As part of the legendary Grateful Dead, drummer Mickey Hart has built his more than 50-year career on uplifting others through music. And now, at a time when there has never been a greater need for healing, Hart is as busy as ever, knowing his music is necessary.

Having just wrapped up a tour with Dead & Company, where he got to witness tens of thousands of fans joined together on a nightly basis, he has immediately turned his attention to rhythmic unity through a new Planet Drum album.

In The Groove finds Hart uniting with Zakir Hussain, Giovanni Hidalgo and Sikiru Adepoju to showcase the power of the rhythm. The album leads off with the single "King Clave," which Planet Drum shared in a special video with charity organization Playing For Change.

I spoke with Hart about how Tito Puente changed his life, the recent Dead & Company tour, the power of music and much more.

Steve Baltin: When you listen to "King Clave," it's one of those things where there is such a feeling of unity in it. And at this point in time when we are so screwed as a society did that make a record focused on unity more important?.

Mickey Hart: Steve, we're out of rhythm, we've lost the groove and that's what this is all about. It's an example of how you can come together in unity, different cultures, playing together. Because music and rhythm has its own language. It brings people together in the groove, in rhythm. And we live in a real big universe. So everything vibrates in some shape or form. And we're just another multi-dimensional rhythm machine embedded in a universe of rhythm. So rhythm brings people together in life and that's really what music's primary focus is, bring people together in life. So, this was a 6,000-person Drum Circle that I directed little north of here, many years ago. It was a world record at the time. And so I use that as the basis because when I call it "King Clave," the Clave is the key. Clave means key. In many music's around the world, the clave is what we revolve around. It tells us where we are in the song, in the measures. And it's a constant thing, normally. And we depend on it as sort of a guide and a signpost. So, having 6000 drummers play the clave, which many people call "Bo Diddley Beat" Bo Diddley didn't invent it, but he made it popular is the spine of that particular song. There was somebody filming in an airplane overhead, and he said he could feel the sound waves rising and it moved his airplane, his wings, and so forth. And he was bobbing above the crowd as he went over and shot it. So it was an enormous sound wave. So, that became the basis of the "King Clave." And that's the story on the drum circle.

Baltin: When you get together with everybody and you do these drum circles, and then on the smaller level, when you play with your friends and when you're doing Dead & Company on the road, does it personally give you hope?

Hart: Of course, the main purpose of the whole thing is to bring people together and raise consciousness. It's about grouping, whether it be music, musicians grouping, or the fans grouping and interacting with the musicians. At night, when I play, I give it to them and then they give it back to me. Then I give it back to them. So there's this dance all night with energy moving and rippling through the crowd, onto the stage and back to them. So yeah, it's a gross rhythmic entertainment moment. And that makes you personally and group powerful. That's where the power comes from. When you play in a groove and rhythm with someone else, it raises the stakes as far as the healing factor of it, the grouping factor of it, the raising of consciousness part of it, the dance, which goes with all the rhythms. Yeah, they all come into play and that's what I do in life. I'm a musician, the main goal is consciousness raising. Like, sometimes people ask me "What's your business?" I say transportation. And that's how I look at it, because you transport people. Drumming and music is all about what we call auditory driving. You're driving the neurons in your brain and your brain is the master clock. Everything that the brain says, you do. And music goes through the ears and through the pores, I might add, directly to the brain. Then the brain distributes it in different parts of your body, whether it be your legs, your back, consciousness in general. So I do that for a living, and I also do that as that's what I do. I play every day, Saturdays and Sundays [laughter]. I never let it go. Sometimes longer than others, of course, but I'm always with the groove somehow, shape or form. So it's very powerful and it's an elixir, in a way, of life. The good life, good rhythm, good life. Bad rhythm, war, good rhythm, peace.

Baltin: How does this apply in your everyday life?

Hart: At home and with your family, it's a rhythmic thing with your spouse, your partner, your kids. You have an argument, you say, "We're not at rhythm here. Let's get a grip of this, let's reform and let's get back in the groove. Let's talk about this or let's put our feelings back into a place that we could deal with them." That means understanding what you're talking about or what you're feeling. There's no culture without its own music. And there is no culture on the whole planet that doesn't have a music, and most of it is rhythm driven. And it's all part of this spectacular thing we call the universe, because the universe was born 13.8 billion years ago, with a big bang we call the singularity, and that has been rippling through time and space, and it's affected us. We are made of the collisions and the supernovas and the inflation of the universe. That's who we are. And that's how I see the universe, in rhythmic terms. And making records, albums, is one thing, and performing is another thing. But they have a lot in common. Like you said, there's weird s**t on the right, and there's really weird s**t on the left. And people can come together in the center. And this is so bad for our country. And seeing all these cultures playing together, if it was me and I was looking up at the stage at us, I'd say, "Wow, there is Nigeria, there's India, there's Puerto Rico, there's America," there's all these different cultures playing in rhythm and being able to share a common goal, to come together as one throbbing, pulsing, throbbing vehicle. So, that's how I see it. That's the short of the long of it.

