The Meddler Movie Review The Not Old Better Show, Movies for Adults I watched the movie, "The Meddler" over the holiday and have to tell you this 2016 film, released quietly, now out everywhere online for rent, is wonderful. It is a poignant indie movie written by Lorene Scafaria, and Susan Sarandon plays Marnie, a widow still grieving the loss of her husband. He left his spouse with enough money so she'd never have to worry about much, if anything, financially, again, and so she packed up and moved to Los Angeles, to be close to her daughter. Pathologically close. A great film for family, mom and daughter, son and mom, no sex scenes, and only one small car crash…just great characters and great acting. Enjoy.

Hilarious World of Depression Interview with John Moe The Not Old Better Show, Interview Series Certainly, one of the things I love about hosting this show is the sharing I get to do with all of you. Today's show falls in that category: something really great I've found, that I get to share with you, and with a twist: my hope is that you'll then share with others. I say that, request it, actually, because of the help this can offer. Our guest today is John Moe. John is host of the podcast: The Hilarious World of Depression. Before you judge a book by its cover, wait until you hear more than just the title of the show. And, remember, this is entertaining, but it's important stuff, so hang in… John's show is a show about clinical depression... with laughs. The Hilarious World of Depression is a podcast series of frank, moving, and, yes, funny conversations with top comedians who have dealt with this disease, hosted by our guest today, veteran humorist, comedy writer, former actor, and self described "comedy nerd," public radio host John Moe. John's approach is to begin a conversation about depression around helping us as audienice, family members, teachers, and those of us who suffer from depression to learn how others have dealt with depression and managed to laugh along the way. I say, "laugh," emphasize the title of "Hilarious World of Depression," spotlight on John's comedy writing because John's show looks at links between depression and comedy through conversations with nationally recognized comedians who share their struggles with mental illness of depression. We'll introduce John in just a second, but one final mention. It also bears noting that the show has a well respected health care partner. John likes to say, "The Hilarious World of Depression" is not medical treatment and should not be seen as a substitute for therapy or medication," but the MakeItOk.org campaign, and the sponsor, Health Partners, are just that. "Show and Sponsor" remain fully autonomous, and "show and sponsor" are very separate, but you'll hear during the interview, mention of a "depression pledge" available at MakeItOk.org. If you get a chance, sign the pledge. This is a personal show for me, and I requested right up front that you consider sharing this with others. I hope you do. But, importantly, I also hope it's is a chance to gain some insight, be entertained, have a few laughs, and realize that people with depression are not alone and that together, we can all feel a bit better. Enjoy today's show. Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show on Radio & Podcast! Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Ultra Runner, Mark Cliggett, Pt. 1, Interview Fitness Friday, Interview Series Part 1, of 2. In this, first of 2 parts interview, we sit down with Mark Cliggett as he talks about what UltraRunning is, and isn't. For one thing, in the sport of Ultra Running, cutting corners doesn't produce results, and while "results," per se, are not always the goal, anything less than full commitment and devotion, really, to this sport, can lead to injury and, well, worse. This is no exaggeration. And, Mark Cliggett will tell us all about his training regimen, the rigor, why he competes, what we in The Not Old Better audience can do to sort through some of the decisions to be made before taking on something like this sport, including volunteering and where to do it. Mark's excellent blog, pointlenana.wordpress.com which we'll link to from The Not Old Better post is a very detailed "journal" of events, Mark's thoughts and planning, including some beautiful video and photography, which, courtesy of photographer, Scott Rokis, we'll also add to the site.

"Hidden Figures" Movie Review The Not Old Better Show - Movies For Adults series I saw Hidden Figures last night here in Washington, DC. I'll tell you right up front, this is a superb film, excellent really, and judging from the audience reaction, those in the theater with me, we all agreed: lots of applause throughout, lots of audible gasps at parts, and lots of talent in the cast and production. Most know the story by know, Hidden Figures tells a true story of a group of African-American women who worked at NASA to help launch several of NASA's preeminent programs like Mercury Atlas, John Glenn's Friendship 7, and other successful space missions. At one point during the film, John Glenn says he only wants "numbers from Johnson," and I thought how heroic Johnson, and the rest of the women are, and how important it is to recognize their contribution. A wonderful family film, and perfect timing for the holidays, this is a story that needed to be told, and it's told in a triumphant manner. Go see Hidden Figures, I think you'll agree with me and the audience last night, it is fantastic! Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show on Radio & Podcast! Hosted by Ausha.

"Passengers" Real Science. Interview with Dr. John Bradford Art Of Living Interview Series The movie "Passengers" is about the very real possibility of traveling to a new home around another star, or known as an exoplanet. It's fascinating to discover the real science behind that – to see how astronomers are discovering exoplanets and and finding ways that what we imagine could someday become a reality." Today's guest is Dr. John Bradford, and he's doing just that...Dr. Bradford's firm, "Spaceworks," based in Atlanta, Georgia, is an engineering firm focused on future space exploration technologies, and working on the film 'Passengers' about the movie's depiction of exoplanets and human hibernation relate to current research and projects, and informing us of the realities behind some of the movie's themes, and making this a reality.
