Podcasts about Blade Runner

In a dystopian future, two mercenaries steal a legendary katana from the Mexican Yakuza. Hunted by a relentless Cyborg, their concert turns into chaos as they face off in a deadly final showdown. https://www.instagram.com/6superfabs9/ Director Statement K.O. - Malcriada, the first Mexican cyberpunk film, crafted with passion and dedication by an ensemble of talented artists who poured everything into creating this rich, dystopian universe. This film pushes the boundaries of survival, where moral limits are blurred, and technology has merged with humanity in unprecedented ways. Inspired by iconic sci-fi films of the '80s such as Terminator, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Blade Runner, Malcriada pays homage to these classics while delivering a fresh perspective uniquely rooted in Mexican culture. Accompanying this visual experience is an electrifying soundtrack by the emerging HyperPunk band, Malcriada, led by the talented Mathilde Sobrino and Pepe Pecas. At Reserva Films, we remain committed to genre innovation, presenting audiences with bold new narratives and aesthetics. We stand firmly behind Mexican talent and independent cinema, fostering a creative community capable of delivering powerful productions beyond traditional industry confines. —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

PRISIONEROS del célebre director Denis Villeneuve (Dune parte 1 y 2, Blade Runner 2049, La Llegada) es una película dura y que deja profunda huella. La historia de un padre a cuya hija han secuestrado y que toma la iniciativa de retener al sospechoso al que las autoridades no tienen suficientes pruebas para encerrar y, con métodos expeditivos, le interroga a su manera. ¿Localizará a su hija de esta manera? Con un Hugh Jackman explosivo y un Jake Gyllenhaal tan preciso como siempre, asistimos a una película con diferentes lecturas y que sitúa al espectador en el típico «¿y tú qué harías en tal situación?» Hoy, junto a Jaime Angulo, Paco Garrido y Antonio Runa prepárate para ser rehén, torturador, investigador y padre.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Oscar Pistorius, the South African Olympic sprinter known worldwide as the ""Blade Runner."" On Valentine's Day 2013, Pistorius fired four shots through a locked bathroom door in his Pretoria home and killed his girlfriend, model and advocate Reeva Steenkamp. What investigators uncovered behind the world's most celebrated story of perseverance was a pattern of recklessness, rage, and control that had been hiding in plain sight for years. Candice examines how a childhood defined by loss, a family philosophy of denial, and a deeply conditioned relationship between fear and firearms converged to bring one of sport's greatest icons to one of its most shocking falls from grace.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

Diez años después hacemos una secuela tardía de un podcast sobre secuelas tardías. Parece un trabalenguas pero es más necesario que nunca que abordemos este fenómeno en la época del "contenido". Con las plataformas muy asentadas, hay un sinfín de "recuelas", reboots o estrenos directos en streaming de películas que nunca pidieron una continuación. Analizamos 6 ejemplos paradigmáticos de los últimos diez años: - Blade Runner 2049, Denis Villeneuve ¿está a la altura del clásico? - Bitelchús Bitelchús, ¿vuelve Tim Burton por sus fueros? - El regreso de Mary Poppins, la secuela más tardía ¿e innecesaria? - Todos los lados de la cama, ¿por qué no se repitió el taquillazo? - Doctor Sueño, ¿estaría conforme Stephen King con este nuevo Resplandor? - Top Gun: Maverick, salvó las salas pero ¿es mejor que la primera parte? No tardamos diez años en tratar de resolver todas estás incógnitas y además nos volvemos a aventurar sobre próximas secuelas tardías.

There is a dinosaur robot, it's Blade Runner, I don't freakin know what happened during this episode.

Shauna and Olivia are in the studio together live and in person, so naturally this episode revolves around artificial life forms. Robots and Artificial Intelligence are hot topics right now, as so-called AI actresses threaten to take over Hollywood, large language models steal our creative endeavors, and humans are demonstrably losing brain power because we need AI programs to compose simple emails for us. Looking back almost 100 years ago at Metropolis to the 1980s' Terminator-style killer robots through today's "good for her" sex-bot revenge movies, the Junkies look at the pop culture robots that want to help us, kill us, sleep with us, or all three. They discuss how well fictional movies have predicted our current reality, and discuss future worst-case scenarios and how we can come together to avoid them. You can watch the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast on YouTube!