Baltin: Are you feeling a response from people that they are taking the lesson of unity to heart? And also, with the drum circle, it goes back to such a primal thing where it allows people to feel a little more.

Hart: Correct, all the things you said were absolutely correct. It's more about feeling than about critiquing of music. It's how you feel. Music is music if the ear hears it and likes it. If it disturbs the ear, the ear calls it noise, and it brings it to another level. But it's very individual, and this record was made to dance to. It wasn't a bunch of virtuosos playing virtuoso music. It's a rhythmic dance band. And that's why this one was different than the other two Planet Drums. I wanted people to dance. I wanted to get young people into it. And that's why immediately as soon as Playing For Change went up, there was 500,000 people taking a peak at it. The young people that dance and like to move and they love rhythm. This is all about rhythmic entertainment, playing together and forming something that's in sync and very powerful. And it's powerful spiritual material as well, I might add. That's where you get that jolt, and that's what keeps you going after a show. Dead & Company are playing three hours and 20, 30 minutes a night. And after I'm done lighting them up, they go home and they take that feeling with them and hopefully do some good with it. And it's not so much what they do at the concert, it's what they do after the concert that interests me. And taking that spiritual material and taking it to the next level. Go home, kiss your kids, do something happy because that's how you felt at the concert. The music exalts consciousness when it's right, and you come away with that shine, the smile, and you're moving. And if you take it into your daily life, that is really the big payoff. Besides them showing up and enjoying the music themselves, it's what they do with this spiritual uplifting feeling at the concert. I want to see what they do with it in the real world, in life. When they leave the concert, what do they leave with and what do they do with what they leave with? And that's of primary interest to me.

Baltin: Do you remember the first show you saw that gave you that spiritual uplifting?

Hart: Yep. I definitely remember the first band I heard that gave me that lift off was Tito Puente. He was a great Latin percussionist. I worked at a country club when I was very young, high school, and he played upstairs in the dining room. And so at night when he started, I would go in the kitchen area and watch. I got a garbage can, went in the kitchen, and I made two holes in it so I could see and I enjoyed my music inside the can, but that was the first memorable moment. It was the Tito Puente orchestra and everybody was dancing, different cultures there, white cultures, all kinds of different cultures were dancing. So that was good. I was really young. I was like 14 or 13, also the first marching band I heard. I loved him. I finally got to play with him at the very end of his life. One of the last shows he ever played, and we played together on the steps of the Library of Congress, actually. And that was it for me. Meeting my hero, again, and playing with him was woo. And he was playing my song. That was it for me. Once I heard Tito that was it.

Baltin: As you look back and reminisce on these things, do you still feel that Tito Puente influence in you and especially in Planet Drum?

Hart: Yeah, of course. Why do you think I call him King Clave because I first heard the Clave and it embedded in me with Tito Puente? So you're absolutely right. It's followed me my whole life in one form or another. And that's also what kind of made the world's music interesting for me. And I studied it and recorded it all over the years and just loved it. And it led me from one culture to another culture, but honoring our own American rock and roll, which is in me as well. So I love both sides of the fence.

Baltin: What was the last thing you saw where you felt that same visceral response?

Hart: It was the last night of the tour of Dead & Company. When you see 45 to 50 thousands of people in the stadium moving as one, you know that you've created unity, you know you've created powerful rhythms that people are reacting to. So that changes people, changes me. So when I see a whole stadium moving up and down to my groove, I go, "You are here, mission accomplished." Doesn't matter how good I play or anything like that. It's the feeling that I give the audience. I make mistakes all the time and I never dwell on them at all. I don't dwell on if I want something to happen and I can't execute it or I execute it not the way it should be. I move on immediately. It's like speed reading, you gotta keep moving and not dwelling at all, not for a split second. And that's the only way you can stay on trance. And that's what I do. That's everything, the trance. So yeah, that's the goal of my life besides my kids and my wife and my own health, and it also makes me healthy. Remember, I'm 78 years old and I'm driving stadiums 'cause I don't feel I'm straining, I'm in shape physically and mentally for it. But I don't take it for granted because many people can't play when they get to this age the hands hurt. Enough is enough and they quit. There's no retirement for me, man. The R word is not even in the dictionary. So that's how I feel about what I do. I'm very happy in who I am. I'm a happy person. I'm happy in my own skin and people I play with, as you know, are the best of the best. And that's how I like it. So playing with these guys its exciting as could be. And it's a challenge too.

Sunday Conversation: Mickey Hart On Dead & Company, Tito Puente And Why Hell Never Retire - Forbes

A new nightclub will soon open in the former Cactus Jacks location downtown, with the owners of the Blue Grotto reinventing a classic downtown nightlife destination.

