Experiencing an intense fear of failure at the tender age of eight defined Dr. Rebecca Heiss's career path.  That fearful experience prompted her to give up theatre as a career choice, and focus on science instead.   Rebecca had planned to enter a public speaking competition, but at the last minute failed to show up because she was so afraid.   “I started to understand how much fear, fear of failure, fear of rejection, starts to drive all of our decisions. And from that point on, I decided I didn't want to fail for the rest of my life. It was such a terrible, scary endeavor, that I was ‘All right, I am giving up theater. I don't want to do that anymore, because that's way too risky'.”  Theatre's loss is the world's gain. Rebecca has just published Instinct: Rewire Your Brain with Science-Backed Solutions to Increase Productivity and Achieve Success. And it's a book that could transform your future!  Rebecca is a biologist and stress expert, and dedicated to helping others become self-aware and overcome instinctual limitations—those ancient, often subconscious, fears that hold people back from optimal performance and their happiest lives.   A TEDx speaker, Rebecca's “fear(less)” message inspires hope and actionable insights to train our brains to work for us, rather than against us in times of uncertainty. Her research has been designated “transformative” by the National Science Foundation, and it's waking up audiences around the world. She also is founder and CEO of the 360-review mobile application, Icueity.  INSTINCT IS FOR ANYONE WHO HAS A BRAIN  Rebecca says Instinct is for anyone who has a brain, even though it applies strongly to entrepreneurs and those wanting to take risks and overcome some of the brain's feedback loops that stop people taking safe risks.  “In today's environment, my audience includes people looking for self-help, they're looking for stress reduction techniques.”  Some readers may “want to understand why they seek variety, why they're never happy where they are, why they want a new partner, a new job, a new, whatever. I think the book is for anyone who's looking to optimize their brain.”  TOO BROAD AN AUDIENCE, SAYS PUBLISHER  Rebecca's publisher said her description of her book's potential audience is “Way too broad.  “This is classic marketing, right? If you can find your niche audience, that's ideal. And I would love to say, ‘I've got a niche audience'. And that may be the case. But I'm so hesitant to nail that down and say, ‘Those people are the ones I'm targeting', because the reality is I want everyone to read it.”  GOING WITH A TRADITIONAL PUBLISHER  Rebecca says she considered self-publishing but decided to put out a call to literary agents. She contacted more than 50 agents and in a matter of hours one responded.   “I was able to work with her to develop an actual book proposal. I think I sent her five chapters of what I thought was going to be my book, which is not at all my book,” explains Rebecca.   “But, you know, once I started working with her, she really helped me, guided me through the process of what it means to publish a book in a traditional publication format. I'm a newbie, but it was a great experience for me to understand.”  Rebecca describes her writing process as a stop-start experience. She'd struggle, and then something would prompt her creativity, and she was suddenly inspired!  “There was a lot of rewriting, but the original concepts,the core is still pretty solid.”  BOUNCING IDEAS OFF SOMEONE WHEN YOU WRITE IS A GAME-CHANGER  Like almost every writer, there were times when Rebecca got stuck and couldn't write. However, an “an incredible editor” to whom she could send her work was a game changer for Rebecca.  Next—and her biggest tip for entrepreneur-authors—just walk away from the best ideas, the best things, and the best conclusions will come to you.   “Right in the middle of the night, or when I was first waking up, or I was sitting in the shower, or on vacation, and completely removed . . . it allows my brain to step away. I would take a deep breath, start processing those subconscious thoughts that are coming up. Hilariously, this is some of the stuff that I talked about in the . . . it's taking that step back and getting out of the weeds; this sometimes produces the result.”  LINKS Twitter Facebook Instagram.com LinkedIn YouTube.com RebeccaHeiss.com  SUBSCRIBE TO THE PUBLISHED AUTHOR PODCAST  If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.

Well kiss me silly and call me Stephen Harper! This week we've got Canadian comedy icon Mary Walsh on the pod! We talk about her time on This Hour Has 22 Minutes, making eye-contact with a pooping puppy, and her new show on CBC Gem, Broad Appeal. What an ep!

