We're amused by the premature arrival of Christmas music and memes, but our real focus is on the mysterious Michael Myers in "Halloween 4," the chillingly creative "Hell House LLC," and the animated eeriness of "Monster House." As an added treat, brace yourself for our upcoming interview with esteemed actor Peter Jacobson, who'll share insights from his roles in "House," "Fear the Walking Dead," and "Ahsoka."Get ready to reminisce about the dark allure of "The Crow" with its 90s grit and the whimsical world of "Halloween Town," where family-friendly fantasy meets Halloween magic. We explore the chilling appeal of Stephen King's "Silver Bullet" and its vintage non-CGI werewolf effects. Our conversation threads its way through the horror genre's varied tones, from supernatural fright to nostalgic charm, ensuring a diverse cinematic journey that celebrates Halloween in all its forms.Our nostalgic journey doesn't stop with films; we recall the rebellious days of playing "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" with its unforgettable 80s vibe.

The Last Outlaws Impact Studios at UTS In a History Lab season like no other, we're pulling on the threads of one of Australia's great misunderstood histories, moving beyond the myths to learn what the Aboriginal brothers Jimmy and Joe Governor faced in both life and death.Australia's budding Federation is the background setting to this remarkable story, that sees the Governor brothers tied to the inauguration of a 'new' nation and Australia's dark history of frontier violence, racial injustice and the global trade and defilement of Aboriginal ancestral remains. This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
