This week the Pre-Fixe and THE WORLD is having their tectonic plates shifted with the news of Taylor Swift's engagement to Travis Kelce aka Kelsey Grammar. An almost nude walk down the street that ended in detainment makes Dom and Chris want to add Lil Nas X to the Prayer Chain, and a laughable defense of the series ending makes D&C want to add the And Just Like That writers to a Do Not Hire List. And, as always, Christine Baranski is goals (especially for Dominick). Then, Even The Rich's Aricia Skidmore-Williams & Brooke Siffrinn return to the podcast to fix Elizabeth Hurley. They talk about her early movie roles including Austin Powers and Bedazzled, her extremely interesting dating life, her stint on E!'s The Royals, and her new budding romance with Billy Ray Cyrus.You can find Aricia at @ariciaskidmorewilliamsss, you can find Brooke at @brookesiffrinn, and you can find their podcast UNIVERSE here.You can find Dom at dommentary.com.

Hi, everybody. This week we are joined by visual artist Gabriel Hardman, the writer/artist of the upcoming Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia available in November from DC Comics' Black Label imprint. He talks to us about his experiences storyboarding such films as Logan, Interstellar, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Inception, A Complete Unknown, the Austin Powers films, and so many more. Then we discuss his work in comics including Green Lantern: Earth One volumes 1 & 2, Invisible Republic, and his contributions to anthologies, just to name a few. But wait! There's more! Gabriel recently read through 30 years of Uncanny X-Men comics from the beginning with their very first issue in the early sixties all the way to the end of Chris Claremont's tenure on the title and he survived the experience! All this plus Disneyland! Follow Gabriel Hardman on social media @gabrielhardmanart on Instagram and @gabrielhardman on Bluesky. Thank you for listening.

TOTALLY SHAGADELIC, BABY!!

Groovy, baby! Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), directed by Jay Roach (Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers), kicked off one of the most iconic spoof comedy franchises of all time. Mike Myers (Wayne's World, Shrek) stars in dual roles as the shagadelic British superspy Austin Powers and his nefarious nemesis Dr. Evil, both frozen in the 1960s and thawed out in the 1990s to clash in a battle of ridiculous gadgets, swinging style, and absurd world-domination schemes. Elizabeth Hurley (Bedazzled, Serving Sara) co-stars as Vanessa Kensington, Austin's smart and glamorous partner, while Michael York (Logan's Run) plays Basil Exposition, Austin's MI6 handler. Mimi Rogers (Lost in Space) appears as Mrs. Kensington, Austin's original ‘60s partner, and Robert Wagner (Hart to Hart) and Seth Green (Family Guy, Robot Chicken) bring laughs as Dr. Evil's dysfunctional family, Number Two and Scott Evil. Fabiana Udenio (Summer School) shines as the villainous Alotta Fagina, and Mindy Sterling (The Grinch, iCarly) makes her debut as the fierce Frau Farbissina. The film parodies James Bond and spy thrillers with outrageous humor, outrageous set pieces, and endlessly quotable moments—like Dr. Evil's “One million dollars!” gag, Austin's dental reveal, and the hilarious naked-object blocking sequences. Backed by a swinging ‘60s-inspired soundtrack featuring Quincy Jones's Soul Bossa Nova and iconic visual flair, Austin Powers became a comedy phenomenon and cultural touchstone. Join Aaron and John as they revisit the spy spoofs, psychedelic costumes, and laugh-out-loud scenes that turned Austin Powers into a cult comedy classic!

This week, I got to talk with Kaila Yu about her memoir Fetishization: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty. We dive into her experience growing up amidst yellow fever, how her self image was affected, and how she learned to love and accept herself.Fetishization: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty SynopsisNo one fetishized Kaila Yu more than she fetishized herself. As a young girl, she dreamt of beauty. But none of the beautiful women on television looked like her. In the late '90s and early 2000s Asian women were often reduced to overtly sexual and submissive caricatures—the geishas of the book-turned-film Memoirs of a Geisha; the lewd twins, Fook Mi and Fook Yu, in Austin Powers in Goldmember; Papillon Soo Soo's sex worker character in the cult Vietnam War movie Full Metal Jacket; and pin-up goddess Sung-Hi Lee. Meanwhile, the "girls next door" were always white. Within that narrow framework, Kaila internalized a painful conclusion: The only way someone who looked like her could have value or be considered beautiful and desirable was to sexualize herself.Blending vulnerable stories from Yu's life with incisive cultural critique and history, Fetishized is a memoir-in-essays exploring feminism, beauty, yellow fever, and the roles pop culture and colonialism played in shaping pervasive and destructive stereotypes about Asian women and their bodies. Yu reflects on the women in media who influenced her, the legacy of U.S. occupation in shaping Western perceptions of Asian women, her own experiences in the pinup and import modeling industry, auditioning for TV and film roles that perpetuated dehumanizing stereotypes, and touring the world with her band in revealing outfits. She recounts altering her body to conform to Western beauty standards, allowing men to treat her like a sex object, and the emotional toll and trauma of losing her sense of self in the pursuit of the image she thought the world wanted.

