Legendary sports agent on bettering brain health - Jane's special guest is Leigh Steinberg, the greatest and most successful  sports agent of all time, representing star athletes and coaches in football, basketball, baseball, hockey, boxing, and golf, including the number one overall pick in the NFL draft for an unprecedented eight times.  He is also an entrepreneur, best-selling author, and founder of the Leigh Steinberg Foundation. Furthermore, Leigh was the real-life inspiration for the Oscar-winning film Jerry Maguire, his character being played by none other than Tom Cruise. And he recounts how he schooled Cameron Crowe, its creator and director, on the ins-and-outs of the sports agent world. But for Leigh, it's not only about showing him the money. He is also known as the Agent of Heart, as he was responsible for more than $750 million being given to various charities around the world. To continue on that path, he just founded the Leigh Steinberg Foundation to educate parents and fund research for advancing the understanding, prevention and treatment of concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and other brain health challenges. On this segment, Jane and Leigh discuss his foundation, as well as what listeners can learn from his ultra-successful, multimillion dollar negotiation strategies to help navigate the inevitable conflicts, large and small, in our personal lives, on our journey to becoming Better Than Before.

It's all happening. Tim and Andrew drop the needle for 25 minutes on Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous. They even take a moment to list their favorite albums from 1973. Listen to this podcast with a candle burning and you will see your future.

 In 1983, Cameron Crowe — still early in his career — picked up a camera and quietly captured something incredible. The result? A grainy, gutsy, joy-fueled snapshot of a band still hungry, and still trying to figuring it all out.

“Show me the money!” Eso aprendimos a gritar en 1996 cuando salimos de ver esta película. Protagonizada por Tom Cruise, Renee Zellweger y Cuba Gooding Jr y dirigida por Cameron Crowe. Esta semana en Nakatomi: Jerry Maguire

Description: In the summer of 2020, as Jen was beginning to process the loss of her 26-year marriage, there was one person walking her own similar but different journey, and understood many of the feelings of anger, grief, shame, and loss that Jen was just beginning to feel. Someone who knew how that disappointment felt. Jessica N. Tuner, founder of the popular lifestyle blog The Mom Creative, was a few months ahead of Jen in processing the loss of her 16-year marriage to her husband and father of her three children. Today, Jessica shared with Jen and Amy what the road to recovery has looked like for her, including grieving the end of the life she thought she would have forever, the change of her identity, navigating  the messy false-starts, and clawing her way back from what felt like “the floor of hell”. Jessica compiled those hard-fought lessons into a book she's hoping will be a manifesto of hope to others, called I Thought It Would Be Better Than This: Rise From Disappointment, Regain Control, and Rebuild a Life You Love. *** Thought-provoking Quotes: Nothing about what I thought my life was going to be, is my life now. Now I feel like I walk around in the world and I feel grief and loss and disappointment and dismay from everybody. It's amazing how my eyes have opened. It was a big awakening to the loss people are living with everyday.–Jessica N. Turner When we made the decision to divorce, I felt like I was sitting on the floor of hell, everything was dust, everything was different.–Jessica N. Turner No matter how devastating the loss, the life you can still rebuild is astonishing. – Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Say Anything film (1989) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098258/ Sixteen Candles film (1984) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088128/ Cameron Crowe - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001081/ John Hughes - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000455/ James Spader - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000652/ Some Kind of Wonderful film (1987) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094006/ I Go Crazy by Flesh for Lulu - https://open.spotify.com/track/2o1AevEuv39qZAVy6k2pmn The Breakfast Club film (1985) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088847/ Weird Science film (1985) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090305 Ferris Bueller's Day Off film (1986) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091042/ Planes, Trains and Automobiles film (1987) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093748/ Uncle Buck film (1989) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098554 Pretty in Pink film (1986) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091790 Beethoven film (1992) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103786 I Thought It Would Be Better Than This: Rise From Disappointment, Regain Control, and Rebuild a Life You Love by Jessica Turner - https://amzn.to/40yC1fF Outlander - https://www.starz.com/us/en/series/outlander/21796 Onsite - https://experienceonsite.com/ ONSITE COURSE [BOOK ORDER BONUS]: What now?

