"This was the first award. Yeah? Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, the best animated feature. Congratulations to you. Stood on ceremony and said, we must stop disrespecting animation and we must think of it as a significant art form. Okay. And take it seriously. And we must also find a way to win fascism into all of our storytelling. And he succeeded. Yeah. He won, which was a huge moment. That was a Netflix one as well. That's true. And a film that they very effectively campaign because gambling del toro went to every single event. They literally named it Guillermo del Toro. Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio is right there in the title. The only other prize that I really appreciated was best adapted screenplay. We both picked women talking and Sarah poly it for our predictions. And she won. And she gave a very good speech and that felt like the only win that didn't seem to be part of like a narrative. Every other win seemed to be kind of like rejecting or celebrating something and women talking this was one of only two nominations that it had. It had won a couple of precursors, so it's not like it was very difficult to predict, but there was certainly a part of me that was the one I think I might have even said to you while we were watching the show. I kind of feel like all quiet on the western front is also going to get in here. And if it gets in here, there's going to be some kind of awkward like, is this actually going to win best picture stuff that you were referring to earlier? And it didn't. Sarah Pauly won Sarah Paulie, of course, celebrated actress and writer director, and thought give a very good speech. And all the fans of the film go around the world were cheering loudly when she won, which was very exciting. Sarah Paul is great. Do you want to talk about Tom Cruise not showing up? Yeah, what do you think happened?

"Saber rattling from North Korea yet again Dan schwarzman is here with that in much more dense. Yeah, Doug, North Korea says a test fired submarine base cruise missiles just days after the north's leader Kim Jong-un told his troops to be ready to repel its rivals. The United States and South Korea begin joint large scale military drills Monday, which are north views as a rehearsal for an invasion, both the U.S. and the south say their intelligence authorities are analyzing the north's operation. North Korea is coming off a record year of missile testing and has already fired an intercontinental ballistic missile along with both long and short range missiles this year. Reactions still coming in over the surprise announcement Friday that China had brokered a deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia, which reopened diplomatic ties between the two countries. House intelligence chair might Turner blames the Biden administration for China possibly becoming the power broker now in the Middle East. Instead of the this administration stepping forward and being a partner to Saudi Arabia, our ally, and working with them to defend themselves against tech for Iran, they subject Saudi Arabia to significant amount of criticism and were slow to react and respond to the military needs of Saudi Arabia. So it's not unexpected that they might look elsewhere for support. It certainly is very unexpected and certainly very troubling and disappointing that they would turn to Iran.

"So I like the changes in the world and I like to have to face the same problems and I was facing 16 years ago, because that means I'm still the same stubborn guy. Oh, I think that I think that as said, I think no matter what is going to be always uncertainty and suffering, right? And that will be manifested in different ways. All the time. You have to be certain about that. Uncertainty and suffering will be integrated in anything that we do. And the world will present different challenges. When we were here 16 years, it looks like a utopia no, it was not a topic. It was another challenge. I think now these confrontation, these political times that we are living. There are so complicated that we can spend one hour. But I think as Guillermo said, I think those challenges in a way are a key element for you to be strong and even they are exciting because that makes you do a better job. You know what I mean? The more challenges and limits you have, I think in that way you are more aware, you have to be much more prepared. You have to be more excited. You have to be more warrior. So in a way, those things trigger sometime the best films. So the most challenging political times has brought always the best art. So we can not be a scare of what is happening. I think that the challenges that we are confronting the good news is I think the good, the John guy is now differently from in our generation. In a way we born with a lot of inferiority complex. You know, there was a lot of doubts about to become something. And we tried this. The way the globalization and the cultural availability to all the new guys, in Mexico, they don't have inferiority complex. You know, they are just go and fuck with this. And now even the challenges and whatever races thing or whatever challenge, oh yeah, okay, let me tell you what is a way. You know what I mean? Let me show you. And that in a way triggers the best. It takes you the best of yourself. So in a way, yes, it's challenging, but when has not been challenging. University is good. Well, then you guys probably help to cover some of that confidence and Alfonso. Is that the thing is that, yeah, you're talking about the difference and the time ever since I think that sometime, yes, there are challenges, but we're blessed. The wordless because we have, first of all, the amazing example of so many master come before us, and then we are very lucky to be of a generation that year after year, is your peers more or less your same generations. They keep bringing films that inspire you. And then you have the younger generation that is just challenging what you are inspiring you in an amazing challenging way. So I think it's a combination of that challenge. But the views were still friends, the three of us. That's what I think is beautiful after 16 years. And considering the thing that you have said to me is a miracle. No, what is great is we function deeper and better and I think it's just great to see that you can go through an entire, almost a generation and a half of industry changes and have that friendship. I think that in a way, the fact to share this is as Alfonso said, we have a privilege. Obviously, it's a privileged job, but at the same time it's challenging.

And that was leaving Mexico to come to America. It was not a decision. I think we went very different routes. Well, but can we say it's just to set the context? Guillermo, your father had been kidnapped and held for ransom. Alejandro, your parents had been assaulted, right? In their own home, I think. Alfonso, I don't know if there was a specific incident for you, but it was just a difficult time in the industry in the industry in Mexico. They were only making a few movies a year. A few movies, the way that I produced my first film was not the most like the most government happy at the time. Neither mind. Just so people follow along. Alfonso, your one was sort of a satire of their aids policy, right? And Guillermo, why were they angry at you? Well, no, my mind they literally didn't want to do it.

"Thank you guys for doing this. This is more exciting than anything I've done in a long time, very, very cool to get to have the three of you together. For people who may not know, I know you guys all grew up sort of similar, I think, upbringings in different parts of Mexico, but can we connect the dots of how you each came to know each other?

I want to say, I'll do the makeup effects for free if you love me right on direct. And I met Alfonso in the waiting room in the room. No, I have done one. By the way, sometimes they come back. Yes, this is all right. You know, and in that one, I was very proud because everybody loved it. And so I was feeling a bit cocky about it. And we were in the waiting room.

But they shot to a new degree of fame in 2006. When they each had a breakthrough film in Oscar contention, cuaron with children of men, del toro with pan's labyrinth, and in Yuri two, with Babel. Each of which dealt with struggles to communicate, and which collectively wound up with 16 Oscar nominations, three of which resulted in below the line wins. Then in a period of just 6 years spanning 2014 through 2019, at a time of rising anti immigrant sentiment in parts of America, which was certainly not discouraged by Donald Trump, who famously declared in the 2015 speech announcing his presidential campaign that Mexico was quote not sending their best close quote. These immigrants collectively claimed 5 best director Oscars. Cuaron for gravity and Roma in Ritu for Birdman and the revenant and consecutive years and del toro for the shape of water. Two of those films, Birdman and the shape of water also were chosen as the best picture of their respective years, adding another Oscar to the tally for del toro and in Yuri two. And then in 2017, in urethra was awarded an honorary Oscar for his virtual reality installation of that same year, carne, IRENA. 16 years after they were first simultaneously an Oscar contention, the three amigos find themselves in that situation again. Cuaron was one of the producers of Alice rohrer walker's 37 minute Christmas themed film, the pupil, which is streaming on Disney+ and is shortlisted for and currently favored to win the best live action short Oscar. Del toro and in your reto, meanwhile, are both in contention for Netflix films.

