From Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman's creation of mutated turtles wielding nunchucks, the history of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles starts with humble, and slightly dark origins, but they would evolve from comic book characters to beloved animated icons and become their own pop culture phenomenon.The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie franchise in total has accumulated $1.15 billion across six movies from three studios since 1990, and so when Paramount were looking to reboot existing IP, it made total sense to go for the heroes in a half shell, and to get permanent teenager Seth Rogen aboard.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem blends 2D and 3D elements to create a fresh visual experience that sets it apart from previous Turtles adaptations, and for the first time uses actual teenagers to voice the Turtles, capturing their essence and making their teenage struggles relatable and authentic. It addresses themes of family and acceptance, resonating with audiences through the Turtles' journey to find their place in the world, as well as finding mutants just like themselves along the way.While the visuals are iconic, the film's soundtrack might be even more so, which features classic East Coast hip hop tracks, and a bit of Vanilla Ice's iconic 'Ninja Rap' from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze.

You just don't know you're fighting it yet.**In 1884, Edwin Abbott wrote *Flatland* - a mathematical romance about a two-dimensional world where beings live as shapes on a plane, unable to perceive the third dimension of depth. He thought he was writing social satire.**He was actually writing a transmission about 2026.**About YOU.Living in a reality you think is solid, complete, “realistic” - while being completely blind to dimensions you can't perceive.**Your worth measured in 2D metrics:** Credentials. Salary. Followers. Job titles.**Your identity flattened to geometry:** How many “sides” you've accumulated in the game of status.**Your future planned on a horizontal plane:** Assuming linear time, guaranteed tomorrows, safe predictability.**You are A Square. And you don't even know you're trapped.**-----## What if I told you there's a vertical dimension hiding in plain sight?**Not “up” in some abstract spiritual sense.**But **UP** as in: *What becomes visible when death shatters your 2D certainty?*When you're fired after 26 years and your identity evaporates.When someone you love faces mortality and all your careful plans dissolve.When you turn fifty and realize you don't fit in the traditional game anymore.**These aren't tragedies. These are dimensional initiations.**Moments when the **Sphere** - a being from a higher dimension - enters your flat world and shows you: *Everything you thought was solid is just a cross-section.*-----## This episode activates your Reticular Activating System.That part of your brain that filters reality - deciding what you notice and what you ignore.**After this episode, your RAS will be tuned to see Flatland everywhere:**- In conversations where people brag about credentials- In systems designed to keep you flat and measurable- In your own thoughts when you catch yourself playing the 2D game- **In the moments when death whispers: “None of this is real”****Once activated, you can't deactivate it.**You'll start seeing the prison bars. The dimensional limitations. The game beneath the game.**And you won't be able to unsee it.**-----## This isn't a book review. This is an initiation.I've been lifted out of Flatland three times:- **Fired after 26 years** (identity death - the 2D game of job = worth revealed as illusion)- **Wife fighting cancer** (mortality confrontation - the future I was planning for might not exist)- **Turning fifty** (threshold moment - realizing I don't fit in the traditional workforce anymore)**These were my Sphere moments.** When death entered my flat world and showed me dimensions I couldn't perceive before.Now I'm back in Flatland. But I'm… changed.I can't play the game anymore. Can't pretend credentials matter. Can't believe in “realistic” thinking.**Because I've seen the vertical dimension.**And once you've been there - once you've been initiated by death, loss, shattering - **you can never fully believe in Flatland again.**-----## What you'll discover in this episode:**The architecture of Flatland** - How 2D thinking imprisons you without you realizing it**Death as the third dimension** - The vertical axis that breaks the flat plane of “normal life”**Your initiations** - Recognizing the moments when the Sphere appeared in YOUR life (and you might have missed it)**The RAS activation** - How this episode will permanently change what you perceive in your reality**The elder's burden** - What to do when you've been lifted out but dropped back into a world that thinks you're crazy-----## WARNING: This is not safe content.This episode is designed to make you **dangerously curious** and **a little uncomfortable.**Not reassured. Not inspired in the Instagram quote way.**Initiated.**By the end, you'll question:- Whether your job defines you (it doesn't - that's Flatland)- Whether your plans are guaranteed (they're not - that's 2D thinking)- Whether “being realistic” is wisdom (it's not - it's prison maintenance)- **Whether consensus reality is actually real (it's not - it's Flatland)**You'll start seeing patterns you can't unsee.Noticing dimensional breaks you used to ignore.Recognizing when death is trying to teach you something.**And there's no going back.**-----## This is Part 1 of a 6-episode series exploring:**Episode 1:** You Are Living in Flatland (And You Don't Even Know It) ← *You are here***Episode 2:** The Sphere Has Already Appeared.