Send us a textThis week, we're joined by Jordan — founder of Beach Bums Never Die — to revisit Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. We talk bad teeth, groovy fashion, the surprisingly smart dumb humor, and whether Mike Myers' spy spoof still holds up in 2024.
From The Simpsons' Big Book of British Smiles to Austin Powers' ochre-tinged grin, American culture can't stop bad-mouthing English teeth. But why? Are they worse than any other nation's? June Thomas drills down into the origins of the stereotype, and discovers that the different approaches to dentistry on each side of the Atlantic have a lot to say about our national values. In this episode, you'll hear from historians Mimi Goodall, Mathew Thomson, and Alyssa Picard, author of Making the American Mouth; and from professor of dental public health Richard Watt. This episode was written by June Thomas and edited and produced by Evan Chung, Decoder Ring's supervising producer. Our show is also produced by Willa Paskin, Katie Shepherd, and Max Freedman.

Nand Mulchandani's time as chief technologist for the CIA has come to an end. In an email to FedScoop, Mulchandani announced that his last day with the intelligence agency was June 21, exactly three years to the day that he was sworn in as its first CTO in 2022. Though he's stepping down from the CTO role and as a full-time agency employee, Mulchandani said he will retain a role as an adviser to the CIA. Separately, in a public post on LinkedIn, he said he's “planning to return to my roots in the tech industry as an entrepreneur, board member and advisor, and to spend time in academia.” Playfully, he now lists his latest role on his LinkedIn profile as the founder of an entity called “Sharks with Lasers,” a comical reference to the concept brought to life by Dr. Evil in the film “Austin Powers in Goldmember.” Mulchandani wrote: “I'll deeply miss the Agency, its mission, and my friends and colleagues there, and will always be grateful for an experience that was, in every way, life changing.” Mulchandani also spent three years in the Department of Defense as chief technology officer for the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, a predecessor organization for what is now the Chief Digital and AI Office. There, he played an important role in institutionalizing the Pentagon's centralized AI capacity. After nearly three decades of federal service, Winston Beauchamp announced on July 4 that he's departing from his role within the Department of the Air Force. Beauchamp began working for the department in 2015, and most recently served as the director of security, special program oversight and information protection within the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force. In that role, he oversaw the Air and Space Forces' highly-classified special access programs (SAP) and worked on insider threat mitigation. But Beauchamp's 29-year career spans across multiple positions at the Department of the Air Force, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). By and large, he either led or was involved in several critical events within the national security space — so much so that someone once described him as “the Forrest Gump of the national security world.” In an exclusive interview with DefenseScoop, Beauchamp shard more about his decadeslong career and what's on the horizon with his departure.

This week on a very birthday episode we are haunted by an echo of a ghost future world's past-- that's right it's World of Echo baby. Trying to imagine Austin Powers putting this record on and saying something about "groovy" and "shagging" and I think I need to be lobotomized like an old rich aunt.Other incoherent thoughts up for discussion: does it count if you are nude in a submarine, a brief history of seven sojus making a killing, and the greatest bop of all time is reputed to be Shortenin' Bread.

