Real News: Megalopolis, Four Winds, UWF and more

I apologize for not uploading these interviews until today. My Friday was filled with other projects.

Francis Ford Coppola’s new movie “Megalopolis” – is it a mega love fest, or a Megaflopolis? The film, a decades-in-the-works passion project for “The Godfather” director, was made with millions of his own money, and it’s been getting mixed reviews. It’s a good thing Jason Nathanson is here to cut through the clutter.

Because of Hurricane Helene, Dr. Martha Saunders, the president of the University of Florida, did not give her State of the University address on Sept. 26. However, she shared her thoughts with Inweekly.

“Part of our mission is that we have students from varied backgrounds, and as we’ve talked about before, we have set record enrollment every year for five years and again this year,” she shared. “And so, we’re happy to do that, but these students are more academically talented than ever before.”


During the first hour of the show, Rick talks with Sena Maddison, Walker Wilson, Anna Ryan, Jason Nathanson and Jerome Stuart.
