Podcasts about Wonderful Life

As our family had to travel to the Finger Lakes area of New York State, we made it a point to visit the It's A Wonderful Life Museum in Seneca Falls since it's a movie we watch every year.  What a great time we had looking at the artifacts and memorabilia they have available.  Then, of course, a quilt on display caught my attention.  The attendant had such great information on the movie and the museum and she was able to share with me that Barbara Reigel, one of the museum's trustees, had made the quilt.  I was quite delighted when Barbara called me later that afternoon to schedule an interview.  I'm so thankful that Barbara and others have worked so hard to establish and keep this wonderful museum going.  The It's A Wonderful Life Museum and Festival are certainly worth seeing! Here's Barbara's quilt that is hanging in the It's A Wonderful Life museum. So happy that we were there! They even have the bridge!

Anthony Schlegel was in rare form today, telling us a story about an OSU practice in which he was punished because Troy Smith was trash-talking the defense...Lettermen Row's Tim May compared the NCAA to the movie "It's a Wonderful Life"...and Beau Bishop shared experiences from his recent vacation in California.

One of America's greatest and most beloved film directors, Frank Capra, was just six years old when he arrived in New York on a steamer from Sicily with his poor Italian immigrant parents in 1903. Growing up, he worked hard, excelled in school, and fell in love with American freedom and the American common man giving us such films as “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and “It's a Wonderful Life.” 

S2E7: Ah. Ah. Ah. You've heArd of Bush did 9/11? Well, nothing prepared us for Schneider did C*vid-19, which is essentially a 9/11 every week (get vaxxed & stay masked). In this week's episode of iCarly, Nickelodeon completely duplicates It's a Wonderful Life, Spencer and Mrs. B KISS, and Nevel Papperman is acting like French bread more than ever. Circe has done the unthinkable, Natalie has her werld titur moment and Spencer is normal. Normal? How could that be a bad thing? Hope you're ready. - A Instagram | Twitter | TikTok | Youtube send us a message! www.irewatchicarly.com

In which we address the Frank Capra film It's a Wonderful Life, and how Mary's wish when she breaks the glass kills George's father, causes the Great Depression, sends an angel to prevent George from killing himself and helps raise the money that keeps him out of jail. In short, Mary is the twisted monster responsible for George never leaving Bedford Falls, even if it's "only" to go to prison. OK, we're kidding. We don't talk about any of that. But we still have a great discussion. As noted elsewhere, this is Part 2 of our two-part Episode 37. So if you're compulsive, make sure you listen to 37a first. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wordsandmovies/support

When Sean first proposed this series of episodes, and the film pairs that would be involved, Claude was kind of baffled with this particular one. Both of these films are amazing, and why would anyone be forced to choose between them? They have different subject matter, different directors, different storylines...about the only thing they have in common is that they were both released in 1946. But apparently the either/or for these films is a thing, so here we are. Both The Best Years of Our LIves (directed by WIlliam Wyler) and It's a Wonderful Life (directed by Frank Capra) are very long films with a lot of details and such attached to them, so we spent nearly an hour on each film. That's much longer than our longest episode so far, so rather than calling it a single "overstuffed" episode, we've broken it into two episodes being released nearly simultaneously (they're a few minutes apart, to be transparent about it). In this half, we spend the time on The Best Years of Our Lives, a film that runs close to three hours without an intermission, but if you've seen the film you know that the time practically files by, because you get so caught up in the story. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wordsandmovies/support

It's a Wonderful Life (1946, IMDb: 8.6) – It's Christmas in April! This is one episode you won't want to miss. Highly recommended to watch this film beforehand. Next week: Dazed and Confused (1993) (happy 4/20) Feel free to reach … Continue reading →

Once in awhile, people get weirdly divided in their loyalties to things: Coke vs. Pepsi, Star Wars vs. Star Trek, Ford vs. Chevy, Harleys vs. Hondas, and so on. What we don't really get is how comparisons like this apply to movies. You can like this film or that film, but there's something inherently wrong with you if you like both of them. Well, we're here to explain to you exactly the opposite: two films can have different approaches to a similar theme, but you can, in fact, like both of them. We're kicking off a series of five episodes dedicated to exactly that, and we start with High Noon (1952), starring Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly, and about a hundred and eighty-six character actors. From there we move to 1959 and Rio Bravo, starring John Wayne and Dean Martin. Both of these are amazing films, and we go into excruciating detail to tell you why we think so. And at the end, we do express our personal preferences (which don't agree with one another), but the fact is, we love both of these films. Just...one a little bit more than the other. COMING ATTRACTIONS: In Reel 37 we bring you Part 2 of our five-part series with a pair of films that are vastly different in nearly every way, but there still seems to be insistence on one or the other. We have The Best Years of Our Lives, starring Frederic March and Dana Andrews, and It's a Wonderful Life, starring James Stewart and Donna Reed, both from 1947. The Best Years of Our Lives is an epic-length film with no intermission, so be ready for that. And we know it's warming up, but go watch It's a Wonderful Life anyway, because now you have a reason to. PS: Coke, Trek, Ford, Hondas. Thank you. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wordsandmovies/support