"Yeah, and there's been a lot of good spin off to Shaun of the dead that we did. I mean, so there's been a lot of movies that came out of it reanimator. So there's been a lot of good zombie movies that have come from it. 28 weeks later. 28 weeks later, which was great zombie movies. Great. I was actually scared to death sometimes. Oh my God, 28 days later, 28 weeks later is the sequel. Oh my God. But still, a gray zombie movie. And then you have like World War Z and I don't know, there's literally a billion movies. Tons of stuff. And then there's the shows. So many shows, yeah. Phenomenal. It's one of the highest grossing shows in history. And then they even have like fear of The Walking Dead, the talking dead. I don't know. Talk about a phenomenon. Dead dead. They made a lot of money off these movies. I mean, zombies. Zombies are a big thing, just like vampires are a big thing. We're going to be doing blade because they're it's coming out. And we should be doing hellraiser too because the new one drops on Friday. Oh, that'd be awesome. I picked two. She's picking two because we got four, four, four. We got four. Yeah, so she's going to pick two and I'm picking two. I picked this and I picked Abbott Costello. She's picking. I don't know. The pressure on the spot. I definitely want to say hellraiser. Great movie, 'cause I love it. The original spin off thing? The sequel, yeah, no, we're not going to talk about the second, third ones, but the first one, and this new one. Okay, I'm gonna say it because I obviously haven't seen it yet. The new priest, the new pinhead. Doesn't look very wet. And Clive Barker has wet creatures. And this one looks really dry. This is my main critique going into it. Jeff off vibes and trailers alone. I'm still very excited for it. But there's something there's something wet and grotesque about the initial creature about the initial gods and I'm not getting it in this one. Yeah, my experience was what Clive Barker actually I read his books first, the books of blood. That's where hellraiser came from is a short story in that. There was three of them. And I love them. And then there's another one. He has a movie out. It's rawhead Rex. That's another good Clive Barker movie that's really nice. He has another one too, doesn't he? I think so. He's like very prolific. Yeah. And his stuff is really great. I want to say he did something about a circus. And they made a show out of it, I think. I think it was HBO. Not a 100% positive. But Clyde bock is a great author. If you get the chance to read him, I mean, he's got some seriously twisted stuff. I mean, I don't believe he has any zombie stuff. I don't think he does. Unless he has a short story, but I don't think so. I mean, so for Stephen King, that's kind of zombie ish. Kinda. But yeah, so a lot of stuff did come off the zombie movies. And they still make them today and this shows are still coming out today. So I don't know if you've watched the original night of living dead. It is black and white, but if you watch it, you're going to definitely definitely like it because even though it's black and white, you can't tell. You're so focused and wrapped up in the character. And here's the thing. I don't get the critique of people saying you don't like a black and white movie. Okay, you're boring. Just because it's black and white doesn't take away any value. It was just made in a time where there weren't producing color film or color film was expensive to produce. I think that it's black and white is fine. I think it's still in enough of, I think the material is still engaging enough and still timely that that is such an afterthought. It's still so good. If you watch it on HBO Max, it's the criterion collection version. So it's the one that was restored by the MoMA. Incredibly well done in great quality. I would highly recommend I highly recommend it. I think it's a great phone. I do too. I do too. And I think as far as the black and white thing goes, a lot of newer movies, some of them actually coming out in black and white. Exactly. No, that was just very gray. But okay, but here's a perfect example. The shape of water, when that came out. Guillermo del Toro wanted to film the whole movie in black and white. But the budget would have been like double or something. So he did it in color and just had the one seen in black and white. But I think that's so crazy that this is what people could do then and now people want to do it and it's expensive. So that's digital media though. I have no problem with black and white movie. Okay, all old movies are fun and old and some people look at practical effects now and call it camp, but it's like practical effects still hold up. I'm so sorry, we won't get back into the practical versus CGI debate because I always find a way to launch into it. Oh, Adam wants to come back, he said. Oh yes, Adam come back. Come back. We have people that want to come on. And we want you to come on because it's fun. We have such a good time. It's just such a fun time. It's so fun. I know this movie, there weren't as many laughs in this one. Because it's a little bit more of a serious topic. But still holy, holy fun, holy good. Yeah. Yep, yep. As always, I have a good time. Do you want to add anything before we go? Stay spooky, my Friends. Watch all the scary movies you can. I heard hocus pocus two was trash. No, it was actually, I went into it thinking it was going to be trash. And I will say that Bette Midler and them did a phenom. They were incredible. Okay, great job. Good acting can only carry a movie so far. And the movie wasn't all that, but it wasn't terrible. It was like, it was okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, you actually saw, I did not. Yeah. If you go into it thinking that it's going to be some phenomenal thing, you would highly let down. But if you go into it thinking, it's hocus pocus, what are they going to do with it? And then if you look at it like that, you kind of like, all right, it was the Sanderson this carry the movie. Okay. Well, that's good. I do like them. I do. Okay. We'll see. The original's just so good. Yes. The original was phenomenal. You can't top the original. And this one didn't in any way shape or form. And it wasn't spectacular. I mean, I wasn't blown away with it. The Sanderson sisters, those three are so good together the chemistry together is phenomenal. And they carried that movie. Well, I feel like Bette Midler could have chemistry with a legit lamp. So she's so good. Yeah, her divine madness show if we get a chance to watch it. That's one of my favorite oh, I will. Yeah, it's defined madness. And when she does the chapel of love, she comes out, she's wearing a big bell. Listen, before there was Gaga before there was all the Bette Midler did her thing. I mean, she was like the queen of oddities. I love it. I love Bette Midler. Okay, well, this has been so fun. Halloween spooky season, scary movies. If you guys have a favorite scary movie, right end. Tell us what it is. Maybe we'll do a bonus of it because we know what we like. We want to know what you like. And I think that would be fun. Send us a DM on Twitter or Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, anywhere we're open, we want to listen to what you guys have to say. So let us know. Oh, a 100%. And if you get a chance, go into Salem, if you're in this Massachusetts area. Oh my God. You got to go into Salem for Halloween. It's an incredible experience. It's also a traffic experience. Do not do not think you're not going to pay for parking because you are. Oh my God. No way to get around it. But once you're there and it's just so much fun. If you can, my friend, Nicky DeMarcus, has a store up there called man bat. He does man bat art. It's paintings with people in tuxedos, but they have the bat's heads. That's cool. He's done very well. He's actually met the original creature from the black lagoon. That's actually sick. He met the original Boba Fett. That's cool. He's really into the gothic scene. He's done so much. He's elvira. He's like my hero. Nikki, love you kid. Shout out Nikki. Nikki. Also shout out to Salem, go there. Just give yourself like three hours to get in park. Yeah. No lie. And then for watching that, you're going to have a great time. House of 7 gables. Salem willows, which museum. Is this so much to do? You're going to have a good time. It's a good time.

Yeah yeah and i mean there wasn't much else. There weren't one hundred channels and yada yada yada so this was a big deal and cemented in the legacy of these crimes and kind of the interesting tangential legacy because obviously people aren't going around telling the story of the phantom killer but those crimes are the reason this urban legend grew like this and so then this legend itself continue to have ripple effects on pop culture. The story was featured in the nineteen eighty-one collection of short horror stories for children so scary stories to tell him the dark book series. Which is probably where i heard it from thinking back like i remember somebody had it in my elementary school and then is like ooh everybody has happened to get scale so book series has been hailed as an another quote a cultural touchstone for generation. Which i mean. I feel that from my own. I was ration- i think that's probably where i got it too because that sounds like right. Eighty one is kind of like right around when i had an awareness of that and other legends of that era. Yeah because it turned into a series and then also just being the youngest. Like i'm the youngest in my immediate family but i am drastically the youngest in all of my cousins ring up like twenty years older than me like the baby of his entire family. Except now there's a new generation behind me but yeah and then in two thousand seventeen. The books had collectively sold more than seven million copies. But like you hold that up against dear abby and that's nothing i mean wow damn. I'm just like shocked about dear. Abby hundred and ten million but there is a film made of the book series in two thousand nineteen which i really enjoyed it was produced by dear del toro..

"Voice. It was like, all right, you will be able to see Will Champion be No, did you see the game between the white socks and the Yankees? They played at the actual place in Ohio. I think for a few thousand fans. They built like a a little Stadium there to hold all the people. Did you, did you see that game? I thought it was, it gave me the chills a little bit because there was a movie that I saw growing up. And I remember seeing that with with my father and took all the players walk through the cornfield and go on to the field and it was actually a really great game to, to the spark any emotion in you or anything, or it was just a regular baseball game to you. I don't watch baseball ever since they removed the All-Star game from Atlanta for doing strong voter ID. So I don't really respect baseball game. But if you're going to say you don't respect baseball when they outlawed the Negro League, but okay. No that's racist stuff. Okay, but I think they should if they're going to do these movies. If they went up to to do a there was a movie called 42 about Jackie Robinson. Yes, why not? Do you know do a movie like that? Where there's only one black guy on the field? And then the first spacecraft is screaming the n-word for writing, you know, you can do differently. So the fan with Robert De Niro where you know Robert and all of a sudden the catch, the Umpire murders took a field day. Play by Benicio del Toro. So you didn't see the game, what game? Okay, that's fine, like, my idea of doing other other sports movies and then just, you know, I know I don't like you bringing back racism. Well, I mean racism is still still exists. I don't like you brung back stuff, just got woke. Okay. Well you can offer you want to have a baseball game where there's only one black guy in the field and you want the first base coach to scream the n-word at him for the whole first Inning on national TV, because I'm in the movie. Do you think that's appropriate? Even though with little kids, it could be the Bad News Bears. And then maybe it'd be like cuter if you have the racism with kids. And remember the Keanu Reeves movie Hardball came out after nine-eleven. Yeah. I have one of the little black kids get murdered spoiler. His spoiler right there for sure, but imagine if you don't know which one, you don't know which one and that's sort of a mystery of the beauty of the sport and you put me a little Square card.

Steven Soderbergh's 'No Sudden Move' to Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival
"There's a new steven soderbergh movie coming out. Oh really just assumed. There's one every month now. Accurate that is fair but i reference of course there in the question out of sight still my favorite steven soderbergh movie. And there's a reason for it. Soderbergh himself said when asked about making this movie. No sudden move which is a heist movie. The last time. I shot a movie in detroit with a great script and a great cast. Things worked out. Pretty well yeah. He made a masterpiece. This one though. Unlike out of sight is a period piece it said back in nineteen fifty five and is about a group of small time criminals who are hired to steal the documents. Seems like it's simple josh. I don't know if you've heard this before it's a heist that seems like it'll be simple And then something goes off if you want to make a move proposition for you. It's never your fault. is it offensive. Do you think i was skiing. I'm sure there's going to be some interesting socio political elements to the movie being set in detroit in the mid fifty s. A time where you know. Some of the big auto plants are starting to close. You've got this growing class and racial divide. So it's gonna be a grittier piece. It is going to be more akin to something like out of sight. Or even maybe kind of the limy versus the breezy flash of something like ocean's eleven but the cast just like with ocean's eleven is also a big big reason to see this movie and i guess clooney jack fully himself danny ocean himself was originally set to star and had to back out due to the pandemic but listen to this cast even without clooney.

