes a lot of dirt but it's never bitchy, I can't recommend it enough. Mark Malkoff. Right here. In the human flesh.  The second interview is with two dudes who have written extensively about two films from a very special time in American cinema-going. Back in the 70's, you see, before cable and VHS tapes and streaming, if you wanted to see a movie, you had to wait and catch it on television. And if you wanted to see it uncut, you had to find it playing in a movie theater. And that's it. Because of this, more people went to more movies more often. And, since this was before multiplexes, movie theaters were more random. You didn't have 16 screens in one building. You had sixteen different movie theaters scattered around town.  John Gaspar has written a book about a very strange event at one such theater in one of my favorite cities in the goddamn world, and yours too, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The book is called Held Over: Harold And Maude At The Westgate Theater and it tells the story of Hal Ashby's 1971 black comedy Harold and Maude, that starred Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort, that ran for two years at the Westgate in the Minneapolis suburb of Edina. The film ran for so long, the neighbors protested, demanding a new movie! It's a terrific book about what movie going in America used to be like, before the multiplexes took over. John and I are joined by Ari Kahan, who is the archivist of The Swan Archives, which is I can best describe as a labyrinthine database covering all things pertaining to 1974's Brian DePalma cult classic, Phantom Of The Paradise. Don't know too much about Phantom Of The Paradise you say? No worries, you will by the time we get there, True Tales From Weirdsville takes us on a deep dive inside that mid 70's glam-rock Faustian gem, Phantom Of The Paradise.

Get ready to relive peak 90s sports-movie chaos, because this bonus episode of No More Late Fees is all about flying V energy, childhood crushes, and extremely serious hockey opinions. Jackie and Danielle are back on the ice, revisiting The Mighty Ducks trilogy in a way only they can—equal parts reverent, chaotic, and lovingly unhinged.In this episode, the hosts break down Mighty Ducks lore through a full-on character draft, pulling players from all three films and debating who truly deserves a roster spot. Along the way, they dig into behind-the-scenes trivia, character arcs that aged surprisingly well (and some that absolutely did not), and the emotional weight of growing up on Disney Channel sports movies. Expect hot takes on Julie “The Cat,” Adam Banks' undeniable talent, Bash Brothers strategy, and why Iceland may be the most iconic villain team of the era.The conversation also veers into broader nostalgia, touching on kids sports movies that shaped an entire generation, questionable accents, rich-kid antagonists, and the cultural pipeline from The Mighty Ducks to modern sports fandom. With witty commentary, playful arguments, and deep-cut references, this episode feels like hanging out with friends who know way too much about 90s movies—and are proud of it.If you grew up rewinding VHS tapes, yelling “quack, quack” at the TV, or forming lifelong opinions about fictional hockey teams, this episode is for you. Be sure to subscribe to No More Late Fees, leave a review, and share the episode with a fellow Duck who still knows all the words to the theme music.Keywords: Mighty Ducks podcast, No More Late Fees, 90s movie podcast, Disney sports movies, Mighty Ducks trivia, Mighty Ducks character analysis, nostalgic movie podcast, millennial pop culture, kids sports films—No More Late Fees ⁠https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com⁠909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefeesYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitterhttps://x.com/NoMoreLateFees —CONQUERing⁠⁠myconquering.com⁠⁠10% Off Code: JACKIE10—NostaBeautyhttps://nostabeauty.com 20% Off Code: NMLF—Previous EpisodesBASEketballhttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/baseketballSports Comedies with Coach Ronhttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/sports-comedies-with-coach-ronOut Coldhttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/out-coldBest Winter Y2K Movieshttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/best-winter-y2k-movies-from-slope-laughs-to-icy-disasters