Episode 124  Like many visual effects artists of a certain vintage, Jeff Okun didn't plan on a career in VFX. In fact, by his own account, he didn't even plan to work in film at all. "I'm a completely accidental human being," he told me with a chuckle. His ambitions began on a very different stage — as a stand-up comic — until a sharply atheistic routine delivered at home earned him a lifetime ban from performing in front of his parents. Instead, Okun's creative outlet took the form of magic tricks, homemade stunts, and Super 8 visual gags. “I would blow up model ships and fake fights in rush hour traffic,” he said, “and I'd be in the bushes filming with ketchup for blood.” All of this childhood chicanery ultimately gave way to a fascination with the trickery of movies — the kind of illusions you could only pull off with careful camera work, sleight-of-hand editing, and an appetite for mischief. Learning the Craft the Hard Way Okun's first job in film was with the legendary graphic designer and filmmaker Saul Bass. The experience was, in Okun's words, “awful,” but also profoundly formative. As Bass's gopher-turned-editor, Okun was thrown into the deep end. “I hated him,” he laughed. “But he taught me everything: editing, sound, post-production supervision, how to shoot, how to frame. It was a masterclass.” Working for Bass meant operating in a visually precise, effects-heavy style — layering camera moves, creating in-camera effects, and often relying on labor-intensive optical printing processes. When optical houses turned down Bass's business — too exacting, too expensive — Okun stepped in with cost-saving workarounds and pricing schemes that actually worked. “We doubled the budget, added a contingency, and somehow still landed exactly on target.”“By the end of it, I ended up loving the man,” Okun said. “Not because he gave me a break, but because he was so specific and difficult to please that when you did please him, it meant something. He learned how to prep lineup sheets, how to composite with interpositives, and how to break down 140-layer optical shots into manageable components. “I was just the fix-it guy. I didn't know what I was doing half the time. I still don't.” VFX by Way of Accident It wasn't long before optical houses and producers began calling on Okun when their films were in trouble. One fix led to another. His reputation grew as someone who could step into a crisis and calmly solve it — usually with a combination of ingenuity, humour, and brute-force trial and error. “I think Saul trained me to see puzzles. That's what it comes down to — seeing what's broken and putting it together in a way that works. Most of the time, it wasn't about having the right answer. It was about trying 50 wrong ones.” This kind of lateral thinking came into its own on films like Stargate (1994), where Okun — working with Jeff Kleiser and Diana Walczak's fledgling CG company — had to convince director Roland Emmerich that computer graphics were even worth attempting. “Roland didn't believe in CG. So we built the shot, made the CG glider deliberately less detailed to match the miniature footage. Showed it to him. He said, ‘Exactly — that's what I'm talking about. Miniatures are the way to go.' And we said, ‘Nope. All CG.' That's when he finally came around.” (Fun fact, VFX supervisor Jeff Okun was paid homage by Brent Spiner in Independence Day in the role of Dr. Brackish Okun. There's uh, a slight resemblance.) - Credit to Nofilmschool.comPenguins, Moose, and the Invisible Effect Okun is quick to point out he wasn't a Star Wars kid. In fact, he avoided the original film for weeks on principle — he doesn't do queues. But he did get a behind-the-scenes tour of ILM's original Van Nuys facility courtesy of Bass and George Lucas. There, he saw motion control rigs, Richard Edlund on his knees filming the crawl, Phil Tippett animating the chess game, and pyro tests in the parking lot. It was, he admits, a little magical — though it didn't change the fact that his creative allegiance remained with illusion, not spectacle. “My favourite effects are the invisible ones. I started out as a magician. The goal is to make people believe there's no trick. That's where the real artistry is.” Still, that didn't stop him from sneaking penguins and moose into the background of multiple films. He once gave a horse antlers in a Cameron Crowe movie. In Blood Diamond, he added a huge penguin family to a wide evacuation shot — no one noticed. “It's like the gorilla basketball video. You just don't see what you're not looking for.” The Shark That Ate Sam Perhaps his most famous — or infamous — contribution to pop culture came on Deep Blue Sea. Samuel L. Jackson had just delivered a particularly rough eight-page monologue, and Okun, unimpressed with the script, asked Jackson what he wanted to do. “He just said, ‘Kill me.' So I said, ‘If you make it to the front of the moon pool, I'll kill you.'” The surprise shark attack that interrupts Jackson mid-speech is now legendary. It wasn't in the script. “Renny Harlin didn't know until the day,” Okun said. “Sam did take after take but always got to the kill spot early. We cut the rest. I shot the elements. It was a massacre. We even had baby sharks pull him apart for fun.” The Changing Landscape Much of our conversation revolved around the changing realities of visual effects — the rise of AI, the complications of LED walls, and the shifting expectations from directors and studios. “People think VFX is just hitting the ‘do it right' button and then the ‘do it fast' button,” he said. “There's so little appreciation for how hard this stuff is, and we've done ourselves no favours by making it all invisible.” He sees today's VFX artists as increasingly anonymous — a shift he's spent much of his career trying to reverse, both through his own visibility and via his tenure at the Visual Effects Society. “We don't sell our artistry. We sell our software. You know the names of the DPs, but no one can name last year's VFX Oscar winners. That's not sustainable.” The Invisible War Stories At the end of our chat, Okun expressed a desire to tell more of the “true” stories of VFX — the screw-ups, the late-night fixes, the shots that weren't supposed to work. He wants more people to know that the chaos behind the curtain is often where the real creative breakthroughs happen. “It's always fun. That's the only reason I still do it. And when it's collaborative, when it's people bouncing ideas off each other, it's magical. That's when everyone forgets the pain and just remembers the movie.”All the Filmumentaries Links

