It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a movie with the weight of the future of the entire DCU and Warner Bros. filmography on its back! No small task... It's "Superman!" Directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult. Perhaps no film this year HAS to be as great as this one needs to be. Can it possibly live up to the challenge? No. No it can't. We're sorry to say. But let's at least talk about it. Spoilers begin at roughly the 7:00 mark, and some small spoilers may be contained in the text below. 00:00 - Intro / We're very important people AKA Amazon Prime subscribers 01:42 - What Keith thought 03:46 - What Ev thought 05:23 - This film fails to meet the massive expectations it kinda needed to meet 07:12 - "This movie is like a sequel to a movie that was never released" AKA you need to have at least something of a pre-existing relationship with this IP going in 09:08 - This film is too crowded with too many characters and too many conflicts 13:42 - The character development that is here is good, but there's not enough of it, particularly for Lois Lane 16:40 - Is this movie solely for diehard Superman fans? And if so... why? 19:53 - The kitschy tone of everything 24:10 - The Snyderverse wasn't exactly great but at least there were stakes 26:38 - Thank God that CGI dog was around to save the day every single time AKA will our hero ever win on his own? 31:17 - The film is very well cast with solid performances - Keith loves Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Ev loves David Corenswet as Clark Kent 34:37 - Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific is the best part 36:40 - Why do women love Jimmy Olsen so much and why is that so key to the plot of this film? 42:03 - Lois Lane flying the spaceship is stupid 44:56 - James Gunn knows better and has made better films before...

President Donald Trump announced a new wave of weapons for Ukraine and set a 50-day deadline for Russia to agree to a peace deal or face harsh secondary sanctions aimed at countries still buying Russian oil. The move marks a sharp turn from his earlier attempts at rapprochement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, raising questions about whether this ultimatum could bring an end to the war or risk escalating it further. So what does this 50-day ultimatum really mean for the future of the war? Could it push Russia toward negotiations or risk provoking even greater escalation? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Markus Wagner, Professor of Law, University of Wollongong, to find out more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US-Präsident Trump kündigt 30 Prozent auf alles an, was an Waren aus der EU in die USA geht. Und das zum 1. August. Die EU arbeitet jetzt weiter an möglichen Gegenmaßnahmen - will aber auch weiter an einer Einigung arbeiten. Blufft Trump diesmal wirklich nur? Und wie lange kann das so weitergehen, auch mit Blick auf die US-Wirtschaft, die zwar im Moment noch ganz gut dasteht – aber Spuren wird das Zollchaos auf jeden Fall hinterlassen. Das klären Markus Plettendorff und Melanie Böff.

Here at D&SD Over the Summer on Wednesdays we will be releasing some of our cool side campaign episodes! This series is called “The Playa Rose” is a western campaign DM'd by our Very own Andrew Kornblatt. Welcome to Liberty Bluff, a small frontier town where the plains meet the desert at the edge of Deadwind Gorge. Our unlikely heroes find themselves in this hub on the great trade road, where folks come seeking freedom, fortune, or a fresh start. The air tastes of industry and something fouler - the town's lifeblood flows from the booming arcanite mine to the north, producing rare gems, coal, and the mysterious mineral that powers their world. But all ain't well in Liberty Bluff. Drought withers the farms, strange tales drift in from the western deserts of mutated creatures and bizarre plagues, and bandits prey on the trade routes. Soldiers from a northern fort bustle about, building fortifications as if preparing for siege. In this powder keg of a frontier town, four strangers are about to find their fates intertwined.

No more extensions — that’s Trump’s latest ultimatum on tariffs. With just weeks to go until August 1, countries that haven’t made a deal face steep penalties. But the extension, paired with Trump signaling that he was still negotiating additional deals, has fueled speculation among some in Washington and on Wall Street that the president would not follow through on his latest tariff threats. Is this tough talk real power or political posturing? Will Trump stand firm or change course again? And how are nations reacting to this high-stakes deadline? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Kevin Chen, Associate Research Fellow with the US Programme at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, for a deeper analysis.

