Click here to try it out!In this week's episode we dive into Better Man, Michael Gracey's glossy Robbie Williams biopic — the one where Robbie is portrayed as a CGI chimp. Yes, really. It's a bold swing that reframes a familiar music-biopic arc with unexpected bite: boy-band manufacture, burnout, reinvention, and the messy business of becoming “Robbie” when “Robert” is still in the room.What we coverThe Big Swing: Why the CGI chimp isn't a gimmick for giggles but a visual metaphor for the “performing monkey” persona Robbie built to survive fame — and why that works (or doesn't) for each of us.Factory Settings: From Nigel & Gary's control of Take That to the economics of who actually got paid, and the cost of being the “likeable one” without songwriting credits.Oasis Years & Networth Fever: The hang-around era, the envy, the one-upmanship, and the obsession with conquering Knebworth as validation.Dad, Demons & Dopamine: Anxiety, addiction, and that lifelong pursuit of approval — including the film's sweetest and saddest notes with Nan, and the uneasy father-son bookends.Does the Film Sing? Staging, choreography, and why set-pieces like “Rock DJ” land; what's rushed (Oasis/Nicole), what's caricature (sorry, Gary), and where the emotional math still doesn't balance.Should you watch the film — and our take on it?Short answer: yes to our episode (obviously), and qualified yes to the movie. One of us calls the chimp choice inspired, one calls it clever but not essential, and one is just happy it's never dull. If you like spirited disagreement with actual reasons, you're in the right feed.“It's every music-biopic cliché — but with a CGI chimp doing the coke. Somehow, that makes it feel new.”

On our perpetual quest for bigger, better, faster, wealthier, and stronger, we're led to believe that more is the answer – more gadgets, advanced technology, connections, resources, money, entertainment, etc. But what if there was a case to be made the answer to fulfillment is not in more but in less? My guest today, Dewyane Noel, makes that case. We talk about why less is more, how to reduce noise, chaos, and distraction in the modern world, the value of a hard day's work, what we can learn about human behavior through good horsemanship, and why good men ride good horses.

Yesterday on Jack Tame's show, I was talking about the new Springsteen film - Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere - and Jack asked me why there have been so many music biopics recently? It got me thinking about how musicians and their origin stories and struggles with fame have always made for good films, and we've always made them. But Jack is right, there have been quite a few biopics about musicians recently - think Better Man about Robbie Williams, A Complete Unknown about Bob Dylan, Bob Marley: One Love, Back to Black about Amy Winehouse, Maria about Maria Callas … and there's plenty more on the way. In 2028, each Beatle is getting their own film, thanks to director Sam Mendes. The truth of the matter is probably that they make money. Marvel and comic book superhero cinema dominance is cooling off, and so in recent years Hollywood has turned to the music biopic genre to replace it. It makes sense really. Like comic book heroes, many of these artists lives are steeped in mythology perfect to mine for drama, their stories are part of pop culture. And apart from paying for music rights - they aren't too expensive to make. And, we love them. We love the comfort of their familiarity and a bit of nostalgia. The music industry also love music biopics, it's a wonderful way for the industry to reconnect an artist with their audience and create new fans. The Springsteen movie is about the making of his acoustic, folk inspired album Nebraska. I listened to the album in the car on the way home from watching the film. Tick, job done. For me, the genre was revitalised with 2005's Walk the Line, which told the story of flawed genius Johnny Cash and his wife June's relationship. It told it - warts and all. Around that time, Ray, about Ray Charles, was also released, as was Control, the story of the troubled life and times of Ian Curtis, lead singer of new wave band Joy Division. Since then, we have been tapping our toes and reliving our own relationships with the music of Elvis, Elton John, Freddie Mercury and NWA. As popular as the genre is, and as much as we enjoy the ride, it's tricky for filmmakers to get these films right. Artists' stories often follow the same narrative beats so can be samey, but it can be risky taking a unique approach. Taking on a lead role can be rewarding for actors in awards season, but fans are judgy when watching an interpretation of their heroes. Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is a good case in point. Aside from a few concert scenes, mostly we watch Springsteen record an album in his bedroom and studio while slipping into depression. It's hardly a glossy, mainstream rollicking ride. If you're looking for something to watch this long weekend, and watching Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen isn't your thing, then hunt out some of our own music stories - which have been turned into excellent documentaries. Marlon Williams: Ngā Ao E Rua - Two Worlds, The Chills: The Triumph & Tragedy of Martin Phillipps, Alien Weaponry - Thrash Metal and Te Reo Māori, Shihad - Beautiful Machine, Heavenly Pop Hits - The Flying Nun Story. So many good choices. It's also worth noting Life in One Chord - the Shayne Carter story - will be available to rent from DOC PLAY from November 6th. All beautifully told stories that enrich our lives. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Acaso lo más sorprendente de este musical biográfico no es que se concentre en una figura como la de Robbie Williams —tan popular como disruptiva, tan corporativa como rebelde— sino su aproximación descarnada a un tipo de relato que el cine británico ha cubierto, y muy bien, a través de las décadas: el registro de terrores infantiles y juveniles que dejan profunda huella en la vida adulta. Es bajo esa óptica que Better Man funciona como relectura de David Copperfield y Billy Elliot, pero también como una narración espectral a ratos maníaca, casi siempre trágica, en la que el reemplazo del cantante mismo por la figura de un chimpancé, sirve como estupendo mecanismo de distanciamiento pero además como puerta de ingreso a dimensiones del horror que los musicales raramente suelen visitar. De eso y más se discute en el podcast.

