The hosts of the 30 Years Later podcast, Ricky Camilleri and Chris Chafin, join me from New York City to discuss Larry Clark’s 2001 true-crime drama Bully.
Possibly the ultimate Florida movie, Bully is a tale of crime and punishment that contrasts a strongly moralistic narrative with Clark’s sweaty, lurid and lecherous visual approach to adapt the true story of a group of sex-crazed stoner teens in Fort Lauderdale who conspire to commit the brut...2022-06-1204 minJunk FilterTEASER - 84: Under the Silver Lake (with Brian Buster)Access the entire 88 minute episode (and additional bonus episodes) by becoming a patron of Junk Filter: https://www.patreon.com/posts/65467969

Tea & ContemplationClearing, ep 3 of 3Our theme for the month of March is "CLEARING." Given the deep weight the world is carrying at the moment, it feels like an appropriate place to pause and just consider how we practice peace within ourselves. How we deescalate from within. How we clear and make space for listening, restoration, grieving. So, we'll be spending March contemplating the practice of clearing with our tea and with our inner quiet. Come sit with us and be in community. We're back after a little spring break last week! And today, our monthly guest, jess young chang, joins us...2022-03-2539 minTea & ContemplationDeep Listening, ep 4 of 4Our theme for February in Tea & Contemplation is "Deep Listening." Winter is a very inward, reflective time of year, and perhaps a time where we are extra prone to absorbing excessive messages. Whether they originate internally from our own insecurities, or externally because we're just living in a period of nearly debilitating intake of everything, all the time. This month, Adam and I sit with how to filter and tune out the noise, learning to tend to this inner monologue as a garden - one that needs frequent, attentive weeding. Today's session...2022-02-2539 minTea & ContemplationMaking a Place, ep 4 of 4Our January theme is "Making a Place." Covid continues to impose intense restrictions on our ability to travel and to commune with the world outside of our homes. For many of us, it is a time of confinement, of being stuck in place. Psychologist and Holocaust survivor Victor Frankl posited that, “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”Today, we close this series with a contemplation on what home means - to come home, to be of a pl...2022-01-2841 minTea & ContemplationDarkness, ep 3 of 5Our December theme is DARKNESS. In a culture obsessed with light, darkness is burdened with our abundant fears and hostilities. If we are to integrate, to ground into the fullness of who we really are, we must release our projections and step into the dark. The unseen. The unknown, and the unknowable. The shadow, and the veil. Darkness, the ground from which we all emerge.In honor of our theme, there are no weekly subjects this month. We cannot see the path ahead; we'll make it as we go. We encourage you to practice each session in...2021-12-1738 minTea & ContemplationDismantling Discpline, ep 2 of 4: "Push vs Flow"Our November theme is Dismantling Discipline. We are in a time when people are trying SO hard, all the time, and it never seems to be enough. And this conflict gets refracted and twisted around in our practice spaces, too - an area in our life where acceptance, curiosity, and nurturing are supposed to be the guiding principles. Not rigidity. So what can we do? Can we move away from dominance and more toward dedication? Let's sit with tea and our breathing, and talk together.This week's session: "Push vs Flow." A tale of two paths. There...2021-11-1237 minTea & ContemplationNourishing Energy, ep 4 of 4 - "Can you share?"Our September theme is Nourishing Energy. Our sense of energy is so dynamic. At times we may feel full of a zest for life, brimming with vitality, and at other times we might find that, despite eating well and getting plenty of sleep, we can't seem to escape a feeling of depletion and exhaustion. This is especially common heading into the autumn season, when many routines and schedules shift all over again. Clearly, energy is a complex field, and in this month's sessions, we'll explore how we can navigate it skillfully.This week's session : "Can...2021-09-2444 min

Reflections on the nature of practice, including how we choose methods that serve us, how we deal with distractions, and how we show up honestly for ourselves. Lineage traditions and modern expressions all meet in the sea of possibility, and teachers of all approaches are a click away these days. Ultimately, practice is activated by intention. So: where are we headed, and how are we resourcing ourselves for the journey?

As we emerge from our guarded shelters this spring, what are we reaching for? What do we do with this complicated feeling, of longing to grow, to support, to provide? How might our own human life cycle mirror that of our tree friends, in spirals and attunement toward the light? As we look deeply into the nature of our questioning, we see that the seed of new possibility is always present, and that not all circles and spirals are forms of repeating past mistakes. Come join us, as we grow...2021-04-1639 minTea & ContemplationAlone Together, ep 3 of 3 - "Noticing the Blooms and Minding the Wounds"This March, we explore the theme Alone Together. It's been a year of separation. How are you feeling, here in this space between together and also alone? This month, we explore the natural movement toward the warmth of spring bloom, while also holding space for the thaw that reveals all the material of existence - old leaves, emotions, memories, and yes, even garbage - that we're still working through from seasons before. Both can be true. Both can be held. And we do this both alone and together.This week's session : "...2021-03-1940 minTea & ContemplationPatterns, ep 2 of 3 - "What to Keep and What to Let Go"Our January theme is Patterns. We are subject to worldly patterns that create structure and cycles in our dynamic shared realm. At the same time, through forces like will, desire, fear, and trauma, we also exert patterns of our own as we move through this life. This month, we sip and sit with what creates these habits and how we might weave new patterns in a season of intentions and resolutions.This week's session : This week's practice features our regular guest and dear friend here in the tea space, Jessica Young Chang.
