This week we rip apart Adolescence (2025) starring Stephen Graham and Ashley Walters. We sink our teeth into and getting caught in a lie, raising boys to young men, blaming Andrew Tate, masculinity in crisis and so much more.

Adolescenca se začne kot tipični britanski – BBC-jev krimič: na severu Anglije, v okolici Liverpoola, z dvema policistoma, ki se poleg dela ukvarjata tudi z lastnimi družinskimi težavami. Kriminalistični inšpektor Luke Bascombe (igra ga Ashley Walters) in narednica Misha Frank (to igra Faye Marsay) čakata na ukaz za začetek racije. Takrat Bascomba pokliče sin Adam, ki se kot že večkrat dotlej pretvarja, da je bolan, da mu ne bi bilo treba v šolo. Adamovo izogibanje pouku in družbi sošolcev prikrito nakazuje eno izmed tem miniserije: psihično nasilje, ki so mu izpostavljeni številni mladi ljudje med svojimi vrstniki. Medvrstniško nasilje, bodisi fizično ali psihično, najbrž ni nič novega, tako kot ni nič novega niti prepad med različnimi generacijami. Med starejšimi in mlajšimi generacijami so vedno obstajala določena trenja zaradi spreminjajočih se vrednot, prepričanj, načina življenja; tako, kot so starejše generacije nad mlajšimi pogosto zaprepadene, si mlajše želijo več svobode in sprememb. Vseeno pa je iz generacije v generacijo nekaj »res drugače«; znanost in tehnologija se razvijata eksponentno, ne linearno, kar pomeni, da je med tehnologijo, ki oblikuje življenje naših otrok, in tehnologijo, ki je oblikovala naše življenje, večja razlika, kot če bi primerjali generacijo nas in naših staršev; in še veliko večja, če bi z njo primerjali generaciji naših staršev in starih staršev. In čeprav so imeli mladi vedno svoj sleng, svoje izraze, ki so se njihovim staršem zdeli trapasti, so razlike v komunikaciji med generacijo alfa – otroki, rojenimi po letu 2010 – in njihovimi starši najbrž še veliko večje kot med prejšnjimi generacijami. Ob eksponentnem tehnološkem razvoju in hitri digitalizaciji sveta v zelo kratkem času namreč nastajajo povsem nove oblike jezika in pomenov. Pomeni memov, internetnih šal in referenc, emotikonov se spreminjajo s takšno hitrostjo, da med generacijami nastajajo skoraj nepredirne razlike. Jezika in izrazov mladih, ki jih ti uporabljajo med seboj, starši pogosto ne razumejo več, in Adolescenca je navdihnila številne članke v spletnih medijih s »slovarčki« izrazov in emotikonov, ki pomenijo vse kaj drugega, kakor bi sklepali po njihovem dobesednem pomenu. A ostali smo pri dveh policistih, ki v avtu čakata na navodila za začetek racije. Namen racije je aretacija osumljenca za umor, kar ne bi bilo nič nenavadnega, če ne bi do zob oboroženi policisti nekaj minut pozneje merili v 13-letnega dečka, ki se od strahu polula v posteljo. Jamieja Millerja, trinajstletnika, osumljenca umora sošolke (igra ga odlični Owen Cooper), privedejo na policijsko postajo in ga priprejo; sledi prihod medicinske sestre, odvetnika in socialnega delavca, pregled, telesna preiskava in zaslišanje. Resnost dogajanja je še bolj očitna prav zaradi neprekinjene kader-sekvence, ki v BBC-jevi seriji najbrž ne bi bila mogoča, medtem, ko si Netflixova produkcija to lahko privošči. Vsak izmed štirih delov miniserije Adolescenca na podoben način prikaže enega izmed vidikov dogajanja, ki bega in spravlja v nemočno stisko vse vpletene odrasle – od staršev do pedagogov, psihologov, socialnih delavcev in policistov. Da se nikomur od njih niti sanja ne, kaj se dogaja, postane jasno na primeru otroških objav na družbenih omrežjih. Odrasli že razumejo besede in slike, a to še ne pomeni, da razumejo tudi, kaj te pomenijo, ko jih uporabljajo otroci; inšpektorja Bascomba se končno usmili njegov sin, ki mu pove, kaj zapisi dejansko pomenijo. V komunikacijski izoliranosti, zaprtosti generacije same vase, se ti otroci torej na nek način znajdejo prepuščeni sami sebi – kot v različici Gospodarja muh, ki se odvija na družbenih omrežjih, na zaslonih njihovih računalnikov in predvsem pametnih telefonov, v katere so zazrti, medtem ko so »na varnem« v svojih sobah. Stanje v šolskih ustanovah ni dosti boljše; učiteljice in učitelji na spletu množično pišejo o tem, kako jih je upodobitev kaotičnega stanja v šoli v Adolescenci ob gledanju spravljala v stisko s svojo realističnostjo; kako stare avtoritarne disciplinske metode (upravičeno) niso več sprejemljive, medtem, ko razpadajočemu (javnemu) šolskemu sistemu s prevečkrat podplačanimi, obupanimi in apatičnimi pedagogi, ki nimajo pravega stika z realnostjo mladih, še ni uspelo vzpostaviti drugačnega načina delovanja. Elon Musk je pred nekaj dnevi izjavil, da je temeljna šibka točka zahodne civilizacije empatija; ker naj bi je imeli preveč, naj bi delovala samodestruktivno. Dogajanje, prikazano v Adolescenci, nasprotno nakazuje na kronično, privzgojeno pomanjkanje empatije. Kdo naše otroke vzgaja v brezčutne ljudi, se ob tem sprašujejo starši, pri katerih miniserija vzbuja tesnobo ob tem, kako zelo gredo lahko stvari narobe, tudi če sami ne naredijo nobene »velike napake«. Je kriva epidemija, ki je te otroke v njihovih najzgodnejših letih oropala socialnih stikov in s tem veščin, uravnavanja čustev, nadzora impulzov, kot ugotavljajo nekateri terapevti in pedagogi? So krivi mizogini vplivneži, ki reklamirajo spolno nasilje kot sredstvo opolnomočenja moških? So krivi algoritmi, ki za vsakega uporabnika naslikajo svojo resnico, vse bolj oddaljeno od resnic drugih; in ki iz nas do onemoglosti izvabljajo čustvene odzive, dokler ne ostane niti za kapljo empatije več? Ali digitalizacija sveta nasploh, ki ljudi pomanjša na skupek pikslov? Adolescenca prinaša srhljivo odslikavo dejanskega stanja – odgovore pa bomo v položaju, ki v marsikaterem pogledu nima zgodovinskih vzporednic, kot družba morali poiskati sami.

