Julian, Madeline, and Emilio welcome back writer, performer, and Julian's longtime friend Michaela Brady to discuss the iconic meditation on the creative process that is "Adaptation" (2002), written by Charlie Kaufman, directed by Spike Jonze, and starring Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, and Chris Cooper in an Oscar-winning role. As the "View-nanimous" entry in a new episode cycle focusing on Twins and Doppelgangers in film, the group members all re-watch this exceptionally meta movie to discuss its relationship to reality, both in the literary process and its specific characters, as well as how its fusion of sincerity and irony produces an inimitable outcome, and how having a dual performance at the center actualizes the film's messages. And while the main four participants generally praise "Adaptation," they also consider a hot take from friend of the pod Idris Goodwin, for whom the distinct qualities of this film landed a little differently compared to many others. Follow Michaela Brady on IG @leatrice_write or @jillnjeff11, and check out her writing and blog at leatrice-author.com.Follow Idris Goodwin on IG at idrisgoodwin, and learn more about his latest book "King of the Neuro Verse" as well as his plays, music, published works, and varied artistic endeavors at http://www.idrisgoodwin.com/If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

Chosen by Dave, A Shot at Glory is a Scottish football drama directed by Michael Corrente and written by Denis O'Neill, bringing together a surprisingly heavyweight cast for a film about lower-league football, club loyalty, and men shouting at each other in tracksuits. Robert Duvall stars as Gordon McLeod and also served as a producer, with Michael Keaton, Ally McCoist, Brian Cox, Cole Hauser, Kirsty Mitchell, and Morag Hood rounding out a cast that feels like someone put Hollywood, Scottish football, and a pub argument into the same blender. The film was produced around 1999/2000 and received a limited US theatrical release in May 2002, followed by a DVD release later that year.Filming took place across Scotland, with football scenes using real grounds including Boghead Park, Palmerston Park, Rugby Park, and Hampden Park, while much of the fictional town of Kilnockie was shot in Crail, Fife. The movie also has a proper Scottish football texture thanks to appearances from real players and football figures, while the soundtrack was composed by Mark Knopfler, giving the whole thing a Celtic-tinged musical polish rather than just the sound of 8,000 people shouting “man on.” Critics were mixed, the box office was modest, but over time it has become a bit of a cult curiosity for football fans, especially anyone who enjoys seeing Ally McCoist sharing screen space with Robert Duvall and Michael Keaton.Trailer Guy SynopsisIn a small Scottish town, where the rain falls sideways and football is less a sport than a legally recognised emotional condition, one struggling club faces the fight of its life.Kilnockie FC has history, pride, and a fanbase clinging to hope like it's the last pie at half-time. But when an American owner threatens to rip the club from its roots, only one thing can save them: victory, belief, and a team held together by grit, grudges, and questionable decision-making.Fun factsThe film's working title was reportedly The Cup, which is accurate, but does sound like a placeholder left on someone's laptop until five minutes before the poster was printed.Ally McCoist plays Jackie McQuillan, a fictional footballer, despite McCoist himself being one of Scottish football's most recognisable real-life strikers.Brian Cox appears as Martin Smith, the Rangers manager, years before a whole new generation would know him as Logan Roy in Succession.Cole Hauser, later famous as Rip Wheeler in Yellowstone, plays Kelsey O'Brian, a backup goalkeeper, despite reports noting he had no real football background.Several real footballers appear in the movie, including Owen Coyle, Andy Smith, Peter Hetherston, and Didier Agathe.Robert Duvall reportedly spent time observing Raith Rovers to help shape his performance as a Scottish football manager.The fictional Kilnockie FC was loosely inspired by the kind of improbable cup exploits associated with smaller Scottish clubs, including Airdrieonians' runs in the 1990s.Mark Knopfler's soundtrack album contains 11 tracks and was released in 2002, with Guy Fletcher also involved as producer.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Brian Cox on Directing Glenrothan, Trusting Your Collaborators, and the Magic of the Edit Filmmakers, you are in for an absolute treat today. We are joined by a true titan of the industry, the legendary Brian Cox. After decades of delivering iconic performances on stage and screen, Brian sits down with us to discuss stepping behind the camera for his highly anticipated feature directorial debut, Glenrothan. Fresh off a phenomenal premiere at TIFF (complete with a massive standing ovation!), Brian breaks down his deeply egalitarian approach to filmmaking. He shares the brilliant story of how his producer, Neil Zegler, flat-out told him he was the only person who could direct this movie, and how he leaned heavily on his DP to bring the vision to life. We dive into the nitty-gritty of the craft: why Brian prioritizes script, story, and actors over rigid shot lists and storyboards, the delicate art of directing yourself and "staying out of your own way," and how assembling a powerhouse cast—including Alan Cumming, Shirley Henderson, and brilliant young talent—elevated the entire production. Plus, he shares some invaluable lessons from the cutting room, including why they had to switch editors and dramatically restructure a crucial waterfall scene. Topic of the Week: Make sure you stick around for the outro, where we break down Brian's philosophy in our Topic of the Week: The Egalitarian Set: Why the Best Directors Don't Micro-Manage. We discuss why letting go of control and trusting your Heads of Department is actually an indie director's greatest superpower. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: The Push to Direct: How producer Neil convinced Brian he had to take the helm of Glenrothan. The TIFF Premiere: The emotional experience of screening the film and receiving a standing ovation. The Egalitarian Set: Why Brian threw out rigid storyboards to focus entirely on the script, the story, and the actors. Directing Yourself: The secret to acting in your own movie and learning how to "stay out of your own way." Casting Magic: Working with heavy hitters like Alan Cumming and Shirley Henderson alongside rising young stars. The Realities of the Edit: Navigating post-production hurdles, switching editors, and the brilliant decision to move a crucial waterfall scene to later in the film. Brian's Ultimate Advice: Why a director's greatest superpower is trusting their department heads and valuing everyone's creative contribution.