Grotto owners David "Pup" Johnston and Sherri King are behind the venture at Lansdowne Street and Fifth Avenue.

King said she wants to create a safe and fun environment.

"We have such a diverse community and I'd like to expand on that," she said.

The new club, called Nightshift on Fifth, will be a bit different from CJs, turning to the Top 40 charts for nightly music and holding special culture-inspired events like Desi and Latino nights, appealing to international students attending Thompson Rivers University.

King said the club will have an industrial steampunk theme.

Johnston said the venture came about quickly, with the couple taking over the lease of the building and opening in a matter of months. The hope is to open at the end of August. With a liquor licence and the lease signed, all that's left to do is some remodelling including a new sign and a revamped interior.

"Kamloops is a little bit of an industrial town, so it's going to be kind of industrial, or steam punk, inside," Johnston said.

Johnston said he was approached a few times to take over the lease, but wasn't interested until recently, with nightlife returning and venues open without interruption.

"Not to sound altruistic, but I don't know if we're really doing this for us. I think we're doing this for Kamloops, he said. Not trying to pump my own tires, but there's a larger population moving into the downtown core and there's a lack of diverse nightlife here.

The Blue Grotto, just two blocks away at 319 Victoria St., is an age 21-plus club that focuses on live music mostly rock 'n' roll. The new club will cater to a slightly younger crowd, down to B.C.'s legal drinking age of 19.

Trying not to focus on hip-hop, rap and trance, Johnston said the club will rely on a house DJ playing pop music. He said other clubs, such as the Commodore at 369 Victoria St., may cater to other types of music.

Johnston said he's not trying to step on anyone's toes with the move.

"We've had a great working relationship for, well ... the Grotto has been here for 17 years and I've had it for almost five," Johnston said, adding that he and his wife have a combined 55 years in the nightlife industry.

"Losing the previous owner, that was a major blow for that name, for that Cactus Jacks brand. You can't recapture the lightning in a bottle that was Rob Medves," Johnston told KTW.

Medves owned the club until his death in 2015. The club continued to operate until 2018, when it was set to close before Jordan Landry stepped in.

The attempt to revive Cactus Jacks proved to be too much once the pandemic arrived.

Who/What has influenced you musically growing up?

From the earlier days of Trance & House music it was Judge Jules, Boy George, Eddie Halliwell, Carl Cox, Erick Morillo, Big Al, John oo Flemming, Fergie, Sen Fontaine . Im into a lot of music generally so a lot of influence came from other genres too.

For many DJs/Producers there is a journey that leads them to where they are, how did you get into music, producing and DJing?

Got into music heavily around 1998/1999. I used to listen to all my brother & brother in laws CDs and suggestions from them. But it was my brother who got me into Trance. I went to college and studied music technology when I was 18, from there I become a resident DJ at escape in Swansea. Escape was the biggest club in Wales at the time & probably one of the best clubs in the UK in its peak. I started making music around that time and after the club closed its doors, I went on and continued to make music and DJ.

First gigs can be a nerve racking experience, do you remember your first live gig and how did it go?

Haha, it was in Carmarthen In Wales and the guys running the night played hardstyle. They chucked me on first and the only people I was playing too were my brother and his mates. Still I was nervous as hell.

This hilarious video of a toddler who wont let his mom have a lick of his ice cream cone has hearts melting all over TikTok.

TikToker Kayleigh (@kayleigh.gray.2020) is a full-time parent from the UK who often posts adorable clips featuring her darling son, Grayson. Recently, Kayleigh shared a video of Grayson enjoying an ice cream cone, but when she asked if she could have a lick, the toddler had an adorably honest response.

The clip opens with a shot of the little boy seated between his parents on a park bench. He holds an ice cream cone with both hands and happily devours it, one satisfying slurp after another.

Clearly living his best life, Grayson stares off into the distance in a trance-like state. However, his moment of sugary bliss is interrupted when Kayleigh asks, Can mummy have a lick?

No. Dont be weird, the toddler immediately retorts as if this were the most preposterous request in the world.

Kayleigh and her partner start cracking up over Graysons frank refusal. The video ends the same way it began, with Grayson slurping up his ice cream cone.

Kayleighs video had hearts melting all over TikTok like ice cream in the summer sun.

Such a cutie pie! I love the way he slurps it, complimented one user.

Is this animated? So cute, said one TikToker.

Aww, thats my guy! I dont want to share my ice cream either, one ice cream lover shared.

Warning: Some may find the following topics triggering.

Since it premiered on Netflix back in 2016, Stranger Things has captivated audiences with its compelling mix of sci-fi/horror and good ol 80s nostalgia. The mysterious world of the Upside Down came with terrifying monsters the characters had to defeat, but this seasons villain, Vecna, is the most horrific yet, and not for the reasons one might think.