Markets are hitting fresh highs, but is this a true breakout or just a tariff-fueled head fake? Joining us from the floor of the CBOE, Scott Bauer breaks down what's driving the rally- and whether it's built to last.
Sean Sidney is known for his original negotiation concepts like "logic levers," the "persuasion sandwich," and "Bluff-4," and has trained more than 8,000 professionals to secure better deals and deliver real business value. I'm talking to Sean this week all about how procurement pros gain leverage in even the most high-stakes deals. Sean generously shares his favorite tactics, including how to use threats respectfully, the power of emotional acceptance, and the strategic application of logic levers. Whether you're in sales or procurement, Sean's actionable, relatable insights will help you navigate challenging negotiations, avoid common pitfalls, and forge better business relationships. Plus, you'll hear real-world stories from Sean's own career, practical tips to recognize and counter aggressive negotiation moves, and the essential dos and don'ts that every negotiator should live by. Outline of This Episode [05:52] Emphasize emotion in persuasion: connect emotionally, be respectful, wrap emotional appeal around threats, and use logic to justify decisions. [07:11] Strategize to unsettle competitors and align sales for the best deal. [12:25] Focus on win-win negotiations by trading asymmetric variables to maximize value. [14:15] Collaborative negotiation involves sitting side by side to achieve mutual success. [18:54] Appreciate negotiating tips; emphasize quid pro quo strategy. [23:14] Understanding stakeholders' drivers and using backdoor selling effectively can influence decisions. Mastering Negotiation in Sales and Procurement At the foundation of effective negotiation lies a clear understanding of the difference between strategy and tactics. Sean Sidney succinctly explains: Strategy is the overarching plan designed to achieve a specific objective. Tactics are the specific actions or maneuvers employed to implement that strategy. For instance, a buyer's objective might be to reduce costs. The strategy could range from developing new suppliers to collaborating for value creation. Tactics are then the moves—such as employing “logic levers” or persuasive messaging—that bring the chosen strategy to life. The Power of Gaining Leverage Sean's go-to negotiation strategy, especially in high-stakes procurement deals, is to gain leverage. Leverage puts pressure on the other party to make concessions without having to give away value early. While it can seem aggressive, Sean emphasizes that this approach can be effective in both win-win and win-lose scenarios, provided you use the right tactics and maintain respect for the relationship. However, leverage isn't about domination. Leverage, when used with progressive and collaborative tactics, creates the opportunity for both parties to get their share of the “pie”—even when that pie grows through collaboration. The Persuasion Sandwich So, how do you gain and apply leverage without damaging long-term relationships? Sean introduces three core negotiation tactics, ultimately wrapped into what he calls the Persuasion Sandwich: Action Consequences (The “Threat”): This is where you clearly articulate the consequences of non-action, e.g., “We can't supply you unless the price increases.” While the term “threat” might sound harsh, it's simply drawing clear boundaries. Emotional Acceptance: To prevent escalation or defensiveness, frame tough messages with empathy and respect. “I'd love to work with you, but due to our costs, we can't lower our price further.” It's about being hard on the issue, soft on the person. Logic Levers: Make your position believable and credible. Use logic by highlighting your worth as a partner, creating a sense of competition with others, or subtly shifting value focuses to place the other party off balance. These levers (us, others, them) make your persuasive message more convincing. By blending these elements, the persuasion sandwich becomes a sophisticated yet non-confrontational way to negotiate assertively without alienating your counterpart. Harnessing Preparation and Recognizing Tactics One of Sean's golden rules is that preparation is everything. He advocates spending 80% of your effort preparing—analyzing your own and your counterpart's position, planning your moves, and developing tradeable concessions. Even the most skilled negotiators wish they had prepared more. Understanding and countering aggressive tactics—like strong anchoring, “take it or leave it” offers, or last-minute demands comes down to anticipation and response. Recognize the move, re-anchor with confidence and logic, or be ready with a tradeable variable to maintain balance. Sean distinguishes between two classic strategies: Win-Lose (transactional, competitive, price-focused) Win-Win (collaborative, value-focused, deals with asymmetric variables that provide differing value to each side) While not every negotiation will veer toward true collaboration, building trust, focusing on shared objectives, and sometimes even shifting your “seating” position from face-to-face (competitive) to side-by-side (collaborative problem-solving) can move negotiations along the spectrum toward a win-win outcome. Putting It All Together Sean also shares a memorable story from his first week in a procurement role. By aligning internally with stakeholders and skillfully bluffing the supplier (using the persuasion sandwich), he secured a €200,000 saving, timely delivery, and stakeholder buy-in for future projects. Sean's advice is to prepare meticulously, wield tactics thoughtfully, always trade and never move for free, and build genuine rapport. Whether you're in sales or procurement, mastering both strategy and tactics, and knowing when to use each, will set you apart as a true negotiation hero. Remember, the best negotiators seek to win, but they also strive to grow the pie for everyone at the table.

At 96 years old, Jimmy Pattison still runs his $16 billion empire personally. He's built it over 63 years without outside capital or a college degree. He owns 100% of car dealerships, billboards, radio stations—even Ripley's Believe It or Not—with a philosophy of: "No partners, no shareholders, no relatives." This episode reveals the principles behind one of North America's great private empires: how to build and compound a reputation, why the best deals happen in silence, and what a Japanese bicycle taught him about operational excellence. You'll learn the hidden advantage of selling “souvenir editions” instead of newspapers, how he turned a ghost radio station into a ratings leader overnight, and why he once fired the entire bottom 10% of his staff—then took them out for steak. Most people play for approval. Pattison plays for permanence through reputation, relentless clarity, and never mistaking flash for fundamentals.