On this episode of the QE podcast, listener-favorite Kelly Leonard is taking a well-earned victory lap. After dropping countless stories and lessons from his time at The Second City, he's ready to once again face our gameboard and humor us with his industry wisdom for a second installment. His first episode is a must-listen, so if you missed it, be sure to check it out on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.   If you're new to Kelly, here's a reintroduction: Kelly Leonard is the VP of Creative Strategy, Innovation, and Biz Dev @ The Second City where he's hired and developed shows with Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Steve Carell, Keegan-Michael Key, Amy Poehler, and others. On top of this, he wrote the best-selling book  "Yes, And" and hosts the "Getting to Yes, And" podcast for Second City and WGN Radio in Chicago.   Here's a preview of the gold he offers up in today's episode: If you want a raise in 2023, take a page from Ted Lasso's book and work on your soft skills. Why saying “yes, but” is just like saying “no” with a top hat. You'll never understand everything going on in a room - that's why selfless curiosity is mandatory. When you have an Amy Poehler on your team, find their place and don't waste their talent. Nothing truly innovative looks like it should make sense - otherwise it wouldn't be innovative. You achieve authenticity through your fiascos - not your perfections. Why building the pedestal first is only the illusion of progress.   Connect with Kelly on LinkedIn and Twitter   Must-read mentions from this episode: Quit by Annie Duke The Language Game by Morten H.