As always there are spoilers ahead! Blade Runner was not a huge hit in 1982 but it did gain a fair few fans on its initial release. One of those fans was a teenager from Cheshire by the name of Paul Franklin who would go on to work on numerous big budget films and win two Oscars for his work as a Special Effects Supervisor on Interstellar and Inception. I spoke to Paul about his first impressions of the film, what makes it special and how it influences Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises.   Apologies for the abrupt ending to this episode. It is late, I've been quite busy and I have other work I really must tend to.

Justin and Chuck discuss Denis Villeneuve's Incendies, a devastating mystery about twins who travel to their late mother's war-torn homeland to fulfill her final wishes and uncover long-buried secrets. They explore the film's bleak atmosphere, nonlinear storytelling, powerful scenes, and the emotional impact of the mother's journey. They also examine the early signs of the filmmaking style Villeneuve would later bring to Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, and Dune, all leading to one of modern cinema's most unforgettable endings.

This week on Geekstorians, Dave from Geektown looks at three films that did not behave the way Hollywood expected.‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show' arrived as a box office failure before midnight audiences turned it into a ritual. ‘Blade Runner' opened to confusion, studio interference and mixed reactions before becoming one of science fiction's most debated landmarks. And ‘The Big Lebowski' drifted into cinemas as a modest Coen Brothers oddity before fans turned The Dude into something far bigger, stranger, and, somehow, semi-spiritual.This is not a story about films that were secretly massive hits all along. It is about what happens when something strange, difficult or badly timed finds the people who need it later. Through late-night screenings, VHS, cable, DVD, festivals, quotes, costumes and arguments that refuse to die, these films became more than movies. They became communities.Season Two of Geekstorians has been about things that did not go to plan. This episode asks what happens when failure is not the end of the story, but the beginning of the cult.Presented by Dave from Geektown.For more on TV, film, gaming and geek culture, head to Geektown.co.uk, and check out Geektown Radio for the latest entertainment news, reviews and UK air dates.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.

This week we're talking about whether it would be ok to live in the world of your webcomic. This was a fun idea proposed by Takoyama in the DD forums and we thought we'd explore it! Then we expanded it to various cinematic universes. Would you like to live in your own webcomic world or someone else's and if so, which one? And which cinematic world would you like to live in? Out of all our own webcomic worlds we decided that Banes's Typical Strange was the best choice by far. A 1990s video rental place, with friends, hijinks, and shenanigans before the internet took over and ruined stuff? Man, in a heartbeat! That's pretty much a perfect world. Even up to the early 2000s with DVDs it would still be just as good. Take us all there now please. In cinematic universes the choice was more blurred but we decided the Marvel Universe would probably be the worst since normal people are simply there to be victims and super people are the only ones that matter. The Star Wars world seems way too full of war but I remember that one family in Caravan of Courage, who were going off on a camping holiday before everything turned to crap… That seemed to indicate there was some normality in that world though where people can grow and raise families in peace. We also decided that the world of the original Superman film (Christopher Reaves), would be a good place to live too since there's only one main hero there originally and he loves saving people. So what's YOUR choice? Oh, we also read out all the posts by the people who commented in the thread in funny voices. The best off Gunwallace track this week was Holon - Sexy Scifi, Blade Runner meets Roxy Music.

In this gritty, neon-soaked, leather-wearin', motor oil-stinkin', rockabilly-singin', pole-dancin', pickaxe-swingin' installment, Paul, Javi, and the tough-talkin' Producer Brad travel to another place, another time to bear witness to a “rock'n'roll fable”. It's Streets of Fire, one of the oddest mainstream summer movies of the eighties; a feature-length music video that is equal parts western, Road Warrior dystopia, Blade Runner quasi future noir, and Berlin sex club fashion show! It's Diane Lane, Michael Paré, Rick Moranis, and Willem Dafoe at his palest and most consumptive in Walter Hill's confounding valentine to toxic masculinity!