Their contributions add depth to the conversation, making this episode a must-listen for Jerry Maguire fans and film enthusiasts alike.Jerry Maguire: A Lasting Cultural LandmarkThe episode begins by exploring Jerry Maguire's legacy in pop culture. The film, directed by Cameron Crowe, remains one of the most quotable movies of the '90s, thanks to lines like “Show me the money!” and “You complete me.” The podcast hosts discuss how these catchphrases took on a life of their own, transcending the film and becoming embedded in everyday conversations. They also examine Tom Cruise's performance, arguing that it represents a perfect blend of his charm, intensity, and comedic timing, solidifying Jerry Maguire as one of his defining roles. Additionally, they explore how the film's impact on pop culture extends to sports, relationships, and even business philosophy.Jerry Maguire as a Romantic ComedyWhile Jerry Maguire is often categorized as a sports drama, the hosts argue that it functions just as effectively as a romantic comedy.

Almost Famous, sexo, drogas y memoria 25 años después “¡No vayas a meterte drogas!” le grita Elaine a William, su hijo de 15 años que acaba de encontrar trabajo en la revista Rolling Stone y está por embarcarse en la gira de Stillwater, el grupo del momento, para registrar todo en su bloc de notas. Por supuesto, lo que ocurre es todo lo contrario y en parte esa experimentación con lo prohibido, con lo nuevo, con lo cool, es lo que nos cuenta Almost Famous, la película casi autobiográfica escrita y dirigida por Cameron Crowe, y que este año cumple 25 de haberse estrenado. Entre ser una declaración de amor al rock and roll, un viaje de nostalgia de la buena, una reflexión sobre los amores, el crecimiento y la fama, la película es también una oportunidad para comprobar, de nuevo, que el cine es emoción antes que nada, igual que el rock, igual que el amor. No se trata de ponernos cursis, así que para entrarle de nuevo a Almost Famous a 25 años de su estreno, invitamos a este episodio a Marcelo Lara, famoso de verdad y bluesero y rockero de altura en más escenarios de los que ustedes creen y amigo atemporal de Cinegarage. Hablemos pues de esa maravilla que cumple un cuarto de siglo: Almost Famous. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, help us help you show you the money, as we dive in to the world of sports agents and romance with a 90s rom-com classic starring a man who frankly completes us on this podcast. It's 1996's Jerry Maguire, written and directed by Cameron Crowe and starring Tom Cruise, Renée Zellweger, Cuba Gooding Jr., Kelly Preston, Bonnie Hunt, Jerry O'Connell, Jay Mohr, Todd Louiso and Jonathan Lipnicki. A throwback to an era when Crowe actually made great films (or any films at all), this one's got plenty of charming and funny performances and almost more plot than it's 2h20m runtime even knows what to do with, and we get into the nitty-gritty as to whether Rod Tidwell's NFL free agency arc even makes sense in reality. Plus: J Mo's got another theatrical field report fresh off of a Valentine's trip to see Heart Eyes! If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our conversation, Jerry Maguire is currently streaming on Crave, Starz, and free with ads on the CTV app in Canada at the time of publication. Other works discussed in this episode include Captain America: Brave New World, Happy Death Day (2 U), Freaky, Werewolves Within, Thanksgiving, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Starman, Star Trek Beyond, Down With Love, Bring It On, Yes Man, Liar Liar, My Best Friend's Wedding, Men In Black, Starship Troopers, Say Anything..., Singles, Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky, Mission: Impossible III, Elizabethtown, Gran Turismo, Magnolia, Tropic Thunder, Edge of Tomorrow, Anyone But You, and Fargo, among many more. We'll be back next week to wrap up Feb2ary Is For Lovers with our final-Friday-of-the-month canon consideration, as Hayley nominates 10 Things I Hate About You to enter the hallowed halls of the pod-canon this month. That film can currently be found streaming in Canada on Disney+, Crave, Starz and Hollywood Suite. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

