LAUSD Board Member Nick Melvoin joins us to discuss the critical role of local elected leaders in shaping community policies and the importance of down-ballot races in elections. There are long-term consequences of voter apathy towards local elections, state propositions, and the need for civic engagement in governance reform. Local decisions can often outpace federal changes and the significance of understanding local ballot measures that directly affect schools and community infrastructure. Follow us on Instagram and TikTokCheck Civic Sense out on YouTubeResources To Learn More:Early Voting CalendarEditor's Note: Politics is LocalIt's Not Just About the White House: Down-ballot Voting is Important TooNick MelvoinPlan Your Vote: How to vote in the 2024 election in every stateRegister to Vote/Check Registration

Du har måske lagt mærke til det før: to film, der udkommer på omtrent samme tidspunkt og deler en bemærkelsesværdig lighed i deres plot, temaer eller endda karakterer. Disse "tvillingefilm" rejser spørgsmål om tilfældigheder, kreativ paralleludvikling eller endda direkte konkurrence i Hollywood. Vi vil udforske nogle af de mest berømte tilfælde af tvillingefilm gennem tidens løb og undersøge, hvorfor det mon sker og hvor filmene afviger fra hinanden. Fra to tilfælde af terrorangreb på det hvide hus i filmene Olympus Has Fallen vs. White House Down, til kærlighedskomedier om venskab med fordele i Friends With Benefits vs. No Strings Attached. Disse tvillingefilm kaster lys over Hollywoods unikke dynamik og dets evne til at skabe trends, som nogle gange kommer i par. Så sæt dig godt til rette, for i dag skal vi ned i det forunderlige univers af tvillingefilm, hvor to bestemt ikke altid er et selskab, men snarere et mysterium at udforske. Værter: Ida-Maria Razak, Tobias Gilbert & Sara Sund Madsen

Apologies in advance: we had a tech issue this week, and lost about 30-40 minutes of audio in the middle of the episode. So, the episode is a little more truncated than we wanted it to be, but here it is: Producer Collin made a donation to our Ko-Fi page to make us watch Roland Emmerich's 2013 action movie WHITE HOUSE DOWN, and he's joining us to talk about the movie!

It might not be a state, but Washington DC dominates when it comes to American movies. The fellas bring a little bit of everything to the table; Kevin Costner runs like Tom Cruise in the classic DC thriller 'No Way Out', Kevin Kline charms the pants off Sigourney Weaver AND the USofAMovie hosts and then Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx take on James Woods playing himself in 'White House Down' Learn more about your ad choices.

Το 2013 το Χόλιγουντ φαινόταν τρομερά αγχωμένο για την τύχη του Λευκού Οίκου. Σχεδόν δύο δεκαετίες μετά το Independence Day, το μεγαλύτερο έμβλημα της αμερικάνικης δημοκρατίας βρίσκεται και πάλι υπό απειλή σε δύο μεγάλα μπλοκμπάστερ της χρονιάς. Και τις δύο φορές, ένας πράκτορας που όλοι είχαν ξεγραμμένο, αναλαμβάνει να σώσει τον Πρόεδρο από τα χέρια των εισβολέων. Συνεχίζοντας το VERSUS καλοκαιρινό μας αφιέρωμα στο POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες, αυτή την εβδομάδα θυμόμαστε τη μάχη μεταξύ White House Down (Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx) και Olympus Has Fallen (Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart), δύο ταινίες που κυκλοφόρησαν την ίδια χρονιά, έχοντας το ίδιο concept, κάνοντας το κοινό να αναρωτιέται: Δεν το ξαναείδαμε αυτό φέτος; Εσύ ξέρεις ποια είναι ποια; Γιατί εμείς μια δυσκολία την είχαμε. Πώς γίνεται δύο τόσο πανομοιότυπες ταινίες να διαφέρουν τόσο πολύ σε τόνο και σε ύφος; Ποια είναι η πιο διασκεδαστική από τις δύο και ποια ήταν αυτή που απέκτησε δύο προς το παρόν σίκουελ; Πόσο πολύ δεν θέλει να είναι εκεί ο Channing Tatum και πόσο απολαυστικά ράντομ καστινγκ είναι ο Jamie Foxx ως «πού'σαι τρελέ μου;» Πρόεδρος των ΗΠΑ; Γιατί τραβάει το κανάλι ο σκυθρωπός Gerard Butler; Και για ποιο λόγο φέρανε την Ashley Judd για να παίξει τρία λεπτά στην ταινία; Ποιο μας θυμίζει περισσότερο το Die Hard και ποιο μας θυμίζει πιο πολύ το Air Force One; Ποιο θα ξαναβλέπαμε χωρίς δεύτερη σκέψη αν έπρεπε να διαλέξουμε; Και, σοβαρά τώρα, τι είδους όνομα για franchise είνα το «…Has Fallen»; Θα μας τρελάνει τελείως το Χόλιγουντ; Αυτά και πολλά περισσότερο στο VERSUS του POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες αυτής της εβδομάδας!