Sure, Vecna is powerful, with abilities that surpass even Elevens. But what makes him so scary is that he is the personification of depression, trauma, and suicidality. Through Vecnas targets Chrissy, Fred, Patrick, and especially Max Stranger Things Season 4 presents the most heart-wrenching yet cathartic allegory for depression and suicide.

The most potent allegory comes with Max Mayfields main storyline. Shes dealing with immense depression over the death of her stepbrother Billy, who was killed last season by the Mind Flayer.

Between these two seasons, the guilt seems to have eaten away at her, because the very first episode presents a Max who is a shell of herself. Her wit and personality have been replaced with an aura of sadness. She blames herself for her brothers demise, and consequently, suffers from survivors guilt, believing she could have done more to save him. Her nightmares and flashbacks are signs of PTSD. Her witty personality is dampened and shes isolating herself from her closest friends. Shes seeing the school counselor but has trouble opening up to her.

These are all symptoms of depression, and as if this illness wasnt difficult enough to endure, Vecna steps in to make it even worse. It is revealed that he is the one inflicting the nightmares and flashbacks, amplifying the immense feeling of guilt, feeding into her deep sorrow.

Its clear Max is suffering terribly, especially as signs of suicidal ideation begin to make themselves very apparent.

After Vecna murders Chrissy and the others, he continues to torment Max with horrifying visions, feeding her false belief that shes to blame for Billys death and adding to her psychological instability. Eventually, in Episode 4, Dear Billy, Max realizes Vecna is coming for her next, which prompts her to write letters to her loved ones. Presumably, these are goodbye letters, and its common for such letters to be left behind by victims of suicide.

Shortly after this scene, she goes with Lucas, Steve, and Dustin to the cemetery where Billy is buried. The three friends know something is up, so Lucas tries to stop Max before she goes to her step brothers grave. Just talk to me. To your friends, Lucas pleads with her. Were right here. Im right here.

Maxs expression displays a mixture of contemplation and emotional numbness before she turns from Lucas and towards Billys grave. This is yet another parallel to real-life depression. In many cases, such as with Max, the sufferer may feel that they are bad and unworthy of help, causing them to push away their support systems.

Away from her friends, she begins to read the heartfelt and heart-wrenching letter to her step-brothers headstone. And once she finishes reading the letter, Vecna strikes.

The villain pulls her into the Upside Down while her physical body remains in the cemetery, eyes rolled back in a trance-like state. Luckily, Steve, Dustin, and Lucas rush to her aid, playing Kate Bushs Running Up That Hill through a walkman while they desperately scream for her to come back. But sufferers of depression cant just snap out of it, just as Max couldnt snap out of the trance Vecna put her in.

While this is happening in the cemetery, Vecna has Max trapped in the Upside Down. She has visions of a bloodied Billy, who tells her she wanted him to die, and reminds her of how she sometimes wishes she couldve followed him into death.

That is why I am here, Max, the vision of Billy says. To end your suffering once and for all.

Thats really all sufferers of depression want for their suffering to end. And sometimes, its difficult to see any other way out.

Trapped in the dark, bleak, grotesque world of the Upside Down, it seems there isnt any other way out for Max, either. Vecna is about to kill her her depression is about to kill her.

Here is where the iconic Running Up That Hill scene begins. Steve, Lucas, and Dustin run to her aid, playing the Kate Bush song through a walkman in hopes of bringing Max back. Just as music can be a very useful coping mechanism in real life, music serves as a temporary escape for Max as well. The song cuts through the darkness, and in the distance, Max can see her friends crowded around her body, pleading for her to come back.

In her darkest, most desperate hour, Max can see how much her friends love her. Flashbacks of her happiest memories play in her mind as the music swells and a semblance of hope seems to return to her. This gives her the strength to break away from Vecna and run to her friends, dodging everything the Upside Down throws at her in an attempt to thwart her escape. She returns to her body in the Hawkins cemetery, jolts awake, and falls down to the ground, her friends there to catch her and comfort her.

Once again, this scene allegorizes the experience of depression and suicidal ideation, this time emphasizing how powerful a steadfast support system can be. When Max is at her lowest, her friends stick by her. Shes able to see and realize how much shes wanted and remembers happy moments. And though it is anything but easy, she finally has the strength to run to the people who love her and accept their help.

Though Max appears a little less downtrodden throughout the rest of the season, shes nowhere near in the clear. Just as with any mental illness in the real world, coming back from a major depressive episode and narrowly escaping a suicide attempt is only the beginning of the recovery process.

Max continues to wear the walkman, constantly listening to Running Up That Hill, and while music can be a good distraction and grounding tool, it only works temporarily for people who are suffering mentally. This is evident in the way that Max can avoid Vecna with music, yet cannot completely rid herself of him.

