It's hard to imagine a time when Stephen King wasn't the king of horror fiction. On a direct-to-VHS series called The Night Shift Collection student adaptations of King's short stories "Children of the Corn" (title changed to Disciples of the Crow for film), "The Boogeyman", and "The Woman in the Room" were distributed-the last title directed by Frank Darabont, who would go on to direct professional King adaptations The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and The Mist! So join Arnie, Jakob, and Stuart as they go back to school and review The Night Shift Collection! In an attempt to help student filmmakers King sells non-exclusive rights for one dollar he calls these films his "Dollar Babies." As part of the contract these films can not be distributed or sold however, in the 1980s three Dollar Babies were renegotiated and saw professional release. But beyond the feature films are hundreds of student-made short films based on King's short stories, completely authorized by the author. Stephen King has over 50 feature films based on his writings. Now Marvel Studios makes another big bet, a billion dollars, that audiences will love what they tout as “the most ambitious crossover event in history.” Is the more the merrier when it comes to superheroes on screen, or is this an overstuffed, overlong, bloated bust? Join Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob now as they review Avengers: Infinity War! Ten years and 18 movies later, not only has their gamble paid off but few would disagree with their hubris. Ten years ago Marvel Comics gambled their entire existence, using all their remaining IP as collateral, on the idea that they could make superhero movies better than anyone else. Also a couple corrections or "inserts" may be in the final version and not in this release. It will contain background noises, misspeaks, and other errors. Devastated, Callie cries herself to sleep, only to be awakened a few hours later by her uncle with the startling news that Noah Koehn has asked permission to court her.This is a (mostly) unedited podcast. The prayer has barely left her mouth when she finds a stack of letters with secrets about her parent's lives and their excommunication from the Mennonite church.
On the eve of her twenty-third birthday, struggling with hopelessness as another year passes, Callie pleads with God to open a door for her. She longs to do more to alleviate the poverty and sickness that surrounds her, but tradition and her uncle forbid her. Raised by her aunt and uncle after the death of her parents, Callie works beside her aunt cooking, cleaning, and sewing each day as the men head off to serve the community.
For a young Mennonite woman who wants to make a difference in the world, growing up on the mission field in Haiti should be the perfect fit.