We finally left the house!! Last month, Broad Appeal went out into the wild for our first-ever LIVE event as part of Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Fest in East London. Now you too can pretend you were there. Name an actress who is indisputably iconic… does she have what it takes to enter the Broad Appeal Hall of Fame? Your candidates are: a) a neurotic New Yorker; b) a delicious Dame; c) a moving Mum; d) a Force of Nature; e) a prissy Princess ripe for rehabilitation. Seán and Brian convened an All-Star panel - Nat Luurtsema, Kemah Bob and Shon Faye - to nominate and advocate for the candidates, before the live audience determined the winner. This is, without question, the most satisfying election result of 2018!!! (With special shout-out to technical wizards Will Swinburne & Helen MacKenzie who engineered the show.) Happy New Year and we’ll be with you again during Oscar season. Xxxx Clips from the film presented according to fair use policy.

Welcome to Broad Appeal...after dark. Ahead of tonight's screening of THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE at the Cinema Museum, Seán and Brian engage in a diverse, insightful, and (let's face it) meandering conversation about gay Hollywood producer extraordinaire, Ross Hunter. While forgotten by history, this dippy queen's fingerprints are all over some of classic Hollywood’s biggest pictures, including ones that feature in both Brian’s and Seán’s feature personal canons.  From melodramas to musicals, Sirk to sex farce, Hunter sold audiences on his magnificent obsessions: artifice and not reality. Join us on this journey as we consume a full bottle of wine and wax poetic about a forgotten queer icon who possessed true Broad Appeal!! Clips from the film presented according to fair use policy.

The time has come... to snap out of it! The last in our 1987 Best Actress series is the timeless, charming and Oscar-winning MOONSTRUCK, starring Cher in her iconic role of lovelorn Brooklynite Loretta Castorini, who falls for the sweaty, agro charms of her fiancé's brother, played by a never-more-gorgeous Nicolas Cage. Cher was the ultimate winner that year and it's easy to see why: a genuinely multi-faceted role in a popular, much loved movie, with great dialogue by John Patrick Shanley and a stellar supporting cast featuring Danny Aiello, Vincent Gardienia, John Mahoney and (quite possibly the movie's MVP) Olympia Dukakis. It's a film that Seán has seen so many times he can recite it and we know Brian can't resist all that Italian stuff. But will the Broad Appeal boys cast their decisive votes for Cher? Listen and find out who our Oscar goes to...

Have we got news for you! And we promise it’s 100% guaranteed to please. Here, announced for the first time, is our lineup of all-star guests for Broad Appeal….. LIVE, coming to you on Sat 17th November at Hackney House in Shoreditch as part of Fringe! Queer Film & Art Fest. Tickets are FREE but there aren’t many of them so do be sure to book in advance at: www.fringefilmfest.com - SEE YOU THERE!

Glenn, Meryl, Holly, Sally, Cher. Name a more iconic quintet... We begin a mini-series charting the five nominated actresses of the 1987 Oscars, starting with a film that epitomised Reagan-era Fear of Sex, but so indelibly that phrases like “bunny-boiling” still permeate our speech. Glenn Close plays Alex Forrest, the hyper-sexualised and independent woman whose fling with married man Michael Douglas got hot, then very, very heavy. And more than 30 years later the Broad Appeal boys are split: For Brian, Glenn struggles spectacularly in an exploitative and sexist role. As for Seán, well he agrees with Brian...but in this finely crafted blockbuster thriller, he can't help but be manipulated by the conventions of monster-horror. What follows is a deadly discussion, and one of our most heated episodes to date!  This episode is not going to be IGNORED, dear listener. Clips from the film presented according to fair use policy.