What if the failure rate in clinical trials isn't about picking the wrong drug candidates—but about testing them in the wrong models?When you move cells from a 2D culture plate into a bioreactor, you're not simply scaling volume. You're fundamentally changing the biological context. Cell density shifts. Mass transfer dynamics evolve. Mechanical cues emerge. The cells sense these changes and respond—often in ways that derail strategies built on oversimplified assumptions.Most preclinical research still relies on flat plastic surfaces and animal models that miss critical aspects of human biology. The result? Therapeutics fail late in development because the models couldn't predict how human tissues would actually respond.In this episode, David Brühlmann speaks with Catarina Brito, Principal Investigator at ITQB NOVA and Head of the Advanced Cell Models Laboratory at iBET and ITQB NOVA in Portugal. Catarina's career-defining insight came early: studying glycan-protein interactions in murine versus human cells revealed that species differences weren't just nuances—they were fundamental gaps that could mislead entire research programs.Catarina and her team have developed neural, liver, and tumor models that capture the multicellular complexity and microenvironmental cues that 2D cultures cannot replicate. Her work creates preclinical models sophisticated enough to predict human responses while remaining scalable for drug development workflows.Highlights of the episode:Limitations of traditional 2D cell cultures and animal models in capturing realistic tissue behavior and therapeutic responses (06:27)Catarina Brito's personal scientific journey: from discovering model limitations to pioneering 3D culture systems in neural and liver tissues (04:19)How advanced 3D models recreate cell-to-cell interactions, tissue-specific microenvironments, diffusion gradients, and multicellular complexity (10:35)Regulatory movements toward reducing animal models, and the challenge of validating advanced alternatives for systemic biology studies (09:10)Key differences in designing bioreactors for various cell types, with practical examples from liver and neural models (15:16)The impact of scalable, robust 3D models on accelerating drug development and improving selection of candidate therapies (17:22)Key Takeaway:Bioprocess development starts when you choose the model that validates your therapeutic approach. If that model can't capture the biology that matters, every downstream optimization is built on a flawed foundation.In Part 2, Catarina reveals how 3D tumor microenvironments expose drug resistance mechanisms invisible in 2D cultures, and her vision for AI-powered digital twins enabling personalized medicine.Subscribe & Review:If this conversation changed how you think about preclinical model selection, leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Welcome to Legal Late Night! In this episode, host Jared Correia breaks down the shifting landscape of law firm marketing for 2026 and dives deep into the world of legal education with clinical supervisor Leticia Leal.   First, Jared shares his monologue on the rise of AI Search Optimization (AEO). He explains why content marketing and short-form video are more critical than ever as AI begins to infiltrate traditional search engines. He also challenges lawyers to look beyond Google Ads and explore alternative platforms like Reddit, Twitch, and LinkedIn to capture a younger client base.  Then, we are joined by Leticia Leal from the University of Houston Law Center. Leticia shares her journey of becoming a lawyer in both Brazil and Texas, explaining the fundamental differences between civil law and common law systems. We discuss the "roach-free" University of Houston immigration clinic, how AI is (and isn't) being used by law students, and the "internet famous" status she achieved through her creative LinkedIn content.  Finally, don't miss the Counter Program: "Duo Lingo." Leticia helps Jared (who is Portuguese but can't speak the language) translate famous pop culture phrases into Brazilian Portuguese—from Die Hard one-liners to Seinfeld references.  Learn more about Leticia Leal here.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're shorthanded to kick off the new year this week, but that won't stop Randall & Kevin from getting longwinded about a whole bunch of gaming goodies, so let's get rolling... Randall gets things started off with his impressions of Marvel: Cosmic Invasion, after getting a chance to rip through the vast majority of the game via Game Pass, co-operatively with his wife. After that, Kevin rolls right into a certified gush-fest for Gimmick! 2, which he finally snagged on sale for super cheap, and is one of the best 2D platformers he's played in quite some time. Finally, we wrap things up with a little Nintendo talk, after Kevin's been spending some time with Yoshi's 2D platforming adventures, as well as the wonderful (and somewhat underrated) Super Mario 3D Land.   Timestamps: Marvel: Cosmic Invasion  -  00:02:09 Gimmick! 2  -  00:17:42 Yoshi's Platforming Adventures  -  00:31:46 Super Mario 3D Land  -  00:40:55   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:   