Case and Sam are looking back at the earliest episodes of the show! Check out their thoughts on this classic episode when Case sat down with Geoff Moonen and chatted about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back! Overview Episode dedicated to Kevin Smith's influence following his recent heart attack, underscoring the importance of his work in nerd culture. View Askewniverse detailed as an interconnected film universe that began with Mallrats and culminated in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Jason Mewes faced significant personal challenges during filming, impacting production due to substance abuse issues. Film characterized as having a weak overall plot with awkward transitions, relying on 'and then' storytelling. Subplot regarding animal rights deemed problematic and outdated, particularly in post-9/11 context. Noted lack of diversity in casting and representation, with a predominantly white male ensemble. Humor criticized for not aging well, featuring outdated jokes and problematic themes reminiscent of early 2000s comedy. Suggested structural improvements include framing devices and varying visual styles to enrich storytelling. Interview with Sam introduced new perspectives while affirming original hosts' critiques of structural flaws in the film. Overall legacy reflects a blend of quotability and cultural relevance, highlighting Kevin Smith's early comedy style compared to current film pacing. Notes Episode Context & Background (00:05 - 07:17) Another Pass at Another Pass podcast episode featuring hosts discussing a previous episode about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Episode prompted by Kevin Smith's recent heart attack, wanting to honor his work and influence on nerd culture. 49-minute brisk episode with good audio quality featuring Case Aiken and Jeff Moonan discussing Kevin Smith's filmography. Discussion positioned as 'most meta episodes' - an episode about an episode about a movie that references many other movies. Kevin Smith Universe Analysis (08:40 - 19:26) View Askewniverse explained as interconnected reality starting accidentally with Mallrats, tying together story elements from previous films. Movie served as intended conclusion to the View Askewniverse with Jay and Silent Bob as main characters after being minor characters in Clerks. Jason Mewes struggled with substance issues during filming, drinking heavily while trying to get off drugs, making production difficult. Film positioned as 'greatest disc two of some other movie ever made' - ultimate bonus feature content rather than standalone film. Film Structure & Content Issues (21:58 - 48:37) Movie suffers from awkward transitions and 'and then' storytelling rather than consequential plot progression. Light plot structure with random elements, particularly weak animal rights terrorist subplot that feels dated post-9/11. Racial and gender representation problems - almost exclusively white cast with limited female characters in meaningful roles. Film's humor hasn't aged well with numerous gay jokes, misogynistic elements, and dated comedy style reminiscent of Austin Powers era. Proposed Improvements (24:51 - 42:01) Restructure with framing device - open with Jay and Silent Bob at diner with Suzanne the orangutan, telling story in flashback. Jay as unreliable narrator would allow for cutting awkward transitions and explaining absurd elements as his perspective. Blues Brothers structure suggested - characters piss off everyone along the way, leading to massive chase sequence at climax. Different visual styles for Jay's version vs. Bob's version vs. reality to distinguish narrative perspectives. Kevin Smith's Evolution as Filmmaker (12:18 - 42:01) Smith writes about his current life experiences - Clerks while working retail, Mallrats about studio experience, Chasing Amy about creative ownership. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back represents Smith dealing with internet trolls and fan expectations in nascent online era. Zack and Miri Make a Porno mentioned as better examination of filmmaking process, with Jason Mewes delivering strong performance. Smith's limitation as visual director acknowledged - focuses on dialogue and character interactions over cinematography. Cultural Context & Legacy (07:17 - 17:45) Film represents early 2000s comedy style with extended gags and slower pacing compared to modern rapid-fire editing. Miramax studio system comparison made to classic Hollywood, allowing for cross-pollination of actors and characters. Movie's quotability exceeds its actual quality as a complete film experience. Clerks cartoon praised as superior Kevin Smith work with only six episodes but high quality content. ️ Sam's Perspective (New Co-host) (58:03 - 01:02:25) Sam agrees with original hosts' assessment - movie is quotable and fun but structurally flawed. Acknowledges problematic elements while noting they're not mean-spirited but reflect era's comedy standards. Harold and Kumar comparison resonates - better execution of similar stoner road trip concept. Kevin Smith's wife's involvement in diamond thief subplot makes misogynistic elements slightly less problematic but still problematic.
Actor, improviser, and founding member of Upright Citizens Brigade Matt Walsh (Veep, Manhunt) is touring this summer with Bluebird Improv and returns to the RSC Podcast to discuss how improv differs from acting (and sometimes doesn't). Matt reveals how improv is less about creation and more about discovery; the importance of and method for learning the value of patience; how he combined both acting and improv on Veep; why scripted punchlines are sometimes not as funny as improvised punchlines; the challenge of playing a racist monster in Manhunt; and (to unintentionally paraphrase Austin Powers) the importance of remembering that when onstage, just behave. (Length 27:46) The post Improv Is Magic appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