[Again, it's time to say goodbye to the summer holidays. But, unlike Robert Kincaid, we won't leave you with just some old issues of National Geographic... Instead we'll be back with NEW CONTENT very very soon. In the meantime, our last vintage episode in which a sensual summer romance brings out the very best in marvelous Meryl Streep.] The time has come: 12 books. 12 films. All of them read (by Brian). We conclude our magnum opus with THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, the insufferable little book by Robert James Waller that became the sensitive work of bleeding-heart conservative Clint Eastwood. Meryl Streep is Francesca Johnson: The Italian war-bride who traded Bari for Iowa, and fiery Italian passion for steadfast, cornfed, mundanity. Then enter photographer Robert Kincaid (Eastwood) and four days that change her life forever. Like all true fans, here at Broad Appeal we have equal parts ire and admiration for the most overrated actress in the world. But there is just something about Meryl in THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY that even Pauline Kael would have praised her for. Could this be the film where Brian learned what love was, all those years ago in Quincy, Mass? Is it as he remembers? And will Seán be sucker-punched by the inescapability of melodramatic love? In a word, yes. To all our listeners: thanks for coming on this journey with us! We'll be back in the autumn for a new series with absolutely no required reading. Peace + Love, Brian & Seán.

[All too soon we'll be debating the merits of Tarantino's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, so why don't we return to our discussion of a movie that we can all agree is actually his best?] An air hostess, a gun runner, a bail bondsman, a sun kissed dope-bunny and his boyfriend Brian... but enough about our holiday! Elmore Leonard's RUM PUNCH was adapted by Quentin Tarantino into JACKIE BROWN: a grown-up, low down, sly and slick piece of filmmaking. Tarantino, auteur and fanboy supreme, made the canny alteration of turning a sultry, middle-aged, blonde white lady into Pam Grier, icon of blaxploitation and commanding leading lady. Tarantino's film is an exemplar of adaptation, both pulpy and slow-burning, tense and quotable. You might have guessed we both enjoyed it. How did Seán feel about the new concept of reading on the beach? What is Brian's dramaturgical analysis? Needless to say it all breaks down into the most Broad Appeal conversation ever: A debate over Jodie Foster's Oscar dress. Please return your tray tables to their upright positions: here comes Jackie Brown. Clips from the film presented according to fair use policy.

You know when the Academy gets it (horribly) wrong? Well, sorry Ms. Jackson, but this is one of those times. A TOUCH OF CLASS was one of the films that inspired Broad Appeal; we tuned in for a scathing 70’s satire of feminism and sexual mores starring one of our favorite actresses. Only to learn that the film is more like a juvenile TV sitcom that got to play its cancelled series out in one extended episode. Glenda plays Vicky Alessio, a rag trade divorcée who gets involved with brash American dirty dawg George Segal (and who never seems concerned about her children's whereabouts). A searing sex comedy this is not. A messed up, kinda funny, outdated, ridiculous mess it certainly is. And don't just take out word for it, take a look at the faces of Ellen Burstyn, Joanne Woodward and Marsha Mason when Glenda nabs it. Clips from the film presented according to fair use policy.

Here at Broad Appeal we have the perfect gift for you: A foaming-at-the-mouth screed about one of the most repugnant little films masquerading as entertainment! Were it not for Emma Thompson, who brings an emotional weight to an entirely undeserving film, LOVE ACTUALLY would be consigned to the dust-bin of history. Also in that bin is every skeezy boss who ever creeped on his staff, political figures who think they can get away with anything, lad culture, and all “awkward” weirdos who just don't know how to talk to women. If you saw this film in 2003 and thought nothing of it, you'll be WOKEn up by the end of this episode. Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant, Andrew Lincoln, Bill Nighy et al – they're all here and they're all COMPLICIT! But Emma: As if we needed any reminder that E.T. is not only a consummate professional, with pools of artistic and emotional depth, but can also utilise the flat role of a taken-for-granted wife to craft a polemic on marriage, relationships, forgiveness and family, while never raising her voice. Richard Curtis and all cis-gendered males have a lot to answer for, but Emma makes this unfunny mess almost relatable. Proof, once again, that she is legendary. Part 2 of 3

