    From the beginning, Rambo was more than a character in a 1972 novel by David Morrell. He was the culmination of the author's personal encounters with veterans returning from the Vietnam War. The 1982 movie adaptation of First Blood reflected the novel's powerful insights into a troubled veteran's postwar experience. Then in 1985, the film's explosive sequel Rambo: First Blood Part II transformed the character into something shockingly different. With a focus on blood-and-guts action, Rambo became an invincible one-man army. A new kind of hero for a new day in America. A pop-culture icon as controversial as he was crowd-pleasing—blasting his way through the influential action film franchise in Hollywood history. The Rambo legend was born. 
     
     
     
    Five feature films. Three novels. Seven video games. Countless comic books, action figures, and even an animated show for kids. The Rambo machine has been as unstoppable as Rambo himself. Now for the first time, Hollywood insider Nat Segaloff digs deep into the man, the myth, and the massive impact of the phenomenon known as "The Rambo Effect." Packed with behind-the-scenes anecdotes, cultural insights, and debates about violence in the media, this is an explosive no-holds-barred report from the front lines of Hollywood mythmaking. A must-listen for Rambo fans, movies buffs, and anyone interested in American culture.

    JURASSIC PARK

    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Jurassic Park is a 1993 science fiction adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on Michael Crichton’s novel. The story follows a group of experts and visitors who are invited to a futuristic theme park on an isolated island, where genetically engineered dinosaurs roam free. The park’s creator, John Hammond, promises a revolutionary experience, but when a series of malfunctions occur, the visitors must navigate through dangerous encounters with the recreated prehistoric creatures. The film explores themes of scientific ethics, the unpredictability of nature, and the consequences of tampering with genetic engineering, blending thrilling action with thought-provoking questions. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “The success of Jurassic Park and its book sparked a significant rise in the popularity of paleontology, resulting in a marked increase in students pursuing the subject.” 
      
    “The roars of the Tyrannosaurus Rex were created by combining sounds from various animals, including dogs, penguins, tigers, alligators, and elephants.” 
      
    “Michael Crichton originally envisioned John Hammond as a character inspired by a darker version of Walt Disney.” 
      
    “Universal Pictures acquired the film rights to Michael Crichton's novel for $2 million before it was even published.” 
      
    “The Mr. DNA cartoon, appearing around the 25-minute mark in the movie, was Steven Spielberg’s way of quickly summarizing much of the novel’s exposition.”

    Funny Voices in Small Padded...

    There are "how to" books on voiceover or voice acting and then, there is this singular book on the truth of the voiceover business. 
    Superbly narrated with extensive sound design, Todd brings over three decades of knowledge and experience in voiceover to the table. Weaving stories of the voiceover industry and its history, Todd reveals the raw truth of the business in what can only be described as an aural sculpture. 
    In comparison to most eBook/audiobook offerings, this book is like no other; setting precedent for sonic entertainment within the audiobook/e-book realm. 
    With the release of this book, Todd Schick throws down the gauntlet using the power of his voice and pen. Blending sound, comedy, drama and personal experiences, it boldly reveals the genuine, honest truth everyone should hear about the modern-day voiceover industry. 
    From the inventor of the modern-day voice talent business model, Todd Schick brings a cast of voices from many sources and colleagues (including his dog and parrot) to this rare, entertaining and incredibly informative publication on voiceover and voice acting; the first in an on-going series. 
    From the Author's Introduction: 
    "There is no such thing as the "bible" of voiceover or voice acting; to make that claim is to sell someone a dream. 
    Indeed, books on voiceover or voice acting are rarely narrated by the author, much less feature sound design. 
    Voiceover is an aural product; spoken words born from imagination, to communicate imagination. I could not in good conscience publish a book on voiceover without recording it; doing anything less would speak to the integrity of the content and author. 
    In my humble opinion, it's pointless to publish any book on voiceover and/or voice acting if the customer can't hear the product. That said, if you choose to purchase the e-book version of this publication, be sure to listen to it; you'll really be missing out by simply reading text.
