We Made It Better podcast

28:16

Gene Baur is the founder of Farm Sanctuary, a place of rescue, refuge, and adoption for hundreds of farm animals each year. Farm Sanctuary shelters enable visitors to connect with farm animals as emotional, intelligent individuals. Gene has also led campaigns to change laws about animal treatment and taken undercover photographs of farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses, documenting deplorable conditions. His pictures and videos exposing factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally, educating millions about the plight of modern farm animals, and his rescue work inspired an international farm sanctuary movement. Once called “the conscience of the food movement” by Time magazine, Gene walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to food and animal rights. Jay and Gene discuss the political and cultural steps that will bring about the end of factory farming and a healthier approach to animals and food. Today's episode was produced by Tani Levitt and Mijon Zulu. To check out more episodes or to learn more about the show, you can visit our website Allaboutchangepodcast.com.

Our good friend, Connor, joins us to discuss #79 on the top AFI 100 list, "The Wild Bunch". Directed by Sam Peckinpah in 1969, it's a movie about horses and people running away from a railroad executive. Special guest is "Chema" Hernandez, uncredited head animal trainer for the movie.

Like mighty gladiators, Matt, Harrison, and Liz slay your doldrums with insightful commentary and new scenes that would make even Spartacus say, "They are better!" Harrison said that it's #80 (it's actually #81) and he was so wrong about it. He thought about just re-recording the whole thing but the others would surely kill him. Guest Liz Reuss joins us for the fun! Twitter: liz_reuss Instagram: lizrollsreuss…

The conceit of "We Made It Better" is that we think it can move up... provided there were some changes. AFI ranks this as #82 but after our changes, who knows?! Matt and Harrison make it better.

We went looking for the American Dream and we couldn't find it anywhere. "Easy Rider" is positioned as the best road trip movie by many. We take a long trip with this one as we travel with them to the Big Easy and then to parts unknown. We thank Pat Tamisiea for joinging us on this one!

Our first entry on to the list from the legendary Marx Brothers! There's some nuggets of goodness from this movie although all I could think is that everyone associated with the film is probably now passed on. Tragedy + Time = Comedy Enjoy our take at "A Night at the Opera"!

Sorry about the sound quality on this one. I'm not sure what happened but if you like muffled, electronica -- strap on your diaper. For #86, we visit "Platoon". It's a harrowing look into the human animal situated in a war far from home. Charlie Sheen has HIV now. If you wanted to see how he rose, here's probably where it all started.…

Harrison gives thanks to his 7th grade teacher AND this website: http://www.avclub.com/article/did-i12-angry-meni-get-it-wrong-83245 Also, Matt has celestial bodies in his pants, ladies.

According to many people, this movie defines the genre of "screwball comedy". It's a pretty simple formula: add a couple of leopards, an heiress, a paleontologist, and a million dollars and you'll end up with hi-jinx galore! Christine Lin joins us for a ride into the beautiful and the absurd.

It's been a long, long time but here we are in 2017. Unfortunately, we lost Heather to Chicago but we wish nothing but happiness for her as she hopefully finds her cousin, Balky. #90 is "Swing Time". It's quite a hoot of a film and there's a hum-dinger of what is supposed to be a homage. We'll not spoil you here, fair listener! Enjoy!…

What do you get when you mix three friends from Chicago (that now reside in LA), the AFI Top 100 movies list, and a microphone? You get Afternoon Snack Paks! It's a fun-filled romp through the greatest offerings in cinema. It'll be filled with cool trivia, fun facts, and a deep exploration of the themes and struggles of all the movies on the Top 100 list. We're starting from the bottom, folks. First up? Ben-Hur! Technical notes: There's some weird static at times so don't think it's your device. We're getting better at this. Trust us.

1:19:03

Starring Meryl Streep, who gives a performance that's one for the ages, we follow the life of a simple woman named Sophie. Polish in origin, yet punished to go to Auschwitz, she's given an impossible choice. Thus, the movie. Anyhoo, Heather, Matt, and Harrison tackle the drama that is "Sophie's Choice" and the enigma that is Stingo.…

Are we only 10% done? The answer is no because I'm sure we'll probably end up pulling a "Love Actually" and doing other movies outside this list. But bear in mind, we don't do this for us, we do this for you. And we respond to our second email! Goodfellas is a story of three good friends -- albeit one's a psychopath. It's just like Harrison, Heather, and Matt! You'll have to decide who's the Tommy DeVito in this group! Enjoy!…

Episode #8 - #94 Pulp Fiction 1:28:07

9 years тому1:28:07

1:28:07

Apparently Harrison had no control over his levels. You'll hear some "clipping". That's what's it's called in the biz when the level of input "overwhelms" the recording and you get "loud static". Anyway, it's been addressed and I assure you that the next recording will be like fine china. Anyhoo, coming in at #94 is 1994's "Pulp Fiction". Quentin Tarantino had already made a name for himself with "Reservoir Dogs" in 1992 and he did not disappoint with his follow-up. It's a podcast for the ages! (Mainly because it's our longest one yet. Bear in mind, we edited this down. We promise not to go over 90 minutes in the future. This one is under 90.) Here's Heather on "Let's Make a Deal". http://www.cbs.com/shows/lets_make_a_deal/video/EID10rQwU_VOrAh_Qn3fQ4XTba_WqH31/let-s-make-a-deal-3-21-2016/…

1:14:24

For whatever reason, the recording quit just as we were finishing that's why it ends the way it does. Either that or we wanted the Inception ending -- are we just dreams or are we living in a reality? Well, if it's 1951 in the dying town of Anarene, Texas, you'd rather live in a dream. Why? Take a listen and you'll find out. Life is bleak and love fleeting even if it's the likes of the prettiest gal this side of the Mississippi.…

Happy Holidays from Afternoon Snack Paks! Being that the holiday season is about giving, Heather thought it would be great to give Matt and Harrison the gift of "Love Actually". Now, they know it's not on AFI Top 100 list but Heather thinks it should be. Opinions vary. It's a hot mess of a podcast but bonus is that it may be our best sounding, yet!…