Here at Broad Appeal we try and avoid all honorific titles and that includes “national treasure”. But as it turns out, Judi Dench has earned these platitudes: regal imperiousness is her USP! To say her range is limited to the odd monarch or head of MI6, however, is to do her a disservice. PHILOMENA may look like the perfect film to watch with your aunt, but like The Dench herself, it's far more than that. Judi D. plays the titular Phil, an Irish woman who for years kept a secret close to her heart: doing penance to unforgiving nuns for birthing an unwed child (and for the sin of enjoying the sex that conceived him!). She lived her whole adult life with her boy taken from her. Now she's teamed up with the cynical journo Martin Sixsmith (Steve Coogan), whose level of smugness is perfectly matched with Philomena's polite way of managing B.S. But a wacky buddy-comedy this is not: PHILOMENA is a funny, heartfelt, emotional story handled with superb tact by Stephen Frears, and completely owned by Judi, melting hearts and filling every silence with maternal grace and faithful purity. Any film that deals with gayness, transatlantic identities, Catholicism and old ladies can definitely get Seán and Brian talking. And talk we did.

Wife, Maid or Martha? From the (in)fertile imagination of Margaret Atwood, THE HANDMAID'S TALE imagines a dystopian world in which women's rights have been written off the books, reproduction is under state control, and the patriarchy reigns supreme (in other words... America in 2017!) Having swooned and shivered over the novel, the Broad Appeal boys turn to the ill-regarded 1990 film. Ever frantic Faye Dunaway longs so badly to be a "Mommie Dearest" that she conscripts Natasha Richardson's ovaries to do the heavy birthing. Meanwhile, Seán longs to wear Colleen Atwood's frumpy-chic costumes while Brian longs to be delivered from the flat dramaturgy. Join us as we spill our seed all along the road to Gilead!!

Papa can you queer me? Brian and Seán take a Guilt Trip together, all the way to the shtetls of Eastern Europe and finally watch what they've been building up to all along. The time has come: Broad Appeal does YENTL. With a running-time much longer than it takes to read the Isaac Bashevis Singer story upon which it's based, this cross-dressing musical about a young woman who longs to study Talmud was Barbra Strei-ssssand's directorial debut. Is it a masterclass in egomania or all-too rare glimpse of the feminist gaze onscreen? Maybe a bit of both! Female directors, Jewish customs, Barbra's vocal talent and lengthy disputations about just what makes Mandy Patinkin so G-d damn sexy! If any auteur can command equal amounts of respect and eye rolling, it's (simply) Barbra. Clips from the film presented according to fair use policy.

Five Moms and a First Lady. A computer programmer and a video game producer. An aspiring actress and a syphilitic singer. ....These are your 2016 Oscar-nominated female roles!! In their now-annual tradition, Seán and Brian will peruse, parse and prognosticate on the only two categories at this year's Academy Awards that actually matter: Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. (And we'll give some nods to the egregiously overlooked as well.) It may be Oscar Week, but here on Broad Appeal it's Ladies' Day!

We don't know about you, but at Broad Appeal we think that if you don't recycle, you deserve to die. And what a shame that this is the one murder that the brilliantly villainous Kathleen Turner doesn't get to commit in SERIAL MOM (1994)! Turner stars as wife, mother, and murderess, Beverly Sutphin, whose love of Barry Manilow is matched only by her lust for blood and common courtesy! Honestly, what kind of monsters don't rewind their VHS tapes? Is Beverly an Avenging Angel, or Ted Bundy's suburban concubine? Brian has managed to live his whole life without being exposed to the filth of John Waters, while his brand of self-aware-trash was what a young Seán lived on. Will they get a kick out of this highly quotable, tongue-in-cheek camp satire...? All clips from the film presented according to fair use policy.

Two of our Broad Appeal favourites, Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder, team up in outer space for Alien:Resurrection (1997), a sci-fi with a French twist, thanks to director Jean-Pierre Jeunet Reunited with the beloved xenomorph and forced to battle them in the next life, Sigourney Weaver slithers into character as the resurrected Ellen Ripley in a decidedly weird performance. Winona Ryder... does the best she can. Seán, with his bizarrely extensive knowledge of the Alien universe hopes to sweetly plant a chestburster next to Brian's heart to warm him to the franchise. But with the inevitable blood and gore, it may take a bit more convincing for Brian, who's skin is crawling at the prospect. All clips from the film presented according to fair use policy.
