What does it take for an actor to memorize a script so deeply that it survives stress, pressure from everyday life, and even intoxication? Sir Anthony Hopkins has an answer so tempting, I had to try it. And it has less to do with “talent” than you might think. According to his epic autobiography, We Did Ok, Kid, not even Anthony Hopkins thinks his ability to remember so many lines has to do with DNA or some special genetic trait. Having memorized a lot of content myself, I completely agree. And in this guide, you’ll learn how Hopkins turns scripts into mental landscapes, why most performers fail because they chase speed, and how you can adopt Hopkins’ obsessive learning rituals for yourself. If they’re not for you, you’ll also discover how to adapt them using the Magnetic Memory Method. This unique learning approach will help you install lines from a script or poetry so deeply the process will soon feel like second nature. Whether you’re preparing for a stage performance, a TEDx talk, or a high-stakes presentation, this exploration of Anthony Hopkins’ approach to learning is the memory training guide you’ve been looking for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhjIkGu32CA Anthony Hopkins' Memory Ritual: A Healthy “Obsession” Hopkins' brilliant ability to memorize thousands of lines and perform them under pressure isn’t magic. It's the result of a particular ritual that has made him polymathic in number of areas and skills. In case you weren’t aware, Hopkins is not just an award-winning actor. His skills include directing, painting, performing music and now writing. And it has to be said that the writing in We Did Ok, Kid is outstanding. Now, although Hopkins has had teachers and mentors along the way, much of what he’s learned has been autodidactic. For example, as a kid he regularly read Arthur Mee’s Children’s Encyclopedia. Without anyone telling him to do so, he committed lists of facts from its pages to memory. His approach is a bit different than the method I teach in this list memorization tutorial, but related in terms of a kind of spaced repetition Hopkins worked out for himself. Rote Repetition vs. Creative Repetition When it comes to learning the lines of a movie script or play, Hopkins does use a lot of repetition. But it is absolutely not rote learning. That’s because he doesn’t just read a script or a set of instructions while learning. No, Hopkins attacks the material with a pen and adds special marks that turn each page into a kind of private code. And that’s exactly what I tried to do as you can see on this page I worked on from Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus: Some people will protest that not only is Hopkins using rote when it comes to memorizing lines from a script, but that his rote reaches obsessive levels. That’s because he goes through the process of reading and marking up his scripts multiple times, sometimes 250 times or more. Having gone through the process myself, even at an admittedly small scale, I can tell you it is absolutely not rote learning. Looking at a page once it has been marked up automatically moves you from rote repetition to active recall. Active recall is present any time you place information on a page where you have to stretch your mind. And that’s what Hopkins’ marks achieve. His process literally transforms each page from a bland field of words into a highly mnemonic landscape. So when the time to perform arrives, he doesn't try to recall. He simply walks the landscape he has laid in his mind. Or as he puts it: “Becoming familiar with a script was like picking up stones from a cobblestone street one at a time, studying them, then replacing each in its proper spot. Only then could I look out over the road and know every inch of it spread out before me.” Why So Many People Fail at Memorizing Scripts Having worked with countless actors over the years, or even just people who have seen my TEDx Talk and want to memorize a speech, I feel confident when I tell you this: The main reason people fail is not because they are trying to copy the memory tips given by other actors. It’s because they have mistaken activity for accomplishment. And they are trying to move too fast. On the one hand, this desire to create momentum is understandable. Speed not only feels like progress. Moving quickly through rote learning can give you doses of what scientists call phasic dopamine (something you can develop a much healthier relationship with through my dopamine-resetting guide for learners). But when it comes to serious learning and performance, speed is vanity. And as I learned from my podcast interview with actor Ashley Strand who memorized the entire Book of Mark, vanity kills depth. There’s another problem too that many people who want to memorize large amounts of content face. The Emptiness of the Long Distance Learner As a child, Hopkins was haunted by self-doubt and failure. His solution? He not only built a mental container he calls his “Tin Brain Box”. He also imitated other great polymaths like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Like many other people with polymathic personality traits, Hopkins keeps a commonplace book and uses it to copy poems by hand. He also carried notebooks when young, and developed a personal note-taking method. More importantly, he learned to switch off his thoughts, a skill I share the science around in my book, The Victorious Mind. I mention my book because when Hopkins advises actors and people learning skills like painting, I know exactly what he means when he said, “Remain empty. Don't think.” Although this suggestion sounds mystical, it's pure performance psychology. The