A Note from James:Oh my gosh, one of my favorite guests ever: Ben Mezrich.Ben wrote Bringing Down the House, which became the movie 21. He wrote The Accidental Billionaires, which became The Social Network. And now his latest page-turner, Checkmate, is about one of the most explosive scandals in modern sports: the Hans Niemann chess cheating controversy that took over the world.You remember the story. Magnus Carlsen, the greatest chess player of all time, loses to this completely arrogant, egotistical 19-year-old bad boy of chess. Then Magnus accuses him of cheating. This had basically never happened before at that level in chess.What followed was a viral meltdown: the infamous anal beads tweet, death threats, lawsuits, chess.com, Netflix documentaries, and a chess world at war with itself.Ben spent over a year with Hans Niemann. He got access to Magnus's camp, chess.com, and the drama behind the chessboards. So we talk about whether Hans actually cheated that day, the insane rise of online chess during COVID, the world of prodigies, the generational clash inside elite chess, and how one suspicious game nearly destroyed a young player's career.So welcome to one of my favorite guests, Ben Mezrich.Episode Description:James talks with bestselling author and screenwriter Ben Mezrich about Checkmate, his new book on the Magnus Carlsen–Hans Niemann chess cheating scandal. It's classic Mezrich territory: brilliant young people, high-stakes competition, huge money, a gray area between genius and rule-breaking, and a story that becomes much bigger than the facts alone.The conversation is especially strong because James knows the chess world firsthand. He was a master-level player, helped build early internet chess infrastructure, knows many of the top players, and has commentated on Norway Chess. That gives the interview a different texture: Ben brings the reporting and the narrative access, while James brings the chess context and the ability to test the story move by move.They talk about Hans's rise, Magnus's suspicion, chess.com's cheating algorithms, why online cheating is different from over-the-board cheating, the role of the infamous anal beads tweet, and the psychological cost of being publicly accused without definitive evidence. The question underneath the whole episode is not just “Did Hans cheat?” It's: what happens when reputation, genius, technology, money, and suspicion all collide on one chessboard?What You'll Learn:Why the Carlsen–Niemann scandal became a global story far beyond the chess world.How Ben Mezrich got access to Hans Niemann, chess.com, Magnus's camp, and the hidden details around the scandal.Why cheating online is easier to detect than many people think, while over-the-board cheating may be harder to catch.Why Magnus's accusation is both serious and complicated, even without definitive public evidence.How the anal beads rumor actually started—and why it turned a chess controversy into an internet phenomenon.Why Hans Niemann's comeback to elite chess is so unusual after that level of reputational damage.How Ben thinks about stories involving ambition, genius, scams, gray areas, and young people breaking rules.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Preview: Hans Niemann, Magnus Carlsen, and the cheating accusation[02:59] A Note from James: Ben Mezrich returns[04:17] James's chess background and connection to the story[04:45] Ben's year embedded with Hans Niemann[05:00] Why elite chess players have such unusual personalities[05:42] Why chess carries cultural weight[06:15] Why the scandal exploded worldwide[07:44] Chess.com, streaming, and the billion-dollar chess economy[08:12] The Mezrich formula: genius, ambition, gray areas, and scandal[09:49] Online cheating vs. over-the-board cheating[10:29] Why technology has changed cheating in chess[11:44] The reputational risk of cheating over the board[12:37] Why top-20 chess status matters financially[13:12] Hans Niemann's unusually fast rise[14:00] COVID, online chess, and Hans's obsessive tournament grind[15:49] Suspicious patterns, livestreams, and uncertainty[17:09] Hans's history of online cheating[17:33] Hans living alone in New York as a teenager[18:42] Not getting into Harvard and resetting his life around chess[19:35] James admits he may have been the