Chris Rock. One of the most prominent and recognised comedians in America. Since he first started doing comedy back in the 80s, he has never stopped making audiences laugh throughout his career. Today he has reached heights by being groundbreaking, controversial, and fearless, and is even considered an influence for comedians like Kevin Hart or Trevor Noah. However, the hilarious, unapologetic, hard-working comic with sharp social punchlines hasn't always had it easy. In fact, he draws his comedy from a darker side of his past. Rising from the obscurity of his childhood to the top of the comedy world, Rock was yearning for success, and he found it. Chris Rock dreamed of following in the steps of the geniuses that came before him, only to find his own genius, one that made him an inspiration to others. We look back at the life and rise of the one who was once named the funniest man in America.

A century ago, the people of the Mashco Piro fled deep into the Peruvian Amazon to escape the cruelty of colonialists. They entered an isolation they haven’t abandoned to this day. The film turns around in front of the forest and looks back at those who want to contact the isolated Mashco Piro: missionaires, miners and villagers, who all feel it is their right to decide on the Mashco Piro’s fate. Only a group of anthropologists stands between them and the Mashco Piro. When a murder happens, Carl Gierstorfer is there to document and let the story carry itself.

Until a decade ago, little was known about this people of the Peruvian Amazon; there were only random encounters with boat travelers and a few pictures taken by light aircrafts on overflights. But then - for reasons that still are mysterious - the Mashco Piro made themselves known to park rangers and indigenous settlements, many of which lie directly on the opposite bank of the Madre de Dios river. These settlements are fully connected to the modern world with mobile phone, satellite TV connection and villagers that have seen big cities and other countries.
Only a group of anthropologists working for Peru’s Ministry of Culture protect the isolated Mashco Piro from outside forces, who are pushing to contact and infiltrate their territory of pristine rainforest. Some believe the Mashco Piro want to be part of the modern world, while others want to take over their lands to cut timber, mine for gold or smuggle cocaine. And while the Mashco Piro are totally unaware of the riches they sit on and the power-struggles they have provoked, they themselves have shown an increasing curiosity about the outside world. They try to stop passing boats, asking for ‘things’ – some of apparent symbolic importance like shirts and life-vest, other of practical use like knives and machetes. Sometimes, their interactions with the outside world have been violent.

In 2015, they killed a 15-year-old boy in native community, and in 2018 a 74-year old villager, who entered their territory to go fishing. Both murders left the communities feeling helpless and afraid. There were angry calls for revenge, accusations against the anthropologists and campaigns to contact the Mashco Piro. Few wanted to acknowledge that “contact” is a process that almost inevitably ends with disease, death and the loss of identity for the contacted, a questions this film will explore.

In this full-length interview, one of the greatest R&B singer/songwriters of all time, Smokey Robinson, details his upbringing in Detroit, where he lived in a packed house. He spoke about being one of 11 kids in the house, most of whom were his nieces and nephews who, due to closeness in age, were more like his siblings. He also discussed his father’s journey out of Selma, Alabama, into Detroit after stabbing a white kid who bullied him for years and fleeing town at only 12 years old. Moving along, the legendary R&B singer recalls starting a vocal group in elementary school and later forming his first official band, The Five Chimes. He goes on to explain what inspired the group's inception before saying that they eventually evolved into The Miracles. As the discussion continues, he talks about growing up with a young Diana Ross and Aretha Franklin as his childhood neighbors.Later, Smokey Robinson talks about growing up in Detroit when many of his friends were dabbling in criminal mischief and gang activity. He also talks about the experience of his former group, The Matadors, auditioning for Jackie Wilson's manager. The Motown legend explains that although the audition didn't go for the group, it served as his personal introduction to Barry Gordy, Jackie Wilson's primary songwriter. As the conversation nears an end, he looks back on the first time he retired, the events leading up to recording his first album, being the Vice President of Motown Records. He also shares his thoughts on Michael Jackson's early releases as a solo artist before touching on his friendship with the late Rick James and the tragic murder of Marvin Gaye.

Lyrics:
If you have an opinion
Maybe you should shove it
Or maybe you could scream it
Might be best to keep it

To yourself

This is why
I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear
but you won’t catch me out
Oh why?
This Is Why

Better have conviction
We want crimes of passion
Survival of the fittest
You’re either with us or you can keep it

To yourself

This is why
I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear,
but you won’t catch me out
Oh why?
This Is Why

One step beyond your door
Might as well have been a free fall
One step beyond your door
Falling down an endless hall
One step beyond your door
Might as well have been a free fall
One step beyond your door
And I’m floating like a cannonball

This is why
I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear,
but you won’t catch me out
Oh why?
This Is Why

For most people, working for a game developer likely sounds pretty cool. You get to bring the games that gave you so much joy to millions of people around the world. But, while the job looks fun from the outside, in reality, being a game developer is actually quite rough. For one, game companies are usually able to get away with paying game developers significantly less than market wages. Similarly, game developers generally end up working quite a bit more than traditional software engineers. This can mostly be explained by the fact that most people who become game developers do it out of passion. So, game companies are able to abuse this passion to milk out the most amount of work. This situation is only made worse by the fact that game development skills aren’t easily transferable to traditional tech companies. So, many developers often end up getting trapped within the gaming industry. This video explains the pros and cons of being a game developer and how game developers end up getting ripped off by game companies.

Mushrooms turned out to be more than just a hobby for Hunter Vargo. What started with a simple grow kit during quarantine became the beginning of a business that changed the direction of his life.

At 17 years old, Hunter had no fancy equipment or big budget. He learned the basics from YouTube, built a small grow setup with things he found around the house, and started growing enough mushrooms to bring to a local restaurant. That first “yes” gave him the confidence to keep going.

Over time, his mushroom business outgrew his bedroom and moved into a nearby farm, where he traded feeding animals for space to grow. Today, he supplies restaurants and one of the biggest farmers markets in Scranton, but getting there wasn’t easy. From contamination problems to long workdays and constant trial and error, every step taught him something new.

In this episode, Hunter shares what mushroom farming is really like, how he found his first customers, why relationships matter more than fancy marketing, and the lessons he learned by building a business instead of following the path he thought he had to take.