Are you slipping on keeping up with your clients and meeting important deadlines? For many lawyers, utilizing paralegals and legal assistants gives superior organization and efficiency to the practice of law. In this Legal Toolkit, host Jared Correia and Keith Shannon discuss the importance of paralegals and legal assistants in the legal profession. They define both roles and go over the types of work they can and cannot do according to ABA guidelines for paralegal services. They also talk about the types of law office technology and training lawyers should invest in for their paralegals–a means to maximize skills in e-Discovery and necessary office tech. Finishing up, they address how to hire qualified paralegals and offer strategies for avoiding paralegal burnout. Keith Shannon is an instructor in the paralegal technology training program at Central Piedmont Community College in North Carolina. Oh, man!

In this episode of The New Quantum Era, your host Sebastian Hassinger is joined by Chetan Nayak, Technical Fellow at Microsoft, professor of physics at the University of California Santa Barbara, and driving force behind Microsoft's quantum hardware R&D program. They discuss a modality of qubit that has not been covered on the podcast before, based on Majorana fermonic behaviors, which have the promise of providing topological protection against the errors which are such a challenge to quantum computing. Guest Bio Chetan Nayak is a Technical Fellow at Microsoft and leads the company's topological quantum hardware program, including the Majorana‑1 processor based on Majorana‑zero‑mode qubits.  He is also a professor of physics at UCSB and a leading theorist in topological phases of matter, non‑Abelian anyons, and topological quantum computation.  Chetan co‑founded Microsoft's Station Q  in 2005, building a bridge from theoretical proposals for topological qubits to engineered semiconductor–superconductor devices. What we talk about Chetan's first exposure to quantum computing in Peter Shor's lectures at the Institute for Advanced Study, and how that intersected with his PhD work with Frank Wilczek on non‑Abelian topological phases and Majorana zero modes.  The early days of topological quantum computation: fractional quantum Hall states at , emergent quasiparticles, and the realization that braiding these excitations naturally implements Clifford gates.  How Alexei Kitaev's toric‑code and Majorana‑chain ideas connected abstract topology to concrete condensed‑matter systems, and led to Chetan's collaboration with Michael Freedman and Sankar Das Sarma.  The 2005 proposal for a gallium‑arsenide quantum Hall device realizing a topological qubit, and the founding of Station Q to turn such theoretical blueprints into experimental devices in partnership with academic labs.  Why Microsoft pivoted from quantum Hall platforms to semiconductor–superconductor nanowires: leveraging the Fu–Kane proximity effect, spin–orbit‑coupled semiconductors, and a huge material design space—while wrestling with the challenges of interfaces and integration.  The evolution of the tetron architecture: two parallel topological nanowires with four Majorana zero modes, connected by a trivial superconducting wire and coupled to quantum dots that enable native Z‑ and X‑parity loop measurements.  How topological superconductivity allows a superconducting island to host even or odd total electron parity without a local signature, and why that nonlocal encoding provides hardware‑level protection for the qubit's logical 0 and 1.  Microsoft's roadmap in a 2D “quality vs. complexity” space: improving topological gap, readout signal‑to‑noise, and measurement fidelity while scaling from single tetrons to error‑corrected logical qubits and, ultimately, utility‑scale systems.  Error correction on top of topological qubits: using surface codes and Hastings–Haah Floquet codes with native two‑qubit parity measurements, and targeting hundreds of physical tetrons per logical qubit and thousands of logical qubits for applications like Shor's algorithm and quantum chemistry.  Engineering for scale: digital, on–off control of quantum‑dot couplings; cryogenic CMOS to fan out control lines inside the fridge; and why tetron size and microsecond‑scale operations sit in a sweet spot for both physics and classical feedback.  Where things stand today: the Majorana‑1 chiplet, recent tetron loop‑measurement experiments, DARPA's US2QC program, and how external users—starting with government and academic partners—will begin to access these devices before broader Azure Quantum integration. Papers and resources mentionedThese are representative papers and resources that align with topics and allusions in the conversation; they are good entry points if you want to go deeper.Non‑Abelian Anyons and Topological Quantum Computation – S.