Neuroscience of Learning Without Obstacles You’ve probably had this kind of experience while learning something new. Maybe you’re studying a language or trying to memorize a sales script. Instead of focusing, your mind keeps intervening and asking questions like, “Am I doing this right?” When that happens, you're stuck in the Default Mode Network (DMN), the brain's internal chatter loop. Hopkins' learning technique? It helps silence the Default Mode Network and then activate the Task Positive Network (TPN). You can think of the Task Positive Network as being in what some scientists call a state of “flow.” As Nature puts it in this study, the Default Mode Network is a constant antagonist to that state of flow. But as I know very well, you can switch off the inner narrator with its endless “blah blah blah.” Once done, that leaves you free to become the doer. However, that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to perfectly install new skills or imitate the learning processes of others. My Experiment: Hopkins vs. Magnetic Memory Method I learned this the hard way when I tried Hopkins' method. I spent hours marking up pages. Without an example of what one of his scripts looks like, I had to imagine exactly how he draws circles all over his scripts. But even with the drawings I’ve otherwise had success with on my Zettelkasten and flashcards, I quickly hit a wall. Not because I'm lazy. It’s just because my brain needs a different engine. So I turned back to the same techniques I teach you in the Magnetic Memory Method Masterclass. This is my go-to system for structure, proper mnemonic images, and well-formed Memory Palaces. Once I gave each line a home using the techniques, the lines from Titus Andronicus I wanted to memorize clicked into place. And you can watch me recite those lines during the recent Vitamin X live launch celebration training. Not only did I recite the passage forwards. I demonstrated full Recall Rehearsal and recited them: Forwards Backwards From the middle to the end From the middle to the beginning The even numbered lines The odd numbered lines Memory Palaces: The Shortest Path to Reliable Recall Memory Palaces aren't theoretical. They're ancient. And they remain one of the most effective tools for embedding information into long-term, actionable memory. If you're unfamiliar with the method, here's the short version: You take a familiar physical location, such as your apartment, a childhood school, or a route you know well. Then you assign information to specific points along a path you assign throughout the location. By mentally walking the path, you access the information in order. It's not rote memory. It's spatial, visual, contextual memory. And when used properly, it’s incredibly fast. Here’s a walkthrough video of me using it to memorize some poetry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STlYIiF9RzI If you would like to learn how to build and use your own Memory Palaces for acting, speeches, or studies, you can explore the Memory Palace technique through my complete guide here. What I Really Learned When Imitating Hopkins’ Memory Ritual After realizing that Hopkins’ memory routine was just not for me, I took a completely different angle. I put the camera on and attempted to document my memorization process for public consumption. But soon, something broke inside me. I couldn’t focus on using the memory techniques I love so much and have covered so extensively in my online mnemonics dictionary. By putting a camera on and starting the clock, something I’ve done before with success when I competed with Dave Farrow, I found myself locked in the Default Mode Network. In other words, I started worrying about how I looked instead of focusing on using the Magnetic Memory Method. For me, real memorization is quiet. Private. And for many of us, it resists observation. When I returned to internal work on my own, no stopwatch, no camera, I shifted back to the ancient art of memory and simply learned the lines. What You Can Learn from Hopkins (Without Imitating Him) Hopkins' genius isn't something to mimic line by line. His method fits his mind and that’s a beautiful thing. But the real lesson is that your mind might need something different. And that’s exactly what he says. Go out and explore and find your own method. What I learned is that memory is not for display. For me, it’s a private practice that leads to increased focus, presence and command over the things I want to say. Once you understand your learning goals, you can adapt any system to your own cognitive strengths. For me, that system is the Magnetic Memory Method, and if you’d like to learn to use Memory Palaces for free, grab this course now: It not only gives you four video lessons and worksheets to help you develop your memory skills. It also helps you enter the state of flow that makes learning so much easier and more fun. So what do you say? I found it refreshing to learn that Hopkins wasn't a particularly gifted child. He felt behind for much of his life. But instead of accepting failure, he built a learning system that ultimately helped him master multiple skills. His memory became the foundation for multiple experiences of development, growth and personal transformation. If you've struggled with memorization, or felt pressure to perform before you're ready, this is your call to take a step back. Build your memory. Explore the many techniques available to you and find the ones that fit your mind. Install them so deeply that learning never feels like work again. Because when you get it right, it’s not work. It’s not play either. It’s simply you. 100% present. Enjoying flow.

