David Cronenberg's The Fly (1986) stars Jeff Goldblum as Seth Brundle, a brilliant scientist who creates a teleportation process using telepods. Geena Davis, who was Goldblum's real-life partner during the filming, plays the ambitious journalist Veronica who falls in love with Brundle. Coming in at approximately an hour and 36 minutes, Cronenberg's remake of the 1958 movie (which was based on a 1957 short story) packs a lot in, getting right to the mad scientist's lab then plenty of body horror, experiments with flesh, and a bizarre transformation. Brundle, who teleports himself during a drunken pity party, did so with a fly on board. Since the computer doesn't know what to do with these two separate entities, it fuses them, resulting in Brundlefly, and utter tragedy. Daisy Koenig, a graduate of Winthrop University's design program, talks about what makes Cronenberg's The Fly so memorable and why unhappy endings are the best kind.-Daisy Koenig, a graduate of Winthrop University's design program, is a freelance illustrator and graphic designer based in Charleston, SC.

When you talk about basketball icons who changed the game, Coach Semeka Randall Lay belongs in that conversation. From her Cleveland roots to the bright lights of Knoxville, and now leading the charge at Winthrop University, her story is one of grit, greatness, and growth.In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, hosts Head Coach KT and B Jones sit down with “Hard to Handle Randall” — one of the fiercest competitors ever to wear the orange and white — to unpack her journey from backyard battles to championship glory, from playing under the legendary Pat Summitt to carving her own legacy as a head coach.Semeka Randall's story starts in Cleveland, Ohio, where her competitive spirit was forged in a neighborhood game called booty — a no-mercy test of toughness that left no room for fear. That same fire carried her to high school dominance, becoming a two-time Ohio Ms. Basketball and Parade All-American, before committing to play for the University of Tennessee.At Tennessee, Randall became part of one of the most iconic trios in women's college basketball — the legendary “Three Meeks” alongside Tamika Catchings and Chamique Holdsclaw. Together, they brought unmatched energy, intensity, and championship DNA to the Lady Vols, guided by the late, great Coach Pat Summitt.Randall's defensive ferocity and emotional leadership made her a fan favorite — and a nightmare for opponents. Whether she was racking up eight steals in a rivalry game or saluting Geno Auriemma after a dagger jumper, she played with pure heart and swagger. “I just wanted to beat his butt,” she laughs.After hanging up her sneakers, Coach Randall transitioned to the sidelines — and like any true competitor, she started from the bottom. She laughs about her rookie coaching mistakes (“I forgot the game tape once!”), but those early days taught her resilience, patience, and purpose.As an assistant at Michigan State, she helped guide the Spartans to a national championship appearance, solidifying her reputation as a brilliant recruiter and motivator. Her journey would take her through several programs before finding a true home at Winthrop University.Today, Coach Randall Lay is redefining what it means to build a program from the ground up. Since taking over at Winthrop, she's delivered the school's first winning season in a decade and is determined to restore pride to Eagle Nation. Her leadership mantra? “Why not Winthrop?”She's building more than a team — she's creating a culture. One rooted in discipline, defense, and belief. “I'll go through a brick wall for my student-athletes,” she says — and her players would do the same for her. With her contract extended through 2028, the best is yet to come.

Catalina Z. Olvera recalls seeing Weapons in a jam-packed theater, and observing the movie's villain Aunt Gladys for the first time. We also talk about the difference between seeing a horror movie late at night on a small screen in the darkness of your den, or watching it on the big screen with friends and family, as well as strangers, surrounding you. Plus, we reflect on the way design factors into the investigative work Archer does through observations, drawing with a pen and ruler, and ultimately the diagrammatic reveal.-Catalina Z. Olvera is a Charlotte-based designer and illustrator who combines strategy, storytelling, and artful design to create work that feels intentional and full of character. She studied Visual Communication Design at Winthrop University and now works at Yellow Duck Marketing, shaping brand systems and crafting custom illustrations. Her experience spans nonprofit initiatives, sustainable beer branding like Renew Brew, and local signage in East Charlotte. A dedicated thrifter, film fan, traveler, and collector of oddities, she has been fascinated by horror since age eight. The 2004 horror film Saw remains a guilty pleasure because nothing says “form and function” quite like a well-designed trap.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by addressing the deeply troubling attack in Minneapolis, emphasizing its ideological nature and the broader implications for national security and public discourse. He criticizes the media and political establishment for minimizing the event, arguing that had the ideological roles been reversed, the public response would have been swift and severe Brett highlights commentary from Sebastian Gorka, who underscores the targeted nature of the violence against a Catholic school and challenges efforts to depoliticize the incident. He warns that ignoring such attacks opens the door to further violence and insists this event must not be forgotten. Drawing parallels to historical tragedies like 9/11 and the Alamo, Brett calls for a national reckoning and a firm stand to protect children and communities We’re joined by Michael Whatley, former RNC official and current Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, to talk about the challenges facing North Carolina and the country at large. Whatley outlines his priorities: securing the border, strengthening the economy, backing law enforcement, and supporting the America First agenda. He contrasts his platform with that of Roy Cooper, criticizing the governor's record on immigration, taxes, and public safety. The conversation also touches on rising crime in North Carolina cities and the importance of restoring public trust in law enforcement and transit safety. Whatley discusses his work in disaster relief following the devastation of Hurricane Helene, highlighting his role in helping secure billions in federal aid for small businesses and housing. He credits President Trump for pushing federal agencies to prioritize North Carolina recovery efforts. To learn more about his campaign, Whatley directs listeners to his official site at https://www.michaelwhatley.com/ Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the disappointing performance from UNC in their highly anticipated game, drawing comparisons to the hype around major football debuts and coaching challenges, including Bill Belichick's transition to the college game. The conversation then shifts to former President Trump’s announcement about relocating Space Force operations from Colorado to Alabama, sparking broader reflections on America’s place in the space race, global power dynamics, and the waning public interest in space exploration. Bo notes that while space once captured national attention, it's now more of a niche story—something both men agree should change. Bo also shares what he and Beth Troutman have coming up Wednesday on Good Morning BT, including coverage of Charlotte’s light rail tragedy, a key Metropolitan Transit Commission meeting, and conversations with cyber expert Teresa Payton and Winthrop University’s Scott Huffmon.

LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED. Not suitable for a young audience. In this conversation, Jenny interviews Kelly Hawley, the executive director of Warrior Bride Ministries, about her journey in helping survivors of childhood exploitation, particularly those affected by satanic ritual abuse (SRA) and mind control. Kelly shares her personal experiences, the challenges faced by survivors, and the importance of awareness within the body of Christ. The discussion delves into the dark realities of ritual abuse, the significance of bloodlines, and the need for community support and involvement in healing efforts. Kelly emphasizes the power of redemption and the ongoing work of Warrior Bride Ministries in providing healing and hope to those in need.Learn more about Warrior Bride Ministries here: https://warriorbrideministries.com/Kelly Hawley is the Founder and Executive Director of Warrior Bride Ministries. Kelly holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Winthrop University. She has served individuals and families impacted by childhood exploitation for over 19 years. While ministering to survivors with similar stories as her own, she noticed the Lord was sending many who had been trafficked. This exposed Kelly to the bigger picture of ritual abuse and the lack of help available to trafficked survivors and those with dissociative identity disorder. After seeking training and mentorship from experts in the field, Kelly founded Warrior Bride Ministries where she currently ministers to survivors of SRA and mind control.Kelly embraces the call to unite the body of Christ to become educated and involved in the rescue and healing of our children. She fosters this growth through ministry partnerships, hosting Counting the Cost conferences, and leading presentations at safe houses and other ministries.

Prairie High School in the Battle Ground School District is headed to a statewide tournament this weekend. But it's not for a traditional sport like soccer, baseball or football — it's for esports. Esports, like many other sports, have players compete as individuals or in a team in a video game against others. Prairie High School took home first prize in a statewide championship last fall in “Overwatch 2,” a team-based hero shooter game. On Sunday, one of the teams will head to Lynnwood to compete again for another statewide title.  Simeon Redberg is a science teacher at the school and the coach of the team. Cody Sigler is a senior and team captain who was recently awarded an esports scholarship to attend Winthrop University in the fall. They both join us to share more on the world of esports at the high school level.

This week, we welcome back to the program the Director of the Center for Public Opinion and Policy Research at Winthrop University, Dr. Scott Huffmon. We usually have Dr. Huffmon on to discuss the prestigious Winthrop Poll, known as the most reliable and comprehensive poll regarding issues and politics in South Carolina. Today, however, Dr. Huffmon joins us to discuss a fascinating class he teaches: Politics and Society in Middle Earth: The Lord of the Rings. What can Tolkien's epic fantasy trilogy, with its themes of alliances and rivalries between individuals from different races, teach us about society and politics in our own time? Let's find out. You can follow Dr. Huffmon on X at @HuffmonPolitics.   This episode was edited by Gary Fletcher. 

This week, host Tim Boyum returns to the studio after a recent road trip, sitting down with the region's top pollsters to talk about the election as early voting begins and campaigns begin their final push.  Tom Jensen, from Public Policy Polling, and Dr. Scott Huffmon, from Winthrop University, are on hand with the latest trends in the presidential race, explaining why they're spending so much of their time in the Tar Heel state. Both pollsters believe this will be an election where it will take a few days to find out who America's next president will be because of either the thin margins, or the lawsuits because of the thin margins from either candidate. There's also a conversation about Mark Robinson's numbers following the recent controversy surrounding his campaign, though both agree the governor's race will end up being lopsided based on recent data. The two also crunch some numbers on some of North Carolina's top races.

On this episode of the South Carolina Lede for September 28, 2024: on the presidential campaign trail with highlights from both VP Harris and former Pres. Trump; analysis from Winthrop University political science professor Scott Huffmon; the Democratic National Committee's plan to send tens of thousands to S.C. in hopes of flipping back some state House seats; and more!