In this final episode of our Orlando series for States of Discovery, we explore an entirely different side of Orlando—one that goes far beyond theme parks and into the heart of Central Florida's adventure, charm, and creativity. This itinerary-packed episode blends outdoor thrills, scenic waterways, small-town flavor, and immersive fun into one unforgettable journey.The day kicks off in Clermont at Revolution Adventures, a 230-acre off-road park where guests climb into amphibious Mucky Duck vehicles to tackle muddy trails, splash through water crossings, and experience Florida's wild side firsthand. It's high-energy, hands-on, and a surprisingly rugged way to start the day.From there, the pace shifts to the water with Catboat Escapes on the Clermont Chain of Lakes. Piloting your own catamaran-style boat, you glide through open lakes, winding cypress tunnels, and moss-draped wetlands. When a storm blew in, we experienced a different side of the lake, one that got us soaking wet.Lunch brings us to Twenty Pho Hour, a MICHELIN-recommended, 2D-style noodle bar that perfectly represents Orlando's creative food scene.The episode wraps up with a festive stay at Villatel Orlando Resort during Hallowee-kends, featuring haunted villas, spooky movie nights, themed cocktails, and family-friendly frights. This episode highlights the many layers of Orlando—adventurous, scenic, historic, and playful—proving the city's magic lives well beyond its most famous attractions.Huge shout out to Visit Orlando for having us!Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review States of Discovery on your favorite podcast platform.

In this episode of Best in Fest, host Leslie LaPage sits down with Jessica Rizk (director, writer, producer, animator) and Soren Anderson (composer and sound designer) to unpack the creation of Cracked — a haunting, hand-drawn 2D animated short exploring mental health, self-neglect, and emotional collapse.Over the course of a two-year DIY production, Cracked was animated frame-by-frame, scored from scratch, and built without shortcuts — revealing the true scope of independent animation today.In this episode, we explore:

Earlier this month, and just in time for Christmas, Focus on the Family made a fun announcement: an upcoming theatrical adaptation of Adventures in Odyssey. Dubbed Journey Into The Impossible, this 3D animated film will explore the town of Odyssey before the establishment of Whit's End. What kinds of adventures will a young John Avery Whittaker enjoy?

Sheehan Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Quotes and notes ‘Adventures in Odyssey' Goes to the Movies? , Lorehaven, Dec. 4 ‘Adventures in Odyssey' Goes to the Movies? Adventures in Odyssey is releasing a new animated feature film. The working title is Journey into the Impossible. It’s scheduled for a theatrical release in fall 2026. Unlike previous video releases, this film is canon to the audio drama timeline. It serves as a prequel set years before the main series. The film will focus on a younger John Avery Whittaker (Whit), his wife Jenny, and their son Jason. The movie will feature 3D animation stylized with a “2D storybook appearance.” Creators say this will blend modern production quality with a nostalgic visual aesthetic. The project is led by long-time Adventures in Odyssey showrunner Dave Arnold. It also features work by former Disney animator John Pomeroy, ensuring faithfulness to the show’s legacy. A major goal of the film is to introduce the franchise to a new generation of families who may not be familiar with the 1,000+ episode audio drama. We discuss Whit's enduring appeal as a “positive patriarch.” He is a wise, capable, and gentle male role model, contrasting with many father figures in modern media. The creators are prioritizing a theatrical release to encourage families, churches, and homeschool groups to watch it together as a community event, rather than just streaming it individually. Next on Fantastical Truth “In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the world disappear.” Jesus returned thirty years ago. Or rather, He sort of pre-returned, the warm-up act, if you will. Many faithful Christians believe in this kind of “rapture.” And in December 1995, two authors teamed up and used this idea to create the most successful biblical end-times thriller we've yet seen. Last summer, we looked back on the Left Behind series legacy. Yet now we'll ask how that first Left Behind novel has aged, thirty years after its release.

