Podcasts about consensus

What if the soft stuff is actually the hardest—and most valuable—work leaders do? We sit down with Stephanie Ford, director at Warren Whitney and IFO-certified facilitator, to explore how a career built on banking rigor, board governance, and deep facilitation turns messy conversations into decisive progress. Stephanie shares how early years in commercial banking taught her to see the whole system—operations, financials, risk, and relationships—and why that end-to-end perspective makes strategic planning and succession work sharper and more humane.We walk through her pivot from saying “no” in a regulated world to saying “yes” as a consultant who helps leaders think. You'll hear tangible facilitation moves: one-on-ones to map the room, explicit trade-offs to unclog decisions, and a conductor's mindset to manage pace, voices, and depth. She opens up about mentors, including the late John Steele, and the boardroom lessons that only show up when organizations hit turbulence—how consensus is built before meetings, why agendas must guard strategy time, and when to slow down so teams can actually align.Rooted in Richmond and renewed by the river, Stephanie credits faith, partnership, and constant learning for the steadiness required to guide complex groups. From privately held companies and family businesses to nonprofits, her throughline is consistent: clear thinking precedes smart action. If you care about strategic planning, succession planning, board governance, and the craft of facilitation, this conversation offers a toolkit and a mindset you can use on Monday morning.Please visit www.internationalfacilitatorsorganization.com to learn more about Mo Fathelbab and International Facilitators Organization (IFO), a leading provider of facilitators and related group facilitation services, providing training, certification, marketing services, education, and community for peer group facilitators at all stages of their career.

If you were given some of the worst news in the world, wouldn't you expect your doctors to use every tool available?What if one of those tools could save millions of lives—and the science is already here?The world's largest medical cannabis and cancer study—10,000 papers, ranked in the top 5% globally—shows overwhelming evidence that cannabis has medical benefits. If fully embraced, its impact on patients and medicine could be transformative. As science continues to unfold, sometimes it takes skeptics to dive deep and uncover what's truly there, even when powerful interests push back.This week we sit down with Ryan Castle, Research Director at Whole Health Oncology Institute, to discuss:Medical cannabis: efficacy, placebo, and why it matters less than you thinkHow this study is being used in rescheduling effortsHow vested interests fuel anti-cannabis researchChapters00:00 Introduction to Medical Cannabis Research03:06 Ryan Castle's Journey into Cannabis Research05:58 The Meta-Analysis Process Explained09:00 Understanding the Data and Its Implications11:54 Skepticism and the Shift in Perspective15:01 Consensus in Medical Cannabis Research18:04 Nuances in Cancer Treatment and Cannabis20:55 Biomarkers and Inflammatory Responses22:56 Exploring Cannabis and Cancer Outcomes29:37 Bridging the Gap: Patient-Reported Outcomes35:32 The Future of Medical Cannabis Research45:34 The Cancer Playbook: Empowering Patients SummaryIn this episode, Bryan Fields and Kellan Finney engage with Ryan Castle, Research Director at Whole Health Oncology Institute, to explore the evolving landscape of medical cannabis research. Ryan shares his journey from skepticism to advocacy, detailing the extensive meta-analysis he conducted on the efficacy of cannabis in treating various symptoms and conditions, particularly in oncology. The conversation delves into the challenges of measuring effectiveness, the importance of patient-reported outcomes, and the need for a shift in medical perspectives towards cannabis as a legitimate treatment option. Ryan emphasizes the potential impact of policy changes and the importance of transparency in research, while also discussing the Cancer Playbook initiative aimed at empowering patients with data-driven insights. TakeawaysRyan Castle initially set out to prove that cannabis doesn't work.His extensive research revealed that cannabis is effective for a wide range of conditions.The meta-analysis included over 10,000 studies and 800,000 data points.Cannabis showed efficacy not just for symptoms but also for cancer treatment.Patient-reported outcomes are crucial for understanding cannabis effectiveness.The study found that cannabis can help reduce opioid dependency.There is a significant need for a shift in medical perspectives on cannabis.Transparency in research is essential for building trust in findings.The health impact assessment could reveal the broader benefits of cannabis.The Cancer Playbook initiative aims to empower patients with data-driven insights.Guest Linkshttps://wholehealthoncologyinstitute.com/Our LinksBryan Fields on TwitterKellan Finney on TwitterThe Dime on TwitterExtraction Teams: Want to cut costs and get more out of every run?