Krista Bracke (1968) groeide op in Beervelde bij Lochristi, was presentator en producer bij Radio 1, tot ze in 2009 in coma raakte door een vleesetende bacterie. De dokters gaven haar minder dan vijf procent overlevingskans. Ze haalde het, maar verloor beide onderbenen en raakte haar rechterhand gedeeltelijk kwijt. Ze hield er ook een chronische longaandoening en een immuundefect aan over. Ze publiceerde ⁠Mijn leven op stelten⁠ (2017) en ⁠Van mens tot mens⁠ (2020). Ze is bezieler van Blades on Track — een initiatief dat de hoge kosten van beenprothesen voor lopers aankaart.Ik zocht haar thuis op in Gentbrugge. In ons gesprek vertelt ze over de Zuid-Afrikaanse atleet Oscar Pistorius, die net als zij met blades loopt, en hoe ze zich met hem verbonden voelt. Over het eerste boek dat ze las toen ze weer kon lezen. Over het eerste wat ze met haar kinderen deed toen die haar eindelijk konden komen bezoeken. Ze vertelt over haar ontmoeting met Dimitri Verhulst, of toch min of meer. We gaan van haar huis in Gentbrugge naar de vrije radio in Beervelde, naar het brandwondencentrum en naar het revalidatiecentrum van het UZ Gent.

AI. You may have noticed it's everywhere now — in your phone, your fridge, the suspiciously enthusiastic email your boss "wrote" last Tuesday. And cinema, bless its little reactive heart, has been trying to warn us about this for fifty years. The problem is we keep not listening, partly because the warnings have so often arrived in the shape of a sexy lady robot, which is its own diagnosis of the problem.This week, Pete is joined by Chelsea Stardust and Tommy Metz III for a triptych spanning five decades of artificial intelligence horror: Demon Seed (1977), Cam (2018), and Companion (2025). Three films, one increasingly nervous question: what exactly are we asking of AI, and what does it keep becoming anyway?The conversation runs the lineage of synthetic women in cinema — a trope factory that stretches from Metropolis through The Stepford Wives, Blade Runner, Weird Science, Her, Ex Machina, M3GAN, and Subservience, with a foundational-film round that lands on WarGames and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Along the way: the paperclip maximizer as a way of understanding what Proteus actually is, the cultural weight of releasing a forced-pregnancy AI horror four years after Roe v. Wade, platform terms-of-use as the modern book of the vampire, and the genuinely surprising argument that the most hopeful film in the set is the one where a robot drives off into the sunset with all the money.There are detours, because of course there are: villain-era Jack Quaid, Lukas Gage doing the robot, Sophie Thatcher sliding her own intelligence to one hundred percent, and Tommy's new and frankly concerning bedtime ritual.The films:Demon Seed (1977), dir.

We're talking about men this time. Using different media like Star Wars, American Psycho, and Blade Runner 2049, we develop some theory on this idea of "media illiteracy", on masculinity and its toxicity.