Max sticks close to her friends for the rest of the season, and her friends stick close to her. There are scenes where her friends keep checking in on her and get a little frightened when shes out of their sight for even a minute, afraid Vecna could strike again at any moment. This is similar to how, when a person is experiencing a mental health crisis, their loved ones may remain physically close to them should any self-harm thoughts resurface.

Stranger Things Season 4s underlying theme of mental health struggles is powerful, especially for sufferers of depression and suicidal ideation. When done correctly, it can be cathartic for someone to see their experience reflected to them on screen. Stranger Things lives up to this standard, as it conveyed the experience of depression through Max and Vecna in an artistic yet relatable and accurate way, including the symptoms one might feel and the enormous difficulty that is recovery.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988, or text TALK to 741-741 to reach the Crisis Text Line.

Stranger Things Addresses Depression and Mental Health in the Most Crucial Way - Goalcast

Gone in the Night is a shaky, imbalanced thriller mystery film that seems somewhat lost in its own tale. Setting out to tell the story of a couple who go through an awkward time on their weekend getaway, the narrative shifts between timelines and ultimately ends itself not so satisfactorily. Surprise twists are left too late to have much effect, and there is hardly much to watch here other than Winona Ryders performance, maybe.

Spoilers Ahead

Kath and Max have been in a relationship for around a year now, and the two set out for a getaway trip to a remote house in the woods that Max has booked for themselves. As Kath drives and discusses the suddenness of the trip with her boyfriend, it seems that Maxs haste in pushing for the vacation was because of his girlfriends love for nature and the outdoors. Finally, when Kath is tired of the long drive and the endless navigation instructions that she has had to follow, the two reach their destination much later in the evening. However, the scene that greets them is very unlike the romantic trip they had imagined for themselves, as the couple spots another car already parked in front of the house. Even before they can process such information, a man, visibly quite younger than them, walks out onto the porch looking at their car. Sure that there is some sort of confusion going on, as he had booked the house online and paid for it in full as well, Max goes over to have a word with the man, and Kath follows in a few moments.

The man argues that he and his girlfriend are occupying the house from before, and is quite dismissive of Max and Kath when they try to tell him of their booking. As a minor argument goes on for some time, a woman, quite clearly the strangers girlfriend, walks out of the cabin and offers the protagonist couple to spend the night inside the property along with them. Despite the plight that they would fall into if they drive away from the cabinthere are no hotels anywhere nearby, and Kath is clearly tired of all the driving and would herself have to drive again as Max does not know how to; Kath does not wish to intrude and wants to drive away. But when Max goes over and has a word with her, particularly about her already having had a lot of adventures, Kath quickly changes her mind and decides to stay at the cabin. The two couples get to know each other, and Al and Greta (the other couple) are not just much younger than our protagonists, but their choices and likes in life are also very different. Gradually, as they spend the night drinking and playing suggestive board games together, Kath feels that the easy-going Greta is trying hard to flirt with Max, and Max, too, is responding to it. Already tired of the journey and also a bit weirded out by this new happening, she retires to her room early and goes to sleep by herself.

When Kath wakes up the next morning, she notices that she is still alone in her bed, and then, stepping out of her room, she sees that she is alone in the whole house. With no cellular network at the place and also remembering about a walking trail that apparently goes over to a nearby beach from the house, she takes the path in search of her boyfriend. Within a few minutes, she runs into Al, who looks very disturbed, sitting with his face in his hands, and the young man claims that Greta and Max have actually romanced each other and have run away together. Shocked at the act of her partner, who is indeed nowhere to be seen, Kath runs back to the house and then drives back home on her own.

By now, Kath is already established as a woman who is rather shaky and under-confident about herself, especially about her growing age. The fact that her boyfriend, Max, is a few years younger than her does not help too much either. The woman had been a teacher to Max in a continuing education class when the two had developed an interest in each other and had then started their relationship. Despite starting off on very good terms, possibly, their differences had started to show as Max was more into getting themselves into seemingly dangerous, or as he calls it, adventurous, situations, while Kath did not really enjoy these. After Maxs disappearance, due to his apparent whirlwind romance with Greta, Kath wanted to let the matter be initially, as she tells her close friend that the situation was perhaps a boon as her relationship with Max was not going well. But within some time, curiosity catches up with her, and she tries searching for Greta on the internet but finds nothing. She then finds out about the owner of the property, the house in the woods where they had gone, and she calls the number up. The call is answered by a man named Nicholas Barlow, who insists that he cannot give out private details of any guests to anyone, and decides to meet Kath about her inquiry instead.