Grease as a studio movie in the late 1970s was a big swing. Sure it had two big stars in it, but its success entering a crowded summer of movies was not a foregone conclusion. But it turns out it was just what people were craving at the time and the film, much like the stage musical it was based on, was a huge success. On this episode of the Retroist Podcast, I talk all about Grease. Starting with my first interactions with the film. Like many, I found the songs in the films hard to resist and re-listened to the soundtrack until I had memorized my favorite song, Greased Lightnin'. What I didn't know about the song, was that it had some adult themes that I was too young too understand. How did my family react, with laughter, of course. Then I move onto the film going all the way back to its origins as a stage musical. After that, I discuss its development, casting, production, release, reception, and much more. This is a film that not only was big at the box office, but managed to find success in related media. Notably the soundtrack. The soundtrack for the movie was a big seller and was a major reason for its snowballing success. The movie made you want to buy this infections soundtrack, but then after listening to it, you wanted to re-watch the movie and the studio obliged. Re-releasing the film in theaters, making it an early title on VHS, and getting it on television on a regular basis. Grease ended up being more than a hit movie. It became something people lived with. It moved easily from theaters to records to home video and television, and each stop fed the next. Over time it stopped feeling like a release and started feeling like a fixture. On this episode, I look at how that happened, how a movie built on nostalgia became part of everyday life, and how a song you could sing without thinking ended up revealing more than you expected when you finally slowed down and listened.