Allen covers Suzlon hitting 2 GW in a single Indian state, Nabrawind’s crane-free turbine install in Namibia, Antora’s South Dakota thermal battery, Australia’s $17 billion grid expansion, and Shimizu recycling old turbine blades into steel. Sign up now for Uptime Tech News, our weekly email update on all things wind technology. This episode is sponsored by Weather Guard Lightning Tech. Learn more about Weather Guard’s StrikeTape Wind Turbine LPS retrofit. Follow the show on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Linkedin and visit Weather Guard on the web. And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes’ YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! GOOD MORNING. The wind industry is not just getting bigger. It is getting smarter. And today … we have the proof. Let us start in India. SUZLON GROUP just crossed a milestone. Two gigawatts of wind orders … in a single Indian state. The latest deal … sixty-five turbines at three megawatts each for a company called SUNSURE ENERGY. SUNSURE is not a utility. It is an independent power producer building round-the-clock clean energy for data centers … electric vehicles … and heavy industry. Wind paired with solar and battery storage. Power that does not stop when the sun goes down. SUZLON is already building six hundred and sixty-four megawatts of additional commercial and industrial projects in the same region. And SUNSURE … backed by PARTNERS GROUP of Switzerland … has seven gigawatts in development across India with a target of ten gigawatts by two thousand thirty. That is not government-led. That is private capital chasing wind. Now … across the ocean to Africa. A Spanish company called NABRAWIND [NAH-brah-wind] just solved a problem that has plagued remote wind farms for years. How do you install a turbine when you cannot get a crane to the site? Their answer is a system called SKYLIFT. No heavy-lift cranes. None. A self-erecting tower combined with a blade installation tool they call the BLADERUNNER. They just put up a GOLDWIND six-megawatt turbine at a wind farm in NAMIBIA. And here is the part that changes the math. Traditional crane installation needs calm air. Six to eight meters per second. Maximum. NABRAWIND’s system works in fifteen meters per second sustained … with gusts up to twenty. That site blows hard. All the time. Which is exactly why they chose it. When complete … seven turbines … two hundred and thirty gigawatt-hours a year. About six percent of NAMIBIA’s entire electricity demand. NABRAWIND was acquired by Australia’s FORTESCUE last year as part of its industrial decarbonization push. So India is stacking private-sector wind orders. Africa is installing turbines without cranes. And in SOUTH DAKOTA … they are storing the wind itself. A California startup called ANTORA ENERGY just built a five-gigawatt-hour thermal battery at an ethanol plant in BIG STONE CITY. More than two hundred solid carbon blocks. When the wind blows at night and nobody needs the power … the blocks absorb cheap electricity and heat up. When the plant needs energy … the blocks release heat or generate electricity through special cells that capture light from superheated material. Think of it as a giant toaster oven battery. Full power expected by October. The plant’s president put it simply. Nobody has got a switch for the wind. It blows when it wants to blow. Now … down under. The AUSTRALIAN government just announced the biggest single expansion of its electricity grid. Nineteen renewable energy projects. Seven-point-eight gigawatts of generation. Seven-point-nine gigawatt-hours of battery storage. Seventeen billion dollars in private investment. Nineteen thousand construction jobs. Power for four million homes. Among the largest … RWE’s [arr-vay’s] THEODORE wind farm in QUEENSLAND. One-point-one gigawatts. Up to one hundred and seventy turbines. Three billion Australian dollars. RWE … the same company building offshore wind in England and Denmark … is now building onshore in AUSTRALIA. And the AUSTRALIAN government is not stopping. They just opened the next round of tenders. Another five gigawatts. Finally … JAPAN. Major contractor SHIMIZU [shee-MEE-zoo] CORPORATION has developed a way to recycle old wind turbine blades. Not into park benches. Not into landfill. Into steel. The blades are cut and crushed into a material that goes into electric furnaces to adjust the carbon content of steel … making it harder and stronger. JAPAN expects to replace one hundred to two hundred turbines a year by the two thousand thirties. That is two to three thousand tonnes of blade waste. Annually. SHIMIZU has built about twenty percent of the wind power facilities in JAPAN. They see this technology as a way to grow their entire wind energy business. So … let us step back. India stacks two gigawatts of private-sector wind orders. Africa installs turbines in gale-force winds … without a crane. South Dakota stores surplus wind in superheated carbon blocks. Australia backs nineteen projects with seventeen billion dollars. And Japan turns old blades into stronger steel. From the factory floor to the scrap yard … from the wind farm to the furnace … the industry is solving problems at every stage of a turbine’s life. And that's the state of the wind industry for the 25th of May 2026. Join us for the UPTIME WIND ENERGY PODCAST tomorrow.

Send us Fan MailI chase the stories behind massive classic rock hits that almost didn't happen, from “joke riffs” to last-minute album fillers. Then I pivot into how movies and TV lock songs into our brains and why 1980s films still set the standard for action, sci-fi, and cult classics. • Sweet Child O' Mine starting as a warm-up riff • Don't Stop Believin' as slow-build cultural glue • Songs permanently linked to movie and TV scenes • Paranoid written fast to fill runtime • Under Pressure as chaotic improv that stuck • Metallica's hesitation around personal lyrics • Dream On as a slow-burn power ballad • Jeff Lynne's perfectionism and the “missing” feeling • Best 80s movies picks and hot takes • Blade Runner fandom and the power of soundtracks If you like it, share it. If you like this podcast SHARE it.