Terry Haayema: When Consensus Becomes Paralysis—The Nemawashi Challenge For Agile Software Development Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "The problem I'm facing is 'too much consensus'... we talk, bounce ideas, but we don't get going." Terry shares his current coaching challenge in a Japanese company where their cultural practice of Nemawashi (consensus building) has become a barrier to progress. While working across the entire organization, he's discovered that quality is suffering because teams aren't clear about desired outcomes before starting work. The excessive focus on building consensus means initiatives bounce between stakeholders without ever gaining momentum. Terry explains how he's experimenting with delaying detailed refinement to build shared understanding as teams progress, rather than trying to achieve perfect consensus upfront. He uses the metaphor of flying a plane - pilots don't stick rigidly to flight plans but constantly make small course corrections based on real-time feedback. Self-reflection Question: In your organization, what well-intentioned practices have become obstacles to the very outcomes they were designed to achieve?

The episode reviews the excerpt from a review or summary of a New York Times article by Catherine Porter and colleagues, titled "United Nations Global Gridlock: Gaza, Ukraine, and Diplomatic Paralysis," which covers the severe tensions and ongoing humanitarian crises addressed at the United Nations General Assembly. The original article is described as offering a panoramic view of diplomatic paralysis, primarily focusing on the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, which have strained international consensus. Specifically regarding Gaza, the text highlights Secretary-General António Guterres's stark assessment that famine is a current reality, alongside the repeated use of the veto by the United States to block ceasefire resolutions. The review notes the article's objective approach, presenting diverging opinions from world leaders concerning Israel's actions and the diplomatic recognition of Palestinian statehood, before briefly broadening its scope to include discussions on the escalating situation in Ukraine and Iran's nuclear program. Ultimately, the article is presented as a fact-driven chronicle of the UN's struggle to translate rhetoric into effective global resolution.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-new-york-times-review--4762002/support.

In the wake of the Charlie Kirk tragedy, as I was reflecting on what unites us amidst intense political division, I thought who better to come on to discuss this than Aubrey Marcus - a visionary podcaster, writer, and poet. Aubrey and I delve deep into what shared values we can focus on that transcend politics, religious dogma, and cultural conventions. We explore the desensitization caused by social media, the importance of recognizing shared humanity, and the dangers of labeling individuals based on their political beliefs. The discussion emphasizes the need for open dialogue, the spectrum of values, and the potential for redemption and transformation in individuals. Ultimately, we advocate for finding common ground and uniting against anti-value ideologies while acknowledging the good intentions behind differing beliefs.The Illusion of Consensus is a reader-supported publication.

French President Emmanuel Macron has picked defence chief Sébastien Lecornu as his new prime minister, a day after François Bayrou was voted out by parliament. The 39-year-old Lecornu's immediate priority will be to try to forge consensus on a new budget, before forming a government. If this year's budget were to be carried over into next year, France's fiscal deficit, already the highest in the EU, is predicted to widen further.