"It definitely helps and most patients by a few months, we can lower their dose and get him off it completely, usually and And is the reason that he had improvement in his pain almost right away, kind of what you were saying Dr Lo Giudice about how he's he's had the issue for such a long time. Is that or is it just depends on the patient. It does depend on the patient in the end how their pain is expressed. But Ron obviously did not live with that pain with an amputated leg for the same time, but he had virtually the crush syndrome that we often see related. To that long term pain. Um and Ron has been exceptional in his recovery. Like Dr Del Toro said Patients who have traumatic amputations typically start to improve relative to their blinded peers from that study by about three months, That's when things typically calm down. Frequency and intensity of symptoms go down, and when I see them at intervals, I'm giving them the same instructions that his clinic will about doing the therapies with desensitization and mirror exercises so that their brain sends signals even to those little areas of muscle. I reconnected Make that a healthy connection instead of letting the phantom or just chronic nerve symptoms kind of staying there present mind and so, Ron once you had the imputation you've been working with Dr Del Toro with your prosthetic. How has that been going? Prosthetic is it's had its pickups. Um I mean, as the stump continues to shrink, you know you gotta add socks toe make it fit paper. Well, then, when you get to a certain ply Don't you get upto 10 or 13 Fly Assad to make the sock. It fit tight. Then you have to have a new socket made on every time you have a new socket made. It always seems like there's been a little quirk with it. You know, they got to reheat the thing up and put a little dividend it here or tweak it there. So that's just something I got used to there working right now on trying to get My final prosthetic. Um It's sending me good, which We're working on it. This one here has a couple of issues, but Hello, Kelsey prosthetics there. They're going to get it right, Brian and there. He's pretty devoted, making the things steal good, So he's He's very dedicated. And he he ain't going to give up. Which is good. That's what you want. Yeah. So Dr Del Toro's this pretty common What runs describing on Ben with the TMR therapy or this nerve transfer therapy. Has this changed the way that People have been able to use their prosthetics, definitely for especially with respect to upper extremity amputations. We've noticed that the pain is markedly improved after a few months, and they're able to tolerate wearing the prosthesis. I'm really excited in the future that one of the primary reasons in addition to treating the Phantom pain is we can use these sites. Isa Bio amplifier to power. The prosthetic hand s so I think that's going to be something down the road. We're going to see very shortly. And this this sock issue that run had mentioned for lower extremities. Is that something that that's pretty common? Yeah, most when someone has an amputation of Leg and even the arm but the leg because it's big and bulky compared to the arm. They go through changes of the residual lend changes in size shape as it shrinks. And so the socket that's the little the sort of tubular bucket that the Limb sits in that changes and has to accommodate changes of the residual limb and eventually, like Ron said, it has to be completely re fabricated. So, Ron, how is life now? How is you know? Now you're a couple years from mere amputation and the therapy. How Howard, How have things been? Things that things have been pretty good. I mean, just just not being in pain. Every day has been a godsend. I'm sure. Um, I can I can do. The only thing I can do is I can't run anymore. But I'm too old and I have to do that. But you're back to work run. Oh, yeah. I've been back to both my jobs both jobs. Yeah, I went back to both my jobs. And so I work about 70 hours a week between the two jobs. Why do you work so much Run? You need to take it easy. You've had a lot going on in your life. Well, I'm I'm a mutant. And I'm not, You know, that's that's just the way it is. I mean, I've worked. I've worked two jobs. Most all my adult life gets used to it. But I can. I can write a petal bicycle. I can ride my motorcycles. I can drive standard transmission cars. Um, so there's really nothing that I haven't been able to do. The only thing is with the artificial leg. When I'm going up and down ladders. I have to actually kind of look at my foot. Mm. I have it on the next step, because I don't feel it. I got it. So I have to be careful on ladders. But I'm sure you other than that. And so these are all things you've been able to do now that you weren't able to do before you had the amputation and the nerve transfer therapy is that correct? At least without Right. The only difference was, you know, there was pain involved in everything that I did before And now there is now There is no pain. You and I have a couple amputee buddies that they tell me about phantom pains and And all the hell that they got to go through. And and then they start cussing at me when I tell him now I got no family. Tell them to call Dr Lu Judas and Dr Del Toro. Yeah, I told him I've told them to call him But I don't know I get it. So, speaking of Ron just in our last minute here for anyone who has undergone an amputation or who knows someone who's had an amputation or deals with this pain that you had prior to the amputation. Do you have any advice for them or anything? You can tell them based on the experiences That you've had. Just never give up. Um lots of people say that there's a lot of pain involved in it. Um I didn't believe it. But, you know, I lived in pain for so long. I figured what the hell Just lock that thing off and let's see what it is. And I was really surprised that having a leg amputated didn't hurt as much as I thought it was gonna. I mean, I I'd heard myself crashing motorcycle. Before then what? Having the leg amputated, But and you just never give up And you do what the doc says. That desensitizing stuff where you slapped that's not out of the stump and keep the pizza thing. Um I don't know what Cox said. But it just it keeps things alive or woke up and doing what they're supposed to do down there. You desensitize the stump or something. And I did all that. And Now, you you gotta watch the skin. You gotta be really careful about keeping the skin clean and keeping sweat off it. That's the biggest thing I found is I can't let my stump get really sweaty. Which it does inside the liner does that causes issues so when it's really hot out, I end up taking everything off my leg three or four times a day and dry in the stump off and dry in the liner off. Because if it swims and sweat, you're just asking for trouble. Well, it sounds like you're the perfect patient run. You're doing all the right things. I'm sure Dr Del Toro and actually, Judas are very happy to hear all these things You're saying I'm pretty far from perfect. You know, there's nothing nothing's gonna keep me down. I can tell you that, so I just I do whatever Whatever the doctors tell me to do. I've done And so far everything is working out. I mean, I'm I'm living proof that you can have a leg amputated and still do your jobs like you did before. That's fantastic. Well, thank you so much for telling us your story, Ron. And best of luck to you and your two jobs and 70 hours a week and keep on keeping on my friend, okay? Okay, I will. I will do that. Thank you. Of course. Thanks for joining us and please join us shortly. For our next segment. New knowledge can change everything. A single life, an entire community the future.