Adam and Abe talk about how White House Down is one of the better Die Hards. They discuss unoriginality in Hollywood, what makes a Die Hard, and the cinematic tactics both films deploy to make you feel you're on a rollercoaster. They also talk about Adam's new guitar skill(z).

Part 2 of our Throwback Throwdown on movies about doing a Die Hard in the White House. We've seen how Chananning Tatum does a Die Hard, now it's time to watch Gerard Butler do a Die Hard. We take a dip into the Aaron Eckhart Abyss™ to break down Olympus Has Fallen. And we do it while sipping on Lark Brewing's American AF Ale because we are patriots! Antoine Fuqua assembled a team of true B-List all-stars (and Morgan Freeman) to shoot at each other in Louisiana standing in for Washington D.C. Does it have what it takes to defeat White House Down? Does Gerard Butler's accent get away from him sometimes? Does this movie also have really bad CGI? You'll have to listen to find out who wins this edition of THROWBACK THROWDOWN!!!

It's that time again...time for another THROWBACK THROWDOWN!!! It's where we have two very similar movies that were released in the same year face off in a head-to-head cinematic battle. This time around we are reaching back to 2013 when, for some reason, Hollywood made two different movies Die Hard ripoffs set in Washington D.C. - White House Down vs. Olympus Has Fallen! For this first installment, we're sipping on Busch Lite Peach (yes, that's a thing that exists) and discussing the Channing Tatum/Jamie Foxx quasi-buddy action movie directed by Roland Emmerich, a man that has blown up the White House before (Indpendence Day). Does the action deliver? Did Roland Emmerich put too many characters in this one? Is the movie leaning too hard on Channing Tatum's charm? Put your Throwback Throwdown headband on and find out!

This week, Ryan, Carter, and Evan kick the pod off with a review of Lil Uzi Vert's "Pink Tape", which has been met with mixed reviews, while still projecting to sell north of 165,000 units in its first week. The guys debate wheather or not Uzi's project should be considered a hip hop album, as it competes to become 2023's first hip hop album to hit #1 on Billboard Charts. The shift gears to the White House, where security found a substance that tested positive as cocaine, and the guys share their conspiracies and takes on the matter. Finally, Adam 22 is back in the news following backlash from a new adult film. They wrap up with a Pass The Aux segment featuring songs that are mandatory for all Summer BBQ's, cookouts, and parties. | Follow the Pod on Instagram: @freshlybakedpod, TikTok: @freshlybakedpodcast, Subscribe on YouTube! | Hosts: @ryanmyee @evan_arriaga @carter.bui | Mixed and Mastered by @machatpapi @akira_eernisse @elijah.shapiro | For all business inquires, contact Sasha Moscona (sashamoscona@gmail.com & @sashamoscona) | EXCLUSIVE VIDEO CONTENT ON YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/@thefreshlybakedpodcast/featured | SHOP ALL FRESHLY BAKED MERCH BY DIRECT MESSAGING @freshlybakedpod ON INSTAGRAM! | SHOP WITH KAZEL CLOTHING @kazel.sf AND GET 10% OFF ALL PRODUCTS USING CODE “RYAN”!

In this episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a pair of films that might just have had a bit of overlap to them!Olympus Has Fallen began life many years before it got to the screen, but it had an added advantage over its rival in that it had a movie star in place - and Gerard Butler wanted to up the violence quotient a little too. Sony meanwhile was spending a lot more money on a rival project, White House Down, that started filming last, but tried to release first. Turns out it had a bit of a film story of its own to it, too.---Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriesSupport this podcast: www.patreon.com/simonbrew.Find our print magazines at store.filmstories.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

In this hour, the guys talk more about thee fallout of the women's NCAA title game between LSU vs Iowa. Are you looking forward to women's college basketball next season or the Men's game? First Lady Jill Biden was so into the women's final that she wanted to bring both the champion the LSU Lady Tigers and the runner ups the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes tot he White House. Is that a good decision to do?