Happy Christmas and Merry Holidays to all! It's the 2025 season finale of RPGrinders and it is one of the best of the year! Don't worry, because we will be back in 2026. Until then, enjoy this last episode of the latest news, reviews, and some special surprises. (That aren't actually surprises because we already said we would do them!) With only a week left in this weak ass year, there are no new releases to announce. That's okay because 2026 will soon be here and with it, new games a plenty. The next few months alone will see the releases of Escape From Ever After, Ariana and the Elder Codex, and MegaMan Starforce Legacy Collection. Enough games to keep us all occupied through the long winter months. In the holiday spirit of "scary ghost stories," Frank reviews one of most popular horror franchises of all time. I won't spoil the surprise, but I will say that Santa Claus isn't the only thing keeping children up late at night.  Every year, the Grinders give our top pics in RPG gaming. Even a crappy year like 2025 has had some fantastic releases. For the first time ever, the Grinders all choose a game from one certain franchise. Retro games remade for the modern error without losing the charm of the originals. What were once just 2D pixels are now rich 3D worlds to explore. Stagnant enemies are now in full motion and looking far better than ever. What are those games? I won't spoil the holiday fun! Go sit on Santa's lap, maybe he'll tell you.  Santa Claus has a Naughty List of all the children who misbehave; however, it pales in comparison to the RPGrinders weekly 2025 Stinkos. Genocidal mad men are murdering innocent fishermen and trying to start wars. Racist losers are kidnapping and disappearing innocent people off the streets. Government agencies protecting wealthy pedophiles. Government agencies weaponizing our courts against their political enemies. All of those and a country that loves its guns more than its children. Maybe this whole country should be on his Naughty List.  With so many reasons to be exhausted, like the holidays and fascism, we all need a release. What better way to bring people together for fun than gaming? This episode is the finale episode of the RPGrinders version of gaming fun, Game Night! After 2 weeks of wrestling entertainment, the Grinders finally determine the winner of our final game of 2025. Will it be Frank's wicked El Chaupacabra? Or maybe Break's grunty Beast? What about Eric's badass Johnny 5 Bigelow? Or could it be one of the chatter's wrestlers who cleaned house and took home the championship belt?? No hints and Santa can't help you this time! With that, the Grinders give a Merry Middle Finger to 2025 and wish nothing but the best to all our friends, family, and listeners. May whichever holiday you celebrate be filled with love and joy.                     The only thing that kinda sucks about Game Night is that I write a bunch of stuff that never even gets used. It took me a couple hours to write the *redacted* ending but no one will hear its glory! lol Oh well, as long as I am still having fun, I see no real need to complain!

Una nueva investigación publicada en Nature acaba de aclarar la naturaleza de las placas tectónicas. No consiste sólo en "tener placas" o "no tenerlas", sino que hay estados intermedios. De hecho, han identificado hasta seis estados tectónicos distintos. Y lo más increíble: sugieren que Venus, nuestro vecino infernal, podría estar ahora mismo pasando por el mismo tipo de adolescencia que la Tierra vivió hace 4.000 millones de años. Hasta ahora, pensábamos en esto de forma binaria: o tenías Tectónica de Placas, o tenías una Tapa Estancada , como Marte. Pero la realidad, como suele pasar en ciencia, es mucho más compleja y rica en matices. Los investigadores han utilizado superordenadores para simular la evolución térmica de los planetas rocosos, procesando miles de variables en modelos 2D. Y lo que han encontrado es que hay todo un abanico de posibilidades, una "zona gris" entre estar quieto y moverse frenéticamente, que incluye seis fases distintas de la corteza.