Romond Duval is a copywriter at Curiosity – but we prefer the title: word architect. Romond is passionate about amplifying Black creative voices in the advertising industry and making genuine work that speaks to the culture. He's worked for brands like Hennessy, Brooks Running, and Old Spice. After graduating from ONE School ATL, he spent time interning with agencies on the west and east coasts such as Wieden + Kennedy and Laundry Service before returning to his Ohio roots for his first full-time job at Curiosity.    On today's episode of Question Everything, we sit down with the architect himself to chat about his ad industry insights and what copywriting means to him. Between being a rising voice for Black creatives and setting the trends, Romond teaches us the importance of being a concept's #1 challenger - and not being afraid to reshape an idea until it resonates.    Here's some of his hot takes: The secret to doing it all is actually being a serial quitter. You have to always be asking for more – closed mouths don't get fed. The key to success on social media is writing like you're talking to a friend. As a copywriter, you don't actually have to like writing – he doesn't. As a Black creative – creating alongside people who look like you will push your ideas further. Being a first-generation college student has a silver lining, it's that you set the bar.   Connect with Romond on LinkedIn and Instagram.   A must-read mentioned this episode: The future is yesterday

“Working for and with Jessica was and still is the best career decision I've made, and I thank her for that. She makes every piece of work she touches and every individual she works with better. She's that good.” - Taylor Wiegert   Jessica George is a marketing superstar. Renowned for her outstanding leadership and ability to combine strategy with creativity, she brings a unique perspective to the marketing world. With a background in agency work, she made the transition to corporate three years ago and hasn't looked back since. As VP of Marketing at GSR Brands, she brings pride and attention to the Cincinnati-local chains Gold Star Chili and Tom + Chee.   On today's episode of Question Everything, I have the pleasure of chatting with Jessica George about what goes into leadership, preparation, listening, and understanding. Jessica teaches us a thing or two about what goes into managing a brand, while recalling her previous roles in agencies and outlining the secret recipe to marketing success.    During our conversation, hear her insights about:   Listening, Observing, and Absorbing, aka “LOA.” Bringing a brand into a new era with pride and attention. Why leadership and mentorship are different, but equally important.  The meaning behind the acronym DD COI and how it inspires true behavior change. Why thinking like an underdog keeps us hungry - and lights a fire under our ass. Jessica's pre-game prep for major speaking events. How the four-day work week trades in hours in the office for motivation, fulfillment, and happiness.

“30 seconds in a room with Kelly will make you wiser. . . a selfless curiosity is his fuel” - Todd Manley   Needless to say, after peppering Second City's Kelly Leonard with questions for over 50 minutes, we feel like absolute geniuses.   Kelly Leonard is the VP of Creative Strategy, Innovation, and Biz Dev @ The Second City where he's hired and developed shows with Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Steve Carell, Keegan-Michael Key, Amy Poehler, and others. On top of this, he wrote the best-selling book  "Yes, And" and hosts the "Getting to Yes, And" podcast for Second City and WGN Radio in Chicago.   On today's episode, we bend an elbow with one of Chicago's comedy greats to chat how adopting an improv skillset in the workplace can change it all for your business. Between star-studded stories and thought-provoking human insights, Kelly teaches us that embracing failure is often the key to success – breeding humility, vulnerability, and creativity within a team.   Here's a preview: You can make yourself shine by making others shine – improv is about building WITH someone. No one is interested in your success. We want to hear your fiasco. That's what makes you "backable." If you are well-versed in improvisation, you are well-versed in failing because you fail all the time.  See all obstacles as gifts. When someone makes a mistake on stage, it creates an opening – a way to take the story in a way we didn't think about before. Take the fucking note - the art of accepting feedback as a gift. Finding joy in the absolute chaos of a workplace that is barely holding it together.  Practicing gratitude – and how it's not the same as toxic positivity.    Connect with Kelly on LinkedIn and Twitter   Must-reads mentioned in this episode: Choose Growth by Scott Berry Kaufman Radical Candor by Tim Scott The Extended Mind by Annie Murphy Paul Backable by Suneel Gupta

