Almost PlausibleDo you think a 7 year old steal a $100 bill? Or would they even realize its value?<br> <br> On our 100th episode of the podcast, a hard-working single mom finds a $100 bill and she can't believe her luck. When the bill returns to her the next day after having spent it, she really can't believe her luck! But when she realizes the bill is causing harm, she starts to question how lucky she really is.<br> <br> Listen now: <a href="https://bit.ly/44r82tC" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/44r82tC</a><br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AlmostPlausible?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AlmostPlausible</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/100DollarBill?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#100DollarBill</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Lucky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lucky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Cursed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cursed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Podcast?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Podcast</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Comedy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Comedy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Improv?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Improv</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Screenwriting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Screenwriting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Movie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Movie</a>
Dr. Rosanne Welch<p>Lois Weber: More than a Writer-Director She’s the Auteur Activist of Early Cinema – Dr. Rosanne Welch, Script Magazine, April 2025</p><p>Film studies courses often still fawn all over Cecil B. DeMille and D.W. Griffith.&nbsp; Rather than wallowing in the racist messages of&nbsp;Birth of a Nation,&nbsp;professors should focus on the work of Lois Weber, whose use of screenwriting in her activism lends continued relevance to her work. In an era where we bask in the social justice messages of&nbsp;Get Out,&nbsp;by writer-director Jordan Peele, it seems only right to connect the dots from Weber to Peele.