From bomb sites in postwar Birmingham to the centre of British stage and screen, Martin Shaw's life has been shaped by curiosity, kindness and a refusal to play the part he was expected to play.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with one of Britain's most enduring actors to trace the journey behind the performances. Shaw reflects on growing up with parents marked by war and frustration, discovering storytelling at school, and the teachers who unlocked a sense of freedom, confidence and purpose. He talks about leaving security behind for drama school, confronting imposter syndrome, and the moment he realised that great acting is not about showing off but about listening.The conversation moves through a remarkable career. From early theatre work and transformative mentors, to working with Roman Polanski on Macbeth, sharing kitchens with Anthony Hopkins, and navigating the highs and costs of fame after The Professionals. Shaw speaks candidly about alcohol, masculinity, spiritual searching and the quiet anger that can linger beneath success. He also explains why kindness on set matters to him, how one encounter with a fan reframed his view of his own work, and why the stage has always remained his creative home.

Matthew 24:36-44But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so, too, will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two will be in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken, and one will be left. Keep awake, therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. What's on your list? That's the question I asked and got asked most over the past few days. If your family is anything like mine, Thanksgiving weekend is when we trade Christmas lists and start imagining what we hope to unwrap. Maybe you do something similar. Or maybe you're one of the brave ones who heads out into the crowds to score the deals on those lists.I like going out not so much for the sales, but to soak in the spirit of the season. Lights are up, people are dressed up, bells are ringing outside while Christmas music blares inside. Santa waves between photos. And at this point, people look happy—not yet crushed by the unrealistic expectations we all put on this season. There's something energizing about it.But then you show up to worship this morning… only to be shocked by what we just heard. We come to church in December expecting stories of hope from a pregnant Mary, the quiet faithfulness of Joseph, or the peace of a cooing baby Jesus.And instead — we get none of that.What we always get on the first Sunday of Advent are these strange, end-of-the-world texts. This morning, Jesus compares his return to the days of Noah—people going about their lives, unaware, until the flood came suddenly. He says his coming will be just as unexpected.Then it gets even more unsettling: two men working in a field, and one is taken. Two women working in a home, and one disappears. When I first read that this week, all I could picture was two pastors in the office; one taken, one left behind. I'll let you decide which.And finally, perhaps most troubling of all, Jesus compares his coming to a thief breaking into a house at an unknown hour and robbing it. A thief?! What is going on here? It's strange, unsettling, and so out of step with our cultural Christmas expectations, where a certain man arrives right on time and leaves us piles of wonderful things.What we get in this passage feels a lot less like Santa… and a lot more like this: That's hilarious and terrible, and I'm definitely not recommending you do that to your children. Though if you do… please send the video. But the Grinch showing up at an unexpected moment to take things away isn't all that different from the metaphor Jesus uses about himself in today's passage. He says the day and hour of his return we cannot know; not even he knows. But when we least expect it, in a way we won't anticipate, Jesus promises to return.If we imagine ourselves as the homeowner in this metaphor, it sounds like bad news — because a thief breaking in means we're about to lose something. But what if this sudden, unexpected loss isn't a threat at all. Maybe we need someone to break in and take certain things away; not like the Grinch stealing presents, but like a holy thief who steals what we don't need, what harms us, what we can't let go of or get rid of on our own.After all, some of the greatest gifts in life aren't the things we receive… but the things we're finally freed from.Just ask Sir Anthony Hopkins.The famous actor sat down with the New York Times for one of their installments of The Interview. The first question David Marchese asked him was: “Can you tell me about what happened on December 29th, 1975, at 11 o'clock?”Hopkins responded:I was drunk and driving my car here in California, blacked out, no clue where I was going, when I realized that I could have killed somebody — or myself, which I didn't care about — and I realized that I was an alcoholic. I came to my senses and said to a friend at a party, “I need help.” It was 11 o'clock precisely — I looked at my watch — and this is the spooky part: some deep powerful thought or voice spoke to me from inside and said: “It's all over. Now you can start living.” And suddenly the craving to drink was taken from me.When asked later about that voice, Hopkins simply said, “It came from deep inside, and I don't have any other theories except divinity — what I call God.”Like a thief in the night, God broke into Anthony Hopkins' life when he least expected it and took from him a desire he couldn't take from himself. What a gift.And is that not a gift you want, maybe even one you desperately need? Wouldn't it be great for Jesus the holy thief to break into your life and take what you've never been able to let go of yourself? Not your Christmas presents, but the things that truly rob you: an addiction you can't shake, the fear that grips you, the worry that wakes you at night.What if Jesus stole away your self-doubt? Or absconded with your love of money and stuff? Or slipped off into the night with your anxiety, your despair, your perfectionism?We make all these lists of things we want, and buy presents for each other thinking they'll finally help us “start living.” If only we had the right clothes, the new bag, the latest tech — then we'd feel whole. But not one thing under the tree can actually do that.Yet if Jesus takes even one of those burdens from us? Then we might sound a lot like Anthony Hopkins: Now I can start living.This may sound like a new way of talking about what Jesus does for us, but it really isn't. His entire life is an in-breaking into our world in ways no one expected: a poor peasant baby born in Palestine. And through his death and resurrection, he took from us what we could never take from ourselves, our sin, our shame, our separation, so that we could start living, here and now. It is a beautiful exchange. Another Lutheran pastor once suggested that instead of making Christmas lists, we should make Advent lists, writing down the things we want Jesus the holy thief to take from our lives. Because the Gospel today tells us that Christ will come again. And if it's anything like the last time, he'll take away what we cannot remove on our own.So what are you holding on to? Or maybe, what's holding on to you, keeping you from living the life God wants for you?Our culture loves to tell the lie that following Christ will give us more blessings, more stuff, more comfort. But the truth is often the opposite. Throughout the Gospels, he breaks into the lives of his disciples and takes things from them: safety, certainty, old identities, fears that defined them. And sometimes that taking is the very best gift.In the welcome area, you'll find small sheets of paper titled Advent Lists. As you leave today — before you go back to checking off the gifts you'll give — take a moment to write down the things you want Jesus to take from you this season. And as you write, consider this:Are there things you can help lift from the lives of those around you: guilt, shame, pressure, loneliness? When we ease those burdens for one another, we share in Christ's liberating work. We help grace break-in to our lives so that we might live fully here and now.Maybe the next time someone asks you, “What's on your list?”you'll have a different answer.Amen.

