    Say Hello to My Little Friend -...

    When Brian DePalma's operatically violent and profane Scarface debuted in 1983, the film drew almost as much fire as the relentless gunfire in the film itself. The movie was a remake of 1932's Scarface—revamped for a new era of drugs, sex, and graphic violence. Attacked as both a celebration of cocaine-fueled excess and a condemnation of it, the film's reputation only grew as the years went by. But the real story of its success started nearly a century ago—when Hollywood first fell in love with the American gangster . . . 
 
 
 
Hollywood's infatuation with money, power, and organized crime has captured the public's imagination and made Scarface one of its most enduring modern myths. From a 1912 gangster film by D. W. Griffith to the 1932 hit Scarface starring Paul Muni, to Brian DePalma's 1983 shocker, the antihero's rise and fall exposes the dark side of the American Dream—whether it's Prohibition Era bootleggers or modern-day drug dealers. When actor Al Pacino got the idea of doing a remake of Scarface after screening the original, a legend was (re)born—and the rest is history. With guns blazing and chainsaws whirring, movie biz writer Nat Segaloff tears into this pop culture phenomenon with fascinating insights, stunning revelations, and a true fan's glee. This is a must-listen book for movie buffs, crime lovers, and culture vultures everywhere.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
In her deeply personal memoir, Beneath the Radar, Naomi Jessop takes readers on an intimate journey through the labyrinth of her life—a path marked by judgment, influence, and the often painful process of carving out an identity distinct from the narratives imposed upon her. 
Exploring struggles with depression, anxiety, and PTSD, this memoir sheds light on the dark corners of the mind and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. It also dives into the complexities of LGBTQ+ identity and self-acceptance in a world that often resists both. 
At its heart, Beneath the Radar is a story about family—about longing for connection, navigating fractured relationships, and finding love and understanding amidst chaos. 
With unflinching honesty and emotional depth, Naomi reveals what it truly means to grow, heal, and find yourself in a world eager to define you. 
Beneath the Radar is more than a memoir—it’s a mirror for anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood, mislabelled, or misplaced. It’s an invitation to see the human story beneath the surface—and a testament to the strength it takes to rise, to speak, and to be seen.
