Welcome to Episode 7 of The STEEM Engine Express podcast.
The STEEM Engine Express is a podcast produced by Ethan D. Smith that features short summaries of five posts recently shared in the Discord community, The STEEM Engine.
Today's podcast opens with a special thank you message from my wife and me regarding last week's fundraiser for her classroom resources, so in the interest of time, there is no Featured Station segment in this episode.

I'm Ethan Smith, and this is The STEEM Engine Express.
We begin today by going to the movies. Passenger @coldsteem has recently begun reviewing various movies, some of which are brand new, and others which are lesser-known. I stumbled upon the series by first reading his review of the Sean Bean movie Black Death. ColdSteem impresses with his descriptions of movie plots and criticisms of their shortcomings. He has also reviewed the recent movies, Hostiles and The Maze Runner: Death Cure. Some of the reviews do contain spoilers, so you may want to avoid reading his reviews if you're planning to see one of the movies, but I do encourage you to read his thoughts and respond with your own!
Planning to quit your job and pursue other interests? STEEM Engine passenger @maxabit shares his thoughts on doing just that in his recent blog, "I'm Quitting My Job, What Next? Tips for Planning Your Own Online Business." The post is full of helpful insight into @maxabit's own entrepreneurial journey, including how to plan ahead and what to do to get started. @maxabit also provides tips on scheduling, maintaining relationships, and seeking out freelance work, so if you are looking to venture out on your own, give this post a read for some encouraging words!
Pizza has always been one of my favorite foods. Whenever I have the chance to try a new type or style of pizza, it's always a grand occasion. But I don't think I had ever seen anything quite like the pizza that Steemit user @asianetwork blogged about this week. If you're in Beijing and you're looking for pizza, @asianetwork says to look no further than Tube Station, a chain with fifteen stores across the city. If you're going with a group, Tube Station has you covered with their Party Monster pie, a 32 inch pizza that will feed at least 12 people for $83! Just how big is it? Check out @asianetwork's post for a photo!
Over the past few weeks, STEEM Engine passenger @bozz has shared a series of posts entitled, "Took a Little Trip to Nashville." The fourth and final part was published this week, where we get a look into the last few days of Bozz and his wife's trip to Nashville, Tennessee. The series is a great write up of the various places Bozz visited during his time there, so you'll want to check out all four posts in the series to get the full Nashville experience! See sights such as the Grand Ole Opry, the Parthenon replica, and a chance encounter with some TV personalities! If you've never been to Nashville, check out this series so you can plan your trip!
We end today with a very informative post about genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, a topic that is highly debated among consumers, regulatory authorities, and scientists. Passenger @filotasriza3 outlines the background information about GMOs, while presenting thorough looks into the pros and cons of using them for global agricultural purposes. If you don't know much about the debate, or you'd like to read more on both sides, check out this blog entitled, "GMOs: Are They Harmful Or Not?" as a beginning point for your research. You might be surprised by what you learn.
