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. Join us as we discuss the power of listening, the freedom in admitting we don't have all the answers, and the legacy a teachable spirit creates for future generations.   Featured Speaker Dr. Bryan Hurlbutt    At the Discipling Men Conference presented by discipleship.org Betterman.com renew.org 

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!

It's Robbie Williams, but he's a chimp! But is there anything more to Michael Gracey's biopic jukebox musical drama about the British pop phenomenon? Are there any facts in it?

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

Who else could pull off the animal transformation of one of the world's biggest rockstars but Wētā FX? Wētā is well known for its visual effects mastery, and so when Robbie Williams said “make me an ape!”, it's only natural that they were the ones for the job. The man responsible for Williams' simian visage in Better Man was Visual Effects Supervisor Luke Millar, who was nominated for an Oscar for his work. A visual effects supervisor is responsible for coordinating all the different elements that comprise the visual effects of a production – most of which is invisible in many movies. He told Jack Tame it's about balance – everyone always wants more for less, and so being creative and efficient is the name of the game. When it comes to Better Man, Millar got involved after working on the pre-visualisation work for the musical sequences before shooting began. “After seeing a couple of those sequences, I read the script, and that was me,” he said. “I was all in at that point to, to want to take on the challenge.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jon and Shady can't get over the CGI chimp in this movie, and also realize they know Robbie Williams's music more than they initially thought.Shady's Socials: @cookieoshadyPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodThreads: @butasongpodNext episode: On with the Show!

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!

BetterMan was invited into Parchman Prison in Mississippi to host a 1 day Men's conference for the inmates. BetterMan also got to train and send out field ministers to launch BetterMan studies through out Parchman and Mississippi Prisons. Dr. Chris Harper shared with the inmates the importance of knowing God's Word and passing it along to your children. 

One of last year's most puzzling releases came in the form of a musical biopic chronicling the rise to fame of British pop star Robbie Williams. While following all the usual biopic tropes, this film made one rather noticeable swerve by portraying its star and subject as an anthropomorphic CGI chimpanzee. With Williams providing the narration and singing and Jonno Davies providing the voice and motion capture, the film, directed by The Greatest Showman's Michael Gracey, never acknowledges this species-bending premise while playing it straight. Despite Robbie Williams' mega-stardom in the UK, audiences didn't swing into theaters to see it there, or in the States where he's far less well known: the $110 million dollar flick only brought in $22.5 million at the box office. Critics, however, were mostly kind to the film, which received a record-breaking 16 nominations at the 2025 Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards, winning in nine categories, including Best Film. But will our hosts see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil? Or does Better Man deserve worse?    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''. Please subscribe and give us a positive review.

When you explore the music of The Yardbirds you are really observing the evolution of what would become hard rock.  This group started in 1963 and over its time would engage the talents of three of the greatest guitarists of the rock world:  Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page.  Additional musicians in the group through 1968 were Keith Relf on vocals and harmonica, Jim McCarty on drums, Chris Dreja on rhythm guitar, and Paul Samwell-Smith on bass.  The group was founded in the blues, but over time would explore psychedelic rock, pop rock, and hard rock, with instrumental jams being a signature sound throughout their tenure.Having a Rave Up, also known as "Having a Rave Up with the Yardbirds," is their second American album, and showcases two of their virtuoso guitarists.  The album has one side of studio recordings in which Jeff Beck is the guitarist.  Side two is a compilation of live performances featuring Eric Clapton on guitar.  During a time when most songs were expected to run about three minutes, the Yardbirds would extend these out in live performances to six or seven minutes with instrumental jams known as "rave ups."  The combination of studio and live work is an excellent introduction to The Yardbirds, as the band's strength was in their live performances.  Their studio efforts would improve with the experimentation of Jeff Beck.Jimmy Page would become their guitarist in mid-1966 until their split-up in mid-1968.  He would form a group as "The New Yardbirds" shortly thereafter, which would be renamed shortly thereafter to Led Zeppelin.Rob brings us this study in the origins of rock for this week's podcast. Heart Full of SoulThis song was the first single released by The Yardbirds after Jeff Beck joined the group.  It was written by Graham Gouldman, who would later be the co-lead singer and bassist of 10cc.  The band wanted to include a sitar in the instrumentation for this song, but when things didn't work out for that, Beck experimented with his guitar to duplicate the eastern sound of the sitar instead.You're a Better Man than IThe opening song from the album is also known as "Mister, You're a Better Man than I."  It was written by brothers Mike and Brian Hugg, and is an attempt at a more folk rock song.  The socially conscious lyrics take aim at the hypocrisy of society and politics, stating that you shouldn't judge a person based on superficial appearances or education.Smokestack LightningThe live opener to side two is a cover of an old blues song recorded by American blues artist Howlin' Wolf in 1956.  The inspiration for the title came from watching trains go by at night and seeing the sparks come out of the smokestack.The Train Kept a-Rollin'While Aerosmith's cover may be more famous, this jump blues piece was originally performed by Tiny Bradshaw in 1951.  The Yardbirds played this song during their first American tour in 1965, and Sam Phillips recorded it for them in Memphis later that year.  It closes out side 1 of the album. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the television action comedy "Batman"This campy superhero show premiered this month. STAFF PICKS:Don't Think Twice, It's Alright by The Wonder Who?Bruce begins the staff picks with a disguise group.  The Four Seasons used the name "The Wonder Who?" for four records released from 1965 to 1967, including this one.  Frankie Valli wasn't happy with his vocals on this song, and he recorded it with a "joke" falsetto voice while trying to break the tension in the studio.  All Your Love by John Mayall & the BluesbreakersLynch brings us a blues song originally recorded by American blues musician Otis Rush in 1958.  Multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter John Mayall led this group, which included Eric Clapton on guitar and John McVie on bass.  This single is the lead-off track to the debut album "Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton," also known as "The Beano Album" because Clapton is reading a children's comic called "The Beano" on the front cover.My Generation by the WhoWayne's staff pick is the hit that started the trajectory for the Who.  Guitarist Pete Townshend wrote this song about young rebellion.  Roger Daltrey incorporates a stutter in his vocals to sound like a British mod on speed.  While this song would reach number 2 on the UK charts, it topped out at number 74 on the US charts.Day Tripper by the BeatlesRob features a well known song from the Beatles, recorded during the "Rubber Soul" album sessions but not included on the album itself.  It was released as a double A-side single along with "We Can Work it Out" during a time when the Beatles were under pressure to release a single in time for the 1965 Christmas season.   COMEDY TRACK:The Lurch by Ted CassidyTed Cassidy played Lurch on "The Addams Family," and also performed this novelty song.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.