What if your 11% success rate means you're absolutely crushing it? In this episode, Paul Kirchoff shares how he helps small growth businesses and their leaders accelerate success through EPX Global, a breakthrough AI-centric acceleration platform and ecosystem. As an avid entrepreneur, investor, and global adventurer, Paul is the founder and CEO of EPX Global, where members around the world drive faster business success, max out amazing experiences, and push individual performance to new levels. Paul is also the Founder and CEO of DominoOne, an impact accelerator and crowdsourced problem-solving platform. Paul built two marketing software/agency companies and multi-billion dollar business units at Dell Computer Corporation as an early employee. He's a member of the 113-year-old Explorers Club, DJs electronic music, wrote a corporate thriller novel (giving proceeds to cancer research), and made a film about racism. Paul is developing frontier-level expertise in operationalizing artificial intelligence across the enterprise in every department. Paul reveals two relationships that transformed him in ways nobody has ever answered this question before: a Mongolian eagle hunter he met in the far eastern corner of Mongolia, an older gentleman who had zero knowledge of America, spoke no English, and lived in a yurt with horses and golden eagles as pets, teaching Paul about authentic human connection beyond labels and systems, which became the core culture he built into his technology platform where single moms are valued equally with astronauts; and a police officer who arrested him at 32 after a casual happy hour (though Paul was sober), leading to community service at a center for the deaf and blind where he spent weeks rewinding VHS tapes while listening to thought leaders teach cutting-edge SEO and digital marketing, which gave him the advanced knowledge to start his marketing agency that became successful and sold 13 years later, ultimately leading to his trip to Mongolia and the realization he needed to build EPX Global.   [00:04:00] What Paul Does at EPX Global Tech veteran CEO with many startups, sold companies, shut down companies Early employee at Dell Computer Corporation before anyone in Austin knew who Michael Dell was Built EPX Global as AI-centric ecosystem for small growth businesses and their leaders Heavy artificial intelligence expertise helping companies accelerate success, health, and experiences [00:05:00] Making Everything Go Faster Helps accelerate time to best performance unique to genetics on health side Helps companies accelerate success with AI, connections, and knowledge Makes sure people don't forget to dance under the Milky Way because life is short [00:06:00] Living in Service of Others Used to be financial goals and status symbols when younger, none of that matters now Addicted to a blank sheet of paper, gifted to solve or invent anything Respect for fellow humans (all a unit of one on their own unique journey) Living in service of others by replicating himself with technology [00:07:00] Building a Top Marketing Agency Built and sold one of top demand generation agencies in world Controlled front page of Google, Facebook called asking how they converted traffic Always on cutting edge of deploying technology in marketing (technical + psychology) [00:08:20] AI Systems for Every Business Size Wanted to build AI systems for small businesses (missing factor for 10x resources) Also doing business transformation consulting for billion-dollar companies Helping bigger companies go from where they are to AI-first operations [00:09:20] The 60% Revenue Increase Every Month Networking ecosystem connects people to solutions for health, happiness, business, capital People battling depression got connected to biohacking guys, transformed their lives One client company 60-70% higher revenue every single month with zero change to headcount [00:11:00] Being the X Factor AI systems deployed handle support, become AI salesperson, become AI marketing team Small businesses can grow beyond traditional chains with 10x resources All about being X factor in people's lives or facilitating X factor with someone else [00:14:00] The 11% Success Rate Discovery Expert guest on platform said his success rate is 14% (very successful guy) Paul did the math on his own attempts, came out to 11% success rate Entrepreneurs put enormous pressure on themselves, need different perspective [00:16:00] Trust in an AI World Real meaningful relationships becoming more and more valuable with AI Building networking assistant governed by user (uses your reasoning to find value) Human connection and that magnetic field around our hearts makes us who we are [00:19:40] When Social Media Became Entertainment Facebook, Instagram, TikTok devolved into micro entertainment channels (not networking) Feeds filled with ads and sponsored posts, no actual networking EPX Global has no ads, every connection based on merit of what you want [00:20:20] Photorealistic Fake Content AI video (Sora, Veo) can create photorealistic content that's completely fake Consumer backlash coming for authenticity in connections Business will embrace AI efficiency (hyper-efficient usually wins) [00:23:00] Two People, No Names Never anyone Paul looks up to or admires or wants to be like who affected his life Been blessed to meet incredible people (Pope, Richard Branson's Island, etc.) Two people come to mind that transformed everything Both people Paul has no idea where they are or their names [00:24:20] Far Eastern Mongolia Was entrepreneur working 14 hours a day for decade plus, one-trick pony success Knew needed to desperately change something, chose adventure Took group to far eastern corner of Mongolia to ride horses with eagle hunters Met older gentleman in yurt who had zero knowledge of America or United States [00:25:40] The Man with Golden Eagles Man spoke zero English, wore fox neck tie, had pet golden eagles (40 pounds) Paul realized this is furthest from his life as tech guy (opposite side of life) Both excited to meet each other as new friends with zero in common [00:27:00] Single Moms and Astronauts Brought that spiritualness and core value into network he built Despite super achievers (swimming oceans, skiing Everest, gold medals), none of that matters Single mom raising five good kids might be more impressive than astronaut [00:27:40] The Saturday Night Traffic Stop At 32, coming out of casual happy hour, got pulled over Told officer honestly: "I had two drinks over last hour, I'm clearly fine" Officer said he seemed like nice guy but made him do sobriety test Got arrested and taken downtown (was actually sober, officer kept saying he was nicest person) [00:28:40] Community Service for the Deaf and Blind Offered to do community service to get charge expunged Chose center for deaf and blind, job was rewinding VHS tapes in warehouse Asked supervisor if he could listen to music, supervisor said yes [00:29:20] SEO Lessons in His Ears Instead of music, put in thought leaders teaching SEO and digital marketing For weeks on end, hours a day, learning cutting-edge techniques from pioneers After that, was so advanced in knowledge that led to starting agency Agency became successful and powerful, sold it 13 years later [00:30:00] The Chain of Events If officer hadn't arrested him, wouldn't have had that learning experience Wouldn't have had confidence to start agency that got him burnt out Wouldn't have gone to Mongolia and realized need to build network [00:31:00] In the Canyon Before the Summit At the time was devastated, seemed horrible (younger without perspective) Now incredibly grateful it happened When in the canyon, you're about to go to the summit [00:32:20] When Identity Gets Wrapped Up Greatest risk to mental health is when identity tied to something other than happiness If identity wrapped up in labels (AI whisperer, top guy), devastated when things go wrong Separate identity from accomplishments to stomach any ups and downs [00:38:00] The Leader in the Back AI exercise: meditate on what you look like as future leader Paul's image: crowd moving down valley, Paul in the back (slightly bigger) Leader in back can move crowds (not showing off Maserati or boat) [00:39:00] A Multitude of Miracles However someone gets through life (good/bad parents, heartbreak, etc.) shapes them Everyone made it to this one moment in time (mathematically massive miracle) When you respect everyone like that, you operate without ability to judge or be judged [00:39:40] Operating Without Fear When you don't judge or feel judged, you operate without expectations Without expectations means without fear of future negative ramifications Can be yourself, be present, love everybody, still compete   KEY QUOTES "I did the math and my success rate is like 11%. And I feel like I'm fairly successful, right? I've learned to not really give a shit about what your definition of success is." - Paul Kirchoff "There's zero in common, zero knowledge about each other. And it was one of the most remarkable moments because it shows you this level of connection that's possible when you drop labels and systems and passports and everything else." - Paul Kirchoff "If that guy wouldn't have arrested me, I wouldn't have started an agency, wouldn't have gotten burnt out, wouldn't have gone to Mongolia, and wouldn't be on this call today." - Paul Kirchoff CONNECT WITH PAUL KIRCHOFF 

