At 22 million people, situated on what was once a mighty lake roughly 700 years ago well over a mile above sea level, Mexico City has a lot going against it when it comes to keeping its citizens' water supplies well-stocked. Add to that a long climate-crisis exacerbated drought, and there is no small chance that by June there may come a day when most of the city has no running water - a "day zero". We discuss. Next, we look at the improvements made to the horrific gerrymandering that Wisconsin had been suffering under for all state legislature elections since 2012, and the difference it makes in having the lines moved. Finally, we look at Mike McCabe's post discussing how the people who are pressing for conformity in their fellow American citizens aren't just wrong headed - they are acting un-American!

The film is both a romantic comedy, depicting the president's courtship, and a political drama, depicting the effort to win votes, dodge criticism and shore up the White House's political position.The tagline for “The American President” is “Why can't the most powerful man in the world have the one thing he wants most?”“The American President” is available for rent or purchase on Amazon and iTunes.Our next episode will on the 1995 science-fiction thriller, “Twelve Monkeys.” Connor Lynch produced this episode.

For this week's episode, Jamelle and John were joined by Isaac Chotiner of the New Yorker magazine to watch and discuss 1995's GoldenEye, the first James Bond film of the 1990s and the first James Bond film of the post-Cold War era. GoldenEye is the seventeenth film in the James Bond series and the first to star Pierce Brosnan, who would go on to star in three subsequent pictures, all of which we will eventually cover on the podcast: Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day.Directed by Martin Campbell and starring, in addition to Brosnan, Sean Bean, Izabella Scorupco, Famke Janssen, Alan Cumming, Judi Dench and Joe Don Baker, Goldeneye was something of a reboot for the Bond franchise, which had been on a six-year hiatus since the previous entry, License to Kill starring Timothy Dalton. The plot of GoldenEye is as straightforward as one of these movies can manage: Bond is tasked with stopping the mysterious Janus syndicate from stealing and using a Soviet-era space weapon capable of causing an electro-magnetic pulse blast anywhere on the planet. Complicating this mission is the fact that the leader of Janus, Alec Trevelayn, is a former MI6 agent who was supposed to have died on a mission with Bond, nine years earlier. There's the usual adventures and explosions and casual sexual encounters, culminating in a final showdown between Bond and Trevelayn on a massive satellite.GoldenEye, if you've somehow never seen it, is available for rental and purchase on iTunes and Amazon.For our next episode, we're covering the 1995 romantic-political comedy, “The American President,” starring Michael Douglas and Annette Benning.Connor Lynch produced this episode.

To help talk us through that kaleidoscope we've Rebecca Grant, UK CEO and Global Chief Brand Officer of BCW on the show.We're going to talk about the importance of values in successful communication campaigns. The hope is that in 30 mins' time, you'll know about the basics of Schwartz's values theory, why it matters to communications and we'll give you an insight into the research BCW has done to take Schwartz's theory and apply it to communications best practice.So it's a serious show and to match such a serious topic I should mention that it's the very serious ESG Awards entry deadline in September! Take a look at all the categories on the ESG Awards website.And thanks so much to the PRmoment Podcast sponsors of the PRCA.Here is a summary of what Rebecca and I discussed on the show:2 mins Rebecca talk us through Schwartz's work on values and what it was all about.“Values are the motivational basis for what we think, feel and do…they are foundational and shape how we engage with the world. They are more constant than our attitudes, knowledge and opinions."“Values are formed in adolescence and then shape your view of the world and they remain constant.”“Your values might shift or evolve but on the whole, once your value set is formed in adolescence they remain constant.”“You will have different values, they are not mutually exclusive.”“Professor Schwartz defines the basic human values - of which there are eleven.”“Values are good predictors of future behaviours.”7.30 mins You can visit www.bcwmovatory.com to find out your own values.8 mins Rebecca talks us through Schwartz's 11 values: Self-direction, Stimulation, Hedonism, Achievement, Power, Security, Tradition, Conformity, Universalism Societial, Universalism Nature, Benevolence.14 mins How has BCW's research put a communications layer on top of Schartz's work to understand how to communicate with people with different values?“As people, we will fit into 1 of the 7 Archetypes based on a combination of our core values”19 mins Why this research has huge implications for communications and content planning.23 mins Rebecca talks us through the 7 Archetypes coming out of BCW's research.The Success Seeker, The Conformist, The Adventurer, The Visionary, The Protector, The Good Neighbour, The Traditionalist and The Conformist.25 mins Bens's core values: Benevolence, Universalism Societial, Self-direction.26 mins Rebecca's Core Values: Benevolence, Universalism Societial, Conformity.

Original Air Date: Monday 27 February, 9 pm Eastern Description: Dean and Phil commiserate about power outages in Dean's Michigan neighborhood and about snow in Los Angeles! More important than winter season weather, however, are which way the winds are blowing in Hollywood's award season and they discuss the latest news and how it affects handicapping this year's Best Picture Oscar race. Long before it was called "Best Picture", the top Oscar was called "Best Production" and Phil analyzes one of its earliest recipients - Cimarron, one of the only westerns ever to win the top prize from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Another western also has Phil's attention: Red Sun starring Charles Bronson, Toshiro Mifune and Alain Delon. Phil follows up on last week's remembrance of Raquel Welch, by sharing thoughts on and stories about one of her earliest films, Lady in Cement starring Frank Sinatra. Finally, Phil saw a screening of the great Italian classic The Conformist and discussion of this leads to appreciations on the art of editing and some of its greatest practitioners, as well as an appreciation for the great production designer Ferdinando Scarfiotti. Dean also saw a movie this week - the current (modest) box office hit 80 for Brady and Dean actually sings its praises! Dean also has two personal stories about the great stand-up comedian-turned-actor Richard Belzer (with whom he starred in and episode of "The X-Files" exploring the origin of the Lone Gunmen). Other notables remembered in “Celebrity Deaths” include a big screen star of the 60s and 70s, and a 6 time Emmy-nominated television actress of the 80's and 90s.