first person to cheat online[20:42] Why cheating can help build a streaming reputation[21:29] How chess.com detects online cheating[22:04] Magnus's gut feeling after the Sinquefield Cup game[23:19] Magnus's state of mind before playing Hans[24:00] The photographer incident no one knew about[25:19] Magnus confronting the photographer[26:47] Hans's body language during the game[27:32] Why Magnus felt “nobody plays me like this”[28:08] Hans's explanation of the win[29:00] The psychological battle between Hans and Magnus[29:43] Magnus's breakfast with Danny Rensch before the game[31:00] Why prior online cheating changes how opponents experience the board[31:39] Hans's belief in a “chess mafia”[32:44] Hans spiraling after the accusation[34:30] The mental health cost of cheating accusations[35:07] How the anal beads rumor became the whole story[35:41] Ben tracks down the source of the viral tweet[37:54] Could Magnus and Hans ever respect each other?[38:16] The rematch and Magnus's decisive win[39:13] Prodigies, aging, and being replaced[40:28] Why Ben thinks Magnus still believes Hans cheated[41:10] Magnus wanting to confront Hans directly[42:00] Henrik Carlsen, old-world chess honor, and suspicion[43:26] How cheating might have been possible at Sinquefield[44:49] The theory of an accomplice and the limits of evidence[46:00] Chess.com's report and what it did—and didn't—prove[47:14] The suspicious post-game interview[48:10] Why accusation without proof is still dangerous[49:45] Aging, rating decline, and the future of elite chess[51:13] Could Hans Niemann ever become number one?[52:00] Psychology, killer instinct, and the gap between top 10 and number one[53:05] How Hans makes money now[54:08] Turning chess into a stadium sport[55:33] The movie adaptation with Nathan Fielder, Emma Stone, and A24[57:35] Ben's next projects: The Social Reckoning and The Last Orbit[59:21] Ben and James on Billions[59:39] Closing thoughts on chess, storytelling, and CheckmateAdditional Resources:Checkmate: Genius, Lies, Ambition, and the Biggest Scandal in Chess by Ben MezrichBen Mezrich's official websiteChess.com's interview and coverage of Mezrich's CheckmateChess.com's 2022 Hans Niemann reportNetflix's Untold: Chess Mates, the documentary on the Carlsen–Niemann scandalFIDE Ethics and Disciplinary Commission decision related to the Carlsen–Niemann controversyBringing Down the House, the Ben Mezrich book adapted into 21The Accidental Billionaires, the Ben Mezrich book adapted into The Social NetworkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bienvenidos, cinéfilos hierberos, a un nuevo episodio de Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, cine, televisión, música y videojuegos para escuchar.Muchas gracias por habernos esperado; sé que la pausa se sintió más larga que un plano secuencia de Alejandro González Iñárritu, pero tras un merecido descanso navideño que nos ha servido para purgar el exceso de turrón y cine de sobremesa, volvemos renovados. Soy José Enrique Guzmán, su anfitrión y aquí en las oficinas de CINEFILIA Y OTRAS HIERBAS estamos listos para retomar lo que mejor sabemos hacer: diseccionar historias que nos obsesionan.Hoy continuamos con nuestro ciclo dedicado a uno de los arquitectos del diálogo más veloces de la industria: Aaron Sorkin. Siguiendo nuestro recorrido cronológico, llegamos a la película que, para muchos, no solo es su obra maestra, sino la pieza que definió el pulso cultural de la década pasada: “La Red Social” (2010).La génesis del proyecto es casi tan fascinante como el filme. Todo empezó con un borrador de 14 páginas de Ben Mezrich para su libro Multimillonarios por accidente. Cuando Sorkin lo leyó, no vio simplemente códigos de programación; vio una tragedia griega en un campus de la Ivy League. Escribió el guion con una velocidad vertiginosa, pero el rodaje fue otra historia. David Fincher, fiel a su perfeccionismo casi patológico, obligó a los actores a repetir escenas decenas de veces. La secuencia inicial en el bar tomó 99 tomas para que ese ritmo de ametralladora sonara natural. Pero hay más: ¿sabían que Andrew Garfield tuvo que destruir su computadora en una escena tantas veces que terminó exhausto, o que Armie Hammer tuvo que trabajar con un doble de cuerpo y un riguroso sistema de CGI para interpretar a ambos