I sat down with Bria Rose, dark romance author and fairy-tale rewriter. To talk about why Disney was never meant just for kids, and why the stories we grew up with deserve to grow up too. We dig into adult fairy-tale retellings. Retake of Beauty and the Beast as an 18+ narrative. Why sanitizing myth, folklore, and European fairy tales. Strips them of their cultural spine. This conversation isn't nostalgia bait. It's about respecting history, intention, and the emotional weight. That made these god damn stories matter in the first place.We get deep into Disney's past, from The Black Cauldron and Sword in the Stone. To the scrappy VHS era, and why modern remakes feel hollow along. Compared to the original risks the studio once took. Bria breaks down her writing philosophy. Why research and travel matter when retelling culturally rooted stories. How she approaches representation without flattening identity into corporate checkboxes. We also talk anime, international and storytelling, horror, censorship, inscriptive fearlessness. Why Americans forgot how to let art be uncomfortable.This episode is honest, unfiltered, and unapologetically adult. It's about creativity, culture. Why rewriting stories doesn't mean erasing their origins. If you love Disney but feel disconnected from what it's become. Or if you believe fairy tales should still have teeth, this one's for you.Where to Find Bria Rose?

Andrew and Vieves unpack a trove of 90s ads from Andrew's VHS digitization project. It was a simpler time, as America learned about basic cable, how to go “online” and microwaving potato chips, all within in a Seinfeldesque miasma.

Frank Sell is the founder of Get Shit Done Coffee and living proof that the American Dream is still alive. He grew up hearing the usual advice: get good grades, go to college, get a job. But he knew early on that path wasn't for him. School didn't make sense, so he learned a trade. With nothing but $100, a VHS tape, and a drive towards freedom, Frank quit his job and hit the pavement learning a new trade. As he puts it, he beat the streets so hard he swears he'll get a bill for the potholes! No mentors, no handouts, just raw hustle. Today, that same drive powers Get Shit Done Coffee, built for those who want more out of life and are willing to work for it. Frank's journey is simple but powerful. If he can do it, so can you. All you need is heart, grit, and the will to GET SHIT DONE!In this episode, Frank shares three books that have inspired him, reading each multiple times!For more great content, go to:https://www.isintosuccess.comhttps://www.instagram.com/insightsintosuccess/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVRkDL7gZSP98vnVyZ5445ghttps://www.tiktok.com/@insightsintosuccessEmail us at: paul.d@isintosuccess.comThanks for supporting us in our journey to find the secrets to success!

Andrew is very excited about something he discovered on a random VHS tape, and he's hoping some Seattle-area listeners can help him source it. Plus, Luke is trying to decide whether or not to ditch TikTok now that Larry Ellison effectively owns it. And a listener forcefully sets the record straight on the origins of Taco Time NW. 

