For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Today, we’re traveling back to 1997 for a conversation with one of the most distinctive and rebellious filmmakers of the indie film scene—Greg Araki. By the time Nowhere hit theaters in ‘97, Araki had already made a name for himself with his bold, surreal, and unapologetically queer storytelling. As the final entry in his “Teen Apocalypse Trilogy,” Nowhere pushed boundaries with its wild mix of sex, drugs, existential dread, and alien abductions—all wrapped in the signature Araki aesthetic.…

Inside Hitchcock’s Obsession: Laurence Leamer on the Women Who Defined a Legend 16:21

2 years önce16:21

16:21

When it comes to Alfred Hitchcock, most biographies center on the master of suspense himself—his genius, his control, his darkness. But in his latest book, Hitchcock’s Blondes, bestselling author Laurence Leamer flips the lens, focusing instead on the women who helped shape the director’s legacy from the other side of the camera. In this captivating interview for Mark Gordon Center Stage, Leamer takes us deep into the lives of eight iconic actresses—from Grace Kelly to Tippi Hedren—who weren’t just Hitchcock’s muses, but complex women navigating the pressures of fame, image, and a director whose obsession with their every move extended far beyond the film set. With his signature blend of deep research and compelling storytelling, Leamer discusses what drew him to this subject, how Hitchcock’s early years in British cinema shaped his relationships with women, and why these actresses' stories are essential to understanding both the man and the myth. Whether you’re a film buff, a Hitchcock fan, or simply fascinated by the stories history forgot to highlight, this conversation promises revelations and resonance in equal measure.…

In the late 1960s, Raghu Markus set out on a journey to India in search of something deeper—a path beyond the noise of the West and into the heart of spiritual awakening.