gemelos Winklevoss? Incluso se dice que Fincher prohibió a los actores conocer a sus contrapartes reales antes del rodaje para no "contaminar" la visión ácida de Sorkin.La sinopsis parece sencilla: un joven brillante pero socialmente torpe crea una plataforma que cambia el mundo, solo para terminar demandado por su mejor amigo y por unos gemelos olímpicos que parecen sacados de un catálogo de Ralph Lauren. Pero bajo la superficie, es una historia sobre la traición y la paradoja de conectar al mundo mientras te quedas irremediablemente solo. Todo esto, envuelto en la banda sonora de Trent Reznor y Atticus Ross, que suena a ansiedad digital y marcó un antes y un después en el drama moderno.En taquilla, la película fue un fenómeno inusual. Con un presupuesto de unos 40 millones de dólares, logró recaudar más de 224 millones a nivel mundial, demostrando que un drama basado puramente en diálogos inteligentes podía ser un blockbuster. No solo ganó tres premios Oscar (Guion, Montaje y Música), sino que arrasó en los Globos de Oro llevándose Mejor Película Drama y Mejor Director, además de recibir el aplauso unánime de la Crítica de Cine de Nueva York y la National Board of Review.La reacción de los involucrados fue el toque final de ironía. Mark Zuckerberg intentó restarle importancia diciendo que el vestuario era lo único que habían clavado, aunque admitió que la experiencia fue "interesante". Eduardo Saverin fue más diplomático, y los Winklevoss... bueno, ellos simplemente se alegraron de que alguien los hiciera ver como personajes de una película de Fincher.“La Red Social” no solo consolidó el estilo de Sorkin, sino que cambió cómo Hollywood aborda los biopics: menos hagiografía y más autopsia psicológica. Hoy vamos a sumergirnos en su historia, sus actuaciones, su dirección, su música y, por supuesto, ese guion donde las palabras son armas de precisión.Preparen su café (o su Martini de manzana), que empezamos.Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.com No olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia.¡Que lo disfruten!#AaronSorkin⁠ ⁠#DavidFincher⁠ ⁠#Cine⁠ ⁠#Facebook #LaRedSocial

Bill Burr, Mark Normand, Vic Henley, Matt Pinfield, Ben Mezrich 2/20 The final year of my radio journey holds a special place in my heart, made even more poignant by the loss of my cherished friends, Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley. Reflecting on that time, I rediscovered the pure passion and exhilaration that drew me to radio in the first place. Amidst the chaos and challenges, we found endless moments of hilarity and camaraderie. Alongside Carl, Vic, and Sherrod Small, we shared unforgettable experiences both on and off the airwaves, our tight-knit bond shining through every episode. That year also marked Carl Ruiz's meteoric rise to stardom, inspiring me to launch the Opie Radio podcast with him. I'm immensely grateful to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul, and Louis for joining us on this wild ride. Get ready to dive into the rollercoaster of emotions—the highs, the lows, and the laugh-out-loud moments—that defined my last year in radio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En este episodio charlo con Nacho Theveritas sobre los interesantes aprendizajes financieros de la película “Golpe a Wall Street”, titulada "El Poder de los Centavos" en Hispanoamérica y “Dumb Money” en Estados Unidos. La película, estrenada en 2023, nos cuenta la historia real de la subida espectacular del precio de las acciones de GameStop (GME), una cadena de tiendas de videojuegos, consolas y productos electrónicos, en el mes de enero de 2021. Está basada en el libro “The Antisocial Network” de Ben Mezrich, publicado a los pocos meses de finalizar los hechos. El protagonista es Keith Gill (interpretado por Paul Dano), un analista financiero y youtuber que invirtió la mayor parte de sus ahorros comprando acciones de GameStop desde julio 2020, publicando dichas inversiones en su canal de Youtube y en el foro “WallStreetbets” de Reddit. Esta apuesta a largo por el valor iba en contra de fondos como Melvin Capital, liderado por Gabe Plotkin, que se habían puesto cortos en la acción. Con Theveritas ya grabé el episodio 81 del podcast sobre la película “Margin Call” y el episodio 72 sobre su trayectoria como