The two meet the next day, and Barlow seems a serious but helpful man who rather enjoys his conversation with Kath. The woman comes clean about what exactly has happened to her and why she wants to track Greta down, and Nicholas does not mind helping her. During their conversation, Kath also learns, through a stranger who walks into the caf they are in, that Nicholas Barlow had actually been a pioneer in a biotech startup in partnership with this stranger. This startup was being bought over by GlaxoSmithKline for a lot of money, but Barlow ultimately made his way out of it and lived a reclusive life from then on. As Kath and Barlow keep meeting over time, and eventually share a lot about themselves, the man says that his father had passed away from a genetic disease of the nerves called synaptic hypertropia just before the deal was signed, and this made him wonder about his own life. Having decided that he did not want a usual life just chasing financial checkpoints, Barlow had given up his professional career, had bought the cabin in the woods and moved in there to spend life by himself.

Going over to the address mentioned by Greta in her booking details, Kath finds the young woman entering an underground music performance and follows her there. Facing Kath, Greta awkwardly apologizes to her for being a home-breaker, so to speak, but her words do not seem too genuine. She kind of suggests that Max has started a relationship with her and does not really care about Kath anymore, and it appears like she has a sense of rubbing it in Kaths face. The young woman then drops her phone, and Kath takes a glance at the wallpaper, which is Gretas face beside the sleeping face of Max. Heartbroken and feeling rather disrespected, Kath drives over with Barlow, and the man now shares his lifes wisdom with her, talking about how he fears his fathers nervous system disease is bound to pass on to his body soon, as it is genetic. Kath asks whether he is doing fine so far, and the man reveals that he has, in fact, been researching the illness for thirty years, trying to come up with a transfusion therapy treatment against it. Once back at her home, Kath goes through the process of getting over her lover, who had clearly ditched her, and it does not seem to take her too much effort either, as she burns off Maxs hat, signifying that she wants to get over it. She then drives over to Barlows house in the woods one afternoon, hoping to meet him and spend some time together, possibly even wanting to turn their friendly relationship into a romantic one.

Along with all these things happening, Gone in the Night also spreads scenes of flashbacks over the course of its narrative, which reveal past incidents in Maxs life before their getaway trip, and the film builds up its tension and mystery in this manner. Only a day before they had driven to the woods, Max and Kath were hosting a few of Kaths friends for dinner, and Max was quite visibly detached from the serious conversations that they were having. He did try his best but felt rather ridiculed when his girlfriend made fun of his habit of wearing limited-edition, hard-to-find clothes. Leaving the party, pretending to buy some more wine, Max went over to a grocery store where he ran across a young couple having some sort of disagreement. This couple was the same that was earlier shown, that of Al and his girlfriend, Greta. Exchanging rather judgmental comments at first, Max agreed to go have a drink with the couple, perhaps, because of Gretas flirtatious questions towards him, which continued throughout the evening that the three spent together. The couple had then told Max about a music show that was about to take place two days later, and asked him to drive down to the cabin in the woods the next day, where they would spend the night and go over to the show the following morning.

Max returned home with this idea, and instead of going alone, he decided to take Kath along. When the couple arrived at the house the next evening, Al and Greta were initially shocked, and even a bit scared, especially Al, as it seemed that they had some ill intentions in mind, but Greta insisted her boyfriend play along with the whole scene. Max spoke to Al in private, telling him that he had decided to surprise his girlfriend by bringing her here, and Greta then let them stay. However, with the information now having been established that the house was actually not a place rented out, but rather Al and Greta had invited Max there, it raises a number of questions about Nicholas Barlows involvement in all this and what his real intentions are. At present, when Kath appears at Barlows door, he politely asks her in and then excuses himself, saying that he needs to gather firewood and walks into the forest area.

As Kath spends time by herself inside Barlows house, she goes around casually looking at things, and now stumbles upon a photograph of Barlow and Al, which clearly suggests that the two are father and son. The entire atmosphere changes into one of tension as Kath spots a locked door and opens it up with Barlows set of keys, which he had left on the counter. She then walks out into the woods and sees a large cargo container, and once again uses Barlows keys to get in. Here, she receives the shock of her life as she sees Max lying on a makeshift operation table, alive but with multiple medical incisions made on his body through which his blood is being pulled out into blood bags. She tries to wake him up, but Max only replies with gibberish, in a drugged trance. On the other hand, Al and Greta had been inside Barlows house when Kath had knocked, which made the young couple run out and hide in the woods. When Barlow excuses himself to go gather firewood, he actually meets them, and when they return to the house, they find that Kath has opened up the locked room leading to the section of the woods where they had abducted and kept Max. They, too, now go to the cargo container, and things fall into place through their confrontation.