The boys are back for 2026, and they are not easing into it gently. Born to Watch kicks off the new year with a full-blooded dive into one of the most aggressively 80s action films ever put on VHS shelves, Walter Hill's Extreme Prejudice (1987). Cowboy hats, cocaine, mercenaries, sweat, testosterone and a whole lot of unexplained shoulder shots, this one has it all. In this Extreme Prejudice (1987) Review, Whitey, Gow and Damo reunite as the A-team and take on a film that feels like The A-Team pilot collided head-on with a dusty Western, then detonated somewhere on the Texas–Mexico border. At the centre is Nick Nolte at peak brooding intensity, playing a stone-faced Texas Ranger chasing his childhood friend, now a drug-running psychopath in a pristine white suit, played with unhinged gusto by Powers Boothe.Directed by action legend Walter Hill, Extreme Prejudice is the kind of movie that barely pauses for breath. Secret military units officially declared dead, renegade majors, bank robberies, double-crosses, unnecessary nudity and a final act so chaotic it feels like an entire missing movie has been cut out, which, as the boys discover, is pretty much exactly what happened.The cast reads like an 80s action villain roll call. Michael Ironside growls his way through another morally questionable authority role, Clancy Brown looms menacingly, William Forsythe perfects the art of being deeply hateable, and a young Larry B Scott pops in an action film after Revenge of the Nerds turned him into a cult comedy icon. Add in Maria Conchita Alonso, singing badly on purpose, and you have a film bursting at the seams with characters who all look like they should be in different movies.As always, the boys break it down properly. Overs and unders are debated, including the uncomfortable realisation that Extreme Prejudice may make perfect sense if you're sixteen and not at all if you're over forty. There's deep discussion about whether Nick Nolte smiles even once in the entire film, spoiler, he does not, and whether anyone in the 80s understood centre-mass shooting.The Nut-Tuck-Yourself SAG Awards get a workout, with Nolte's pre-Prince of Tides physique under the microscope, and the Snorbs Report pops up exactly where you expect it to. Box office numbers are crunched, Walter Hill's career is put into context, and the boys try to work out how a film with this cast, this director and this level of explosive excess somehow lost money.Film School for F-Wits returns with a look at Hill's obsession with male-driven action cinema, while Hit, Sleeper and Dud for 1987 reminds everyone just how stacked that year really was, from Predator and Lethal Weapon to the absolute disaster that was Revenge of the Nerds II.Add in listener feedback, voicemail chaos, bird-related accusations, corn beef confessions, and a reminder that Born to Watch never takes movies, or itself, too seriously, and you've got the perfect way to start the year.This is sweat-soaked, ridiculous, deeply flawed 80s action cinema, and the boys wouldn't have it any other way.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Extreme Prejudice peak 80s action excess, or just glorious nonsense?Does Nick Nolte smile even once in this movie?Is the final act pure chaos genius, or a missing half-hour of film?Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or at BornToWatch.com.auBorn to Watch, because some movies demand to be watched, argued over and mildly roasted.#BornToWatch #ExtremePrejudice #80sActionMovies #WalterHill #NickNolte #ActionMoviePodcast #CultAction #VHSClassics #MoviePodcast #80sCinema

In this episode of Man Made Monstercast, r0b dives headfirst into conansploitation chaos with Ator, the Fighting Eagle—an Italian sword-and-sorcery oddity from Joe D'Amato. A prophecy-marked baby, a Spider Cult, an adoption-loophole romance, Amazons, a horny witch detour, the hilariously named Shield of Mordor, and—because this movie refuses to behave—a bear cub sidekick. Then it all climaxes with a full-on giant spider boss fight, complete with rope-web set dressing that looks more nautical than arachnid and practical creature effects that proudly show their strings. If you like your fantasy grimy, ridiculous, and deeply VHS, this one's for you.

This week on Man Made Monstercast, we're cracking open the vault for a throwback episode—a former Patreon exclusive—and revisiting the peak conansploitation trash-classic: Deathstalker. It's got everything: a greasy anti-hero with main-character immunity, barbarian beefcake bravado, sorcerers doing the absolute most, cheap magic effects, sweaty arena nonsense, and that unmistakable “we shot this on a budget of a ham sandwich” drive-in energy. If you like your sword-and-sorcery loud, dumb, mean, and gloriously VHS, saddle up—this one's a time capsule.

Grab your skates, pop in that well-worn VHS, and get ready to quack your way straight back to the '90s.