inversor particular. Tiene el blog "Definitivamente quizá" en Rankia. La situación de pandemia, el auge de las redes sociales y la facilidad para invertir que proporcionaron brokers como RobinHood también se narra en la película y en nuestra charla. Concluimos explicando qué enseñanzas podemos extraer sobre la gestión de riesgos al invertir, la importancia del timing y las emociones que nos dominan cuando invertimos.Apoya este podcast visitando a los patrocinadores:Interactive Brokers: Un broker con acceso a mercados de todo el mundo.Indexa Capital: Ahorra comisiones dándote de alta con mi código.EVO Cuenta Inteligente En mi canal de Youtube puedes ver esta charla grabada en vídeo.Indice de temasBurbujas y trading intradiaEl broker RobinHood ¿sin comisiones?Deep ValueConvicción invirtiendoCortos versus largosGamestop no es BlockbusterGrifols y GothamLa gorra del Che GuevaraEstrangulamiento de cortosEl poder del timing y Michael BurryGestión de riesgosSesgo de retrospectivaDeja correr los beneficiosSupervisión de RobinhoodContratos de opciones y ballenasComunicación y autenticidadConclusionesMás información con enlaces a los contenidos comentados en el blog de Juan Such:https://www.rankia.com/blog/such/6375505-87-golpe-wall-street-theveritas

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for information about all your favorite fictional Universes. Everyone's favorite villainous character actor Giancarlo Esposito made waves by announcing he has been cast in an MCU film with the added caveat that it is not a role fans have speculated about. Actor and writer Paul Walter Hauser - who has been in the news a lot lately - is also joining the MCU in Matt Shakman's Fantastic Four movie in an unknown role. The casting news comes on the heels of Bob Iger's comments today about shrinking the volume of the MCU to three films and two television series per year. May the Fourth has come and gone, but with it Lucasfilm provided a full trailer for June's new live action series, The Acolyte. Fans of the franchise who enjoyed seeing The Phantom Menace back in theaters last weekend were also treated to an extended look at a scene from the first trailer featuring Carrie Ann Moss.

Adapt Deez, a brand new season of GateCrashers, is dedicated to appreciating media adaptations in all their many forms! From the classic book-to-movie adaptations to the many iterations associated and in-between, episodes of Adapt Deez will focus on a specific property and its (officially licensed) adaptations. Not simply a recounting of the differences and similarities between each adaptation, Adapt Deez aims to highlight the ways in which each iteration shines and how its individual media-specific properties—such as film scores, casting, and packaging—elevate the material and affect the way each work is received.  In today's episode, Amanda, Amir, and Jon discuss the Academy Award-winning movie The Social Network. The film—which received eight nominations at the 83rd Academy Awards, including for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for leading man Jesse Eisenberg, and won for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Film Editing—released in 2010 from Sony Pictures, and was directed by David Fincher. The screenplay was written by Aaron Sorkin, and was adapted from The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal, a work of narrative nonfiction by Ben Mezrich that was published in 2009 by Doubleday. The Social Network tells the story of the founding of social media service Facebook in 2004 by Harvard college students Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes, and Andrew McCollum. Focusing primarily on the relationship—and fall out—between Zuckerberg, played by Eisenberg, and Saverin, portrayed by Andrew Garfield in what would become his international breakthrough role, The Social Network spans several years from Facebook's inception to the depositions between Zuckerberg and Saverin, and Zuckerberg and Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (Armie Hammer/Josh Pence), twins and fellow Harvard students. If you think that sounds dry, just wait until you witness Amanda, Amir, and Jon's dramatic reenactments of iconic scenes—we guarantee you'll be just as riveted by this biographical drama as we were more than a decade ago.