Have you noticed that a lot of popular portrayals of heaven or of life after death are a bit mundane? Sometimes, they picture a person in a white robe with wings, often sitting on a cloud and strumming a harp. At other times, they are portrayed as having a body much like the one they had before death, although they may be able to walk through walls or have special power. You know, like Clarence in the film It's a Wonderful Life. I think these ideas miss the mark. Listen to 1 Corinthians 15:42-44, “So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;  it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.” (NIV) Notice how different the resurrected body is? It will not decay or grow old. It will not be subject to frailty and weakness, but will be raised in power. It will also be more glorious than what we have now. I like to think of this as the difference between flower seeds and the beautiful blooms they produce! Today, we have a body suited to life on this earth. But the resurrected body will be suited to life eternal!

Dr. Bill McCumber keeps his finger on the pulse of the finance world, and his roles at Louisiana Tech make him an important figure in the ever-evolving College of Business. In this episode, he talks about the Student Managed Investment Fund (pronounced "smif" for fun) and the growth it has experienced thanks to the efforts of his students. He discusses financial technologies and how they're shaping the realm of banking, and he recounts his journey from the big city to the Ruston countryside, even telling us along the way why It's a Wonderful Life might be the best banking movie he's seen.

He was sure he had discovered an incredible invasion of Earth by lifeforms from another planet. He didn't know what to do! He tried to warn the government before things got out of hand. And, Harry spent three years in space waiting to get home to Earth—and his family. They were waiting for him too—that is, for his corpse... Two science fiction short stories next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Hi, I'm your host, Scott Miller, sci-fi fanatic and audiobook narrator and I want to thank you for listening to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast with at least one lost sci-fi short story in every episode. We welcome your comments, thoughts, and suggestions. Send an email to scott@lostscifi.com. Chris Williams sent us this email recently, “Hey Scott, I love the Lost Sci-Fi Podcast but you said Planet of the Apes was your favorite sci-fi franchise by far. What about Star Wars? That's my favorite. Keep up the good work, I listen to your podcast every week!” Thanks, Chris. I do love the Star Wars movie franchise and you got me thinking. I think the reason I put Planet of the Apes as my all-time favorite sci-fi franchise is because it began when I was a little kid and I'd seen all 5 of the apes movies before Star Wars was released in 1977. I saw Star Wars just days after I graduated high school in Denison, Iowa in what is now known as the Donna Reed Theater, named after the iconic actress who was born and raised in Denison. Reed, born Donna Mullenger, starred in the 1946 Christmas classic “It's a Wonderful Life” alongside Jimmy Stewart. Which begs the question is “It's a Wonderful Life” a science fiction movie? Before you say no, think about it. George Bailey played by Stewart is suicidal when he's visited by an angel when George says, “I wish I'd never been born.” The angel grants his wish and now the movie switches to an alternate timeline where George Bailey was never born! Sound like sci-fi to me. What do you think? Is “It's a Wonderful Life” a science fiction movie? We'd love to hear your thoughts, scott@lostscifi.com. Seven years after “It's a Wonderful Life” was released a new science fiction magazine debuted in June 1953. Science Fiction Stories Magazine would publish once in 53 and once in 54 before releasing multiple issues over the next 6 years. The inaugural issue was 132 pages and sold for 35 cents. I found a good to very good copy on sale for only $25, which sounds like a bargain to me considering it contains a remarkable short story from the amazing Philip K. Dick. Turn with me to page 127, A little whimsy, now and then, makes for good balance. Theoretically, you could find this type of humor anywhere. But only a topflight science-fictionist, we thought, could have written this story, in just this way…. From Science Fiction Stories Magazine in June 1953 The Eyes Have It by Philip K.

Here in this video I talk to Danielle about the dirty war that is politics; lawsuit culture; 'the patriarchy'; feminisation of culture; social control; the great Reset - 'you will eat bugs and you'll be happy'; why Biden won't take a mental test; how critical race theory dominates higher education; how decolonialization is making tribalism trendy again; how cancel culture and mass struggle sessions are bringing the public discourse further down; how far-left indoctrination is happening younger and younger; how modern movies are cynical because of younger screenplay writers that are ideologically motivated; the greatness of 'It's a Wonderful Life'; why the new Star Wars movies are silly and poor quality - no depth of characters; degradation of culture in just the last 5 years; why 'Wonder Woman 1984' is trash; why some people in the mainstream media are turning against Biden; the absurdity of Kyrie Irving able to attend the game but not play the basketball game because of nonsensical Covid rules; Covid compliance and authoritarianism mirroring a scary time in history; the new Supreme Court pick being chosen on the basis of gender and race; how she rates Trump's presidency and why; comedians like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon living in a (far-left) bubble; why people dislike Kamala Harris; how hatred (aka marxism) corrupts people's character; the genius of Thomas Sowell; unicorn ideology of modern politics; the problems with some of the politics of Jordan Peterson; her view on boomers & the 'fortification' of the last election.

