We have a thinking piece for you this week for sure!

Still by Lia Romeo and directed by Adrienne Campbell-Holt, stars Melissa Gilbert ("Little House On The Prairie," "Secrets & Lies") and Mark Moses ("Desperate Housewives," "Mad Men") as Helen and Mark. Thirty years ago, Helen and Mark broke up, but they never completely forgot one another. Now, they are getting a second chance at first love. Single, and frustrated with dating apps, they are ready to try again. But Mark has an agenda and Helen has a secret that could derail his plans. Still is a funny yet heart-wrenching story for anyone who has ever wondered “what if?”.

Supercross. A sport born in 1972 by a man now serving a double-life sentence without the possibility of parole for murdering his ex-business partner Mickey Thompson and his wife. He’s just one character in this feature documentary that includes the biggest names in Supercross, past and present. Pay Dirt takes you on a wild ride through the most underappreciated, demanding, dramatic motorsports on the planet. Narrated by Josh Brolin and directed by two-time Emmy-winning filmmaker Paul Taublieb, Pay Dirt captures the essence of the sport where passion meets commitment, relying on the twin illars of cinematic camera work and deep archival research combined with in-depth interviews.

You do not think The Roundtable and Motorcross BUT we had to talk to Racing Legend Jimmy Button about being in this film, telling his remarkable story, and how we can all be safe doing what we love. This is a fascinating chat for any and all sports fans!

“This movie educates you on the sport of Supercross, from its roots to the glamour and the dark side of the sport in a way that captivates your senses in every way. New and old fans alike with undoubtedly learn something new watching it for the first time.” explains Road 2 Recovery Founder/President Jimmy Button

Listen here and learn all about it!

What is it about? Well....

Stranded on Earth for centuries, Hanokh is an immortal man conflicted by the ever-present question of his purpose. As he navigates through time and the modern world, he yearns to uncover the secret of his existence. A brilliant but terminally ill scientist becomes obsessed with capturing Hanokh and believes that his immortality holds the key to his own salvation. His relentless pursuit jeopardizes not only Hanokh but also the safety of the woman he has grown to love after a life of solitude. As he closes in, Hanokh must confront the powerful force that wants to exploit him and navigate the betrayal of those closest to him.

In a desperate race against time, he grapples with the moral implications of his immortality while simultaneously striving to protect the woman he cherishes. All the while also seeking answers that could either liberate him or trap him in the eternal quest for meaning in a world where life and death are intricately connected.