In this episode, we explore the theology of manhood through the lens of biblical Christianity. We'll discuss how Scripture defines true manhood—not by cultural standards, but by God's original design. Key passages like Genesis 1:26-28 and Ephesians 5:25-33 form the foundation for understanding what it means to be made in God's image and called to a life of purpose, responsibility, and servant-leadership.   Featured Speaker Jonathan Storment At the Discipling Men Conference presented by discipleship.org Betterman.com renew.org

This week we look at one of the biggest box office flops of the last 50 years of cinema. How does a movie withe a $110 million dollar budget and and engaging story crash so hard? Answer: Make the lead character a CGI monkey and the rest of the cast human beings around him. based on the true story of the English pop star Robbie Williams, we loose site of his rise to fame, personal struggles, and road to redemption. Why? Because the director took the story down a weird corridor of crazy film making. Join us as we explore what could have been and why we think this movie failed where others in this genre wildly succeeded.

Intergenerational discipleship is the intentional passing on of faith, wisdom, and life experience from one generation to another. Rooted in biblical principles—such as Paul's encouragement to Timothy and the call in Deuteronomy 6 to teach children diligently—this approach bridges the gap between young and old, creating spiritual family beyond biological ties.   Featured Speaker Dr. Chris Harper   At the Discipling Men Conference presented by discipleship.org Betterman.com renew.org

In a world where strength is often measured by independence and stubborn certainty, the Christian worldview calls men to embrace humility and become teachable. This episode explores what it means to be a teachable man through the lens of faith, looking to biblical examples, the teachings of Jesus, and the wisdom shared throughout Scripture. Listeners will discover why a teachable heart is crucial for spiritual growth, how godly men throughout history cultivated humility, and practical ways to apply these truths today.

World War II was over. (Really. Truly.) But a group of Japanese soldiers stationed on Lubang Island in the Philippines weren't convinced. They didn't believe that Japan had surrendered. So they kept fighting. They terrorized locals. They evaded capture. Over the course of several years, Japanese officials made multiple attempts to convince the soldiers that the war had ended. Each time, Hiroo Onoda dismissed those attempts as enemy propaganda. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

American women have grown more independent economically in recent decades, giving them greater choice in whom to date or marry — and the choice to opt out altogether. But where does women's rising stock leave men, and how is it connected with today's so-called masculinity crisis?

As a second lieutenant in the Japanese Army, Hiroo Onoda took his job seriously. He'd been ordered to lead guerilla warfare missions on Lubang Island in the Philippines. He was told to never surrender. And when he received word that World War II had ended, Hiroo was certain that the message was a trick. So, he kept fighting. He kept fighting until 1974 – nearly 29 years after the war ended. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

A three night stand is a bit of a rarity in the Pearl Jam world, but any time that it's happened, the shows immediately become a part of the band's folklore. Mansfield's trilogy is always the premiere go to, but the three shows at Jones Beach in 2000 are legendary in their own right. The Daughter/It's OK moment from night two may still dominate the conversation 25 years later, but it's the night three show where the band went to all depths of their catalog to put together an extremely memorable finale on Long Island. The big theme of this show is centered around the high usage of an album that's considered to be a favorite of the die hard fan - No Code. There were seven tracks from the record played, and none of them were what you may consider to be as the commonly played songs from that record at the time (Hail, Hail, Lukin and to an extent, Habit). It's songs like Red Mosquito, Off He Goes, letting Stone sing on an inspired version of Mankind and a late encore performance of Smile, which was not considered to be a common song during this era like it is today. The band took it upon themselves to give this crowd something they'd never forget, and it wasn't just for the fact that these songs appeared, they all blew the doors down. From Immortality as a closer, to a unique usage of Save It For Later as the Better Man tag, the kitchen sink was thrown because the kitchen sink was lit ablaze. We'll dig into heavy discussion on all of the best performances from this show mentioned above, as well as Do The Evolution, Rearviewmirror, Black and the rare Binaural tracks for the era!