Insights from Avi Aflalo, CEO of Simplex Mapping SolutionsIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge interviews Avi Aflalo, CEO and Co-Founder of Simplex Mapping Solutions Ltd., to explore how advanced 3D immersive mapping is reshaping real estate development, design, planning, and sales. Drawing from his background as a marathon runner, Avi explains how endurance, preparation, and vision fuel innovation—and how Simplex 3D is helping developers, architects, municipalities, and buyers make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions. This article breaks down the key themes, insights, and practical takeaways from their discussion.How Simplex 3D Is Reimagining the Built WorldAvi begins by sharing how marathon running prepared him for entrepreneurship—highlighting the importance of preparation, consistency, and long-term focus. That same mindset drives the vision behind Simplex 3D, a platform offering hyper-realistic, data-rich, immersive environments where users can explore entire neighborhoods before construction begins. Avi explains how Simplex 3D combines visual accuracy with powerful decision-support tools—like pricing insights, zoning analytics, air rights evaluation, mortgage estimates, and sunlight analysis—giving developers, architects, and municipalities a single source of truth for planning.He also details why 3D visualization is becoming essential in real estate, noting that traditional spreadsheets, 2D renderings, and static floor plans fail to communicate the full picture. Immersive 3D creates emotional engagement for buyers, reduces uncertainty, enhances design accuracy, and speeds up collaboration across planning teams and municipal stakeholders. With over 150 municipalities using the platform in Israel, Simplex 3D is already proving how unified visual systems dramatically accelerate approvals and improve transparency.Avi discusses real-world applications across the entire real estate lifecycle—from acquisition and planning to architectural design and sales. Developers can make faster land decisions, architects can design within real-world contexts, city officials can evaluate proposals collaboratively, and brokers can use 3D models to close multimillion-dollar deals on the spot by instantly showing future views or development impacts. He also shares Simplex 3D's rapid global expansion into the U.S. and Europe and outlines how professionals can get started with demos, consultations, and custom-built models through www.simplex3d.com.About Avi AflaloAvi Aflalo is the CEO and Co-Founder of Simplex Mapping Solutions Ltd.

A Note from James:Tye Sheridan is one of my favorite actors. You might know him as Cyclops in the X-Men movies (Apocalypse, etc.) or as the lead in Ready Player One—which is not only a great movie but also one of my favorite sci-fi books. One of his first films was Mud with Matthew McConaughey.What I didn't realize: since 2016, while still acting, Tye has also been a serious AI entrepreneur. He and Nikola Todorovic co-founded AI-powered VFX/CGI company, Wonder Dynamics, now an Autodesk company, that built AI tools to make visual effects more accessible.I wanted them both on to talk about how AI will change filmmaking—potentially letting someone like me make a movie that would normally cost hundreds of millions because of VFX—and, just as important, how Tye balanced being a movie star and an entrepreneur at the same time. I also wanted Nikola's take on where AI is going and whether it will take jobs. Fascinating conversation ahead—here are Tye Sheridan and Nikola Todorovic.Episode Description:James sits down with actor–founder Tye Sheridan and VFX director Nikola Todorovic to unpack how their company's AI tools (now part of Autodesk) are changing what small teams can pull off—and what that means for studios, budgets, and actual stories. They trace the path from stitching 360° GoPro rigs and a VR proof-of-concept… to a first demo for Steven Spielberg… to a platform that lets indies do big-look work without big-studio burn. You'll hear clear, non-hyped answers on where text-to-video fits, why they focus on editable 3D over black-box 2D, and a candid take on the only moat that still matters: writing something people care about.What You'll Learn:A workable cost model for VFX-heavy projects: where 10× savings can come from—and where they can't.How to run “lean” on real productions: recruiting cross-disciplinary talent and sequencing funding without chasing hype cycles.3D pipelines vs. text-to-video: why pros need full control of lighting, camera, and performance—and how Sora-style tools can still complement the workflow.Story first, always: the audience forgives limited budgets—not lazy scripts.A pragmatic future for studios and indies: expanding voices without erasing human actors or craft.Timestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] “Hollywood is nervous”: James frames the AI anxiety he's hearing in studio rooms.[00:03:01] A note from James: why Tye's career (from Mud to Ready Player One) made him the right guest—plus Nikola's VFX roots.[00:06:03] Tree of Life to tech startup: meeting on set, Chivo's influence, and early curiosity about tools.[00:13:46] DIY 360° & the Spielberg audition: the VR demo, a $10k experiment, and a first product pitch to Steven.[00:20:12] The question everyone asks: will AI erase studio jobs—or expand what smaller teams can make?[00:24:00] Distribution changed—financing didn't: presales, streaming, strikes, and why a bigger shift is still coming.[00:27:12] Reality check on budgets: VFX vs. SFX, and how a $100M effects bill could land near $10M.[00:36:02] Running lean + real backers: Founders Fund, MaC VC, Horizons; hiring for overlap (CV/ML/VFX/eng).[00:37:44] From waitlist to workflows: who used the platform first, and a TV case where weeks became days.[00:42:12] Sora vs. 3D pipelines: where text-to-video fits—and why pros avoid black-box 2D for final shots.[01:00:45] “A decade of procrastination”: the founders joke about building a company to avoid writing their own film—then set sights on making it.Additional Resources:Tye Sheridan — filmography and roles (Ready Player One, X-Men).