Hwæt a Movie is back! This time we dive deep into the uncanny valley epic Beowulf from 2007. Released at the height of Robert Zemeckis's motion-capture mania, this version of our favorite Old English classic promised to bring the poem to life like never before. It was slated to be an event like no other, at least for John and Andy. In this star-studded and CG-saturated film, Ray Winstone voices a Beowulf who looks suspiciously like an action figure and swaggers like he just killed nine nicors. He's accompanied by the ageless Wiglaf, played by Brendan Gleeson. The great Anthony Hopkins plays a jovial but somewhat mad King Hrothgar, Robin Wright plays the deeply troubled Queen Wealhtheow, and John Malkovich does his best John Malkovich as Unferth. But if we're honest, this is the Grendel family's movie from start to finish. Crispin Glover turns in a unforgettable performance as a Grendel who swells with anger and shrinks with vulnerability. Grendel's mother is a gold-dipped, shape-shifting femme fatale with stiletto feet. She's also very much Angelina Jolie. And then there's Grendel's little half-brother dragon. That's right, the dragon is part of the family! Is this adaptation a clever deconstruction of heroism and myth-making? Or just an excuse to get Beowulf naked on an animated dragon? Zemeckis, Gaiman, and Avary take some bold liberties with the source material in this one, and we're here to guide you through it all from the perspective of two curmudgeonly middle-aged medievalists. As always, this episode of Hwæt a Movie includes a thorough summary and discussion of the film, a brief Q&A, and our final ratings: how well the film handles Beowulf, Grendel, and Grendel's mother, plus our ever-important scores for faithfulness to the source and overall entertainment value. Beowulf (2007) was a wild ride to discuss, and we hope you enjoy it half as much as Beowulf enjoys shouting his own name. Or at least as much as Zemeckis likes cleverly blocking Beowulf's bare bits from view with conveniently placed objects. Once you've listened, let us know your thoughts. Is this the definitive Beowulf for the 21st century? Or just a fever dream in a damp cave? And do you forgive us for being grumpy when it comes to Beowulf movies?