Better Man, el anti rockumental. Un análisis desde la psiquiatría Cuando el director Michael Gracey y el cantautor Robbie Williams cruzaron ideas para generar Better Man, nunca imaginaron que estaban a punto de entregarle al mundo uno de los mejores rockumentales de la historia. Pero menos pensaron que la película, llena de cualidades que el cine contemporáneo no ejecuta más, era también un ejercicio de reconocimiento de los demonios de Robbie Williams y que, desde la perspectiva de la exploración de sus sentimientos, iba a entregar un discurso que nada tiene que ver con la ya muy manida historia del rockero, su ascenso, su caída y resurrección. Desde la difícil relación con su padre, la exploración de las capacidades de Williams y la mirada crítica al mundo que le tocó vivir, Better Man es más de Shakespeare y de la psiquiatría, que del drama convencional de superación personal. Así que, para este episodio del podcast Cinegarage, vale mucho la pena explorarla al lado de nuestro doctor psiquiatra de extrema confianza, Rafa López, experto en el tema, mandamás del podcast Supracortical y amigo de Cinegarage. Vamos a revisar como nadie a Better Man, a Robbie Williams y, de paso, a nosotros mismos. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Wigan Warriors rugby league star and former Leeds Rhinos captain Kruise Leeming joins me for an honest, powerful conversation about leadership, loss, identity, and emotional growth.At just eight years old, Kruise lost his dad and was immediately told he was now “the man of the house.” That moment shaped everything: his drive, his discipline, and his approach to sport and leadership. But as he opens up here, it also left scars.We explore:The pressure of early responsibilityThe cost of performance-first leadershipOwning past mistakes and letting go of guiltReconnecting with faith, vulnerability and inner peaceBecoming a better man — for himself and the people around himKruise speaks openly about the things he got wrong, the people he wishes he'd said sorry to, and how he's learning to show up differently on and off the pitch.This episode goes beyond sport. It's about identity, masculinity, grief, and the courage it takes to slow down and change.Show NotesKruise's Journey into ManhoodLosing his father at age 8Taking on responsibility too youngBeing told: “You're the man of the house now”His mum's role in keeping him disciplinedSport as an Escape and a MirrorFinding rugby by chanceWhy individual sports weren't enoughRealising rugby gave him belonging and identityFeeling seen for the first timeThe Drive to Succeed and What It CostHis obsession with performanceLeadership at Leeds and the emotional disconnectHow “winning” became a way to avoid feelingThe relationships and moments he regrets missingThe Turning PointGrace (his partner) giving him permission to be vulnerableStarting to question: “Why does that trigger me?”Stepping into real masculinity, not performative strengthFaith, Reflection and Slowing DownLosing belief in God – and slowly finding it againHow faith helps him see beauty in differenceLetting go of judgement and controlMentors, Father Figures and Role ModelsThe influence of his grandad and Gaz GreenwoodLearning discipline, respect, and how to carry yourselfThe power of being held to a high standardLeadership, Identity and the Work AheadLearning to lead without angerUnderstanding himself through CliftonStrengthsStarting to feel free to be himself again at WiganLooking ahead to life after rugby: speaking, coaching, and helping others

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Three legendary figures reveal how fatherhood and family transformed their relationship with success and purpose. Matthew McConaughey shares the moment his relationship with Camila gave him courage to turn down millions in romantic comedies, leading to his Oscar-winning transformation, while confessing he wrote down 10 life goals at age 21 - including winning an Oscar before he was even acting. Kobe Bryant opens up about learning fundamentals after scoring zero points an entire summer at age 11, then using psychological warfare to elevate teammates and dominate opponents. Terry Crews delivers the most vulnerable story, describing his 30-year journey from an abused child in Flint to beating up his father at age 30, only to discover revenge solved nothing. Each man discovered that true strength comes not from individual dominance, but from the courage to serve something greater than themselves - whether through committed relationships, team excellence, or breaking generational cycles.Matthew's book GreenlightsMatthew's kids book Just BecauseKobe Bryant Dear BasketballTerry's book Manhood: How to Be a Better Man-or Just Live with OneTerry's audiobook Tough: My Journey to True PowerTerry's kids book Terry's CrewIn this episode you will learn:How writing down your goals creates an invisible contract with your subconscious that works for decadesWhy the fundamentals beat natural talent when you commit to daily practice over yearsHow committed relationships give you more courage and creativity in your career, not lessThe psychology behind using work ethic as a weapon to mentally break down competitionWhy revenge fantasies destroy your soul even when you get the payback you wantedFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1784For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Matthew McConaughey – greatness.lnk.to/1422SCKobe Bryant  – greatness.lnk.to/691SCTerry Crews – greatness.lnk.to/1258SC Get more from Lewis!