"Bringing Down the House," "The Accidental Billionaires," "The Antisocial Network…" if you've read any of these non-fiction books, then you know who Ben Mezrich is. From being $2M in debt to becoming an international and New York Times best-selling author with more than 11 million copies sold, Ben has written more than 25 books and next chapters with critical acclaim. "...I wrote nine novels in one year, which I don't recommend to anybody out there who wants to be a writer, because my dad had basically said, ‘I won't let you starve for one year, but you have to have some level of progress.' By the end of the year, you're gonna have to go to law school or something. So I wrote and I wrote, not that there's anything wrong with law school, I just wasn't for me.…” Meet Ben and the stories he's telling at www.benmezrich.com Be the first to know of new episodes by subscribing to this show on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

What does a dramatic narrative nonfiction account of a dramatic tech CEO look like? To find out, we turn to Ben Mezrich, the author whose books have been adapted to films like 21, The Social Network, and Dumb Money. His latest, Breaking Twitter, has already been optioned by MGM.  In this conversation: Ben's process for blending hard facts with informed speculation, Kara's advice for dealing with the tech titan, and predictions about Linda Yaccarino's fate. Oh, also a brainstorm about who should play Elon on the big screen: Kara envisions a classic Vince Vaughn type, Nayeema picks Brendan Fraser, and Ben throws in a Succession character — but *not* the one you'd expect!

This week, Jeff and Rufus have Ben Mezrich on to talk about his "narrative non-fiction" style of writing, the impact of the film "21" on gambling, and the aspects of journalism vs. storytelling. Then, they continue their conversation with Petra Bakosova. The hosts of this podcast are not investors with HTAA and were not directly compensated for their views; however, HTAA sponsored this podcast. The hosts and sponsor share a conflict of interest because the sponsor paid a one-time cash compensation for the content of the podcast and the hosts may be incented to endorse or promote HTAA's investment management services.

Ben Mezrich has sold over 10 million copies of his books.And, by the way, that's not even the impressive part. The impressive part is that he sells EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS BOOKS as a movie or TV show; in fact, if Hollywood isn't interested in the treatment, he doesn't even write the book.Mezrich has gotten into this position because of a chance encounter with some MIT students, which led to his writing Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions, which led to Kevin Spacey snapping up the film rights before the book was even out, which led to the book spending over 60 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.Then there was his book, The Accidental Billionaires, which David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin jumped on as Mezrich was writing the book and which, of course turned into the multi award-nominated movie The Social Network. (Mezrich is the only non-fiction author to have two adaptations open at #1 at the box office.)He's written numerous other books, including Bitcoin Billionaires and The Antisocial Network and is also a consulting producer on Billions. Oh, and his most recent book, The Midnight Ride, has an NFT component that already has over 3500 owners.So how does this happen? How does a former struggling novelist become Hollywood's go to guy pursued by designers who want to dress him for his book tours? And what is the secret to finding the sort of story that makes Hollywood salivate? It's all in this episode.GET MORE INFO ON THE POD AND OTHER STUFF BY GOING TO WWW.ONGOODAUTHORITYPOD.COM

Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 547, published last July 27 2015. Vladimir Putin's rise to the top is a Shakespearean drama. Putin the President was created by a group of wealthy businessmen to replace Boris Yeltsin. While believing they found a man who aligned with their own desires to keep the money at the top, Putin had different ideas. He successfully brought down elite families who disagreed with his politics. Russians embraced the leader and made him one of most popular Russian presidents of all time. Ben Mezrich shares his journey of writing his latest book, soon to be movie, Once Upon a Time in Russia.