People from Taiwan said they felt a shared sense of pride in the nation's strength and prosperity as they watched the Chinese mainland's V-Day parade both online and in person on Wednesday.来自台湾的民众表示，周三他们通过线上或线下的方式观看了中国大陆的胜利日阅兵，感受到了对国家实力与繁荣的共同自豪感。"As Taiwan compatriots, our confidence in development stems from the strength of the motherland," said Lin Yen-chen, a Taiwan student who attended the military parade in Beijing commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.在北京参加了纪念中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年阅兵式的台湾学生林彦辰表示：“作为台湾同胞，我们对发展的信心源自祖国的强大。”Reflecting on the event, Lin said the 14-year resistance highlighted the true meaning of patriotism and national spirit through the sacrifices of countless martyrs.回顾此次盛典，林彦辰表示，十四年的抗战中无数先烈的牺牲彰显了爱国主义和民族精神的真谛。"In this great era, we, Taiwan compatriots, must firmly stand on the right side of history and actively contribute to the advancement of national reunification and rejuvenation," he said.他说：“在这个伟大的时代，我们台湾同胞必须坚定地站在历史正确的一边，积极为国家统一和民族复兴贡献力量。”Yuann Jeu-jeng, a professor from Taiwan University, expressed his excitement on social media after watching the parade in Tian'anmen Square. "The military parade aims to promote peace, and China always stands on the side of justice," he wrote.台湾大学教授苑举正在天安门广场观看阅兵后，在社交媒体上表达了他的激动心情。他写道：“此次阅兵旨在弘扬和平，中国始终站在正义的一边。”In Xiamen, Fujian province, more than 150 Taiwan compatriots gathered to watch the live broadcast of the parade. Cheng Chun-yuan, who brought his mother and children to watch the broadcast, said, "We feel the strength of our nation and the powerful development of our motherland, which made our family feel extremely proud."在福建省厦门市，超过150名台湾同胞齐聚一堂观看阅兵直播。带着母亲和孩子一同观看直播的郑纯媛说：“我们感受到了国家的力量和祖国的蓬勃发展，这让我们全家感到无比自豪。On Thursday, Wang Huning, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, met with Taiwan representatives attending the V-Day commemoration in Beijing.周四，中共中央政治局常委、全国政协主席王沪宁在北京会见了前来参加胜利日纪念活动的台湾代表。Wang stressed the importance of remembering the history of national resistance, upholding the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, and jointly opposing separatist efforts toward "Taiwan independence" as well as external interference.王沪宁强调要铭记全民族抗战历史，坚持一个中国原则和“九二共识”，共同反对“台独”分裂行径和外部势力干涉。Across the Strait, high viewership of the V-Day parade underscored enthusiasm for the commemoration. Various channels on the island broadcast the event live.在台湾，胜利日阅兵的高收视率体现了民众对纪念活动的热情高涨。岛内多个频道对活动进行了直播。Hung Hsiu-chu, former chairperson of the Chinese Kuomintang who was invited to attend the commemorations in Beijing, said Tuesday on social media: "If the DPP insists on using intimidation to prevent people from participating in the commemoration, it not only reveals their insecurity but also further alienates the sentiments of the Taiwan public regarding the history of the war of resistance.应邀参加北京纪念活动的中国国民党前主席洪秀柱周二在社交媒体上表示：“如果民进党坚持用恐吓手段阻挠人们参与纪念活动，不仅暴露了他们的不安，也进一步疏远了台湾民众对抗战历史的情感。"This is a national memory that must be passed down through generations," she said.她说：“这是必须代代相传的民族记忆。”Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te made remarks about the mainland's parade on Wednesday, saying "Taiwan does not commemorate peace with guns."台湾地区领导人赖清德周三就大陆阅兵发表言论，称“台湾不会用枪炮来纪念和平”。Lai also avoided directly mentioning Japanese aggression and China's victory in the war of resistance, instead twice referring to the events simply as the "end of World War II".赖清德还避谈日本侵略和中国在抗战中的胜利，仅以“二战结束”两次指代相关历史事件。In response, Chen Binhua, a spokesman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, criticized Lai on Thursday for remarks he said "glorified aggression and incited division" on a day meant to honor the pride and dignity of Chinese people worldwide.对此，国务院台办发言人陈斌华周四批评赖清德的言论，称其在全球华人纪念民族自豪与尊严的日子里，“美化侵略，煽动分裂”。"Lai's comments completely disregard the arduous and heroic struggle waged by the Chinese people both domestically and abroad to save the nation from peril, ignoring the great history forged by the blood and lives of the Chinese people for national independence and liberation," Chen said.陈斌华说：“赖清德言论完全无视海内外中华儿女为挽救民族危亡所进行的艰苦卓绝、可歌可泣的斗争，完全抹煞台湾同胞在这场全民族抗战中作出的重要贡献，是对中国人民用鲜血和生命争取民族独立和解放这一伟大历史的极不尊重。”prosperityn.繁荣/prɒˈsperəti/martyrsn.烈士/ ˈmɑːtəz /rejuvenationn.更新；复苏；复兴/ rɪˌdʒuːvɪˈneɪʃən /

