On this episode of All Quiet on the Second Front, Tyler sits down with longtime friend and fellow West Point grad Rob Boeckmann, now Director of Social at Black Rifle Coffee Company, to talk about his unconventional path from field artillery officer to global brand strategist.They dig into the real-world parallels between military ops and modern marketing, how to build brand voice with precision, and why good marketers operate like fire support officers. Rob also shares lessons from running social at AWS, launching a top influencer agency in Europe, and how AI is reshaping creative execution.What's Happening on the Second Front:Transitioning from active duty to creative/brand rolesLessons from marketing at scale (AWS, Black Rifle Coffee)How military leadership translates to commercial successThe grind and strategy behind modern social mediaThe role of AI in creative and operational acceleration

In thisbepisode of the Pat Walsh show, Pat, Ken-Dog, and Robin the interrupter list off more of their favorite "stuttering songs", a new producer makes her first on-air debut, and the trio talk about more of their favorite war movies such as All Quiet on the Western Front.
This week, the boys head back to 2007 to spin another Roger Deakins film, “No Country For Old Men”, currently streaming on Paramount+. While other shows have covered the film, we shoot from the hip and discuss how it felt to re-watch it and what it means to us. F those other stuffy critic narcs. The cinematographer from Dave's homeland had a helluva a year with three award-winning films, this one winning Best Picture at the Oscars, and cementing the Coen Brothers as industry elites, much to their Chigurh (that's a movie joke). Yeah, it beat “There Will Be Blood”. We talk about it a bit. John also opens with his “MI” and “Friendship” takes. Grab a beer and hear our thoughts. Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

In this special episode of All Quiet on the Second Front, we're bringing you a live recording from Offset 2025. Moderated by Danielle Metz, 2F Chief Policy Officer, this panel tackles a question that's easy to say but hard to operationalize: how do we actually build trust between government and industry to deliver secure, mission-ready technology? Danielle is joined by Rob Nolen, Chief Technologist for DoD at AWS, Dan Garcia, Chief Information Security Officer at EnterpriseDB, and Eric Sanders, Chief Information Security Officer at DHS (I&A) and, together, they unpack the cultural and structural baggage that slows innovation—and explore what it'll take to shift hearts, minds, and bureaucracies toward impact.What's Happening on the Second Front: Building security into systems from the start (not bolting it on later)Measuring impact through velocity, not vanity metricsRisk tolerance vs. risk avoidance in government techThe role of policy and regulation in accelerating trustWhy a shared language between builders, buyers, and approvers is mission-critical
This week, the boys pull up their dacks, lace up their blunnies, pull over their cardies, eat a bikkie, grab a tinny, and lob in for the Ridgy Didge himself, Baz Luhrmann's first feature film, “Strictly Ballroom”. This isn't any ear bashing- we loved it! It made us three happy little Vegemites. After Jeff gives a quick mini-review of “Mission: Impossible— The Final Reckoning”, our native Aussie and gutless wonder, Dave, knackered from a good hissy at his lappy, guides us through this absolute hooley dooley.

Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1929 film The Broadway Melody. My friend Kevin Pettit from the See You at the Movies newsletter joins me to discuss the film and we talk about whether the film was there just to support the music being played, the degree to which this film is was considered scandalous at the time, and whether or not the film earns the love triangle (quadrangle?) that serves as the centerpiece to the "action."You can watch The Broadway Melody on YouTube or purchase a copy for your collection and be sure to check out Kevin's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:Glorious Betsy directed by Alan Crosland and Gordon Hollingshead (listen to the episode discussing the film)Tombstone directed by George P.

The boys head to Japan this week to discuss Akira Kurosawa's “Yojimbo”. Starring Toshiro Mifune, the film is considered one of the most influential movies of all time. It's so influential that an entire series of westerns ripped it off so good they couldn't be released in the US for years due to threats of lawsuits. Anyway, this film is awesome, but did the boys think it stands up to the other Kurosawa greats? Grab a beer and tune in! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

After Dave treats us to a “Thunderbolts*” mini-review and John discusses “The Accountant 2”, the boys dive into the year 1934 to discuss “The Thin Man”, a film so successful and unique it spawned FIVE sequels and made a dog one of the most famous dogs in cinema history. Written by a husband-and-wife team, “The Thin Man” is a detective “pseudo-comedy” whodunit with tension, laughs, fun, mystery, and intrigue, all done by some stellar characters.