Prophecy Radio episode #76 dives into the late Lance Reddick's body of work, where we talk about his most iconic roles and which of his movies we watched most recently. As always, we also catch you up on all the latest Riordanverse news, including some updated information for the The Sun and the Star tour with Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro. Lastly, we continue our journey through The Kane Chronicles with The Red Pyramid chapter 3. Remember, we're keeping this discussion spoiler-free! New episodes of Prophecy Radio air weekly, and all ages are welcome to tune in. News and updates (00:03:29) Read Riordan has a women's history month spotlight on Gaea. This is your reminder that tickets for the NYC stop of the Sun and the Star book tour are now available. And if you can't see Mark Oshiro on tour for TSATS, be sure to find them on tour for Into the Light. Becky NEEDS you to listen to this Cinelinx interview with Roseanne A. Brown. There's a bit more news we're saving for next week, including a quiz and Rick's latest blog post. Lance Reddick (00:09:07) We talk about where Lance Reddick grew up and how he started off by studying music. The Yale School of Drama has had a lot of famous alumni at this point. Of course, Lance's breakout role was on The Wire, and we talk about how much we'd love to go back and watch it some day. And let's not forget Lost and Fringe. He also put out an album called Contemplations & Remembrances. We've talked a lot about his role as Charon, and also about his imposing presence and deep voice. That deep voice made made him the perfect choice for Commander Zavala in Destiny. Did you tear up when you read about how Destiny players saluted Zavala in the game on the day he died? Because we did. It's really too bad the Resident Evil Netflix show got cancelled. One of the best parts about digging through a prolific actor's IMDb page is searching for their forgotten roles. Did you know Lance made an appearance on The Nanny? Kristen didn't forget that he appeared in an episode of The West Wing. He also had several roles on various Law & Order and CSI shows—as do most actors these days. And let's not forget the throwback that is Beyoncé and Jay-Z's “03 Bonnie & Clyde.” If Karen gets the opportunity to talk about Numb3rs, she will. Can you guess which two roles Lance had within the Batman universe? It's time to talk about the Lance Reddick roles we were already familiar with. White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen kicked off two franchises that Lance Reddick has appeared in. And although Karen wouldn't recommend It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, you can see Lance on that show, too. Now it's time to talk about the two new Lance Reddick movies we watched for this episode. Karen heard good things about The Guest, but Kristen isn't sure how she feels about it. Monster Party is not for people who don't like body horror. Lance might not have huge role in either of these movies, but like most of his other portrayals, he makes an impact. We talk about all of Lance's upcoming, unreleased roles. What are we expecting and looking forward to in Lance's portrayal of Zeus in Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1? Watch the video of Lance talking about his role as Zeus. The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid (00:58:58) This week, we're reading The Red Pyramid chapter 3. We're so excited that we get Sadie's perspective in this chapter! Why are the police treating these kids like criminals? What's with the icy chill down Sadie's back? Is that inspector evil? Is he in on what's happening? Despite her complicated relationship with her dad, Sadie always wears her necklace. Have you seen an ankh before? Why even bother telling adults the truth if they're not going to believe you!? We talk a little bit about the ongoing conversation around ancient artifacts and repatriation. Was the inspector being super racist toward Carter? Did Carter tell the inspector some sort of cover story, or did the inspector lie to Sadie? Would Thalia and Sadie be best friends, or mortal enemies? Feedback (01:18:03) Henry calls us out on expecting answers in chapter 3. Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 77, which will be a random catch-up episode and will include a portion of an interview with Mark Oshiro about The Sun and the Star before tackling The Red Pyramid chapter 3. This episode's hosts are: Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz. Each episode, our Prophecy Radio hosts and their guests will keep you up to date on the latest information coming out of Camp Half-Blood, including upcoming books and adaptation news, discuss a topic of choice, and do a chapter by chapter reread of the Percy Jackson series.

The AMHOF is back! After an extended break (2 weeks), the tension has been building as part 2 of the AMHOF Double Feature dares to answer one of cinemas most hotly debated questions: which is the better White-House-Under-Siege-film-of-2013: Olympus Has Fallen, or White House Down?  Matt and Dereck will also decide if White House Down has enough of its resume to make it into the AMHOF.

You know how some movies come out and it just feels like they just copied one another. The best example of this I can think of is White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen. Yeah you know what I mean. Anyway we'll be discussing two alike movies and trying to figure out which one of them stands superior. Thank you all so so much for listening. Please consider sharing and we hope you have a good rest of the week!!

Ten years ago, an action movie about a siege on the White House was released. Coincidentally, 10 years ago, an action movie about a siege on the White House was released. These are two different movies, and this week, Matt and Dereck kick off Part 1 of a Double Feature with Olympus Has Fallen. This week, they'll examine another Gerard Butler gem, and decide whether or not it will be able to sneak it's way into the Action Movie Hall of Fame. Then next week, they'll decide the hall-of-fame-fate of 2013's White House Down, then crown a White-House-Under-Siege-Action-Movie-Champion.