Martha. Freaking. Stewart. The icon, the legend, and in her words, the “OG trad wife” joins Molly and Emese for an unfiltered masterclass in work ethic, evolution, and how she is rewriting the rules for aging. What makes this conversation truly special is how it reveals Martha as a paradox: the homemaker and the mogul, the apron at the table and first self-made female billionaire. At once admired and criticized, mythologized and misunderstood, Martha continues to evolve. Mentioned in the Episode: Elm Biosciences A Sony Music Entertainment production.

In 2010 Universal took another step towards rebooting the Dark Universe with a straight shot at a remake of the 1941 classic The Wolf Man starring Lon Chaney Jr. This time starring Benecio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt and Hugo Weaving and with the late addition direction of Joe Johnston it does manage to capture some of the magic of a classic monster movie. But also it's not that good even though Mason liked it.

A new era begins in this 686th edition of Have You Ever Seen as Ryan talks about David Lynch's mainstream breakout after Eraserhead got him noticed by this film's executive producer, Mel Brooks. The Elephant Man stars Oscar nominee John Hurt in the title role and Anthony Hopkins as his sympathetic doctor. Unusual for Lynch, his B&W biographical character piece doesn't have sex, gory violence or bad language. It's just a sensitive, affecting, sometimes sad tale about compassion, acceptance and goodness. And also John/Joseph Merrick's life-changing deformities. Hurt's makeup really was incredible. So lay down for a nap, but make sure to put your earbuds in before you doze off as this show digs into The Terrible Elephant Man.

THE SWIMMER (1968) We dive deep in to The Swimmer and discuss and analyze, maybe just a little bit the glorious film directed by Frank Perry, based on a screenplay by Eleanor Perry, from the 12 page short story by John Cheever. "Well-off ad man Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) is visiting a friend when he notices the abundance of backyard pools that populate their upscale suburb. Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

From a childhood in Dundee marked by loss, poverty and resilience, to becoming one of the most respected actors of his generation, Brian Cox's life and career have been defined by an unrelenting pursuit of truth on and off stage. In this in-depth conversation with James O'Brien, the Emmy and Golden Globe winner reflects on the death of his father at eight years old, the formative influence of his mother's struggles with mental health, and the teachers who first spotted his talent.Cox charts his journey from the Dundee Repertory Theatre to the Royal Shakespeare Company, the West End and Hollywood, revisiting the defining roles that shaped his craft- from portraying Hannibal Lecter before Anthony Hopkins to his acclaimed turn as Logan Roy in Succession. He speaks candidly about the compromises and convictions that have steered his career, the cultural and political forces that have shaped his worldview, and his ongoing belief in the power of storytelling to confront injustice.Thoughtful, uncompromising and rich with anecdote, this episode offers a compelling portrait of an actor whose commanding presence is matched by his fierce intellect and refusal to play by the rules.

Jackie gives an update on what happened to the Snackies from this week's Page 7, Sydney Sweeney's brother is supporting her or something dumb, but tig biddy has been big played out, and Jackie gives a less than stellar review of "Happy Gilmore 2" followed by a brief discussion of Adam Sandler crew's disappointing political beliefs. MJ and Jackie have another chat about the great Goop audiobook, and Kim Jong EW becomes a true tyrant as he has banned hot dogs from North Korea. Jackie was forced to go to a Primus show and had to deal with a bunch of Gen X edgelords, and a recent Phish concert in NYC made MJ realize Phish phans have hit middle age and sent them on a downward spiral.

This week on Shat the Movies, we're cracking open Instinct (1999), the psychological thriller where Anthony Hopkins goes full jungle hermit and Cuba Gooding Jr. tries to figure out why. It's part Gorillas in the Mist, part Good Will Hunting, and totally off the rails. Tune in as we try to make sense of the madness, the monkeys, and the message! Plot SummaryYears after he goes missing in the jungles of Africa, anthropologist Ethan Powell (Anthony Hopkins) resurfaces when it's discovered that he has murdered two poachers who were killing the gorillas he was studying. After spending an extended time living with the primates and without any human contact, Powell seems to be unhinged, and psychiatrist Theo Caulder (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is called in to try to get through to the withdrawn and angry man, who may be wiser and saner than he appears.
