    ESPN's The Philly Special Directed By Eagles Fan Shannon Furman
    Feb 8 2026
    The newest installment of ESPN’s acclaimed 30 for 30 series, The Philly Special, focuses on the moment that propelled the Philadelphia Eagles to an upset win over the Patriots for their first Super Bowl title in 2018, told through the perspectives of the players, coaches, and fans who experienced it. It’s also a personal look at the city of Philadelphia, with its unique mix of heartfelt optimism, notorious pessimism, and unbridled underdog passion.

    Since 2018, the Philly Special has been immortalized on t-shirts, tattoos, murals, a statue outside Lincoln Financial Field, restaurant menus and multiple holiday albums recorded by the Eagles. It has transcended football to become part of Philadelphia’s cultural identity. It’s not just a play; it’s a rallying cry for a city used to being overlooked. While Philadelphia might be the birthplace of America, the 6th most populated city in the country lives and dies with an underdog mentality – one epitomized by the Founding Fathers, Rocky Balboa…and The Philly Special.

    The Philly Special was directed by Shannon Furman and Angela Zender. An Emmy Award winning director and producer with over 20 years of storytelling and production experience, Shannon Furman directed 10 seasons of the critically acclaimed series Hard Knocks (HBO). She is the lead director and showrunner for the Emmy nominated series Hey Rookie (ESPN) and is also a director on the hit series Quarterback (Netflix). She has directed All or Nothing (Amazon), and her work on the series A Football Life (NFL Network) includes directing the untold story of Brandon Marshall.

    Speaking The Street With Alexa And Clarence Episode Three Challenging The Psalms
    Feb 7 2026
    Psalms 128: Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord. This is very much worth digging into. It calls for a modern day defition of what fear is and more importantly who and what is a Lord? Not a religous show! This is authentic talk that even stumps Alexa. What do you expect? I'm a professional interviewer!!!!

  • Bakersfield CA Versus Nashville Aaron Nichols From NBC's The Voice

    Bakersfield CA Versus Nashville Aaron Nichols From NBC's The Voice
    Feb 7 2026
    Aaron Nichols grew up in Bakersfield where his hardworking single mom juggled long hospital shifts and cleaning jobs to support him and his brothers. Music sparked early when he would secretly play his older brother's electric guitar, and by age 13 was excelling in lessons that his mom made possible. Years later, he reconnected with his childhood crush Felisha - they're now happily married with a young son, Jack, who cheers him on. Aaron moved to San Diego in 2013, playing local wedding and party bands while singing harmonies in church. The passing of his favorite singer, Chris Cornell, inspired him to explore his own voice, eventually booking gigs as a lead singer. In 2022, Aaron and Felisha made the leap to Nashville, where he now plays four to five nights a week, leads worship at church and has gained the confidence to audition for "The Voice," ready to take his music to the next stage.

    The Daily Mess Breaking Daily Writing Rules Plus Do Things Fall Into Place
    Feb 7 2026
    I’m always asking questions. The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… If something is written in a journal two days out, is that breaking the rules of being a daily writer? Plus…we hear it all the time, it all fell into place. Does it really happen that way? I’m Arroe… I am a daily writer. A silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate. I call it The Daily Mess. A chronological walk through an everyday world. Yes, it’s my morning writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later. When a subject arrives, I dig in. It’s still keeping a journal! By doing the research the picture becomes clearer. This is the Daily Mess…

  • Two Hollywood Historians One William Friedkin From Nat Segaloff And Thomas Clagett

    Two Hollywood Historians One William Friedkin From Nat Segaloff And Thomas Clagett
    Feb 6 2026
    ABOUT NAT SEGALOFF'S BOOK HURRICANE BILLYOriginally published in 1990, Hurricane Billy: The Stormy Life and Films of William Friedkin is at last available again with a new foreword and extensive afterword written in assessment of William Friedkin's career following his 2023 death. Biographer Nat Segaloff draws upon his fifty-year friendship with the controversial director of The French Connection, The Exorcist, To Live and Die in L.A., Cruising, and his greatest achievement, Sorcerer.. This was the first book to offer an intimate portrait of the director. BearManor Media is proud to bring this work back into print. Nat Segaloff's Hurricane Billy: The Stormy Life and Films of William Friedkin is an in-depth look at this mercurial filmmaker of "The French Connection," "The Exorcist," Sorcerer" and other dynamic classics. Billy (his friends called him that) was as explosive as his movies. He was known to hit actors, shoot off a handgun to get an effect, and tell people off to their faces regardless of the consequences. Nat knew him for 50 years and wrote "The Exorcist Legacy" (2023) as well as more than 30 other books, mostly about movies. "Hurricane Billy" was written with Friedkin's participation in 1990 and is being republished after disappearing on its publication 35 years ago.ABOUT THOMAS CLAGETT'S WILLIAM FRIEDKIN: FILMS OF ABERRATION, OBSESSIIN & REALITYWilliam Friedkin: Films of Aberration, Obsession, and Reality was first published in 1990 and has been massively revised and expanded it for this new 2026 edition. It covers all of Friedkin's films in detail, and explores the connections between the man and his movies, as well as their cinematic legacy. It is incredibly provocative in showing how Friedkin's films reflect not only the man who made them but also the world he lives in. Tom went to USC and worked on "The Two Jakes" and "St. Elsewhere" as an assistant editor and since then has won awards for his books in the genre of historical fiction.