Al had been convinced that his father, Nicholas Barlow, had the same synaptic hypertrophy that had killed his grandfather, and was desperate to help his father recover from the illness. He knew of his fathers research into a blood transfusion treatment and also knew that they needed fresh blood, meaning a donor, to carry out the transfusion. He and his girlfriend, Greta, had planned the entire scheme to lure Max into their house, and Kaths presence only slightly affected this plan. They had managed to get Max out of the house, and had then abducted him and handed him over to Barlow. The father keeps insisting that he did not have any idea about his son and his girlfriends twisted plans before they had actually carried them out, but Greta now makes a grave revelation about the man. She produces a medical document that shows that Barlow did not actually have the neurotic disease and was essentially doing the whole transfusion therapy to renew his blood cells with that of a younger man, trying to lengthen his already natural life. Greta also admits that she had actually played along with the whole plan because she herself wanted to lengthen her own life in the same manner, and her character turns out to be a rather evil one who insists that they should now kill Kath. Al, who genuinely believed that his father was dying, confronts the man, saying that he should have told him the truth, and Al ultimately sides with his father rather than his girlfriend. Kath had earlier tried to stop the blood transfusion process and pull out the IV channels on Maxs body, but Barlow claimed that doing so would not help him as the blood of their two bodies (Max and Barlows) now shared a single blood supply source, and Max would have to stay in this process forever. Kath now suddenly claims that she wants to receive this transfusion herself, saying that she too had unfairly used Maxs young age in a slightly different manner as she tried to feel young herself through Max, and essentially bought some unattended time for herself. During this short time, she decides to take the chance of rescuing Max and pulls out all the IV channels from his body, and walks him towards the exit. Greta tries to get in the way, but she is stopped by Al, on the instructions of Barlow, who does not want to do any harm to Kath. However, in an even more surprising twist, Max, in his delusional trance, rips out a tube attached to his throat, spitting out blood everywhere, and the man dies quickly from extreme blood loss. Kath leaves the container alone and locks it up from the outside with Barlow, Al, and Greta still in it. She then rushes to her car, looks at her aging skin once again in the rearview mirror, and comes out again to enter the empty cabin. Kath goes over to a window and looks out towards the woods, and Gone in the Night rolls its end credits here.

The director has evidently kept a mystery, or at least an air of uncertainty, with the ending, as Kath first decides to leave and then suddenly decides against it. Whether her decision to enter the empty cabin again was to take a breather from all the sudden emotional and physical shocks that she faced over the last few minutes, or whether her intentions were something else, is left to ones imagination. However, with the sort of characterization that Kath has been given throughout the film, her issues about her growing age and its physical manifestations are real. Now that her boyfriend is also dead, she probably has very little to lose and might actually force Barlow to transfuse blood for her, which would then stop her aging process. Gone in the Night keeps away its crux for far too long and then presents all of it so rapidly that it hardly has any effect. The twists, in the end, do not convince at all, and ultimately make the film a disappointing watch.

Gone in the Night is a 2022 Drama Thriller film directed by Eli Horowitz.

'Gone In The Night' Ending, Explained: What Happens To Kath And Max? | DMT - DMT

A Stranger Things x Lizzo crossover is not something we had on our 2022 bingo cards, but now that its happened, we couldnt be more grateful.

On August 3, Jamie Campbell Bower the actor behind Stranger Things season 4s sinister villain, Vecna made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. During the interview, host Jimmy Fallon asked Jamie to recite several iconic phrases from pop culture in Vecnas menacing voice.

For you, Jimmy, anything, Jamie said, before repeating Julia Robertss famous Im just a girl line from Notting Hill, the Cocoa Puffs slogan, and Roses passionate declaration to Jack in Titanic, I want you to draw me like one of your French girls.

Then, to our absolute delight, Jamie delivered a spine-chilling rendition of Lizzos summertime bop, About Damn Time.

In a minute I'm a need a sentimental man or woman to pump me up. Feeling fussy, walkin' in my Balenci-ussy's, tryna bring out the fabulous, he sang in his demonic tenor. Yes, weve watched it a dozen times over. Yes, we need him to recite the whole song. And yes, we cannot believe how seamlessly he drops his voice to the unhuman level of Vecnas.

Earlier in the interview, Jamie detailed the process of creating the monsters unforgettable roar.

It took a few months to get right, he shared. We did the read-through, and I was there kind of at the table reading with everyone. I sat behind Millie [Bobby Brown] and I was doing the voice, and it started in this like very kind of like nasally kind of area, kind of more like Freddie Kreuger and it just wasnt landing.

He went on to explain that he researched past horror villains such as Hellraiser and the actor behind Pinhead, Doug Bradley. From there, he landed on the deep, booming voice that seems to come out of the darkness.

I loved it, it was amazing, Jamie added. So I just kind of worked on that, and Im a singer so I kind of just relaxed myself, relaxed my larynx.

In any case, About Damn Time is most definitely a song that could snap us out of Vecnas trance just as long as hes not the one singing it.

We all go through strange situations at work every once in a while, but while most of us can try and escape the awkward situation by leaving the room, flight attendants, on the other hand, have it the worst. Thats because theyre basically trapped with the rest of the passengers in a tube flying thousands of miles in the air.

So we reached out to some of them to tell us their stories, and they didnt disappoint. We got everything from the bizarre to the funny and wholesome.