For episode 86, I recorded with past guest Juan Flowers who is a big brother to many in the SoCal outdoor community including myself. Juan is a SoCal based trekker, backpacker, community leader, mental health advocate, certified California naturalist, and is the founder of Outdoor Adventures+ and the Urban Youth Nature Project. Back in the beginning of March, we decided to do an impromptu recording literally right before hosting our final Nature's Palette educational group hike in Vasquez Rocks which is located in Agua Dulce, California (just 45 minutes outside of LA). It is a high desert geological natural wonder where famous movies and TV show have been filmed such as Star Trek, The Flintstones, Planet of the Apes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Austin Powers and so much more. We chatted about his evolution into becoming a certified California Naturalist, his motivation to deepen his understanding of the natural world, highlights from our Nature's Palette educational trek series where we explored Point Dume, Vasquez Rocks, and the Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa area, and his desire to inspire inner city youth to connect with nature with his latest project. We also talked about how the Outdoor Adventures+ team has grown with new outdoor leads and members. The conversation emphasizes the importance of conservation, continuous learning, and fostering a deeper appreciation for nature. This episode is part of the Trek Talks series where I record on trail conversations with fellow outdoor enthusiasts. It is more raw and candid perspective of our guest's outdoor adventures as these conversations are more unscripted and in the moment.Watch Youtube video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps-_tc5rflQFollow Juan and his projects on https://www.instagram.com/__juanflowers__/https://www.instagram.com/_outadvplus_https://www.instagram.com/__uynproject__/Listen to Juan's previous episode on https://tinyurl.com/5835cra8Follow Just Trek on https://www.instagram.com/just.trek/Support Just Trek on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/justtrekShop Just Trek merch on https://www.justtrek.net/shopListen to more podcast episodes on https://www.justtrek.netWant to send me a message?

During Covid lockdowns, today's featured guest felt the need to turn his clients into a community, hosting events where they could get to know each other and build relationships. To this day, it remains one of the best changes he's introduced at his agency. With a dedicated community, a focused niche, and a cap on the amount of clients the agency takes, he created a sense of exclusivity that turned his agency into a “category of one” business that continues to thrive. Join us as he unpacks how his agency journey began, how he accidentally ran into his exclusive niche, and the ways he found to turn clients into members. Oli Luke is the founder of Orange & Gray, a hearing healthcare marketing agency that's not just thriving—it's become a “category of one.” He shares how going ultra-niche, building a true community, and capping client growth actually led to bigger success. His story offers agency owners a powerful blueprint for growth by focusing less on volume and more on depth. In this episode, we'll discuss: The power of creating scarcity. Choosing community over clients. Why client selection will save you headaches. Using AI to have a bigger impact with clients.