Donald Trump stunned Hollywood with his announcement of a 100% tariff on films produced outside the U.S., framing it as a move to revive domestic production and counter foreign incentives. The industry responded with confusion and concern, warning that such tariffs could sharply raise production costs, reduce the number of films made, and hit moviegoers with higher ticket prices. Plus, the papal conclave is underway in search of the next pope. Masters revisits her interview with Edward Berger about his latest film, Conclave. The German director tells us how studying filmmaking at NYU in the 90s led him to an internship at the indie production company Good Machine. He also sings the praises of Netflix, which he reveals was the only financier daring enough to pay for his grim German-language war film All Quiet on the Western Front. The film went on to receive four Academy Awards, including Best International Feature Film.
This week on All Quiet on the Second Front, Tyler sits down with Bret Boyd, co-founder and CEO of Sustainment, to talk shop on reshoring U.S. manufacturing, rethinking the defense industrial base, and why clipboards and PDFs are still running the depots. Bret's got the receipts—combat deployments with the 75th Ranger Regiment, 15+ years in tech, and now building one of the largest networks of non-traditional U.S. manufacturers. What's happening on the Second Front: How small manufacturers hold the key to reindustrializationThe real bottlenecks behind readiness: not weapons, but partsWhy defense acquisition needs fewer PDFs and more CRMsThe case for a U.S. “manufacturing ready reserve”Connect with Bret Linkedin: Bret BoydConnect with TylerLinkedIn: Tyler Sweatt
This week, John was the only one of us who saw “Sinners” on Easter, so he offers a spoiler-free mini-review before the boys get to their featured conversation, “Black Swan”: Films of 2010. The random year generator spun 2010, a repeat for us (The Social Network, Incendies), so we break down the film year, the news year, and dive into a conversation about this psychological thriller that hit three artists- two of whom once took dance classes…- close to home!

This week, the boys stay positive as they take a look at Ridley Scott's first proper film, “The Duelists,” from 1977! Starring Keith Carradine, Harvey Keitel, and Albert Finney, this self-funded film is stunning to watch, but is it interesting to endure? We drink and discuss!

Send us a textWayne Turmel, a fellow Canadian and podcast host, an author, and consultant for the Kevin Eikenberry Group, joins Trench Leadership to share hard-earned wisdom about creating high-performing teams across distances in our transformed work landscape. As a remote work pioneer, Wayne offers a refreshingly pragmatic perspective that cuts through the noise surrounding return-to-office debates.The conversation explores Wayne's 3-O Model of Leadership, which balances Outcomes, Others, and Ourselves. This framework helps leaders navigate the complexities of managing remote teams while avoiding burnout. For leaders navigating hybrid work arrangements, Wayne's advice is refreshingly straightforward: focus on the work that needs doing rather than where it happens. By approaching team design with intentionality and listening to employee needs, leaders can create more effective, engaged teams regardless of physical location. The key is pausing to think strategically rather than rushing back to familiar patterns.Wayne's Links:1. www.KevinEikenberry.com2. www.longdistanceteambook.com3. https://www.linkedin.com/in/wayneturmel/4. wayne@kevineikenberry.com5.

We complete our second round of 1930 on Studios Year by Year with Universal. This time around we've got two auteur entries, Lewis Milestone's All Quiet on the Western Front, and a much deeper cut, Tod Browning's eccentric crime drama Outside the Law. We discuss All Quiet as emblematic of the Laemmele Jr. era before turning to Browning's tense, messy melodrama, with a powerhouse performance by the scandal-plagued Mary Nolan.

This week, we head to 1964 to discuss John Frankenheimer's “The Train,” a film that begs the question: How much do train mechanics know about art? Just kidding, it's an awesome film with Burt Lancaster in the lead performance butting heads with legendary antagonist Paul Scofield as an SS Captain hoping to smuggle French art from Paris to Germany before the Allies liberate France's capital city.

In this episode of All Quiet on the Second Front, host Tyler Sweatt chats with Troy Demmer of Gecko Robotics about transforming infrastructure with robotics, AI, and smarter data. They explore Gecko's origins, its impact on defense and energy, and how better maintenance can drive national security and economic growth. From crawling robots to AI-powered insights, Troy shares how Gecko is tackling critical infrastructure challenges—and why the biggest threat isn't new technology, but inertia.What's Happening on the Second FrontRobots + AI = Smarter Infrastructure – How Gecko is transforming maintenance and inspection.Data Overload? – Why most organizations collect too much but use too little.Tech vs. Tradition – The real battle is overcoming industry inertia, not innovation.AI's Hidden Flaw – Great power, terrible results—unless the data is right.The Future is Now – Edge computing, real-time insights, and maximizing what we already have.Connect with TroyLinkedIn: Troy DemmerConnect with TylerLinkedIn: Tyler Sweatt