You're a drink.”).Ongoing bit: “There is no such thing as a good dad joke.”Parliament of Papas (rolled a 4)Reddit case: “Am I the buttface for going to Comic-Con after my wife took our kid (and her ex) to Disney without me—using our miles?”Panel reaction: finances + co-parenting ≠ unilateral decisions; ex attending without current spouse is a relational red flag.Consensus: wife = primary buttface; husband needs boundaries; bigger issue is relationship health.Daddy, Tell Me a Story (rolled a 2) — Rewatching childhood movies as parentsExamples: Caddyshack, Revenge of the Nerds, Three Fugitives, Firestarter, TMNT (1990 rooftop scene), Blankman, Transformers: The Movie ('86 toy-reset trauma), Robocop (how was this a cartoon?), The Ringer, Monty Python: Meaning of Life.Themes: TV edits vs. theatrical cuts; using IMDb Parents Guide; explaining dated humor; navigating innuendo in “family” animation; when to pause/skip with kids.How do I overcome my sheltered upbringing? (segued after gift moment)Hosts/guest share growing up Pentecostal/Southern Baptist/Mormon variations: satanic panic era (D&D, Magic cards), filtered DVD players, language rules.Parenting approaches now: teach context and timing for language; “if you don't know what it means, don't say it”; consent to discuss anything; “If it's on TV, it's not real.”Tools for fear/nightmares: teach lucid-dream control (look at your hand; give yourself a bazooka), anchor objects (a huggable TARDIS), model calm vs. catastrophizing.Live mic stories: rewatch shocks (Harry Potter attitudes, Severance tension without nudity, Blue Eye Samurai content surprise, 2001: A Space Odyssey at age six, Jaws jump scare), “that channel” confessions, schoolyard language, and representing disability positively in The Ringer.Parenting wisdom from audience: treat kids as autonomous humans; teach agency, not fear.Family-friendly doesn't mean sterile—context, conversation, and consent beat blanket bans.Rewatches are opportunities: talk era, edits, and what's changed culturally.Co-parenting logistics require transparency, not unilateral “surprises.”Teach courage over fear; give kids cognitive tools to manage scary media and language.“Everything I do is family-friendly—as long as you're my family.” —Charles“Teach time and place. Context turns ‘forbidden' into teachable.” —Josh“The second you posted to Reddit, you knew the answer—this is a relationship problem.” —Panel“If it's on TV, it's not real.

Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice. In this episode, "Overviewing Consensus Guidelines to Standardize Gene Therapy Care in Duchenne," Barry Byrne, MD, chief medical advisor at the Muscular Dystrophy Association and director of the Powell Gene Therapy Center at the University of Florida, discusses newly published consensus guidelines from the MDA and Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy on the safe delivery and monitoring of gene therapy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Byrne explains the rationale behind convening a global panel of experts, emphasizing the need for standardized practices in patient selection, administration, and follow-up care as gene therapy becomes more widely available. He highlights the importance of expanded multidisciplinary teams—including hematology, cardiology, nephrology, and immunology—in managing immune-related safety concerns, with particular attention to monitoring liver inflammation and emerging strategies such as rapamycin use. In addition, Byrne outlines how these guidelines address real-world challenges around access, including geographic barriers, language considerations, and financial constraints, while underscoring their role in shaping future gene therapy approaches as additional therapies move through development.

Consensus feels safe — but in business, it's often the very thing holding you back from growth. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill unpack the hidden costs of consensus-driven decision-making. From firms with five partners debating every choice to small teams waiting on unanimous buy-in, they reveal why trying to please everyone creates delays, missed opportunities, and stalled growth. If you've ever walked out of a meeting wondering why it took two hours to argue over a single decision, this conversation will change how you lead. Here's what you'll learn: Why speed beats consensus — and why imperfect decisions made quickly can fuel faster growth How to assign decision rights by expertise so your team stops spinning in circles What it takes to embrace “disagree and commit” so your firm moves forward even without unanimous agreement If you're tired of decision gridlock, this episode will show you how to lead with clarity, speed, and conviction. ---- 02:20 – Why many attorneys know more about their favorite sports team than their own firm's numbers 04:15 – The importance of wearing your own “jersey” and taking pride in your brand 14:10 – Why consensus among five partners is the slowest way to make decisions 15:50 – Not every partner should have an equal vote — expertise matters 16:25 – Speed beats consensus: why fast imperfect decisions win 17:35 – The power of “disagree and commit” in high-performing firms 18:05 – Treating failure as data, not identity 20:00 – Why you can't always wait for buy-in before leading change ---- Links & Resources: Brazil Nut Georgia Power Comcast AT&T ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