"And, of course, he's also make patients either sometimes feel drowsy or affect their memory. Certainly can affect their ability to perform skilled labor, Um in in, In addition, if it is related to a lower extremity that pain being triggered by use of the prosthetic Can limit their ability to use their prosthetic whether it's walking or driving or standing at a job where I've had some patients tell me they could only really wear while they drive. But the second they're done. They take it off, and that's because of the nerve. That's Being compressed by the prosthetic current situation. So Dr Del Toro, How does this affect? I can only imagine it significantly affects people's quality of life When they are experiencing this type of pain. How dramatic must that be for them? Yes, it could be very dramatic. Particularly it's worse for people with upper limb amputations, arm amputations, the lower extremity or the leg amputations. Generally, those patients can tolerate process is pretty well. But the arm amputations didn't have a much more problematic time with both the residual limb pain in phantom pain and which makes it difficult to wear the prosthesis and then Difficult to use it and Dr Legit it's Why is that? Why is that is the pain more significant in patients who've had an upper extremity amputation than a lower extremity? You know, that's that's a question. We don't have the answer to it. Maybe because of how much of the brain is act is dedicated to that. We do have a large percentage of brain dedicated even your hand function. And and while um you know our feeder certainly how we get from point a to point B. We interact with the world with our hands, and it occupies a large percentage of our of our cerebral cortex and function so it with that absent feedback loop of Ah, the hand that's working. Telling our brain what it's doing. It seems that those signals getting amplified pretty quickly on, I think also is Dr Del Toro mentioned with the upper extremities. Usually it's related to a trauma rather than a vascular, or, um, diabetes related issue and traumatic amputations in general, especially those we know that have been suffered by our soldiers in the war theater. They tend to have a higher rate overall of having nerve type pain afterwards. And so how typically do you treat this? You'd mentioned narcotic pain medications. Obviously, we all know about the open opioid epidemic and trying to decrease the use of narcotic medication. So what is we'll talk in the next segment about this newer, innovative therapy that your group is doing? But what is the traditional way for years and years that we've used to treat these This residual limb in phantom limb pain that obviously affect so many amputees. Yeah. Sometimes you know if the soft tissue around the end of the limb is inadequate, or maybe doesn't have enough patting that can be revised Surgically. Sometimes that even mean shortening the limb, which, as Dr Del Toro said, is not ideal. Otherwise, like Dr Martin said, finding those nerves and trying to bury them. Whether it's in the upper extremities. Lower extremity was the traditional method because we didn't have a lot else to do with it. Sometimes there are devices that have been implanted ways to chemically, um, sterilize that nerve. But all of them have usually proven to have some x unacceptable rate of recurrence. Are there other types of medications that typically are prescribed Dr Del Toro for patients with chronic This phantom limb, a residual limb pain that are not narcotic pain medications that you've given. Yes, we use a lot of non opioid medications that occasions one called gabapentin. That's a fairly common drug. Most of the medications are either derivatives from anti depressants or anti seizure medicines. And how effective are those in in treating these? I mean, you mentioned is such a high prevalence of this. So how effective are those medications in treating that? Typically, they could be fairly effective. Usually, What I tell patients is it can lower the intensity and or frequency. Um, I also try to use in conjunction with that non pharmacologic or none medication measures like desensitizing and also there's something called Mirror therapy, which the therapist can teach patients how to do On. So I usually try to treat the phantom pain with sort of a multimodal type of therapy. What is the desensitization therapy that you mentioned? How does that work, so that's simply using different textures. On the end of the limb. We start with just something very softly condition use their own hand. Or the therapist hand on then building two different textures. And essentially what it's doing, or what we think is doing is sending messages to the brain saying, Hey, the limp stops here. The Phantom isn't there anymore and then the mirror therapy. Is that a similar kind of idea but using visual cues, or how does that work exactly? The mirror therapy Unfortunate. I wish I could show someone but imagine if you can. If you have an amputation, let's say Of your left hand. What you do is you point the mirror towards the right hand and let's say your experience. You're experiencing a cramp in the left hand. It's the phantom hand. But if you point the mirror and the right hand And simulate that cramp and then open and close your hand that believe the cramp Exactly how successful are these? I mean, that's amazing that that you provide that those things multimodal therapy. How successful has it been? You know if we started early, we've had fairly good success. But if it's started, it's started later. It's probably not a successful so I would say it could be pretty good, but we have to do it early on, and we have to get something. In terms of sort of a regular regimen that the patient continues to do. And does it depend on the type of amputation they've had as well? Does that influence how successful of therapy is there? Not there. Does it more the timing like you said, Well, I think the timing is certainly important. I do think that probably upper extremities might respond to it. Um, somewhat better if we could do it early on, if we could be more consistent just because his doctoral a Judas mentioned the representation in the brain for the upper extremities so much more likely than in the foot or leg. Fantastic. Well, thank you all so much for everything you do for patients at M C W and join us shortly for our next segment where we will meet one of your patients. Whether you.

No Going Back to Normal with Guillermo del Toro, Zack Arnold and Laine Trzinski"
"Welcome to our podcast. It's where we asked some of the entertainment industry's brightest minds how Hollywood might reinvent itself as it comes out of the pandemic coming up filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. But first, we ask our guests in every episode, what they would do to fix Hollywood and we've talked with actors, directors, executives, and writers. But, what about the people on the frontlines the below the line workers as they're called in the business, they do vital work behind the scenes and they have a lot to say about what needs to change Hollywood is going to thrive after the pandemic members of the gig economy people that are creative professional's in. Hollywood, we're essentially chewed up and we are spit out. We are treated like we are widgets we are commodities that can be replaced. That's Zach Arnold he's a film and TV editor. He's worked on shows like empire burn notice and glee he got a lot of attention for a blog post he wrote about what could happen when production resumes the title Dear, Hollywood? We don't WANNA go back. To normal normal wasn't working. It had come from me having hundreds of conversations with people that all said the same thing because of the pandemic I had this immense amount of self awareness of how much I hated my life before all this started. Now that I'm not driving I realized how much I hated my commute now that I'm not working eighteen hours, I realized how much time I lost with my children and I received hundreds upon hundreds of responses I'm still getting them, and I still can't sift through all of them. Arnold's blog is called optimize yourself and gives advice about work life balance, which is really important in an industry that is notorious for grueling hours with no guarantee of steady employment. Arnold shares a story that he heard from film editor Walter Merch, he worked on the Godfather and apocalypse. Now, it was a famous story back in the mid to late seventies about a film that was vastly over budget and had very tight deadlines and everybody was just getting pushed to the limit with twenty hour days and they went to one of the heads of post production at Universal Studios and said, we have to do something about these demands. Everybody is dropping like flies and the response was get more flies. Nothing has changed in the last forty years. It's all about everybody having to create a miracle such that today's Miracle Dust becomes tomorrow's expectation and whatever it takes however many people it takes to figure this out they throw people at the problem and as soon as somebody can't deliver anymore they find somebody else that will and I think this is a systemic issue that needs to change, and if ever there was a time to figure it out I think it's right now the most immediate problem with that get more flies solution is that if someone on test positive for coronavirus, it isn't simply a matter of replacing that person one infected crew member could shut down an entire production. And the safety protocols that you need to prevent that that requires time and attention and money. So what we can't do a separate, the conversation of safety from the conversation of ours because the two are inextricably linked. If you're going to have a safer set, you need to have people that are healthy that have strong immune systems that are not sleep deprived. That are working regular hours. I don't know why it has gotten to a point where. We do work such long hours when honestly to have any sort of life, we shouldn't Laney trubisky is one of the many industry gig workers who read Zak's blog post she's a hairstylist and she's been in the business since nineteen ninety-three. But back in March when the pandemic hit her work stopped Gosh, it's just been ups and downs my feelings change every single day I'm not sure if I even willing to remain in the film business. Because the film business, we had before very stressful and was very hard on a lot of families and people and things have to change their for sure the hours for her makeup teams some of the longest onset they have to be there before the actors arrive and can't leave until the actors are done. Laney says the norm are fourteen or sixteen hour days, and she has worked for twenty four hour days in her career, but she's hopeful. Things will get better. There's so much time entailed in getting our disinfecting right before we even get to work and get to working on the actors that the film business is going to have to slow down I. Don't think it has a choice anymore, and I, think it will be beneficial for all of us. Laney's work requires her to be on set but people like Editors Zach? Arnold. Well, they can do a lot of their work from home. As long as their bosses sign off, just had the conversation this week with an assistant editor who was told that in order for them to be able to keep their job, they have to work in the office and they have to go into a screening room with ten or fifteen directors and producer. They can take notes because that's just the way that it is in its quote unquote impossible to. Work from home we've now learned that's not the case and people are just making these excuses number one because they don't want to put in the effort or number two because they don't Wanna spend the money but guess what disruption is uncomfortable, it is painful but this is the point where we're going to have to fix these issues because you can't just say to somebody sorry informed the standards or we're. Going to hire somebody else while it might have been possible in the past for the people doing the hiring to point to a pile of resumes and say, if you don't do this job, someone else will arnold says that's changing. Now there's nobody on that stack because nobody's willing to go in under these circumstances and that is why I think Cova such an inflection point for post for Hollywood generals that. Before whenever we've thought about what are the consequences? Well, it's going to be really long days and I'm going to be really sleep deprived and something might happen. But what are the chances now we're literally talking about losing our lives if we do this wrong and I think that is the big change that we're seeing just emotionally the groundswell is people saying your entertainment is not worth me giving my life.