You can find the synopsis of the film on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_Voyage#Plot In 1966 20th Century Fox chose a steady pair of hands in Richard Fleischer (the son of animation superstar Max Fleischer) to helm what at the time was both the tiniest and the biggest science fiction adventure. Tiny because of the nano science storyline and biggest because of it being the most expensive science fiction film ever made (at that time) costing over five million dollars.   I talk to two top tier guests about the film. Jay Telotte is Professor Emeritus of film and media studies at Georgia Tech. He has written/edited numerous books and articles about science fiction film including his upcoming books Before Trek: Building American Science Fiction Television.

Independent films and film festivals are thriving in Louisiana, and on this episode of Discover Lafayette, we welcome three passionate advocates helping shape the future of filmmaking across the state: Southern Screen Festival Founder and Executive Director Julie Bordelon; filmmaker and Director of Public Relations for the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival, Jenika Kolacz; and Lafayette native Kelly Swift, Film Programming Director for Manship Theatre and Events Director for the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival. The conversation explores Louisiana's growing independent film ecosystem, the importance of film festivals in building creative communities, and the realities filmmakers face trying to sustain careers in the state. Julie Bordelon, founder of Southern Screen Festival, reflects on how she entered the industry without formal film school training, learning production hands-on while working in Lafayette during the height of Louisiana's film production boom. “I had no clue what I was doing,” she says of her early days in production. “By the middle of the first film, I was a department head.” Bordelon later served as an entertainment liaison for the City of Lafayette, helping support Louisiana's tax incentive initiatives for film, music, and digital media before launching Southern Screen Festival nearly sixteen years ago. Southern Screen Festival was born out of a desire to create opportunities for local artists and filmmakers in Acadiana. “I pulled them all on to the board and started the Southern Screen Festival without knowing at all what I was doing,” Bordelon recalls. “Just trying to make a scene for us and for other artists and creatives.” In its 16th year, the festival will be held November 19-22, 2026. Learn more at Southern Screen. Today, Southern Screen Festival has evolved into a year-round, multidisciplinary arts organization that extends far beyond its annual November festival. The organization now presents film screenings, workshops, networking mixers, writing programs, pop-up events, live podcasts, and music showcases designed to strengthen Louisiana's creative economy and connect local artists with national industry professionals. Southern Screen Festival has become one of Louisiana's most respected independent arts festivals, attracting filmmakers, musicians, producers, writers, editors, and storytellers from around the world to downtown Lafayette every November. The four-day festival features international screenings, panels, workshops, live performances, parties, and filmmaker networking events designed to create what Bordelon calls “a festival for filmmakers and for artists.” The festival remains intentionally non-competitive, allowing filmmakers at every level to feel equally supported and accessible to one another. Over the years, Southern Screen Festival has welcomed an impressive lineup of industry guests, including Tom Kenny, editor Javier Marcheselli of “Blade Runner 2049” and “Dune,” “Family Guy” writer and actor Alex Borstein, and producer Monty Ross