Lists of canonical works of fiction should inspire skepticism—we all bring our own notions of quality to the books we read. But every so often, we encounter an acknowledged classic that so captures our imagination as to make us wonder why we didn't come to it earlier. Smarty Pants host Stephanie Bastek, for example, recently read Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, originally published in 1929, for the first time. And she's glad she waited: Kurt Beals's new translation faithfully mirrors the original German. Beals brings an immediacy to what has been called the greatest war novel of all time, refreshing the text for a new generation of readers who might have only seen the Netflix version of Paul Bäumer and his comrades navigating the trenches of the First World War. Reworking a classic is challenging, but, as Beals writes in his introduction, the greater ordeal was “to spend months with these young soldiers, in the trenches and in their heads, to know them intimately enough to give them new voices in a new language, and then to watch them die.”Go beyond the episode:Kurt Beals's new translation of All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria RemarqueWatch the original 1930 American adaptation of the novelWar poets who wrote in the trenches: August Stramm, Wilfred Owen, Rupert BrookeTune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

The random year generator spun 2005, so we chose “Kingdom of Heaven” (Directors Cut Roadshow Version) to see what Ridley Scott had in mind for his swords and sandals epic with lots of class and grace surrounding the religious tension that has disrupted the peace in Jerusalem for the last 1500 years or so… probably longer.

Conclave shines a light on the process of choosing a new Pope. Just like Oscar voting, it's a mysterious and grueling process full of politicking, even in the house of God. We follow Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) as he tries to run the whole process and keep the entire catholic church from going down a path of bigotry and cruelty. Directed by Edward Berger who did All Quiet on the Western Front, the boys watch and find out if the movie is all it's cracked up to be.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
The BAFTAs air on February 16 and the Oscars on March 2. I'd never consider myself a big awards season guy, but I love that it's the one time of year where film music is widely celebrated and has a little spotlight, if only briefly. As such, here's a little peek into the six nominated scores between the two awards. I've also done interviews on two of the six nominated scores (The Wild Robot and The Brutalist) and also interviewed Volker Bertelmann a little while back about his BAFTA and Oscar winning score for All Quiet on the Western Front, so seek those out as well BAFTAs: Nosferatu – Robin Carolan Emilia Perez– Camille and Clément Ducol Conclave – Volker Bertelmann The Wild Robot – Kris Bowers The Brutalist – Daniel Blumberg Oscars: Wicked – John Powell and Stephen Schwartz Emilia Perez– Camille and Clément Ducol Conclave – Volker Bertelmann The Wild Robot – Kris Bowers The Brutalist – Daniel Blumberg

From the sands of Arrakis, to the secret turmoil of the lives of the most powerful men in the Catholic Church. Conclave served us some of the best actors of their generation throwing shade at each other while being lit and framed in some of the most beautiful shots of the year. Although somehow, this film is missing an Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography. Truly blasphemous. What did you think of Conclave? Let us know on Twitter, Instagram or Threads!

Academy Award®-winning composer Volker Bertelmann joins guest host Jon Burlingame to discuss his tense and atmospheric score for “Conclave,” directed by Edward Berger. Nominated for his third Oscar, Bertelmann — who won in 2023 for Berger's “All Quiet on the Western Front” — shares how he crafted the film's unique musical palette, eschewing the sounds of traditional church music in favor of experimental instruments like the Cristal Baschet. He also discusses his approach to scoring thrillers as well as his deep collaboration with Berger.“[Edward Berger's] feeling is that music is a third dimension, in a way. That it's something that adds a layer to the film… You can create links to scenes, but you can also use music detached from what you see… You can use it in areas where it's already starting to give someone a feeling, that you don't see in the scene, but somehow… undercurrent-ly… starts to rise… What I think Edward works a lot with is building tension up, but then cutting the music pretty hard, into silence. And then you're left in the silence. But the moment where it's cut is very important… It is intentionally being cut at a certain moment, and then there is maybe a natural sound where you suddenly feel much closer to the person than you felt before, because you are alone with a person in silence.”—Volker Bertelmann, Composer, “Conclave”Be sure to check out “Conclave,” now in theaters and available to stream in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Volker Bertelmann's soundtrack to “Conclave” is also available to stream on Apple Music in Dolby Atmos.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.