Hellboy talk with Tim
"Are seeing more of change. I think in response to books like Hell Boyer Black Hammer. Where because there is a firm time line and things are happening characters have to react to the things that are happening even if they don't have full context for what's happening so that's what you like about hell boy be. Pr General. Think helpful like you said Houston's Gone Yeah Houston's gone what are you GonNa do hell boy died? What are we going to do? And that's another thing stopped me please. If I'm going off the rails in the world of hell boy. Bpd WHAT HAVE YOU? Death is final unless it isn't and what I mean by that is when like okay but speculate for just a second over. I'm going to spoil recent events in Batman that's okay. I'll put spoiler at the beginning. The Alfred was killed by Bain in Batman a couple months ago Alfred. Dying is a huge deal. It's a very good story. I'll be really hard pressed to say in five years. We're not going to have comics with Alfred. M I think we'll see Alfred Comeback in the hell boy world if there was a a character analogous to Alfred. If he died he'd be dead. There's only been three characters I can think of who haven't stayed dead One of them is Huma Hunky list which is hard work as say I can read it forever. A monkey lists named Roger. Who's liveability is questionable? At best the other two and I could be wrong as well like I'm not concrete giving you information but This based off the best of my recollection the the other two characters would be Rasputin. Who is the main villain and Hell boy himself and when hell boy is brought back it's not his choice. There was There was a thing that I want to say. Scott Allie who was an editor and a writer on BP said is If he said death is final and things will break and if things are repaired they will still remain broken. So if you like break glass table you can put that glass table back together. It's not going to be as strong as it was. And that's kind of a tenant and B P R D if we're gonNA break it we can put it back together but it's not gonna be the same as a storyteller in a fan of of character the way hell boy and it's related books handle stakes is so it's so unlike anything else you're gonNA find in modern pop culture and he loves. Mike loves the supernatural world. Because I hadn't read hell boy before but I read Joe Gholam which is one of my aches works and it has a very supernatural tinder taste to it for lack of a better word but he really loves that supernatural world when I was reading up about how he came up with hell boy and the Supernatural. In general he started. Reading Brahms stroker's Dracula and just got sucked into the all. The supernatural world and missed. Go along with that and even see that. In Gotham by gaslight. Yeah I think that's where he got a lot of this inspiration because like you said. Eprdf just kind of a supernatural monster story arc on each in how he tries to solve this mystery so to speak. But I really like those like you said the BP because they're short. In general. At least the ones I read are fairly short. They're kind of wins a call because they take place in the past share. Well it's it's interesting because Mike men ULA has trusted so many people with his world. Geoff Johns has written for PR. D- we've got Chris. Roberson does a lot of stuff Scott. Allie Gabriel Bah and Fabio Moon. Who ARE TWINS? They've done some work on a book called. B P R D vampire. Let's just phenomenal. It's so good Abe Sapien had his own series for awhile and there were another set of twins that were working on the art in that and their names escape me off hand but pitch perfect. They're wonderful the those twin they're now working on Lucifer for DC like the the Black Label Sandman books but It's just so good There's a horror comic called Herro county that's written by. Cullen Bunn the art and that is done by Tyler Crook and there was a tiny little bit of animosity because Tyler Crook was the second main artists on E. P. R. D. And when he went over to do Harrow County kind of left He left the crew in a bit of a bind and everybody was a little upset but also he's doing the work of his career on. Harrow. County That's how we got Lawrence Campbell as the main artist on be prd through throughout the run of like hell boy traditionally the art in that is either Mike Minneola or Mike. Minneola esque yes. There's a there's a very good so pretty still pretty rough so to speak but it I think it fits in his universe. Yeah it absolutely does. If we're not getting Mike Manolo. We're getting somebody like Dunkin for Griego who has a very manolas style over. Mvp what we got was a completely different visual. Take and we had guy. Davis was the main artist for play frogs. Hell on earth. We saw Tyler Crook and then going into the devil you know we had Lawrence Campbell. And they bright. They brought a very interesting like real world. Visual take on what Mike Minneola drew as more than esoteric stylized monster world and just like injected it with like this fierce ground level realistic take in it so to to see how Lake Dunkin for draws Abe sapien versus how Mike Minneola draws EP and versus. How Tyler Crook Draws Abe sapien versus? It's so it should not narrative Lee speaking work. It shouldn't do it Michael did a whole issue of of that. We have a painted issues that are done by just masters of their art. And it's it's so wonderful and and just the fact that you can have these visual styles who divorced from divorce from the words divorce from the writing you would never know that just because this character looks a little more cheesy in. This character. Looks a little more realistic. There is no. There's no what if in the hell boy universe whenever you read a story As far as the comics the short stories are a little different. There's pros and all that but we're talking about the comics there's not Lak- what if Abe Sapien was fighting in World War. Two like it's there's none of that every everything you read actually happens To those characters in the world of hell boy and having such unique creative voices all working in tandem to tell this one epic it should not by any right work and if it does work it should not work nearly as well as this does and it is so much fun it does. It's a fun a fun book. Speaking of you talked about Abe Sapien. What is your favorite character from hell boy? Do you bomb or is it a cop out answer cop out answer and then maybe might cop out. Answer is Every every major comic book company I believe has a trinity of some kind so. Dc Has Batman. Wonder Woman Superman Marvel's got Captain America. Thor and iron man You could argue. That image has spawned in which blade and someone else that I can't think of offhand For Hell boy it's definitely you've got an expansive universe of characters but it comes down to Abe Liz in hell boy and if I get one of those three I'm going to have a good time and be in for completely different reasons there so three very different characters In the in the Gemmell del Toro movies. They had a romance between. Liz and hell boy does not exist in the comics. That's not a thing If anything Liz and Abe kind of have an unspoken thing that nobody ever acts on and that's kind of cool because you've got fire and water and that's like a neat neat thing like that. Yeah it's really fun. But if you were like gun to my head me pick a character man. It's GonNa be a tie between it's GonNa be a tie between Captain Daimyo from be PRD. Who is in the newest? Hell boy movie. He's the the wear Jaguar. I love him or Johann Johann Krauss whose an echo plasma ghost in a in a sealed suit don't make can't choose between those two a close honorable mention would be roger but I can live without roger it's fine but But no I love and that goes to the military guy in me I love. Diageo is a traditional military guy and he is just he's hired basically to militarize the PRD and get them to work as a cohesive unit and he just comes in and he's like all right. Look I'm done I'm done like I cannot handle. Whatever it is you guys are doing. I need you all. Just cut your drama. And let's do this. And he just has no time for any of the. He's he's not ignorant to the fact that he's working with monsters he's he gets to the point where he's like. I don't care that you're monsters. We have work to do. And I absolutely love that. And then Johann who was voiced by Seth McFarland and the second held boy movie the The Golden Army In the comics he is so flawed that he is. He's the most fun to read. Because you you just like him you just like him and he makes some really dumb stupid mistakes but they're mistakes that you could see yourself making and you see some emphasis me speaking of myself when I say you but I see so much of myself in him that when he makes a mistake. I'm like own own. No real world content is one hundred percent what I would do and we would all be in so much trouble So I absolutely adore the dichotomy of those two and they don't get a wall but No it's my it's A. It's a complete cop-out I answered it twice with no actual answer. That's okay. I like the fact that like you said it is kind of whimsical. Boys Got A. Would you say it dry sense of humor? I would say Ri- I think is is not so much dry it's like. He knows he knows what he's just so he's just kind of he's perpetually forty and he could you imagine being being against. I'm in my late thirties. Man If you just I would be unstoppable if I had energy and I see hell boy as just perpetually old enough to know better young enough to not care and he kind of can get away with