of “Malcolm X.” Bordelon explains that Southern Screen Festival intentionally creates opportunities for festival attendees to interact directly with accomplished industry professionals in workshops and conversations without barriers or gatekeepers. One of the festival's newest expansions is particularly exciting for Acadiana's growing animation community. Southern Screen Festival recently announced plans to partner with UL-Lafayette on a brand-new animation festival launching in April 2027. The event will feature curated animation screenings, educational panels, artist talks, and hands-on learning opportunities aimed at students, emerging creators, and animation fans of all ages. During the interview, Bordelon explains that the idea grew directly out of audience demand for more animation programming at Southern Screen Festival. Southern Screen's commitment to education also includes its expanding student film initiatives. The organization hosts student workshops and showcases for Acadiana students in grades six through twelve, encouraging young creatives to experiment with filmmaking while gaining exposure to professional industry environments. Bordelon also discussed her work through Create Louisiana, which provides grants, mentorship, and creative support to Louisiana filmmakers and artists statewide. The episode also shines a spotlight on the rapid rise of the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival, known as BRUFF. Launched in 2025 at Manship Theatre in downtown Baton Rouge, the festival sold out its inaugural year and immediately established itself as a major gathering point for Louisiana's independent film community. The festival celebrates indie and genre-focused filmmaking while creating opportunities for networking, collaboration, and hands-on education. Kelly Swift describes BRUFF as “a film festival for filmmakers by filmmakers,” with programming that intentionally supports student filmmakers, first-time directors, emerging artists, and seasoned professionals equally. Last year's inaugural festival featured more than 50 independent films, educational panels, networking opportunities, workshops, and afterparties throughout downtown Baton Rouge. Organizers say one of the most rewarding aspects was watching filmmakers from Louisiana connect organically with artists visiting from Florida, Texas, Georgia, New York, California, and beyond. This year, the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival will be held from August 27 – 30, 2026. Festival passes start at $30, with full access available for $75. Visit BRUFF for more information. Jenika Kolacz notes that BRUFF's mission goes beyond screenings. “We really want to celebrate independent filmmaking as a whole,” she explains, emphasizing the importance of creating spaces where filmmakers can collaborate, share resources, and build careers together. The festival's organizers also experimented this year with a free FilmFreeway submission day to eliminate financial barriers for filmmakers who might otherwise be unable to afford festival fees. The guests also discuss the broader challenges facing Louisiana's film industry, including fluctuating production levels, workforce sustainability, and the need to better support local filmmakers, not just outside productions utilizing Louisiana tax credits. “Those local filmmakers, those are the people we need to be supporting,” Bordelon says. Despite the challenges, the episode is ultimately an optimistic look at Louisiana's creative future. Whether through Southern Screen Festival's expansion into animation and year-round programming, or BRUFF's fast-growing grassroots momentum in Baton Rouge, all three guests emphasize the same goal: creating spaces where Louisiana filmmakers can collaborate, learn, experiment, and build sustainable creative careers right here at home.