RSS/iTunes/Spotify Check out the Serpent’s Path archive right here. Kiyoshi Kurosawa is coming off a rough patch after controversies around SWEET HOME in 1989 and the financial failure of THE GUARD FROM UNDERGROUND in 1992, but after retreating into television work he’s about to be given a new lifeline in the 90s: V-CINEMA! This straight-to-VHS trend focusing on genre fare ended up being a training ground for a number of favorite directors and Kurosawa dives right in, first with the extremely silly (but quite fun) crime-comedy YAKUZA TAXI, and continuing with the cycling drama (adapted from a Yasuhito Yamamoto manga) MEN OF RAGE. On this episode of SERPENT’S PATH we look at everything Kurosawa was up to, how he ended up on these two films, and detail some of our own frustrations watching them. ENJOY!The post Episode 310 – Serpent's Path: The Films of Kiyoshi Kurosawa – Men of Rage (1994) & Yakuza Taxi (1994) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

A tre anni i bambini di solito vanno alla scuola materna, anche detta la scuola dell'infanzia oppure anche asilo, una parola piuttosto vecchia per descrivere il posto dove i bambini dai tre ai sei anni possono giocare, fare dei piccoli lavoretti, dormire, imparare a socializzare con altri bambini. La scuola materna, Kindergarten è gestista dallo Stato, oppure da ordini religiosi o da privati.All'età di sei anni comincia per tutti la scuola elementare che dura cinque anni. Si chiama ufficialmente la scuola primaria ma da tutti è conosciuta come scuola elementare. La parola „scuola primaria“ deriva dal francese e si è diffusa soprattutto nei paesi anglosassoni con „primary school“.

Joe Dirt on VHS, cool things happening in Indiana, and coaxing a song out of something mundane. Drew Auscherman (Playland, Hoops) “In a world of constant change, one of the few things that provides consistency in our lives is the upcoming release of another album by Drew Playland and his Playland recording project, and the increasingly likely fact that it will, in all probability, be essential listening! Playland 2 marks his fifth album of 2025 and is arguably his best to date. It showcases his penchant for eclecticism, that is so deeply rooted in originality that listeners are completely immersed in new aural discoveries with each repeated listen (…and I assure you, there will be many!). In tracks such as “Red Hot Ranch”, “Everyone in the Park Is In Love”, “Power Outage”, and “Interactions”, a sense of dulcet jangle reminiscent of Porch Kiss or Van Chamberlain is juxtaposed with the melodic, Lush-style aesthetic that is found at the most melodic end of the shoegaze spectrum. In contrast, the shoegaze influences in “Luv Like That”, “I Don't Want To Live Here Anymore”, and “Vanity” take on a more muscular pop quality, with sounds oscillating between fuzzy Mo Troper-style power-pop modernity and the incessant energy of Motorists. When the intensity diminishes, a playful C86 vibe emerges, revealing the cult 80s jangly indie-pop style of contemporary ‘retro acts' like Zenxith and I Wanna Be A Truck Driver. This is accompanied by a rich, fractured baritone that is perfectly unsuited to its surroundings, offering an entirely original blend of sounds. Drifting with consummate energy through both prolificity and originality without ever diminishing quality, Playland truly is a modern day act to be celebrated."

In this episode, I speak with Jan-Willem Blom an AI filmmaker and creative director whose work sits at the intersection of classic storytelling, world-building and emerging AI tools.Jan traces his creative origin story back to a video store in the Netherlands hours spent studying VHS covers. That early obsession with imagery, myth and struggle later became the foundation for how he approaches AI filmmaking today.Jan argues that AI makes images faster, but stories still take time. We explore why struggle is the core of storytelling, how world-building is a way of seeing rather than a scale problem and why creators must intentionally preserve friction in their process.Jan also breaks down his practical frameworks for:Developing stories through “what if” questionsTesting ideas through teasers instead of full productionsBuilding visual identity through posters, symbols, and toneKey Themes We ExploreWhy “storytelling” is really struggle-tellingCharacters, world-building, and struggle as inseparable pillarsHow classic films taught us systems thinking through storyUsing AI to refine judgment, not replace itWhy speed without intention creates noiseThe importance of creative anchors and long-term obsessionsKey TakeawaysWorld-building happens at every scale, from a bus to a galaxyGreat stories require time, friction, and reflectionTools should serve story not the other way around