Hellboy talk with Tim
"Did you. I read hell boy win did I I. I've I read hell boy when I was. I really getting into non Superhero comics when I was in the military and it was around the first time. I want to say it was around the time. The first Guillermo del Toro movie came out. Two Thousand Four. I believe Man I'm old and it's very interesting too because hell boy. I came out in nineteen ninety four. Yes and so thinking thinking of. It's ten years and that was an accomplishment And now here we are twenty twenty two having a relevant conversation about L. Boy. That's back issues to get in. Because he's ninety two thousand four win. The movie came out. They had They had reprinted all of the trades in the traditional red format that you've seen on elbow trades red banner. Banner across the boy. Yeah and there was a bunch of stickers like hell boy now in theaters or something like that but I picked up the first volume of that and I was like well. I'll check it out and it didn't resonate with me at all. I didn't like it. I didn't like the art I didn't and at the time to I was at a point where I was defining like. I'm not going to go off on a tangent about belief systems or whatever but I was I was kind of going on On my own kind of personal spiritual journey and I didn't like the idea of taking a demon and putting it in a spotlight and I had a real issue with a boy from and it just kind of bothered me and also I was a child in able to discern. I I was I was an adult. You know what I mean I I was. I was still trying to define what my moral compass is in relationship to the entertainment that I took in And just at the time hell boy was not right for me just to clarify you saw the movie. And then he picked up the comic books. Okay Yep actually I think I think I bought the comic in anticipation of the movie but it was because the movie was coming out that I was GONNA go see us out so you weren't really impressed that much. I didn't land with me. It wasn't at the time I was into more of a more of a clean style And Mike Manila's art is is arguably anything but like clean lines in that was just just my preference at the time like I was really into the Geoff. Johns Teen Titans Which had a much much more traditional line work and again. This was at a time where I'm venturing out of superheroes for the first time And it was it was kind of interesting so hell boy has been a thing that I was aware of but I'd always associated the comics as being not nearly as good as the movies It doesn't help that Gamble del. Toro's one of my favorite directors of all time but let's fast forward a little bit. I picked up. B P R D play frogs and that is basically like a four volume omnibus said like it was the the hell boy at one point breaks off from the B. Prd that'd be prd becomes. Its own thing and be. Prd's interrupt his bureau for Paranormal Research. And Defense yes those for those of you. That may not know. Now I'll get into it but I read. Bp plague of frogs volume one. Because it didn't have specifically I was like well. I didn't wasn't interested in hell boy but I was kind of interested in in the fish guy kind of interested in Liz. Who's the fire starter? And I was kind of intrigued. What does that mean when Hell Boys not around? What is that book? And that I fell in love with Hell Boy. The hell boy world through eprdf bpd was written for me And there was a time right towards the tail end of plague of frogs where I hadn't read any hell boy comics but not hell boy specifically but I but I I've been eating up. Bp already so much At that point to the hell boy trades and this is still true to an extent are in and out of print so sporadically that. It's difficult to get everything so. Bp or something. I was pretty familiar with going into last year. Twenty nine hundred twenty eighteen man. I'm so old time. Time is all time impressive so when the new movie came out eighteen nineteen asa last year's leading into last year so the tail and a twenty eighteen darkhorse started releasing the hell boy omnibus editions. And what those are four soft cover books that encompass hell boy from his first issue in the seat of destruction all the way through the The hell boy in hell macro series and then they also released a couple short story collections. And a few other things here and there and they also released Be Prd the devil you know which kinetically ends the story that began in Nineteen Ninety Four. So it was. It was a very big year for hell boy in two thousand nineteen and it was the first time that for fan like me. I was able to actually sit down and read it. And and with the context of of being a discerning adult you know in my in my mid to late thirties versus versus. You know more or less. An intellectual young adult in my early to mid twenties approaching the material was completely different. Avs Very very very very interesting I still maintain for me personally be. Prd is the superior book but in IT IS THE HELL. Boy Universe in Hell. Boy is the crux of it And so I do. Identify myself as a hell boy fan. Do you went from two thousand four. But basically didn't get into hell boy until twenty eighteen. Oh Boy Himself the proper what about be. Prd Though captured your attention that maybe the hell boy that you picked up into two thousand four. That didn't so I've thought about this a lot and my elevator pitch for the B. PRD is For people who come into the store and are like Oh why should why should I read this book? B P R d from me is the X. Files if they were investigated by monsters. It's really fun. It's just bizarre cases. And instead of having mouldering scully who were you know very human characters? One's one's a rational skeptic and the other isn't in this instead this time we have. There's a wear Jaguar. There's a fish guy. There's a fire starter. There's a humongous Monkey lous excuse me As well as a few a few other regular like every day soldiers thrown into the mix as well and it's very relatable versus for me. Hell boy that the thing that the thing that separates me from hell boy is. I'm not a demon from hell regardless of what my mother will tell you and I wasn't around for World War Two didn't fight Nazis. I didn't I didn't have like I don't have that worldview but what I do have is a knowledge for me specifically. I know this isn't going to be true for everybody but I. I know what it's like to live on a military base. I know what it's like to have that structure. There was a point of view. I had from that and the inner struggles like how everybody in the unit relies on each other. But also sometimes you just can't stand each other and also there's work to do not to mention the the drama in the book is fantastic. Unlike most comics like you go pick up a marvel comic right if you go in and pick up the newest issue of Captain America. Captain America is that time kind of flows so every time you read Captain America. He was thought out. I want to say about ten to fifteen years ago. Regardless O- doesn't matter if you read if you read captain America in the sixties. He was thought out. You know he was thought out in the sixties there but because it was you know. He was in the ice for twenty years but as the decades go on instead of being in the ice for twenty years using the answer. Thirty Years Forty Years Fifty Years. Whatever and we don't directly talk about how. Captain America was thought out in the sixties. Because he wasn't anymore and boy and you know when I say in hell boy the Hello Universe to include. Cpr D to include Crimson Lotus. All that stuff dates are sat and they're generally set the year that the book comes out so seed of destruction number one came out. It was nineteen ninety four and so that event actually introduced us to the concept of these frog monsters and it was supposed to be just a one time thing in the year two thousand. I WANNA say two thousand two thousand one the first issue of be. Prd came out and so from there. That's that's what started. What's now called the plague of frogs storyline and that brought back the frog people who were introduced in Nineteen ninety-four in Nineteen ninety-four. We have hell boy Liz. And Abe in two thousand those characters of aged and so we go into twenty twenty. Now I guess if we look at twenty nine thousand nine I believe was the tail end of the devil you know from. Eprdf was wrapping up everything. But Liz in that is a middle aged woman. She's not she's you know she's a bit more mature she's a bit older and the artwork represents that in the way she's experienced her life has has represented that as well and so one of the things that I think is really cool and I forgot where my point was but one of the things I like about the elbow universe. Is that the elevator. Pitch for the elevator stopped a long time ago. But it's there's a very real sense of time and there's a word I'm looking for. The stakes are real. There's there's a there's A. There's a very real sense. That time is a factor Life is precious and and things have to be accomplished or the world's going to

Death Stranding - From Kojima Productions
"On today's episode. We're discussing discussing the video game death stranding which is the latest title from famed game producer. Hideo Kojima and for the playstation four. It released earlier here this month and joining me now is neither who's written about. The game is played the game and he has lots of thoughts on it. Mike thank you for being here. Sure Brett It's good to see in the podcast studio radio. It's been a long time yet has all right. Let's start with The game because it looks absolutely bizarre. I think one of the images that sticks out for a lot of people when they hear the name. Death Stranding is Norman Reedus. A lot of people know from the walking dead holding a baby with no shirt on. Looks Very Weird. What is happening? Yeah it's There's been a lot of interesting thoughts about this game. Since it got teased about three and a half years ago I think it was three but it may have been at the video game awards event I forget I wasn't. I don't think I was there so I saw online anyway. So they've been working on a game. They'd wanted to do a spin. Off of the Silent Hill franchise franchise but that fell through and Kajima left Konami and started his own company. And this is the bank the project they were working working on. So it's a Sifi. I probably a little more than near future but beyond near future And it's another. What are those a post apocalyptic situations and the United States has kind of fallen into disarray? There's been some Explosions is end. There's this thing called there's these astral looking ghoulish things that cause Rainstorms that kill people and all kinds of craziness. I mean it's really hard to explain it But Norman redesigns character is Sam and Sam has some special powers that he he he can come back to life. Which of course is perfect? If you're playing a video game because all they're gonNA die constantly or at least I do and he also also can somewhat since when these Bad guys are called. Bt So I don't know if that for bad things or what so but whenever they're around and he tries to have his guard up. The baby is called B. B. and they're these. I'm not sure I have this totally figured out yet either but they're like beyond fetuses but their unborn babies that are kept in this embryonic fluid type thing you can see through them through the container so you can wave to bb and and try to console bb when you get in trouble but beebe and Sam Create a connection that help them combat the bts as they try to make their way across the. US What your goal is at least initially I'm not very far in the game. I think I may be nine or ten hours into the game and if I understand right. It's like a forty to fifty our game. Your job is to kind of connect connect the US at various outposts like turn the Internet on or whatever and with this futuristic Internet. You have these three D. printers enters. That are all around the country. You could build you know stuff for you. You know all kinds of Supplies and you can build bridges and things like that which gets to the bigger theme of what Kajima says the game is is is a response to modern society. Diety and I don't know if he started out as a political statement but with brexit and trump in the. US says you know we're building walls calls when we should be and cutting ourselves off from others when we should be connecting. So that's you know literally you're connecting the the US in this game so he's are you totally confused now. I'll I'm absolutely confused but it falls in line I think with Kojima and general. Well that's always been the thing about Kojima Jima is. He's best known for the metal gear series which started out in the original Nintendo video game console and his morphed onto other consoles has been his biggest hit but he's gotten a a lot of the same reputation as far as these stories. That are Super Complex into a lot of people very confusing and convoluted How I mean? What's the best comparison Arison for him? I'm thinking in terms of movies in other mediums. He's just a very unique different guy. Well it was a good answer for you and it's very literally Part of the game. Gemmell. Touro is in the game. The the the the Director who did of water and did PAN's labyrinth and other films Gero plays a integral non playable character. Who Helps you along and studies you and help you build your offensive capabilities capabilities. So maybe someone like that. I mean there's definitely an atmosphere created in this game and if you've seen any of del Toro's films there's definitely atmospheres. Atmospheres created In his in his films What's interesting about this game is when you aren't being attacked by the bts you have this photo realistic world you're going through and what's kind of made the game a love it or hate it Thing now it's been out a week and a half or so is your kind of just People joke that you're a Amazon delivery guy you know. Oh you're delivering things and you're running here delivering stuff and get an order and delivering stuff and along the way you fight some things and you and you deliver