This time, dating coach Connell Barrett shares love lessons from the 1989 Cameron Crowe classic “Say Anything.” He's joined by special guest Cristina Nava, a Hollywood producer who specializes in making rom-coms! (Her latest movie, the very funny “Say a Little Prayer,” is now streaming on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.)

In 1989, Cameron Crowe's Say Anything became an iconic 80s romance that captured the awkwardness and sweetness of young love. The story follows Lloyd Dobler, a charming high school grad unsure of his future but knows he wants Diane Court, the smart yet emotionally distant valedictorian. This isn't your typical romance—Lloyd isn't the usual leading man, and Diane isn't the stereotypical love interest. Instead, the film subverts expectations to deliver a heartfelt, unconventional love story that still resonates today. Join Tim Williams and guest co-host Bethany Wells as they dive into this classic on the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast!Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: Lloyd and Diane's school appears to be based on The Lakeside School, a very prestigious private school in Seattle. But in the film, the school is called Lakewood and has a rooster, not a lion, as its mascot. The dojo featured in this movie was also used in "The Karate Kid" (1984). Fox gave the green light for producers to adapt "Say Anything" into a single-camera TV sitcom that would have taken place 10 years after the movie's ending. But the show's creators never bothered to ask original writer/director Cameron Crowe if he was interested. Once Crowe heard about the project, he was dismayed and expressed on Twitter that he had no involvement "except in trying to stop it." John Cusack also cried foul about the project; the backlash from the fans was too much to overcome, so the project was canceled.Sources: Wikipedia, IMDB, Box Office Mojohttps://www.pajiba.com/seriously_random_lists/mindhole-blowers-25-facts-about-say-anything-that-are-neither-bought-sold-nor-processed.phphttps://www.mentalfloss.com/article/73152/14-surprising-facts-about-say-anythinghttps://awardswatch.com/say-anything-at-35-how-a-boy-a-boombox-and-a-dream-turned-into-a-timeless-classic-retrospective/https://www.slashfilm.com/1497085/only-major-actors-still-alive-say-anything/Some sections were composed or edited by ChatGPT We'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

Grunge era icon, guitar god, and Alice in Chains co-founder, Jerry Cantrell, as well as vocalist, Greg Puciato (formerly of The Dillinger Escape Plan), join us on this episode of The Adamantium Podcast. We discuss Jerry's newest solo album, I Want Blood, the single “Afterglow”, the spoken word versions with accompanying animated videos of the entire album, his friendship with Chris Cornell, and starring in Cameron Crowe films across from Tom Cruise. We also talk about their first meeting and how Greg became Jerry's touring co-vocalist, Greg's life after Dillinger, his new band Better Lovers, how his vocal training and stage presence has changed since meeting Jerry, and his own label/art collective, Federal Prisoner, with artist Jesse Draxler.