Ivy Zelman is one of the most respected voices in American housing, co-founder of Zelman & Associates, and now Executive Vice President at Walker & Dunlop, which acquired her firm in 2021 as the leading institutional research, advisory, and investment banking firm dedicated exclusively to the U.S. housing industry.Over the last three decades, Ivy has built a reputation for bold, contrarian analysis—famously calling the top of the housing market in 2005 and the bottom in 2012—moments that cemented her as a rare analyst unafraid to speak truth to consensus. That conviction has earned her numerous accolades, including recognition in Barron's 100 Most Influential Women in U.S. Finance for four consecutive years and induction into the California Homebuilding Foundation's Hall of Fame.In our conversation, we trace Ivy's journey from falling into equity research to taking the entrepreneurial leap in 2007, founding Zelman & Associates amid the looming financial crisis. We explore her approach to research and analysis—blending proprietary surveys with a nationwide network of builders, brokers, and lenders—to consistently separate signal from noise.We reflect on her evolution as a leader and entrepreneur, the culture she has cultivated with a team that has stayed by her side for decades, her love of Cleveland, and what it means to pay it forward today through teaching and mentorship as an Adjunct Professor of Finance at Case Western Reserve University, her memoir Gimme Shelter, and much more.00:00:00 - Catalytic Moments in Finance00:08:25 - Recognizing Blind Spots in Research00:11:27 - The Entrepreneurial Inclination00:11:55 - Building Conviction and Confidence00:15:54 - Vision for Success00:17:21 - Detective Work in Research00:18:45 - Cultivating a Strong Network00:22:20 - The Importance of Asking the Right Questions00:25:13 - Reconciliation with Reality00:26:35 - Navigating Market Sentiment00:28:13 - The Evolution of Zellman Associates00:30:38 - Personal Growth as an Entrepreneur00:34:06 - Leadership and Team Development00:36:01 - Maintaining Intellectual Honesty Post-Acquisition00:37:39 - Understanding the Value of Research00:39:15 - Cleveland's Unique Perspective00:42:10 - Paying It Forward and Mentorship00:45:38 - Lessons for the Next Generation00:47:23 - Contrarian Views on Market Trends00:49:17 - Balancing Work and Family Life00:51:20 - Hidden Gem-----LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivy-zelman-64304616b/https://www.zelmanassociates.com/https://www.amazon.com/Gimme-Shelter-Skills-Street-Trailblazer/dp/1737709929-----SPONSOR:Roundstone InsuranceRoundstone Insurance is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

He shares personal experiences from a recent training session and draws parallels to decision-making processes in sales, emphasizing the need for curiosity, concise communication, and understanding team dynamics. Schaeffer introduces the new ABCs of selling, which focus on being curious, concise, and courteous, while cautioning against making assumptions about decision-makers and their authority.Takeaways—Assuming can lead to misunderstandings and missed opportunities.—It's essential to remain open-minded and avoid making assumptions about others' skills or roles.—In sales, decision-making often involves multiple stakeholders, not just the person with the title.—Always ask who else is involved in the decision-making process.—Objections in sales can often be anticipated and addressed upfront.—Effective communication requires curiosity and the ability to listen.—Sales strategies should focus on building consensus among team members.—Avoid using weak language that invites objections.—The new ABCs of selling include being curious, concise, and courteous.—Always be prepared to adapt your approach based on the conversation.Sound bites—"I needed consensus from both."—"Who on your team do you consult with?"—"Assume nothing in sales."Chapters00:00 The Dangers of Assumptions06:03 Understanding Decision-Making in Sales10:56 The New ABCs of SellingUnlock the secrets of sales success by understanding what makes people do the things they do—access your free training: https://wesschaeffer.com/daily12 Weeks To Peak™ starts every month: 12WeeksToPeak.comConnect with me:X -- https://X.com/saleswhispererInstagram -- https://instagram.com/saleswhispererLinkedIn -- http://www.linkedin.com/in/thesaleswhisperer/#TheBJJandBIZPodcast #12WeeksToPeak #SalesTraining #GoalSetting #PersonalDevelopment #GrowthMindset