First, an apology: we have been pretty quiet for the past couple of months. We are going to switch to an every-other-month schedule for the time being, as we want to keep the show as fresh as possible. That's been a little difficult lately, given the absolute paucity of information on Blade Runner 2099.  In today's episode, Jaime and Patrick discuss the current situation and compare it to other promotional cycles. We will go back to monthly (and likely biweekly) episodes again soon, but until then we will see you every other month. Thanks for sticking with us! Once 2099 is more clearly on the horizon, we will have a very exciting time in fandom.  We're looking very forward to that.  / For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcast.com  // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Fields of Calantha. // To support the show, please consider visiting www.bladerunnerpodcast.com/support.

We sit down with Eric Ries, author of "The Lean Startup" to discuss his new book "Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad... and How Great Companies Stay Great" (which launches later this week on May 26) to name the force that pulls great companies off mission and to map concrete ways to build businesses that stay great as they scale. We also get into AI agents, vibe coding risks, and why trust, empathy, and stories can outperform metrics when the stakes are real.• corporations as superorganisms with emergent intelligence and moral character• slow AI vs fast AI and why governance becomes the bottleneck• shareholder primacy as a self-defeating objective function that rewards value destruction• why validated learning cannot be outsourced and how AI should teach, not replace, understanding• how VC incentives can shift toward longer-term fund structures and mission-driven returns• mission-controlled companies and governance fortresses that protect purpose without founder hubris• the Virgin America story and the need for a mission guardian• Devoted Health as an example of operationalized empathy that reduces churn and builds loyalty• performance reviews as story-harvesting systems and the danger of surrogation by metrics• HEB's crisis decision as a compounding trust investmentA company can be wildly successful and still be losing something essential. Eric Ries joins us to explain why, and he doesn't blame a few “bad actors” or a vague culture problem. He names the physics: financial gravity, the invisible pull that bends incentives, board decisions, and leadership behavior toward extraction and short-term wins. Along the way, we talk about his new book and what it takes to protect a mission when the money gets serious.We dig into corporations as “superorganisms” and why organizations function like slow AI, then connect that to fast AI and the rise of autonomous agents inside the enterprise. Eric lays out why shareholder primacy is an objective function that can reward value destruction, how governance “best practices” often fail in the real world, and what mission-controlled structures can look like when you want checks and balances without creating an unaccountable emperor-for-life.Then we go practical and a little spicy: vibe coding, overconfidence, black swans, and what validated learning means when code is generated faster than humans can evaluate it. We also get into trust as a compounding asset, with stories like Virgin America's mission getting liquidated, Devoted Health operationalizing empathy, and HEB proving customer-first values under crisis conditions. Plus, we run Eric through a sci-fi corporate governance lightning round that hits Blade Runner, Murderbot, Alien, and Terminator 2.Eric Ries: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eries/Eric Ries is an accomplished serial entrepreneur, advisor, and New York Times bestselling author,  creating the Lean Startup methodology and writing the iconic book The Lean Startup, which has sold over a million copies worldwide.  His highly anticipated new book, "Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad...and How Great Companies Stay Great" releases May 26: https://www.amazon.com/Incorruptible-Good-Companies-Great-Stay/dp/B0FWZZBPZBEric is a partner at Unshackled Ventures and also the Founder and Executive Chairman of the Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE).  Eric is also the co-founder of the AI R&D lab Answer.AI, a former entrepreneur-in-residence at Harvard Business School and IDEO, and the host of his own podcast, The Eric Ries Show.Website: https://www.position2.com/podcast/Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Email us with any feedback for the show: sparkofages.podcast@position2.com

Once upon a time not so very long ago, artificial intelligence (AI) was a product of speculative science fiction, especially in films from Metropolis to Blade Runner.Today, AI has so infiltrated our daily lives, the thought of not having access to Google or other AI-driven apps on our mobile phones and computers scares the crap out of a lot of people. Paul continues his investigation into AI with able assistance from author, Silicon Valley survivor and depth psychologist Elizabeth Nelson who explores the wide gulf between human and machine this week on Spirit Gym.Check out Elizabeth's essays and individual coaching groups, watch her video presentations and read her essays on her website.Timestamps7:54 Defining technology and machines.12:05 Artificial intelligence, large language models (LLMs) or large language machines?19:12 “Technology is not neutral.”23:48 Confusing data and information with real knowledge.29:50 The intrusion of machine language into our humanity.37:45 The danger of LLMs emulating humans.51:23 Exploring the gulf between human and cyborg/machine in books and films like Blade Runner.57:23 When describing what AI does, calling it making crap up or AI slop is better than hallucinating.1:08:26 Are we turning an it like AI into a being?1:14:15 The irony of some people celebrating the end times while others turn to transhumanism.1:38:18 Can you leave your tech toys at home for a week without feeling anxiety?1:49:48 Why is it so important for humanity to understand very clearly what reality is?ResourcesDepth Psychology, Myth and Artificial Intelligence: Soul and the Machine, edited by Jason Batt and Jonathan EricksonThe Art of Jungian Couples Therapy: An Introduction by Elizabeth Nelson and Anthony DelmedicoThe Art of Inquiry: A Depth Psychology Perspective by Elizabeth Nelson and Joseph CoppinPsyche's Knife: Archetypal Explorations of Love and Power by Elizabeth NelsonJournal of Jungian Scholarly StudiesUnderstanding Media: The Extension of Man by Marshall McLuhan and Lewis Lapham Elizabeth's Psyche, Soma, Cyborg course at the Pacifica Graduate InstituteThe Ship of Theseus (Theseus's Paradox)Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K.