THE HEART OF ROCK ‘N' ROLL—There's a saying about the Velvet Underground's first album: it didn't sell a lot of copies but everyone who bought it went on to form a band. Not everyone who read Creem went on to form a band, but almost everyone who ever wrote about rock music in a significant way has a connection to Creem. Founded in Detroit in 1969 by Barry Kramer, Creem was a finger in the eye to the more established Rolling Stone. Creem called itself “America's Only Rock ‘n' Roll Magazine” and its cheeky irreverence matched its devotion to its infamous street cred. Punk, new wave, heavy metal, alternative, indie were all championed at Creem.Writers and editors who worked for Creem read like a who's who of industry legends: Lester Bangs. Dave Marsh. Robert Christgau. Greil Marcus. Patti Smith. Cameron Crowe. Jann Uhelszki. Penny Valentine. And on and on and on.The magazine stopped publishing in 1989 a few years after Barry's death. A documentary about Creem's heyday in 2020 helped lead to a resurrected media brand, founded by JJ Kramer, Barry's son, and launched in 2022. The copy on the first issue's cover: “Rock is Dead. So is Print.”Totally typical Creem-assed fuckery. And still totally rock n roll, man. Print Is Dead (Long Live Print!) is a production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

In this episode of The Rewatch Party, Nick, Anthony, Part-Time Dan, and Elise take a nostalgic journey through the rock-and-roll drama Almost Famous. Directed by Cameron Crowe, this semi-autobiographical film follows a young journalist who lands the gig of a lifetime touring with a fictional band in the 1970s. The hosts explore the movie's themes of self-discovery, the allure of fame, and the bittersweet realities of chasing your dreams, all while debating its rewatchability. Nick leads the discussion by diving into the movie's heartfelt storytelling and authentic portrayal of the music scene of the 1970s. He highlights the film's standout performances, particularly Kate Hudson's turn as the enigmatic Penny Lane, and how the soundtrack perfectly encapsulates the era. Anthony brings his usual enthusiasm, delving into the coming-of-age aspect of the story and connecting it to Crowe's knack for creating relatable characters and emotional depth. Elise brings a fresh perspective, analyzing the dynamics between the characters and the broader themes of hero worship and personal growth. She shares her appreciation for the film's ability to balance humor, heartache, and nostalgia. Part-Time Dan, meanwhile, adds his signature humor to the conversation, reminiscing about iconic scenes like the band's impromptu singalong to “Tiny Dancer” and the awkward but touching moments that define the protagonist's journey. The hosts ultimately agree that Almost Famous is a film that captures lightning in a bottle, with its timeless music, relatable characters, and deeply personal story. Whether you're a die-hard fan of classic rock or someone discovering the film for the first time, this episode offers plenty of insights, laughs, and heartfelt discussions. The group concludes that Almost Famous is not only a rewatchable gem but also a love letter to the transformative power of music and storytelling.   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181875/

This episode originally aired on Feb. 14, 2023 “I moved on to the next thing I was going to write,” says the noted dramatist and television writer Winnie Holzman, recalling the cancellation of her critically-acclaimed series “My So-Called Life,” after just one season. “That's what we do as writers.  We move on to the next thing.”  Indeed. In Winnie Holzman's case, one of those “next things” turned out to be the book for the hit Broadway musical “Wicked,” with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz—one of the longest running shows in Broadway history. The collaboration earned her a prestigious Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical, as well as a Tony nomination for Best Book of a Musical. Prior to her Emmy-nominated work on “My So-Called Life,” which she created for executive producers Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz, Winnie wrote several scripts for the Zwick-Herskovitz drama “Thirtysomething,” and she would go on to serve as executive producer of “Roadies,” created by Cameron Crowe, and as co-creator of the series “Huge,” with her daughter Savannah Dooley.  Join us as Winnie reflects on her wickedly successful career writing for the stage and the small screen, the many ways writers measure their successes, and the give-and-take that has fueled her collaborations with some of the most creative minds in theater and television.