This week on Sinica, I chat with Dave Kang (USC), Zenobia Chan (Georgetown), and Jackie Wong (American University in Sharjah, UAE) about their new paper in International Security titled "What Does China Want?" The paper, which has generated quite a bit of controversy, takes a data-driven approach to examine the claim that China seeks global hegemony — that it wants to supplant the U.S. as a globe-spanning top power. I'm traveling much of this week, so I'll update this podcast page when the transcript comes back!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

'Cram week' rolls on as we take one final look at the ADPs heading into the busiest draft weekend of the year. Justin Boone joins Matt Harmon to identify 10 ADPs they are most against consensus on. The two debate if they should be worried about these players and being far off consensus ADP or if they should have conviction in their contrarian takes. At the end of the day, fading bad ADPs and landing guys who out kick their ADPs is one of the best roads to fantasy glory.(2:45) - Fantasy fallout: Adam Thielen traded to the Vikings(10:30) - Fantasy fallout: Rashee Rice to face 6-game suspension(18:00) - Harmon's 1st guy against ADP: Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes(22:45) - Boone's 1st guy against ADP: Lions WR Jameson Williams(29:10) - Boone's 2nd guy against ADP: Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill(35:40) - Harmon's 2nd guy against ADP: Broncos WR Courtland Sutton(40:45) - Boone's 3rd guy against ADP: Bears WR DJ Moore(46:30) - Harmon's 3rd guy against ADP: Colts TE Tyler Warren(56:30) - Boone's 4th guy against ADP: Cowboys RB Javonte Williams(1:05:30) - Harmon's 4th guy against ADP: Giants RB Cam Skattebo(1:15:40) - Boone's 5th guy against ADP: Ravens RB Derrick Henry(1:20:15) - Harmon's 5th guy against ADP: Bills WR Keon Coleman Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:

Labor is promising stronger environmental protections and faster project approvals - but it's not the first time.

This week on Another Pass, Case and Sam are joined by guest Sean Muir to dissect the late '90s sci-fi horror flick Virus—a movie where bad wiring meets worse decisions. Together, they explore the film's potential, its squandered setup, and how it almost became the Event Horizon of killer robot movies. #AnotherPass #Virus1999 #JamieLeeCurtis #DonaldSutherland #SeanMuir #SciFiHorror #FlawedButFascinating Another Pass Full Episode Originally aired: August 22, 2025 Music by Vin Macri and Matt Brogan Podcast Edited by Sophia Ricciardi Certain Point Of View is a podcast network brining you all sorts of nerdy goodness!