We drool over Channing Tatum's "your best friend's hot older brother" look (read: attainable), break down how the film elevates the plot of "Air Force One" (we know, shocking but it's true), and consider how many swimming pools are in the White House.

It's Cado's turn, and what better way to follow up a movie about American liberalism than with a movie about the American film industry! We follow the Channing Tatum thread from White House Down to the Coen brother's 2016 film-epic comedy Hail, Caesar! Join the Waypoint crew as they discuss this sprawling comedy about communism, faith, and a declining empire wrapped in a series of film pastiches from the Golden Age of the American Studio system. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week: It's Rob's turn and he's taken us from the dystopia of Escape from New York to the future that liberals want, White House Down. An intensely late aughts movie in its liberal worldview, it somehow manages to find enough charm and humor to pull most of the Waypoint crew to its side. What can we say, Channing Tatum is just too darn cute! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week's Nose poured gasoline on the tapes and lit them on fire. Armageddon and Deep Impact and Antz and A Bug's Life in 1998. The Illusionist and The Prestige in 2006. Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down in 2013. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessand Everything Everywhere All at Once this year. What is the deal with Hollywood sometimes putting out multiple movies about the same thing at the same time? And: How do you organize your bookshelves? By subject? Author? Title? Color? Size? …Not at all? And finally: The Last Movie Stars is a six-part HBO docuseries directed by Ethan Hawke. It “chronicles Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward's iconic careers and decades-long partnership” and features the voices of Laura Linney as Joanne Woodward, George Clooney as Paul Newman, Karen Allen as Frances Woodward, Brooks Ashmanskas as Gore Vidal, Bobby Cannavale as Elia Kazan, Vincent D'Onofrio as John Huston and Karl Malden, Oscar Isaac as Sydney Pollack, Tom McCarthy as Sidney Lumet, Sam Rockwell as Stuart Rosenberg, Mark Ruffalo as Meade Roberts, and many more. Some other stuff that happened this week, give or take: ‘Goodfellas,' ‘Law & Order' actor Paul Sorvino dies at 83 David Warner, British Actor Known for ‘The Omen' and ‘Tron,' Dies at 80 Bob Rafelson, Director of ‘Five Easy Pieces' and Co-Creator of ‘The Monkees,' Dies at 89 The maverick filmmaker worked with Jack Nicholson on seven features, and his company produced ‘The Last Picture Show.' Tony Dow, Big Brother Wally on ‘Leave It to Beaver,' Dies at 77 He went on to a varied career as an actor, director, producer and sculptor, but he could never shake his association with the sitcom that brought him stardom. His death came a day after it was announced erroneously. Claes Oldenburg Dies at 93; Pop Artist Made the Everyday Monumental Taking ordinary objects like hamburgers and household items, he sculpted them in unfamiliar, often imposing dimensions — what he called his “Colossal Monuments.” Shonka Dukureh, Who Played Big Mama Thornton in ‘Elvis,' Dies at 44 Janeane Garofalo Never Sold Out. What a Relief. That concept might be the reason her trailblazing stand-up career has been overshadowed; it may also be the reason she's still so sharp, our critic argues.

Description: In a World…Where some will do anything to forward their agenda, one group or terrorist vegans will slap down the white house in an attempt to veganize the world. Only one man, the President of the United States himself, can stop the terrorists, rescue the hostages and prevent the White House from being completely slapped!   This episode features the improv games Prologue in a Minute, Last Letter, First Letter, Scene No Letter, Best of Times, Worst of Times, Cutting Room.   About This Episode   In this episode, we pay homage to a truly ridiculous genre: White House Action movies! The ones where the president's abode (or plane) is under attack, and it is up to the president to jump into action hero mode and stop the bad guys. These movies are usually not very good but also usually very entertaining. We certainly had a lot of fun performing it. And remember, we intend no offense towards vegans… Links Air Force One on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_One_(film) White House Down on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Down Olympus Has Fallen on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympus_Has_Fallen Time Codes Discussion the Genre, Tropes, and Outline: 05:01 Start of show: 18:20 Improv Game - Prologue in a Minute: 21:58 Improv Game - Last Letter, First Letter: 25:20 Improv Game - Scene No Letter: 38:32 Improv Game - Best of Times, Worst of Times: 49:47 Improv Game - Cutting Room:  1:03:25 End of show, into announcements: 1:12:11 More Information About the Show, Mike, and Avish   Subscribe to the podcast: http://AvishAndMike.com/Subscribe/ Our Website: www.AvishAndMike.com Our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/143183833647812 Avish's site: www.AvishParashar.com  Mike's site: www.MikeWorthMusic.com/

Joe Biden's Dog MAJOR Bites Secret Service! Jen Psaki and White House Down Plays It!

