We are here at eTail Palm Springs and seeing and hearing the latest and greatest in e-commerce and retail. Question: Do you need to choose between AI and human recommendations as a customer?

Bird-Bola-Demic: Pandemics in Film 1:00:28

for 4 dager siden1:00:28

1:00:28

Fictional disease outbreaks have haunted our screens for nearly a century, revealing far more about our society than any microscopic villain. From class warfare aboard a cholera-stricken ship in 1939's "Pacific Liner" to the eerily prescient "Contagion" that rocketed to popularity during COVID-19, pandemic narratives capture our deepest fears and societal fault lines. What makes these stories uniquely terrifying is the invisible nature of the threat. Unlike floods or fires that can be seen and avoided, disease spreads silently through our communities, creating a special kind of paranoia. Our fight-or-flight responses falter against enemies we cannot see, and pandemic films brilliantly exploit this universal vulnerability.…

His strange case predated many of the iconic abduction narratives we know today, including the well-known experiences of Betty and Barney Hill and Travis Walton.

Lost Episode: Jesus in Comics 39:41

for 11 weeks siden39:41

39:41

A lost holiday episode from a year ago has been found! What if Jesus Christ was more than just a historical figure, and instead, a modern-day superhero navigating the colorful pages of Marvel and DC Comics? We unravel this intriguing concept by examining how the iconic figure has been portrayed across major comic book universes. From the classic biblical narratives in DC's "Picture Stories from the Bible" to Marvel's bold 1990s adaptations, we speculate whether these portrayals were reactions to cultural waves like the Satanic Panic or simply creative retellings aimed at specific audiences. With a playful spirit, we reimagine biblical figures donning capes and tights, transforming age-old stories into superhero sagas.…

Classic: Jesus in India 51:01

for 11 weeks siden51:01

51:01

What if Jesus moonlighted as a globetrotting rock star during his "lost years?" Buckle up for a hilarious odyssey through history and imagination as we stitch together tales of Jesus' rumored adventures in places like Japan and India, with a touch of musical flair. Imagine Jesus, or Issa as he's sometimes called, strumming a guitar on the Silk Road, earning the moniker "six-string savior" in a mythical band of holy rollers. We playfully reimagine Jesus' journey from boyhood to spiritual rockstar, studying under Buddha's tutelage in India, and perhaps even jamming with Siddha yogis. The mysterious "Scrolls of Isa," possibly hidden away in Tibetan monasteries, spark our curiosity about the intriguing intersections of mythology and reality, all wrapped in comedic banter and whimsical musings. Our playful exploration doesn't stop there. We ponder connections between Christian and Eastern traditions, speculating on cultural exchanges and shared spiritual practices that may have shaped religious history. Could Jesus' miraculous deeds be linked to yogic powers, or are they simply tales spun from cultural encounters? With a nod to pop culture icons like Spider-Man and the Beatles, we humorously contemplate Jesus' potential influences and inspirations. As we sign off with a cheeky farewell, we remind our listeners to support their local comic shops and prepare for whatever adventures await in future episodes.…

Classic: Jesus in Japan 51:49

51:49

Our journey takes an intriguing turn as we explore the legend of Jesus Christ's secret life in Japan. Did Jesus really escape crucifixion by swapping places with his brother? We dive into this obscure tale, revealing how he might have lived under the alias Daitenku Taru Jurai in the village of Shingo. With references to Mel Gibson's epic films, samurai sagas, and even a cheeky nod to Kaiser Soze, we blend history with humor, creating a captivating narrative that will leave you both laughing and pondering. And what's this about Jesus and lasers? As we wrap up our episode, we speculate on Jesus' blue eyes being the source of blue lasers, driving Blu-ray's success over HD DVD. Amidst our playful banter, we remind listeners of everyday duties, like supporting local businesses and keeping things clean. So tune in, embrace the unexpected, and let your imagination run wild with the grand possibilities of Jesus' story.…

Holiday UFO: Rendlesham Forest Part 1 18:38

for 11 weeks siden18:38

18:38

The Rendlesham Forest incident is a cornerstone of UFO lore, marked by a series of mysterious lights and encounters experienced by U.S. Air Force personnel in December 1980. As investigators described the craft's details and effects on their health, profound questions were raised about the nature of the phenomena and the implications of what was witnessed that fateful night. Join us as we recount the spine-tingling experiences of Sergeant Jim Penniston and his team, who were drawn by enigmatic lights into the heart of the forest. There, they encountered a mysterious triangular craft, igniting a series of bewildering events—like Penniston's urge to touch the craft, leading to visions of binary code. Through the lens of this gripping narrative, we delve into Penniston's notebook filled with cryptic symbols, a source of fascination and debate within the UFO community for decades. Over multiple nights, witnesses reported glowing crafts zigzagging through the forest and star-like objects executing bizarre maneuvers in the sky. We untangle the timeline of these events, acknowledging the complexities and mysteries that linger. So, tune in and prepare to journey into the unknown with us, as we piece together one of the most compelling UFO encounters ever recorded.…