This week on Born to Watch, Whitey flies solo for a massive deep dive into 1982: Year in Review, revisiting one of the most important, influential and completely stacked years in cinema history. While 1982 might not officially hold the crown as the greatest movie year ever, it delivered a collection of films that completely changed Hollywood forever.In this special episode, Whitey breaks down how one single year gave us E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Blade Runner, The Thing, First Blood, Rocky III, Poltergeist, Conan the Barbarian and Tron all within the same incredible stretch of cinema history.Whitey explores the insane eight-week period where science fiction and fantasy films absolutely rewired Hollywood forever. It was the year when genre filmmaking exploded, CGI truly began, practical effects reached their peak, and audiences somehow ignored two movies that are now regarded as masterpieces: Blade Runner and The Thing.There's a huge breakdown of the 1982 box office top ten, including Whitey revisiting Spielberg's emotional masterpiece E.T., which held the box office record for an entire decade. He reflects on how modern kids' movies rarely hit adults emotionally the same way they once did, admitting E.T. absolutely destroyed him on the cry meter during a recent rewatch.The episode also revisits cult favourites like First Blood, with Whitey passionately defending it as one of the great character-driven action films of the 1980s. There's love for Stallone's unbelievable double act of releasing both Rocky III and First Blood in the same year, proving just how dominant Sly was during the early 80s.Whitey also dives into why Rocky III remains one of the best Rocky films ever made, praising Mr T as one of the greatest movie villains of the decade and celebrating the pure charisma he brought to Clubber Lang despite having no acting experience.Australian cinema gets its flowers too, with a huge spotlight on Mad Max 2 and The Man from Snowy River. Whitey argues that both films stand proudly alongside any Hollywood blockbuster of the era and explains how Mad Max 2 became the blueprint for almost every post-apocalyptic movie that followed.There's also a deep appreciation for practical effects and filmmaking craftsmanship throughout the episode. Whitey passionately argues that The Thing still contains the greatest practical creature effects ever put to screen, while Blade Runner's vision of a futuristic Los Angeles remains one of the most influential science fiction worlds ever created.Along the way, there are classic Born to Watch tangents and stories, including:Whitey is getting in trouble in Year 4 after explaining an infamous scene from The World According to GarpChildhood memories of The Pirate Movie soundtrackThe bizarre success of Porky'sWhy does Tootsie make more money than Blade Runner feel completely wrongHow Grease 2 became one of the ugliest moments of 1982 cinemaWhitey also celebrates underrated classics like Firefox, Creepshow, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and 48 Hrs., while exploring how 1982 represented a time when studios were still willing to take massive creative risks on strange, ambitious and original films.This is one of the biggest movie deep dives Born to Watch has ever done, packed full of nostalgia, movie trivia, hilarious stories and genuine love for cinema.JOIN THE CONVERSATION Was 1982 the greatest movie year ever? What's the best film released in 1982? Blade Runner or The Thing? Rocky III or First Blood? Is Mad Max 2 the greatest Australian action film ever made?#1982Movies #MovieYearInReview #BornToWatch #BladeRunner #TheThing #RockyIII #FirstBlood #MadMax2 #ET #MoviePodcast

Ross Brodar joins The Film Situation for a wide-ranging conversation about filmmaking, New York stories, and the strange overlap between cinema and real life. Ross has worked as a locations manager on acclaimed films including ANORA, MARTY SUPREME, and projects with directors such as Sean Baker, James Gray, and Josh Safdie. In this episode, Ross breaks down the art and logistics of location scouting, transforming real-world environments into cinematic spaces, and collaborating with visionary directors and production designers. The conversation also dives deep into Ross's gripping documentary The Linchpin of Bensonhurst, which chronicles the unbelievable life of Dominic Montiglio, a Vietnam veteran, artist, singer, and former associate of the infamous DeMeo crew tied to the Gambino crime family. Ross shares how he met Dominic by chance, ended up living with him for years, and spent over a decade documenting his life story. Along the way, Zef and Ross discuss New York in the ‘80s and ‘90s, CBGB's, Roseland Ballroom, collecting money for Sicilian fish markets, and why some true stories are ultimately stranger than fiction. Ross also shares one of his favorite movie scenes of all time: the iconic “Tears in Rain” sequence from BLADE RUNNER.   Hosted by Zef Cota * Website for Ross' documentary: THE LYNCHPIN OF BENSONHURT: The Dominick Montiglio Story https://www.dominickmontiglio.org
