Our tale follows the loquacious CECIL PEACHTREE (Malcolm McDowell) stuffy, well educated, English schoolteacher who's only lived his life's experiences through the books he so passionately loves, and DOOLEY(James Paxton) an illiterate outlaw who's lived a reckless and dangerous life of actual adventure.We open on CECIL standing on a dusty and desolate train platform. He's been traveling across the Old West on his way to the tiny, frontier town of Fortune, where he'll begin a new job, and a new chapter of his life, as headmaster of the local schoolhouse. But when he learns he has missed the last train, CECIL is left stranded in the middle of nowhere, not knowing what to do next.To make matters worse, CECIL is held up by DOOLEY, a fearsome gunslinger. After being robbed of all of his cash and personal possessions, CECIL harkens back to the age old adage made famous by Hippocrates, "Desperate times call for desperate measures". With no other options available to him, CECIL goes against his better judgment and proposes a deal; If DOOLEY agrees to escort him to Fortune, he can have CECIL'S entire teacher's stipend, a month's pay, which is awaiting him upon his arrival. Cash strapped, and desperate himself, DOOLEY reluctantly agrees. What unfolds is an arduous yet heartfelt journey, where our mismatched travelers form an uncommon bond. Along the way, they encounter ferocious bandits, harrowing horse chases, barroom brawls and bawdy saloon gals.At a time when books are being banned across the country and education itself is under attack, LAST TRAIN TO FORTUNE is an allegory about how knowledge sets us free, a theme that couldn't be more relevant than it is right now.  Also starring Mary Steenburgen and Bernadette Peters.Heres the trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qVU3wln7PI Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

When it’s extremely difficult to make up your mind.  Having the power of choice can actually weaken someone.  On this episode we’re going to put focus on the writers and producers of television who have taken on the censors and have rarely won.  Plus…making the choice to eat what we eat, is it draining us from well needed energy? I’m Arroe.  Life is a series of choices.  Who decides when you’re not making it the right choice?  Is it the fear of going wrong?  The greatest lessons in life are often lost inside hidden away attempts and concepts.  It’s time to reopen your heart.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Is there a difference between sharing an opinion and judging someone? Has recycling metal become the hot new side hustle? More importantly do we have to pay taxes?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

New York Times bestselling authors Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg turn their sharp reporting and propulsive writing to the NFL, going inside the most influential and successful teams-including the Eagles, the Ravens, and the Rams-and showing what it takes to build winning teams in the most competitive, brutal sports league in the world.The NFL is the toughest league in the world in which to build a winner-and it's not particularly close. Between the hard salary cap, constant rule changes, comprehensive revenue redistribution, and constraining player contracts, the league engineers parity with draconian efficiency. It punishes winners, elevates losers, and goes out of its way to prevent dynasties. By the laws of the NFL, this hard road to the top is a feature, not a bug.And yet, in the face of these intense obstacles, some teams have learned how to thrive, year after year. How does this happen? What separates the champions from the Sunday-afternoon chaff? Talent on the field and on the sidelines helps, but as Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg reveal the modern NFL is not won through Xs and Os alone. Instead there is a new calculus of winning in the world's most lucrative sports league. The teams that triumph exploit a range of loopholes from contract strategy to draft savvy to proprietary metrics, finding ways to extract ruthless efficiencies from a system built to strip away every advantage.Going inside the front offices and locker rooms of the most influential and forward-looking teams in today's NFL-from the Eagles to the Ravens to the Rams-Robinson and Clegg show the franchises that are using the NFL's rigid system to their own advantage, examining how they are drafting creatively, winning differently-and how the rest of league has yet to catch up. The result is a fascinating window into achieving success in the modern NFL and an unparalleled look at how the cunning it takes to win on the field starts in the most surprising of places.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