Budd Hopkins & the Manhattan UFO Abduction 59:19

for 12 weeks siden59:19

59:19

What if the boundaries of reality and fiction aren’t as clear-cut as we think? Join us as we navigate the murky waters of UFO phenomena, inspired by the legacy of Budd Hopkins, a man who brought alien abduction tales out of the shadows and into the spotlight. From his artistic roots to a fateful UFO sighting in 1964, Hopkins' journey is a testament to the power of curiosity. We kick off our exploration with intriguing stories like the legendary "War of the Worlds" broadcast and its lasting impact, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of how media shapes our perception of the unexplained. In a story that could rival any sci-fi thriller, we unravel the twists and turns of the Manhattan Alien Abduction case, spotlighting the compelling yet controversial tale of Linda Napolitano. With accounts from anonymous witnesses including police officers and foreign dignitaries, we dissect Hopkins’ investigative approach and its profound influence on the UFO community. As we peel back the layers of this mysterious encounter, the psychological and social ramifications of such extraordinary claims come to light, challenging us to discern fact from fiction. But the intrigue doesn’t stop there. We venture into the realm of conspiracy theories, tracing their evolution from entertaining anecdotes to unsettling narratives. Radio legends like Art Bell paved the way for today’s more contentious figures, raising questions about the responsibility of those who amplify these voices. Through spirited discussions and a dash of humor, we aim to keep our minds open to the possibilities that stretch beyond the horizon, urging listeners to ponder the mysteries that continue to captivate our collective imagination.…

Eastside Theatre Guild: 'Runaway' 1:24:24

for 13 weeks siden1:24:24

1:24:24

What happens when you take Tom Selleck, the wild imagination of Michael Crichton, and a near-future world filled with rogue robots? Just a little "Runaway," a sci-fi film that dared to dream mid while delivering a curious mix of action, Gene Simmons of KISS, and futuristic speculation. What could possibly go wrong when a cop with a fear of heights takes on haywire robots? We dissect Tom Selleck’s portrayal of a tech-challenged hero who’s more comfortable with "Magnum P.I."-style swagger than high-tech gadgetry. There’s plenty to laugh about, from Simmons’ villainous antics to the absurdity of guided missile pistols and robot spiders. Our playful critique digs into the film's peculiar technological predictions, from a domestic bot named Lois to futuristic AR interfaces, all while taking a humorous look at the film's most memorable scenes and thematic quirks. Our journey through "Runaway" wouldn't be complete without acknowledging its place amidst the sci-fi giants of the 80s. We reflect on the film's potential and how, despite its flaws, it offers a unique take on the genre that stands out against titans like "Terminator" and "Blade Runner." Along the way, we explore the broader cinematic context of the time, with nods to "City Heat" and "The Cotton Club," and discuss Michael Crichton's directorial vision. So, whether you're a nostalgic 80s fan or new to this era, prepare for an engaging and entertaining reflection on a film that continues to intrigue with its ambitious ideas.…

In a special bonus episode we revisit our old podcast Memory Gamma , the 'true' crime show about Star Trek villains. In this installment we tackle one of the most critically acclaimed Trek stories 'The Conscience of the King'. In it we learned of Jim Kirk's tragic backstory and the darkest chapter in the Federation's days of colonization. The specter of Tarsus IV doesn't end with survival; it haunts Captain James Kirk as he comes face-to-face with Kodos the Executioner on Planet Q. Listen to the tensions rise and uncover the chilling truth behind the infamous massacre. Our discussion goes beyond the dramatic confrontations, prompting reflection on the slippery slopes of justice and the enduring challenges of human nature within the Federation. These narratives remind us of the sharp edges of fear and desperation that can emerge in times of crisis and the timeless lessons Star Trek continues to offer.…

Ever wondered how scurvy, scorpions, and strip clubs are connected? Let's embark on a rollercoaster of a conversation that stretches from citrus fruits and pet antics to the unexpected twists of celebrity scenarios you never knew you needed. You'll hear colorful stories about our unforgettable Mardi Gras trip and the wild detours we took along the way, all while sharing laughs over some seriously bizarre imaginations involving Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger. It's a joyful romp through the absurdities of life that will leave you grinning. Shifting from the absurd to the impactful, we explore how Robert Propst's revolutionary office designs reshaped the modern workspace. Imagine the chaos of the bullpens of yesteryear, and you'll appreciate how Propst's cubicle concept brought a much-needed balance between privacy and productivity. This historical pivot opens a wider conversation about its socio-economic ripple effects, highlighting issues like workers' rights, corporate power dynamics, and the ongoing battles of the middle class in today's economy. Finally, we plunge into the eerie world of workplace horror, where mundane office settings transform into chilling narratives. Whether it’s the psychological tension of "Exam," the chaos of "Office Uprising," or the corporate nightmares of "Severance," these stories speak to the deeper anxieties we have about work and capitalism. We dissect films like "Mayhem" and "Vampire's Kiss" for their unique takes on horror in the workspace, debating the nuances of their narratives.