Hi and welcome to the OWN IT podcast, where we celebrate the growing number of (women and non-binary) ad agency owners and talk about buying out of the boys' club of advertising, one agency at a time.  Today, we're talking to Ashley Walters of Curiosity. She is another owner of a recent Ad Age Small Agency of the Year winner. Curiosity does such great work so I'm very excited to talk to her today. Ashley and I talk about her journey to ownership, her path through the advertising industry. She was fortunate in her path to work for many great women in leadership positions, which we have discussed as being fundamental in inspiring future leaders.  One interesting story Ashley tells today is her diversion through sales, where at first she wanted little to do with it, but it ultimately led to her owning Curiosity. It's so much fun being on this side of the mic learning from amazing women. This episode is certainly a highlight for me.

In this video, we're going over the most recent filings submitted to the docket to get an understanding of what's happened with the court's decision-making process for Brian Warner's p/k/a Marilyn Manson's Motion to Conduct Limited Discovery. Where does this place the litigation? What does it all mean? We'll go over it all to demystify it for you. Come join!! FOR CONTEXT: Over the years since 2016, Evan Rachel Wood began speaking publicly about domestic violence, saying she had been abused by two unnamed men. On February 21, 2021, Wood named Brian Warner as one of her abusers, alleging that he abused her physically and emotionally during their romantic relationship which lasted between 2006 and 2010. On the same day, a handful of other women also made statements claiming to be victims of Warner's abuse. His alleged victims include Ashley Morgan Smithline, Esme Bianco, and Ashley Walters. In March 2022, Brian Warner, p/k/a Marilyn Manson, filed a lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood and Ashley Gore aka Illma Gore. In the lawsuit, he alleges four causes of action: defamation per se, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violation of computer hacking laws, and violation of laws barring impersonation over the internet. WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE: In April/May 2022, Wood and Gore filed Anti-SLAPP motions to try to dismiss the bulk of Manson's claims. Filing this kind of motion essentially "freezes" the case until the court decides on the issue. This means the parties cannot serve discovery requests on each other, except by specific request. So in July, Manson filed a Motion to Conduct Limited Discovery, asking to depose five witnesses--including Wood and Gore--arguing that he needs this discovery to oppose the Anti-SLAPP motions. Last week, Wood and Gore filed Oppositions to Manson's Motion. On 8/11/2011, Manson filed his Replies to both Oppositions.

In this video we're going over the latest filings in the case filed by Esme Bianco against Brian Warner p/k/a Marilyn Manson. In that case, Manson's attorneys have been trying to depose Ashley Morgan Smithline. Ms. Smithline is a plaintiff in her own case against Manson that is separate from Ms. Bianco's case, although they have alleged similar claims. Ms. Smithline's attorney, Jay Ellwanger, also has been representing Ms. Bianco in her case. Last week, Mr. Ellwanger filed in Ms. Smithline's case a motion to withdraw from representing Ms. Smithline, saying she had made representing her "unreasonably difficult." Then, in Ms. Bianco's case, he filed a request to modify the subpoena for Ms. Smithline's deposition, arguing that she needed time to get new counsel since he had just let her know he would no longer represented. NOW, Manson's attorney has filed an opposition to the Bianco motion, saying that Mr. Ellwanger didn't just quit the representation--Ms. Smithline fired him in April 2022, and produces receipts showing he's apparently been lying to the court, opposing counsel, and even Ms. Smithline. This. Is. NUTS.

As Dushane, the East London drug kingpin in Netflix's hit show Top Boy, Walters is our favourite kind of antihero - and it's a role he's about to reprise for the fourth series.He joins me to talk about his own upbringing in Peckham, South London, an only child raised on a council estate by his mother, Pamela, and what it was like combining that reality with a burgeoning love for acting which sometimes felt like a double life. Plus, his failure to have invented Deliveroo (it's a long story), what prison taught him, the failure of toxic masculinity, his failure to remember lines and what being recognised by strangers has made him feel about this inner worth. I love love LOVE this episode because Ashley was so open and vulnerable in a way that just adds to his power.