Welcome fellow adventurers! This week the guys are talking the Boot Camp. They go over the different activities the boot camp provides, which ones they like the best and why. The clips are from "White House Down," "Star Trek," "Stand By Me," and "A River Runs Through It."

This session, we're excited to have with us James Vanderbilt, a screenwriter and producer with over 20 years of major feature film experience including blockbusters such as White House Down, The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2, and, one of Tom's favorites, The Rundown.

This time, we're continuing our look at the reboot of the Planet of the Apes franchise and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and along the way we ask, what are the parallels between the Simian Flu and COVID-19, who is the real villain of the movie and is this a realistic depiction of a societal collapse? Let's dive in Cast & Crew Directed by Matt Reeves: After Rupert Wyatt abandoned the chance to direct this film, Matt Reeves was hired on after directing Cloverfield and Let Me In. He had initially worked in television after developing the hit series Felicity. Starring Jason Clarke as Malcolm: Clarke has developed an everyman type of quality and had gained recognition after appearing in the critically acclaimed war film Zero Dark Thirty and has since appeared in The Great Gatsby, White House Down, Everest, Terminator Genisys and Mudbound Andy Serkis as Caesar: Serkis was the first actor to sign on for the sequel after meeting with Matt Reeves and had become a coach for the other actors who were unfamiliar with the performance capture technology. Toby Kebbell as Koba: Kebbell has become a well-rounded actor in recent years appearing in films like War Horse, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Warcraft and Kong: Skull Island and even provided the motion capture performance as Kong for that film. Gary Oldman as Dreyfus: While he had not yet won an Oscar, Oldman was still widely recognized as a quality actor and had just wrapped up his run as Commissioner James Gordon in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy Keri Russell as Ellie: Russell had risen to fame after starring on Matt Reeves' television show Felicity and had even won a Golden Globe for her performance on the show. She has since transitioned successfully to films after appearing in We Were Soldiers, Mission Impossible 3, August Rush and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Also Starring: Judy Greer as Cornelia Kodi-Smit McPhee as Alexander Kirk Acevedo as Carver James Franco also reprises his role as Will Rodman in an uncredited cameo COVID-19 & the Simian Flu Throughout the course of Dawn, the pandemic that wiped out humanity is routinely referred to as the “Simian Flu” much to exasperation of characters like Malcolm and Ellie who had apparently worked at the CDC during the outbreak and had firsthand knowledge of the origins of the virus. There's a brief prologue at the opening of the film that tracks the path of the virus of how it devastated humanity and left the remaining survivors in tatters. The COVID-19 pandemic hasn't quite reached the same levels of destruction as the “Simian Flu” did in this film, there are some obvious parallels to draw from that deduction. There were several degrading nicknames that were conceived during the summer of 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic that directly influenced a rise in hate crimes directed toward Asian Americans. The nicknames come from a place of misunderstanding and fear and it's a mood that permeates Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Who is the Real Villain?  Sean and Chris had a healthy debate as to who the actual villain of the film really is. While the low hanging fruit would be Koba as he attempts to assassinate Caesar and kill the humans in San Francisco, an argument could be made for either Carver or Dreyfus as villains. Without Carver, the events of the film don't really kick off as he's the one who shoots Ash at the beginning of the film and brings Malcolm's group into contact with Caesar. Carver then escalates an already tense situation when he pulls a weapon on Caesar's infant son even after Malcolm had promised his group wouldn't carry weapons. Carver does eventually get killed by Koba but as Sean pointed, Carver didn't exactly have to be killed in order for Koba to carry out his insurrection. While Dreyfus is left out of the majority of the film, he does work his group into a frenzy and manages to become a villain with his final act of attempt...

You know what they say, "it's always Shark Week somewhere." This episode we take a look at President Marcus Robbins from the third entry of Syfy's SHARKNADO series, played by Mark Cuban. The movie is kind of a mash-up of WHITE HOUSE DOWN and JURASSIC WORLD with a little bit of DUE DATE and ARMAGEDDON thrown in for good measure. On SHARK TANK, Cuban always sits on the left, but where does this fake president sit politically in this schlockfest of a film?   Find us on Twitter (@Fake_Presidents) and Instagram (@Fake_Presidents) to join the conversation.