You may hear me say often that you were created on purpose, with purpose, and for purpose, but this time it's personal.    This is the season you've been called to fulfill all of the things that you've been talking about but haven't been executing.

My guest for this episode of the Guest Friends podcast is my fellow bray, homie, and mic-dropper: Jason Tomlinson. AKA – J-Live.   Jason was born in Guam as part of a missionary family and has lived a little bit of everywhere since then – including having been partially raised in the Mitten State from 1989-1994. He and his wife Leah are both high school teachers and reside with their three lovely children just outside of Nashville, Tennessee.   I met up with Jason at the podcast studio inside the boutique Russell Hotel in East Nashville to discuss his passion for words – especially through the mediums of Spoken Word poetry and Podcasting. Amongst other insights, Jason shares his connection to Shel Silverstein's "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout"; what having his poems published in the Flint Journal at age 15 taught him; and how his new podcast "Eight Stories Tall" is out to prove that "an uninteresting person does not exist." Oh, and you'll get a chance to hear J-Live perform two of his original spoken word poems: "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Grace Tree" during the episode.  We'd enjoy your comments or questions: GuestFriendsPodcast@gmail.com Instagram: Guest Friends   LINKS RELATED TO THIS EPISODE: Logo Credit: Saint-Creative.com Music Credit: Of Asaph (James Alleman) Promo Production & Voiceover: Brian "Broops" Brophy   Recommended Resources: Podcast: Eight Stories Tall (Jason Tomlinson) Podcast: The Pivot (Andrew Osenga)  Place: The Russell Hotel - Nashville YouTube: Shel Silverstein reading "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out"  YouTube: Amena Brown "Dear TV Sitcoms" YouTube: Shane Koyczan "To This Day" (anti-bullying poem)

MARSHALL HERSKOVITZ is a writer, producer, and director who has won numerous awards for his work in television and film. Born in Philadelphia, he attended Brandeis University, then moved to Los Angeles in 1975, where he attended the American Film Institute. One of his classmates was Edward Zwick, and there the two created what is currently the longest-surviving creative partnership in Hollywood: The Bedford Falls Company, named for the town in Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life. In the ensuing decades they created such TV series as thirtysomething, My So-Called Life, and Once and Again; and Herskovitz variously produced and/or wrote many films with Zwick, including Legends of the Fall, Traffic, The Last Samurai, and Blood Diamond. Herskovitz also directed Jack the Bear and the cult-favorite Dangerous Beauty. In 2007, Herskovitz created the groundbreaking online series and social network quarterlife, which at the time was the internet's most successful scripted series, and the first online series to transition to network television. A longtime environmentalist, Herskovitz has served on the board of several organizations dedicated to fighting climate change. He is a past president of the Producers Guild of America. In this episode, we talk about: • The Last Samurai and working with Tom Cruise • His first role in the Entertainment industry and his first job while still at film school. • If AFI (American Film Institute) prepared him for the industry and what he took from it • The transition from writer to Showrunner and the birth of the hit show thirtysomething • Working with his partner Edward Zwick and their initial different strengths and weaknesses. • How he and Ed work together now; who directs and who writes. • Working on some of his biggest projects • Tips for aspiring actors About the Guest: Twitter Wikipedia IMDb Host: Instagram: @MentorsontheMic @MichelleSimoneMiller Twitter: @MentorsontheMic @MichelleSimoneM Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mentorsonthemic Website: www.michellesimonemiller.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/24mmichelle

Hey Everyone Thanks for tuning in! In this episode is titled “It's A Wonderful Life”, do you remember this classic movie? I read an opening quote from the late legendary actor and entertainer Bob Hope about “loving others” how do you express yourself to others? Do they know how you feel about them? Is it genuine? And is your expression more than what is described in a Christmas Card? I've learned that sometimes writing a letter is the best form of communicating your feelings of how much you care about those you love. I know writing letters is “old fashioned” these days especially in the time of technology texting through phone or FaceTime. A letter takes time and effort and as you write it takes thought from your heart. This year send an old fashioned letter to someone perhaps a friend, your Son or Daughter, Mother or Father or your Spouse, see what kind of response or reaction you get. Hope you enjoy this episode please subscribe and share. God Bless You All.