Today, we're cruising back to the 1980s with a deep dive into Fast Times at Ridgemont High, a seminal teen comedy that has left an indelible mark on the genre. Directed by Amy Heckerling and released in 1982, this film not only launched several careers but also captured the quintessential teen experience with humor, honesty, and a bit of rebellion.Based on Cameron Crowe's book, which he wrote after going undercover at a San Diego high school, Fast Times at Ridgemont High presents a slice-of-life look at the trials and tribulations of teenage life. The film explores the lives of several students including the iconic Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn), a perpetually stoned surfer, the ambitious Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and her older brother, Brad (Judge Reinhold), as they navigate the complexities of adolescence.From dating disasters to job frustrations, the film covers a wide range of teen experiences. Stacy's explorations of love and relationships, Spicoli's clashes with the strict Mr. Hand (Ray Walston), and Brad's journey toward independence paint a vivid picture of the ups and downs of teenage life. The narrative is episodic, shifting focus among characters and their individual stories, which are both humorous and poignant.Why It Stands OutAuthentic Dialogue and Situations: The film shines in its depiction of teenage dialogue and situations, feeling both authentic and relatable. It captures the awkwardness, excitement, and confusion of high school without resorting to cliché.Breakout Performances: Sean Penn's portrayal of Spicoli is legendary, providing a source of comic relief and becoming a cultural icon. The performances by a young ensemble cast, including future stars like Nicolas Cage and Forest Whitaker, are dynamic and memorable.Cultural Impact: The film tackled teen issues with a frankness that was rare for its time, addressing topics like sex, drugs, and identity with a directness that has influenced countless teen comedies that followed.Fast Times at Ridgemont High explores the theme of adolescence as a pivotal time for self-discovery and personal growth. Each character's journey through the school year reflects the broader search for identity that defines the teenage experience.Join us as we revisit the hallways of Ridgemont High, exploring its iconic characters and memorable scenes. Whether it's your first time watching or a beloved rewatch, Fast Times promises both laughs and a thoughtful reflection on the highs and lows of teenage life.

We've reviewed a couple of rock movies that had a limited theatrical run - Rush - Cinema Strangiato was episode 42 while The Wolf lived in England and Dio - Dreamers Never Die was covered on ep 98 while he was living in Amsterdam. And while we had wanted to do a double episode on Tom Petty's Wildflowers at 30 with the later released double disc alongside the newly unearthed Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Beach Party film, we felt that episode would be too long an in-depth. So because the recently "found" Cameron Crowe movie which captures the boys in 1983 around the release of the Long After Dark record was having a limited showing, we thought we'd concentrate on that. And we're so glad we did! When we reviewed Long After Dark on episode 64, we found that we loved it and that it was often overlooked and overshadowed by bigger selling albums with more radio hits. However, the melodies and heartfelt lyrics on that album are part of the larger philosophy of Tom and the band and this movie helped expose that. Though it aired once on MTV, the channel decided it wasn't a good fit for their programming at the time so for years it was unavailable. The limited release on October 17 & 20 gave fans the chance to see it for the first time and included 19 extra minutes with Cameron Crowe, Adria Petty (Tom's daughter) some insight from Jimmy Iovine and showed the band not only killing it onstage but filming the You Got Lucky video (which Tom & Cameron called a film). To hear earnest and honest remarks from Tom was so refreshing and made us realize how much we miss him. The live clips not only show a tight band and band leader who wants to create the best show he possibly can but some amazing guitars from Tom and Mike Campbell. It was a rare glimpse with Tom at his home and talking to Cameron Crowe about why and how he makes music. The scene where Tom said he's the same guy at home as on the stage was so brilliant - he was never putting on an act, he was authentic and that's why his music will stand the test of time. Hopefully they release this on DVD/Streaming so more people can enjoy it but if you missed it, here's our take!