With Chris Hewitt away on an actual holiday, this week's Empire Podcast sees Helen O'Hara slide into the host's chair as she, Ben Travis, and Amon Warmann tackle a hat-trick of listener questions, including musing on male damsels in distress, movies-turned-plays, and the ongoing role of Bluey in saving the world. Then the trio tackle movie news, most of which comes out of this week's CinemaCon, including the revelation that Jamie Dornan, and not Leo Woodall, will be filling Aragorn's boots in The Lord Of The Rings: The Hunt For Gollum. Finally, they review not one but SIX movies, including Lee Cronin's The Mummy, Jonah Hill's Outcome, and Brian Cox's directorial debut, Glenrothan. Speaking of Cox, the legendary Scottish actor pops into the podbooth to have a delightful, and delightfully foul-mouthed, chat with Chris about popping behind the camera at almost 80 years of age, singing Spice Girls with Alan Cumming, and his complicated relationship with Scotland. Oh, and if there are any glaring editing errors on this week's show, it was edited on a cruise ship, so please bear that in mind. Oh, and due to the absence of several key members of personnel, our next Daredevil: Born Again spoiler special will be next week. Sorry about that. In the meantime, enjoy!

On this week's Take, Mark and Simon are back with more box fresh film reviews of the latest big screen releases. And we are still reviewing three brand new films out this week, even though it's Easter holibobs and the show is pre-recorded—because the Good Doctors are actual time travellers now, ICYMI. First up, they head to the Highlands for Glenrothan, Brian Cox's whisky-soaked directorial debut family drama—does it live up to its lofty ambitions, or get lost in the Scottish mist? Then it's Rebuilding, a quietly affecting portrait of second chances and fragile hope starring Josh O'Connor as a cowboy without a ranch. And finally, Wizard of the Kremlin—where Vladamir Putin is played by… Jude Law?! Plus Mark talks to ‘The Pope of Trash' John Waters, director of cult classics like Pink Flamingoes and Multiple Maniacs, and high priest of bad taste. He's celebrating the BFI's Trash season. Expect a gleeful and provocative conversation on the art of trash cinema, the pleasures of the disreputable, and why good bad films might just be the most honest kind of all.

One of the most common homeschool fears is the moment your child starts learning something you do not fully understand. What happens when math gets advanced, science becomes technical, or essays require deeper analysis than you feel prepared to evaluate? In this episode, we talk about how homeschooling shifts as subjects get harder and how parents can teach and assess confidently even when they are no longer the expert in the room. The goal is not to know everything, but to know how to guide learning well.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the media is pushing certain individuals as "MAGA influencers" who are troubled by President Trump and the Iranian war effort, despite polls showing 92% MAGA support. The left-wing, pro-Democrat, anti-Trump media amplifies these miscreants because they are stabbing Trump in the back and besmirching him. The media ignores overwhelming MAGA support and cobbles together this narrative using unknowns to undermine Trump, while countless genuine backers with real influence are omitted. In breaking news, Trump announces that he has agreed to suspend the bombing and attack on Iran for two weeks. Iran responded and accepted the proposal and agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz via coordination with Iranian armed forces. But this 2-week ceasefire has already been violated by Iran. Missiles are being fired into Israel and perhaps other countries in the region. Are they able to defend themselves? We have the right man as president, and he's probably furious about this. But this will be the question throughout -- that is, do we expect the Iranian regime to honor a deal, how will we monitor it, and how will we enforce it. These will all be very difficult issues to resolve. Later, Dr. Brian Cox, a retired US Army military lawyer and Cornell Law adjunct, calls in and directly rebuts claims that the Israel-US strikes on Iran are illegal war crimes. A war crime requires the intent to intentionally direct an attack against a civilian person (not taking direct part in hostilities) or a civilian object. Most public evaluations wrongly overlook this need for clear evidence of intent by the attacker. For example, a recent attack on Iran's B1 bridge was widely called a war crime, but it does not qualify because the bridge served a dual purpose with military utility, making it a legitimate military objective rather than a purely civilian target.