Amira explains that she was on an Indian flight, standing with the rest of the cabin crew near one of the planes doors. Moments later, a woman made her way there, stood opposite the door, and got into a squat position in front of it.

She sat like that for a while, so Amira walked toward her and asked if she could offer the woman any form of assistance; the woman just looked back at her and asked for water.

Amira quickly brought the woman a cup of water, but the woman didnt move, stayed in that squatting position, and made weird facial expressions, which made the situation awkward.

Amira asked her if everything was ok. When the woman didnt respond, she politely asked her to return to her seat; thats when the woman stood up, took the cup of water, and left. After the ordeal was finally over, to Amiras horror, she found that the woman had pooped on the floor.

Flights can be deafeningly noisy; the plane is soaring in the air, theres sometimes turbulence, and its normal to see flight attendants using hand gestures to relay messages across to indicate yes or no. Unfortunately for Mona, things didnt go well on one of her flights to Barcelona, Spain.

While on a noisy flight, one of the passengers asked for something to drink, and since Mona was a bit far from him, she gave him the thumbs up to indicate that she understood what he wanted and went to fetch it.

However, as soon as she turned around, the man jumped out of his seat and started yelling that she was rude and that he couldnt believe how someone from the crew could be so unprofessional. Mona was taken aback by the remarks since she didnt know what she had done wrong. This led the passenger sitting next to the yelling man to be confused and try to calm him down.

After some deliberation and talking to understand why the man was so angry, they found the source that led to this misunderstanding. It turns out that the thumbs-up hand gesture from where the man comes from is an insult rather than meaning ok, which made him feel offended when Mona did it.

The crew swiftly diffused the situation, and things got back to normal. Let this be a lesson to you if you meet someone from Iraq, Iran, Greece, and parts of Italy, never make the thumbs-up gesture as its an insult there.

If youre ever on a plane, youll find a button above you to call on one of the flight attendants if you need anything, like a drink or a pillow. When you press that button, they get a notification and come straight away to assist you, turning it off to indicate that they resolved the situation. One man on Nohas flight liked that button, a little too much perhaps.

On a flight to Bangladesh having a complete female cabin crew except for a male supervisor, a first-time passenger pressed the button, not knowing what it did, so when Noha appeared to help the man, he was very confused.

Noha asked him if he needed anything, but he continued to stare at her with astonishment. She asked him if he was ok or if he needed any medical assistance, but the man kept looking at her. Repeating her question, he finally snapped out of his trance, thanked her, and rejected needing anything; so she turned off the button and left.

A few moments later, the man pressed the button again, prompting another female flight attendant to go, and the same situation happened to her. She asked if the man needed anything to drink, but he just stared, rejected assistance, and the flight attendant left, turning off the button as she did so.

Noha stated that this situation kept happening several times, with the man doing the same thing over and over again until he pretty much saw all the crew on the flight. So the crew decided to confront him to understand what was going on. However, the supervisor stepped in and went to talk to the man himself to figure out what the problem was and defuse the situation.

He walked up to the passenger and asked if he needed any assistance or something to drink; the passenger finally responded, whenever I press this button, a beautiful lady appears, and I want to see all the nationalities you have.

While some people might see this situation as endearing, others find it a bit uncomfortable, so if youre a first-time flier, please respect their time, as they have a whole lot of other passengers to work with.

Theres a certain GCC airline thats known for the impressive features on their planes, such as a lounge and showers area; however, that bit of information led to an awkward situation on Salmas flight.

On a flight to Budapest, Hungary, things started fine, the plane took off smoothly without any issues, and as soon as the captain turned off the seatbelts sign, a man stood up, got a large towel from his bag, and made his way to the crews area. He asked Salma where the bathrooms were, which she indicated were at the end of the aisle. She kept an eye on the economy class passenger as he made his way to the bathroom, got in, and then instantly got back out again, confused.

The passenger came back to Salma, asking about the showers, leading her to explain that the showers area was in first and business class and that there wasnt one in economy class. This information shocked the passenger, who stood there confused, both he and Salma silently looking at each other.

Unfortunately, he felt defeated and went back to the bathroom and got inside, leaving Salma confused since there were very small sinks in there and he couldnt wash up there.

If you thought your proposal was cute, check this one out.

Khaled shared how one of his fellow flight attendants got proposed to by her significant other on a flight he was on.

The boyfriend collaborated with the rest of the cabin crew and got on the plane without her knowing. He gave the crew a large bouquet to hide and distributed printed-out masks of his face to the rest of the passengers with instructions on what to do next.

After the flight took off, everyone wore the masks he passed out, creating a sea of people with the same face stunning the flight attendant; he then showed up, revealing that it was actually him.

While the flight attendant was still surprised by his presence, he got down on one knee and proposed to her on the flight. After saying yes, the crew appeared with the hidden bouquet, which he handed her all while everybody on the flight cheered and applauded.