Medical Information is opinion based on facts of a crime and should not be interpreted as medical advice or treatment listener discretion is advised welcome to cheer cranberry. I'm Jill and under the disappearance a fifty three year old Charlotte Hughes for her paradise like home home set off an investigation that led to the search for a serial killer in Panama in two thousand ten share had moved with her husband key to Boca del Toro Panama to live out her dream on their own private island but after she keeps separated share was gone in eccentric neighbor taken over her property it turned out that share was not the only missing person in the area. Someone was killing Americans in Panama and taking possession question of their property when all is said and done six Americans had been killed when the killers home was searched police found stolen checkbooks it cards jewelry purses got amunition and gold dental fillings crowns in a glass jar. William Hulbert were North Carolina native known to his victims as wild bill cortes had become well known among Boca Ex Patriots accurate American family of three read disappeared from the area bill and his wife had moved into their home and converted a boathouse into a private bar which they call the Jolly Roger Social Club the bar was decorated with the skull and crossbones flag in it was opened for partying on the weekends but disappearances piled up neighbors decided there was something something wrong. The police came in and discovered bodies buried in shallow graves but by then while bill and his wife were already on the run they fled through Costa Rica and we're finally captured on the Nicaraguan border join us at the quiet end for this stunning tale of theft murder in real estate ate fried after being extradited to Panama while bill confessed to his crimes but showed little remorse for all of the painting caused he would explain in what he did in how he did it but the question of why will forever haunt the left one of his victims so this is my first Panamanian Indian dear our first enemy case I believe absolutely so this is Bell Boa. It's brewed by service Syria Nacional in in Panama kind of the National Bureau of Panama and I'll preface by sands a pretty crappy year okay but the the good news it doesn't have much aroma or taste kind of sweet corn malt that type of stuff may do little herbal but the important thing it served cold and it's nice and Crisp and refreshing. If you've ever been the Panama it's pretty damn hot and humid down there so these these little buddy sled down pretty nicely I nine guess that's about the best I can say for it. Well thanks for the effort recalled science all right thank you. Let's open it up okay. We'll share these the quiet the head end. I hope everybody's not to spoil my some of the other good beers we've had because this isn't what you call good beer but it is sunny and warm. Maybe not as humid as Panama you're so they'll probably be enjoyed in well. It seems like if a beer is not great to get a cold enough. It can still be refreshing and be salvaged for that purpose if nothing else that's what we're looking for. What are you start our story today Dickie Okay so William Jason Hobart was an only child he grew up going going by his middle name Davidson but later in life Hugo by bill his father worked for Farm Machinery Company and he grew up in a nice two story home an highschool bill involved in sports and got very serious about football and bulked up possibly with steroids who knows he married his girlfriend in nineteen ninety eight? Her name was Ryan Dunlap his only eighteen years old they had their first child within a year and into more over the next four years so bill worked as a landscaper year round and Ryan stayed home with children. There were so young and many people were impressed by the amount of responsibility that the couple seemed of taking nine after bills parents divorced the couple move their family into the home or bill grownup taking over the home from his mother but there was talk about building a steroid abuser and again. This is a kid who booked up quite a bit in high school always playing football so that's where the rumors started and they continue and bill seemed abnormally bulky and had a temper those steroid rages we talk about the first sign that may bill wasn't quite right psychologically was when the family dog disappeared bill told Ryan that he wanted to put the dog down even even though his perfectly healthy and good with the kids he never contacted the vet and Ryan believe that shot the dog and dumped his body and this became a belief that was shared throughout the neighborhood. Another local landscaper would say that bill wanted to make a fortune but he didn't want to work for it. That's been my dream. Let's not that uncommon right you wanNA start a business. You do have to be willing to work your ass off what yeah back so inevitably bills landscaping business failed Oh he buttons Elson suits and ties after that and he said that he had political aspirations I don't know where that came from and wanted to hang out with a higher society church even considered running for mayor right but France were beginning to notice that bill was very verbally abusive to Ryan and then another dog disappeared food bill opened a pool hall and build a local TV ad for it but he was really this over the top personality which he is pretty well for whereas business but still he wasn't putting in the hard work and it failed after only a few months in two thousand three Rian Kevin Hoover met bill when he joined the Gym Jim The bodyshop fitness center in Hendersonville Billy Kevin began hanging out together lifting weights working out and bill give them the impression that he was a businessman on his way up even though his ventures were continuing to fail when Kevin Hoover his third bodyshop Jim in two thousand four he he agreed to let bill help manage it so bill could learn about how to run a business. He would even get a salary until he was ready to purchase his own franchise. So these people took command basically yes pretty good con man Dick so he could convince people of things yeah. They were thinking they were going to groom him to eventually have zone franchise. Yes they were helping him out that way twenty year old Laura Michelle Reese was working for the hoover's and she was doing cleaning and light office work at the Gyms uh-huh and Mel decided that he keeper working with him the Third Jim but then things got really weird. Marie Hoover visited the gym and saw that there was no equipment you purchased yet and bill at least an apartment near the gym rather than commute to his family home which was just about forty five minutes away not a horrible commute but then he moved in with Laura Michelle Reese into the apartment then he began sending handwritten notes to Marie telling her to be proud of her white race she threw them away but it did raise some concerns and she talked to her husband Kevin about it bill was also somewhat obsessed with the Sopranos TV show and he would tell Marie that he wanted to become someone like Tony Soprano so kind of a Mafia guy yeah. That's that's a very good aspiration to have. Don't you think so red flag huge yeah yeah so Kevin. Marie managed to explain away bills odd behavior until they were from the bank that some unusual expenses were being charged for the body shop. The bill was Managing Bill had written business checks for new TV a mattress and other not business related items in the amount spent was large. It was be tweeting twenty and twenty five thousand dollars so Kevin did confront bill about this and Bill's wife Ryan found out that bill was is living with Laura Michelle reese around the same time so the couple separated in May of two thousand four and bill. Laura moved away after he was gone. The hoovers learned that bill had not only written unauthorized checks he'd actually contacted a real estate broker about selling Jim that he'd been managing which belonged to Kevin Hoover Hoover so that's the ball there to do that where I guess but he's learning right in a bad way here yeah

If that person punched you in the face what make you back off some might say that getting punched in the nose hurts like unreasonably so and that they would disengage others might argue that it would merely incite their ire after the initial shock kolin would kick in and then make even quicker work of their opponent when it comes to animal attacks the answer to whether a punch to the nose would stop an attack pretty much lies with what kind of animal you're considering punching and let's just make it clear right now that you should do all you can to avoid provoking animal attack and that if you're not being attacked punching any kind of animal is means for admittance into the special hell but that aside let's talk about a few different animals that have a reputation for needing a good stick in the nose and and whether that would actually help save your skin. The shark is the animal. Perhaps most commonly singled out for a defensive sucker punch. The rumor is that a good hard punch to the snout is going to send a shark reeling. There are a couple of problems with this. Though one is that it's super hard to punch anything underwater making dump on the nose pretty unrealistic another issue while shark noses are sensitive their gills and is are much more vulnerable punching one in the nose probably wouldn't do enough damage to stun it and you've got the added problem of needing to get a little too close for comfort to its enormous gaping jaws so perhaps no on punching sharks unless it's actively early and aggressively up in your face your best bet would generally be to swim away quickly and quietly as possible and keep in mind that we're not sharks preferred snacks. They usually approach humans out of curiosity rather than predation another suggested attacker for which a punch in the nose might work bears in many many cases. It's best to play dead around bear if they're just curious or if a mother is defending her cubs playing dead means they'll likely lose interest in you and amble on but it's also certainly appropriate to try to fight off aggressive bear and while it's not a sure thing punching more hitting bear is certainly going to help you fight it off so go go ahead in clocking in the knows if it's absolutely necessary of course the animal that's really going to be useful to punch is one that has a wildly sensitive snout so we present to you the animal it would be most useful to open the knows if it were attacking you. The star nosed mole with one hundred thousand sensory three neurons in its snout. It's extremely sensitive to touch however you'll almost certainly never need to defend yourself from one although they look like creatures out of a gemmell del toro film the star nosed mole is the size of a mouse and way more interested in eating worms than in bothering you today's episode written by kate kirschner and produced by tyler playing brain stuff is the production of iheartradio's how stuff works for more in this and lots of other sensitive topics visitor home planet housed networks dot com and from our podcast my heart radio doesn't iheartradio app apple podcasts or wherever you listen to your favorite shows money vertical of it and i'm jason jason pfeiffer editor in chief of entrepreneur magazine and what we know is this.