Will it be on June 13? Are the people already camping out at a particular Rhode Island resort? Will we even SEE any photos, or will they do a Tom-and-Zendaya? Yes, the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce wedding frenzy is building and Clare Stephens is sifting through the data to decide whether anyone, at all, knows what they’re talking about. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is back to saying things that make us want to hide under our beds, but Amelia Lester’s found the perfect antidote to the chaos: 'Competency porn'. Whether it's the awe-inducing precision of the Artemis II astronauts or a nurse who is really, really good at their job, there is nothing more comforting right now than watching someone be genuinely competent at what they do. We’re asking: When the world feels like a dumpster fire, is watching collective brilliance the way to stay sane? Also, Succession star Brian Cox spent his weekend unloading some very unfiltered (and very unflattering) opinions on everyone from Margot Robbie to Johnny Depp. Holly Wainwright noticed that while Brian is being celebrated for his 'tell-it-like-it-is' attitude, women just… don’t do it. In other business, we're diving into the 'chicken ick'. That sudden, soul-crushing moment where you can no longer look at a poultry breast without gagging. And finally, Savannah Guthrie, an unimaginable loss and the quiet bravery of going back to work.

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show is what happens when a funny podcast tries to stay on topic and immediately fails in the most entertaining way possible.We kick things off with one of the coolest human achievements ever—NASA's Artemis II crew traveling farther than anyone in history and giving us a real-life “dark side of the moon” moment that sounds like it belongs on a Pink Floyd album cover. It's emotional, it's historic… and naturally, we ruin the moment within minutes because that's what we do.From there, we launch directly into chaos. Howard Stern's household is apparently being described as a workplace nightmare involving a massive cat rescue operation—which raises the important question: how many cats is too many cats? (Spoiler: probably fewer than 900.)Then it's a full sprint through celebrity madness: Offset gets shot but survives, Brian Cox decides he's done being polite and starts verbally swinging at everyone in Hollywood, and a documentary lineup reminds us that Hulk Hogan somehow still has layers we haven't unpacked.We also get into music nostalgia with Crosby, Stills & Nash (and whether you can actually work out to it without your knees giving up), a $13,000 Pink Floyd vinyl that makes everyone question their life choices, and the rise of an AI-generated country singer who is somehow more productive than most humans.Somewhere in the middle of all this, we question the future of entertainment, the relevance of late-night TV, and whether podcasts are now the only way anyone becomes famous anymore—which is great news for us and terrible news for everyone else.It's a funny podcast episode packed with space, celebrity chaos, weird news, and just enough sarcasm to keep things grounded… barely.If you like your daily comedy show unpredictable, slightly unhinged, and full of “did they really just say that?” moments—welcome home.

The Big Dumb Podcast S1E12 'Meryl, Dexter, and the Math Class Kush' -This week on The Big Dumb Podcast, we're breaking down the latest streaming explosions, from Meryl Streep joining Netflix's The Corrections to Brian Cox haunting the world of Dexter. But the real drama is in the classroom, where an honors math teacher in North Carolina got busted for allegedly turning her syllabus into a sales sheet—complete with a pink Taser. We also get weird with the stomach-turning reality of baby koalas, roast a $650 steakhouse bill from Travis Kelce's new spot, and check in on NASA's $30 million toilet that's finally "ready for donation." It's the perfect mix of high-brow Hollywood and low-brow local chaos.
I'm away this week, so we're going back into the archives as part of the same mission—to question what we're told, explore what really matters and move toward something more meaningful.

Most people don't fail because they lack effort. They fail because they follow rules and advice that were never designed for their real life. In this episode of the Secret to Success Podcast, the conversation challenges one of the most common traps in personal growth: living by general advice instead of personal strategy. This episode breaks down why: What works for others often fails for you Generic advice ignores context, timing, and personal tendencies High performers don't just work hard — they study patterns Rules, stats, and analytics are useful… but dangerous when followed blindly Real growth requires a personal “scouting report” for your life, marriage, money, and leadership Through stories from sports, business, relationships, and real life, this episode shows why winners don't just follow instructions — they observe, adjust, and execute based on their specific situation. If you've been doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do differently.