Creating Category Leadership with Your Agency Oli started in the marketing world as early as fifteen years old, running a “questionably illegal” business that relied on marketing savvy more than morals. That spirit of experimentation, however, continued to evolve into something far more focused and in 2017 he launched a niche agency focused solely on hearing healthcare. Like many agency owners, Oli knows the pain of being a generalist—serving anyone and everyone just to keep the lights on. But once he committed to a hyper-niche model, everything changed. “We help a very specific type of business,” he explained. “There's only about 2,000 potential clients in the world for us. So we're not looking for quantity—we're looking for quality.” According to Oli, once you're playing in such a specific arena, you're playing against maybe three competitors, which helps you become very good at that sweet spot. By focusing on a tight, underserved market, Oli's agency was able to create a “category of one” positioning. It wasn't just another agency—they were the agency for hearing healthcare and that kind of positioning is gold. The Power of Capping Growth and Creating Scarcity Here's something you don't hear every day: Oli has no plans to scale his agency to the moon. In fact, he's capping it at 100 clients. “We don't want more. We want depth of relationship,” he said. This kind of intentional limitation creates natural scarcity and urgency and real, earned exclusivity. Prospects know there's a limit, so they know if they leave coming back will mean paying significantly more. It's a model Seth Godin once praised: deep focus, selective intake, and high trust. Oli's clients know they're one of the few, which raises the bar for everyone—team, clients, and prospects. Community Over Clients: How COVID Changed Everything Oli's most unexpected move—and perhaps his most impactful—came during COVID when, like many agency owners, he had to rethink everything. Prior to that, he ran a very traditional agency, with one-to-one relationships with clients that mostly didn't know each other. This all changed during COVID, when amid the shutdowns and uncertainty, Oli's team started hosting weekly “campfire chats” to bring them together. That simple shift sparked a powerful transformation. “We almost pivoted from being just a marketing agency and to being a communications company,” he said. By bringing clients together, the bonds formed turned into something more powerful than any campaign. That organic community—born out of crisis—evolved into something deeper. Today, Oli's agency doesn't just have clients; they have members. And the community has only grown since the days of the campfire chats. For him, there's nothing more powerful than getting people together, especially in this new AI era where human connection will become increasingly rarer and more important. There are monthly calls, print newsletters, annual events, and even an Austin Powers-themed meetup in London for their U.S. clients. The community is more than a retention tool—it's a moat. Members feel like they're part of something elite, something valuable. It's not just about services; it's about belonging. Why Client Selection Matters As established, if you're running an agency and not building a community of your clients, you're missing one of the biggest strategic advantages available today. Yet, it may lead to competition – some of those clients won't want to be in the same room as their competitor. That's why your client selection matters. You can't afford to bring in clients who don't align with your values, even when you're in startup mode and tempted to say yes to everyone. Learning this will take some time, but it'll always be worth it because, more than just executing for them, you're making them part of something bigger—giving them access to relationships, tools, and strategies that help them grow. And that, right there, is what makes the difference. Finding a Niche... by Accident Like many agency owners, Oli didn't start with a clear niche. In fact, his entrance into the hearing care industry in the U.S. was totally accidental—through a client speaking engagement in Houston. Back then, he had a small marketing company in the UK and a client who was doing work as a speaker in the US hearing care industry and invited him to one of his events. There, Oli shared some ideas with the audience. Just tips that seemed obvious to him in the marketing industry but were eye-opening to his listeners in the hearing care industry. He was asked to help some in that audience implement these ideas and, before he knew it, he had found a niche. When the Market Shifts, Community Wins It's easy to panic when markets get weird. And let's face it—we're in a weird season right now. But the truth is, these “down” times are often where the biggest opportunities lie. Remember 2008? 2000? COVID? Each one of those eras had agency owners panicking—and also created massive opportunities for those willing to adapt. When your competitors pull back, you lean in. And it's not just theory. Community-first strategies during downturns can redefine your agency. They create stickiness, loyalty, and value beyond deliverables. People remember who helped them weather the storm—and they stick around. This is especially true for agencies that have found their ideal niche and have therefore found a way to be of significantly more value than just the doing. These agencies are in a position to lead their clients through these changes and provided much needed leadership. The AI Evolution: Smaller Teams, Bigger Impact There's a lot of noise about AI replacing agencies. But let's get real: Agencies aren't going away. They're just changing. At the end of the day, agencies are the middle man between someone having a problem and arriving at the solution. People will still need help, they'll just be able to do more with less people. What used to take 100 employees might now take 30—or even 10. The work doesn't vanish—it evolves. It becomes smarter, faster, and more strategic. You still need strategy. You still need people making decisions. But with AI, your execution becomes more powerful. And your clients know this. They're not oblivious. Bigger brands are already coming to agencies saying, “We want the same output with fewer people—powered by AI.” If you're not ready to answer that call, you'll get left behind. That's why understanding AI—and being able to communicate your expertise in it—is going to be a game-changer. Supercharged Workflows with AI Agents One of the ways agencies should start leveraging AI is by creating their own internal AI agent using ChatGPT. For instance, you can use it to train that agent with: Case studies Client challenges CRM data Brand voice Once you do that, share it with your team so they can start using it to write a blog post, a LinkedIn update, or any kind of content—and it generates something better than most humans would. This is where the future's headed. Not to replace humans—but to empower your team with incredible leverage. You're not building a bot to do your job—you're building a smarter team that gets more done. One More Tip: Start a Podcast Even with all his experience and success in choosing a niche, creating community, and using AI, Oli maintains that starting a weekly podcast was the best move he ever made for the business. It drove client attraction, retention, education, and brand recognition. And with AI, it's never been easier to create high-quality content consistently. If you're not creating content—especially in podcast form—it's time to rethink your strategy. Want to Build an Exclusive, Scalable Agency That Clients Line Up For?