The Frame
Katzenberg, Jeffrey Free And Ten Minute discussed on The Frame
"You wanna watch a movie would you rather watch it at home or in a movie theater how about another option watching that film on your smartphone but not all that one's rather in one ten minutes snippet a day that's jeffrey free katzenberg thinking behind his short form mobile video platform currently in the works it's called quimby in the name of short quick bites there's still a lot of questions about how it all work before its launch next year but so far quimby has been able raised more than a billion dollars in drawing some top creative talent laying low way senior tv writer at variety has been looking into what ob excitement is about quitting doesn't launch for almost another year actually it'll come out in april twenty twenty twenty but i think the reason why everybody is so hyped up about it is because you've got to story leaders one from tech meg whitman former e b and hewlett packard ceo and this giant of industry jeffrey katzenberg who was at one time the head of dreamworks and walt disney studios and he's really the reason why people are so excited about it right people are excited about it because he's excited about it people believe in because he believed in it he's been selling the service as eight mobile platform that allows these quick bites which is what could be a short for short form content that'll have premium serialized scripted content unscripted content news news and sports and it'll be released in these five to ten minute chunks daily andy idea is that when you're waiting for coffee or you have a dull moment in your day those times when you're whipping out your phone and you're looking at twitter or facebook or something else and you're just putting around phone instead of doing that you'll go quickly and you'll watch five minutes of a sand rainy horror anthology or ten minutes of an anna kendrick buddy comedy instead so he has raised i think more then a billion dollars to fund this and right now it seems like he has attracted some really interesting talent to make content frequency i was in a van a couple of weeks ago where i ran into antwon fuqua who were a lot of people know from the training day movie he's also made the equalizer with denzel washington and he was producing a movie frequency and he was telling me that it was very attractive even though i think this movie was gonna be caught up into ten minute chunks what is jeffries pitch been to the creative community would be paid responding to well a big part of the appeal for creators is he intellectual property because the way it's format it would be will exclusively license their projects for seven years but after the first two years be rights revert back to beans creators and filmmaker so they'll be able to go and repackage this series they'll be able to hopefully seamlessly thread together all of these five to ten minute chunks of these stories and repackage package them as a feature film as a two and a half hour project but they could then go sell to another service so that's really attractive thing and also again there's just see appeal of katzenberg himself because he has been so successful in this industry i mean an wants so i told me that sitting down with jeffrey katzenberg is like sitting down with the godfather yeah although if you look at some of the movies he made at the walt disney company and some of his animated movies there are some questions about jeffrey storytelling taste will save that conversation for something what is the financial model because a lot of people right now are thinking about disconnecting subscriptions that they might have to their cable or satellite company or who were netflix so how are they trying to position it financially and what do they expect you people so they'll be selling two versions of quip me they'll be ad supported version for five dollars a month and any ad free version for seven dollars a month and it sounds like a small amounts but you also consider that people are i don't know if they're near saturation but there are certainly so many different streaming platforms out there you've got netflix and amazon and who and all of these different subscription services that people are already paying for so that even when you cut the cord you've got sometimes a hefty bill at the end of the month when you combine all these so that'll be a real test will be deceived they can break through that barrier and get people to fork over five to seven bucks a month for this of of course they're bringing some real alias talent and that's where their strength wli again you've got a project from kia motors del toro don cheadle liam hemsworth a you know tyra banks chrissy teagan and you know i think the other question here is also whether there will be on de creator side resale value for them after they were allowed to take their project off of quickly or after they're allowed to repackage their project from could be and sell it to a different platform so if there are detractors in town or at least doubters what would you say is a consistent question that they have about quickly what is gonna be the obstacles to its success there are a couple of different questions that came up in are reporting one of them is do people want this model people were still used to benching on tv these days when you're going to netflix their whole thing is the bench model and it's this also isn't appointment tv it's sort sort of a a daily thing that comes on five ten minutes a day but what if i want to watch the whole movie so in that case do i just wait for a month for all of these daily releases it come on the service and then say binge watch them all anyway on a saturday afternoon a so that's definitely a very unique model that hasn't really been done before another question that people have is people are so used to getting something for nothing specially from a mobile device store people going to be willing to fork over five and seven bucks a month for quickey a get another question is will the viewership justify the cost there are some really high numbers that were being thrown around a believe entrances what's project is gonna cost about fifteen million dollars which is certainly more than you could say for a lot of other short for mobile video out there andy clippings model is subscriptions an ad revenue and that's how they're planning on monetize ing they're stored as a but it'll be interesting to see whether these dubs an ad revenue justify be amount that they're investing

With all these streaming services films knobs have to be in seventh heaven, right right from American public media. This is marketplace tech demystifying the digital economy. I'm jed Kim in for. Molly would. It's Oscar season a time when we celebrate the history of film, but what if you want to actually sit down and watch some classics that was the selling point of one streaming service film struck that AT and T recently shuttered fills drug showcased directors like Fellini, Kurosawa Kubrick. It was the darling of Sinophile for the two years it existed given that streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon seemed to be focused on making their own original content. Could the golden age of streaming actually mean that film history falls through the cracks and Hornets is senior film critic for the Washington Post. She has high level thoughts on the death of film strike and the future of classic film. She says film strike never released its subscriber numbers her best educated. Guess is about one hundred thousand compared to about one hundred and forty million Netflix subscribers that's tiny. But Hornets says the fan base for classic or indie films has. Value beyond sheer size. It's a highly engaged audience. It's a very loyal audience. I mean, they have value. So whether the movies themselves, quote, unquote, don't have monetary value. I would maintain that they do have value. You know, in terms of the people who watch them, and what they are willing to pay to watch them, and it's not just everyday viewers, but also filmmakers who care about access to a rich array of film history the day after films struck announced it was closing. I happen to spend time with Barry Jenkins who won the Oscar a few years ago, his movie moonlight won the Oscar for best picture. He's just out this year with an exquisite movie called spiel street could talk he is an ecstatic student of film, he's constantly reaching back into the cannon into the history of the medium to enlarge and elaborate on his own emerging vocabulary and language and so for someone like him he was Crespi. On that it was going away. Because you know, when you talk about people like Barry Jenkins or Paul Thomas Anderson or Guillaume or del Toro, all of whom came out very very vociferously to support the site a resource like film struck helps these emerging artists to find their voice. And then it's also educating all of us viewers in terms of what they're doing. I think it was sighted of Warner Brothers and their corporate overlord AT and T not to kind of see the value in that. As the new streaming giants court the best in the business to make their original content or today says showing support for the canon of great film could be a hook. I think that's what Netflix has proven this year so aggressively going after people like I'll find so Koran and spending so much on the Oscar campaign for his movie for people like Martin scores says he will these are film lovers. And I mean, I think as they're trying to impress these tours and convince them. To come with them because they love art, and they love or tourism, a show of good faith would be to express your support of this archival legacy work. I mean, I think that could really sway somebody. She says despite the demise of film strike. There are other ways to stream vintage movies art house and cult films and other non mainstream cinema. There's a subscription service fan door. Also, canopy with a K available with your public library card and the library of congress L O, C dot gov. I got admit I'm not a major film buff. So I asked Hornets for suggestions on what to watch something. That's not a superhero movie, she suggested not a film, but a TV show on stars. And I kind of freaked out. Can I tell you what I'm obsessed with it's it's it's not even the one. I'm obsessed with speaking of stars is counterpart. I'm totally caught up on her part. We did this last week. I just don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm beside myself. I it's so good. Yeah. There's out. I've pretty good taste. I'm jed Kim. And that's marketplace tech. This is a PM.

KCRW's Hollywood Breakdown
Netflix cracks a window
"KCRW sponsors include net. Flicks presenting the love me when I'm dead chronicling the last years of Orson Welles life the genius behind citizen. Kane. It's wildly entertaining while full of nuance and depth directed by Morgan Neville, only on net. Flicks. November second I'm Kim masters, and this is the Hollywood breakdown joining me as Bellamy of the Hollywood reporter, and Matt Finally I mean, we sort of expected this for a while but net flicks finally finally is cracking after trying to get into the awards race in a real way for a while. Now, they really want this, and they have in a very I think serious contender in quirones Roma, which is a black and white film very much in art house film. I would save as having seen it very much a film, ironically that you would wanna see on a big screen. You cannot make a movie with Cuaron if you don't bend or an artist like Koran if you don't somewhat bend to his will. So netflix. Has said they will let this movie run exclusively in theaters some theaters for awhile, it's a concession and their couple of other films in this category. But let's focus on the big one for now couple of other films in this category. They're going to allow this with it's a concession. I'm not sure that it's a really fabulous concession. Well. It is a big deal that Netflix, which has steadfastly stuck to this party line that we are releasing movies on Netflix worldwide the same day that we're putting them in a few theaters. That's the key here. They're moving three movies from the exclusive day and date on Netflix to invaders for about two or three weeks in advance and a few theaters. And the message here is that Netflix wants to play ball with elite talent and get into that Oscar race, which they have been unable to do. And is this going to make a difference? I don't know. But it is a big concession from. Netflix to go away from what they? I have said is their model all on net flicks to giving this the window which will allow those audiences to see it in theaters. I'll tell you what I think I think that net. Flicks made such a fetish of this. And I understand they were launching something, but movies are movies, in some cases. It really does matter as I said Romans one of them, I think that they made such a stink about this that certain theaters don't want anything to do with running their movies. They still don't want that relationship. And I also think this is a small number of theaters fifty around the world, I think is the number, and I'm just guessing you've got an otter like Koran and he's not the only one that is going to seem like not enough. Now, you could say, you know, this will be was made without Netflix money and net flicks, then acquired it in in a way made it possible for the world to see it. And you could say many people do it's better to be seen on screens. You know, more people will see it this way. However, I suspect that not only will the theater is still largely shunned it, but an artist like. Warren will say, you know, this really is not enough. And next time. I'm not doing it. Well, not if he wins best picture, which is gonna pour millions of dollars into campaign to win him best picture, and they believe that by putting it in theaters in New York and Los Angeles and couple of other big cities. They will have a better shot at winning best picture for this guy. And you know, it's it's the push pull it's a huge global audience that Netflix can provide. But they don't give you that theatrical push that many filmmakers want, and to me, the most interesting thing here is Netflix is drawing a line. They're saying these three movies are worthy of the releases. But if I'm a filmmaker that has a movie at Netflix, I say to my agent, where's my theatrical release where why am I not getting what L fonds Roan or the Coen brothers or the Sandra Bullock movie? They're putting in theaters why why am I not getting that? So you're going to see I think people like Guillermo del Toro who has a movie project. Net flicks. Michael bay whose movies are gigantic transam erred. But but Michael bay is used to getting his transformers movies in four thousand riders on opening weekend in the US, and he's gonna make net looks movies. You know, you don't think Michael Bay's going to ask for the window, and yeah, I do actually. And I think that if it does win. Yes. Maybe he will be satisfied, but it may not win because net flicks. Thank you, Matt. Thank you. That's not felony aditorial director of the Hollywood reporter. He joins me this Monday at two o'clock on the business.
