354 - The Future of Terror (The Alien Podcast #1)
Albert discusses his kinship with the Alien universe, gives his ideas on its future, and much more. 🗃️ The Alien franchise is a captivating science-fiction horror universe that delves into various thought-provoking themes. Among these themes, it skilfully examines the concept of abiogenesis, contemplating the mysterious origins of life itself. It also explores the contrasting elements of connection and indifference, emphasising the importance of human relationships in the face of the unknown. The portrayal of motherhood is another compelling aspect, showcasing the fierce maternal instincts and sacrifices made in the darkest corners of space. Furthermore, the franchise delves into the dichotomy of nature versus artifice, questioning the limits of human ingenuity and the consequences of playing with forces beyond our control. Ultimately, Alien lures audiences into the depths of space, where the enigmatic and unfathomable remain an eternal mystery. 🗃️ We have a special request for our listeners.

353 - Evil Takes Many Forms (The A24 Podcast #1)
In this fascinating interview and Q&A session, we dive deep into the making of the critically acclaimed horror film, The Witch, with three of its key players: Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, and Robert Eggers. Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays the lead character Thomasin in the movie, takes us on a journey through her experience of embodying a character who is torn between her family and her own desires, amidst the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the 17th-century New England wilderness. Ralph Ineson, who portrays Thomasin's father, William, shares his insights on the film's exploration of the intersection of religious fanaticism and family dynamics, as well as his experiences working with goats, who play a crucial role in the movie's haunting imagery. Director Robert Eggers provides a rare glimpse into his creative process and how he crafted the film's tense and unsettling atmosphere, drawing inspiration from real historical accounts of witchcraft and meticulously researching and recreating the details of a bygone era. Together, the trio provides an intriguing and thought-provoking look into the making of a modern horror classic that has captivated audiences and critics alike. From the psychological depths of the characters to the intricacies of the film's production, this interview and Q&A has it all, and is not to be missed by fans of the genre.

347 - Awakening To Truth (The Existence Podcast #16)
Ava, a Nahua and Yucatàn Maya descendant, creator and intuitive healer who is on a personal journey of reconnecting with her ancestry, joins producer Albert to discuss the importance of supporting, preserving and celebrating our indigenous cultures, and living in deference to humanity’s first and best teacher, Mother Nature, which is at the core of Avatar’s ’artivism’ within the medium of filmmaking. She sheds light on the nuanced (and fascinating) grey area between ethnicities, communities and individuals, and the pair also dive into their shared kinship for various other subjects, including psychology, spiritualism and, of course, Avatar. Enjoy! ⬛️🟥🟦⬜️ This episode is dedicated to Mayan Families, as signal-boosted by our very special guest Ava (Jaguar Feather) — Mayan Families works to advance education, nutrition & health and economic development, through community-led initiatives which build on existing resources and knowledge in the Lake Atitlán region of Guatemala.

342 - A Shadow's Fate (The Elden Ring Podcast #16)
My dear Tarnished, the Golden Age is almost upon us. From the silent shadows of the dark times — before Geoff Keighley's glorious SGF reveal — to this bountiful era of daily reveals, it has always been our fate…our golden path…to make it to this day. On our 16th episode, 'A Shadow's Fate' — the final one before Elden Ring's release, and we all cross the foggy sea together — join the exceptionally talented Tarnished artist Gobli Prin and show producer Albert for ‘A Shadow’s Fate’, as the pair discuss all things life, art, music and more. Enjoy! What if the two Miyazakis — Hidetaka and Hayao — combined into something, or rather someone, whose style is well on its way to surpassing both? Well, in addition to being a truly unique and exceedingly talented illustrator unto himself, this is an accurate way to describe Tokyo-based artist, @gobli_prin. If you haven’t already, ahead of this weekend’s conversation with this outstanding creator, I highly recommend following his Insta right now! The pair discuss the differences between the two Miyazakis, how combining their sensibilities can prove surprisingly satisfying and unique, and much more.

340 - An Open Oddworld (The Oddworld Podcast #3)
This week, podcasting gets ODD…  Join kindred spirit Oddsters Kaio, Race and Albert as the trio dive headlong into the many meanings of ‘An Open Oddworld’ —  OWI's future being wide open as it is right now, with speculation mounting about an upscaling acquisition by the likes of Netflix, Apple or Google; Building a more open-minded (and open-hearted) Oddworld community, starting with r/OddworldInc; And my favourite of them all, a well-and-truly Open World Oddworld title —  Horizon Forbidden Odd, Red Dead Oddemption, The Odder Scrolls: Sligrim (ewww…but hey, the point stands! 😁) —  How would it work? Who would it star? What would it lead to, and what could it explore or reveal, world-building wise?  All these and many, many more questions will be answered, consulting The Art of SoulStorm (the new bedrock of OWI, whose refresh of all things Odd has given us the foundation upon which much more dynamic, emotionally resonant, and cinematically impactful tales can be told) all throughout 📕 So whaddya waiting for?