We're cracking open 1991 like a fresh VHS rental and drafting the very best films the year had to offer. Rob, Dave, and Kurt will go head to head, assembling their dream rosters from a cinematic moment that still hums with electricity. This was the year of Terminator 2: Judgment Day rewriting the rules of the blockbuster, The Silence of the Lambs turning prestige drama into a pop culture event, and comedies lodging themselves permanently in the brain. What About Bob?, with Bill Murray at peak controlled chaos, sat right alongside Hot Shots!, proving 1991 could swing from psychological tension to perfectly timed lunacy without breaking stride. The draft unfolds across six categories, including comedy, blockbuster, big budget, and drama, forcing tough calls right out of the gate. Do you lock in T2 or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves for sheer scale, grab Boyz n the Hood or Thelma & Louise for dramatic weight, or roll the dice on something like Point Break, where surf culture, skydiving, and philosophy collide? Strategy matters, nostalgia runs hot, and no one leaves without defending at least one hill they're willing to die on. By the end, we'll have three very different blueprints of 1991, built from quotable lines, seismic action, and films that still feel permanently etched into moviegoing memory Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408    Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall    YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ   Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall  Voicemail #: (509) 426-4542 

On this episode of The A Game Podcast: Real Estate Investing for Entrepreneurs, Nick Lamagna sits down with Din Thomas — UFC pioneer, elite coach, commentator, storyteller, comedian, actor, and one of the most unique minds in the fight game by building skills not excuses. Din is the definition of reinvention. From early MMA days and building a life through grit and constant pivots, to coaching world-class athletes (including champions like Amanda Nunes) and becoming a standout voice in combat sports media, Din breaks down what it really takes to succeed when the path isn't clear and he is proof that legends aren't born, they're molded—in backyards and barber shops with VHS tapes and a whole lot of grit. He went from a former barber to cell phone activator to fighter and is a martyr for amateur mma in Florida even getting put in a cage for having people fight in one before it was a sanctioned thing!  He made a bold decision to bet on himself leaving the well known ATT gym in Florida and went solo to follow his own vision for athletes he can mold and has made quite a name for himself as he went from the fighter to the coach and the business man now coaching up and comers and champions. You can find him everywhere including behind the mic on UFC BJJ events, Karate Combat events, behind the desk at UFC events and on Dana White's Looking for a fight with Matt Serra.  Please welcome a true MMA original,  the fighter, the philosopher, the master of reinvention This conversation is packed with practical takeaways for entrepreneurs, investors, athletes, and anyone chasing personal growth: ✅  How mental toughness is built (not inherited) — and how to develop grit through "small bites" and patience ✅  Why decision-making is the ultimate success skill in business, investing, and fighting ✅  The real secret behind top performers: saying "yes" fast, then adapting and pivoting when needed ✅  How to handle feedback and criticism without ego — and use it as fuel to grow ✅  Why social media can be a competitive disadvantage — and how Din protects his focus ✅  Communication, performance, and confidence: how Din used skills like acting/improv to level up in life and career ✅  Betting on yourself: leaving comfort, creating space, and letting the next opportunity find you Whether you're building wealth through real estate investing, scaling a business, trying to get your mindset right, or you're a UFC/MMA/Jiu-Jitsu fan who loves the behind-the-scenes journey of champions — this episode delivers.

Put on some scrunchies and hairspray with CFCs because today Jake and Brooke time travel back to 1993 to talk about a VHS classic: "Sex, Lies & ... The Truth!". You'll be shocked to hear that this film is full of lies. Misleading? I prefer to think of it as irony. Mostly because that makes me feel better about humanity.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetterLicense code: 9OT2MTBHWWSRZP5S Hosted on Acast.

Years earlier, as a teenager, she fell asleep on the couch to something harmless on a VHS tape pulled from her dad's home-recorded collection—sitcoms, reruns, and whatever happened to be on TV that week. Sometime after midnight, she jolted awake to the television behaving in a way that didn't make sense… and to a scene she recognized instantly from a movie she'd never actually watched.What happened next wasn't just “creepy.” It was the kind of moment where your body freezes, your mind scrambles for a rational explanation, and the room suddenly feels wrong—like something is aware you're awake.The next day, she tried to recreate it. The tape didn't cooperate. And that's what still unsettles her: not the movie itself… but the feeling that whatever happened that night wasn't accidental.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalExperience #HauntedTV #VHSNightmare #TheExorcist #CreepyEncounters #UnexplainedPhenomena #SleepFears #GhostStoryPodcast Love real ghost stories?