The film was released in January 1999, originally scheduled for late 1998, but was a commercial failure, earning only half of its budget back with critical reviews reflecting its shortcomings. Discussion revealed that the movie heavily referenced better films like The Thing and Alien, being described as merely an 'outline of a movie', lacking the depth expected from the genre. The technical achievements of Phil Tippett's animatronics were praised, although criticized for being too bright for the intended horror atmosphere, while CGI elements did not hold up well. Cultural shifts post-9/11 were noted as a change in audience appetite for sci-fi horror, marking an end to the late 90s creature feature trend seen in films like Independence Day. Character development was weak, with the consensus that Billy Baldwin's role could be eliminated without impacting the story; Sherman Augustus's character identified as the most promising but underutilized. Proposed a campier direction for the film, featuring humans viewed as 'uncouth' by aliens, which could yield more engaging content and interactions among the crew. Suggested removing the opening space scene to enhance suspense, providing a fresher take on alien threat revelation and deepening story engagement. Critique noted inconsistencies in character portrayals   Notes ️ Episode Introduction & Setup (00:00 - 10:25) Case Aiken and Sam Alicea welcome guest Sean Muir (Movie Midness) to discuss the 1999 sci-fi horror film 'Virus'. Both Case and Sam were unfamiliar with the film despite it featuring notable actors and being from 1999, highlighting how obscure it became. John Bruno left his VFX supervisor position on Titanic to direct this film, but his career trajectory after this movie remains unclear. The movie appears made for cyberpunk enthusiasts, sci-fi nerds, and specifically mentioned Billy Idol during his cyberpunk phase after missing the T-1000 role in Terminator 2. Movie Plot Summary & Analysis (07:40 - 20:48) Film opens with Russian space station receiving alien energy that transfers to communication ship; American tugboat crew discovers abandoned vessel during hurricane and faces killer machines. Features Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Sutherland, Billy Baldwin, and Cliff Curtis; Sam expresses confusion about Billy Baldwin's casting choices. Film draws heavily from better movies including The Thing, Alien, Event Horizon, and Ghost Ship; described as feeling like an 'outline of a movie'. Movie was a commercial bomb, earning only half its budget back and receiving harsh critical reviews. ️ Technical & Production Discussion (20:49 - 40:48) Phil Tippett's animatronics work praised as excellent, though perhaps too well-lit for horror atmosphere; practical effects hold up better than CGI elements. Late 90s represented end of creature feature era; audiences moving toward CGI spectacle seen in films like Independence Day and Jurassic Park sequels. Discussion of how cultural tastes changed dramatically after 9/11, affecting appetite for this type of sci-fi horror content. Movie reused ship from The Abyss and other James Cameron productions; originally scheduled for 1998 release but moved to January 1999 'dump month'. Character & Story Analysis (40:48 - 01:02:22) Crew relationships underdeveloped compared to superior ensemble films like Aliens; characters lack memorable personality moments. Consensus that Billy Baldwin's character adds nothing to the film and could be completely removed without impact. Sherman Augustus's character Richie identified as film's best, showing intelligence and survival instincts that should have made him the protagonist. Central concept of humans being the 'virus' poorly executed compared to The Matrix (same year) or later films like Arrival. Pitch Session - Campy Direction (01:02:23 - 01:12:53) Proposes making film campier with Galactic Union of Planets deciding humans are 'uncouth' and sending computer virus to eliminate them efficiently. Suggests more scenes of Richie building weapons from robot parts and crew creating makeshift tools for survival. Proposes aliens are annoyed by human space transmissions like 'intergalactic Mormons' constantly trying to make contact. More creative use of ship's manufacturing equipment turned into weapons. Technical Improvement Suggestions (01:12:53 - 01:22:35) Sean criticizes inconsistent Scottish accent performance, suggests either full commitment or using natural voice. Marshall Bell (Woods) needs better pain expression training for nail gun injury scenes. Second wall of hurricane not properly represented with appropriate ship movement and chaos during climax. Movie lacks clear layout understanding, unlike Die Hard's excellent building geography that aids tension. Horror Direction Alternative (01:16:55 - 01:22:35) Remove opening space station scene, make it flashback told by Nadia; focus on mystery and unknown threat. Give Jamie Lee Curtis's Kit Foster more personal stakes and character arc beyond basic competence. Build more suspense through delayed revelation of alien threat; explore 'humans as virus' theme more thoroughly. Better utilize ship's impressive technical areas and create clearer navigation understanding. Wrap-up & Social Media (01:22:35 - 01:27:59) Sean Muir promotes Movie Midness Instagram, Letterboxd, and YouTube profiles featuring movie analysis and model train scene recreations. Thanks to executive producer level supporters including Micah McCaw, Carter Hallett, Sean Muir, and others. Highlander 2: The Quickening announced as next film for discussion. Shoutouts to Macaw Podcast, We Have Issues comic review show, and Books that Burn literature podcast.

GCSE results day has brought a mixed picture; the pass rate has fallen, yet the regional gap has reduced and the gender gap is the narrowest it has ever been. Isabel Hardman and Sir Nick Gibb, former Conservative schools minister, join James Heale to discuss education policy, how changing cultural expectations may be helping the gender gap and why Labour seem determined to attack the Conservatives' record on education. In Nick's words, is Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson a ‘more political figure than education figure'?Plus: how the recent High Court ruling over migrant hotels could spark a crisis for the government as more councils, including Labour-controlled ones, seek an end to the policy.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Karl Kreder, better known as Dr. K, is best known in the space for researching the use of merged-mined subnets to scale Proof of Work in 2018 – a concept which led to the launch of the Quai Network, which introduced the Proof of Entropy Minima (PoEM) consensus for high transaction throughput within a decentralized environment. Today, we talk about his views on Bitcoin, why Proof of Work is still relevant in a world that's converging towards the more convenient Proof of Stake, and how the Quai Network works.

Consensus is building around Obamagate. If Obama himself isn't going to be held directly accountable - even though Stigall makes another credible cast today that he should be - most are coming to the conclusion there's one central figure who will. President Trump put on quite a show yesterday at Federal Reserve headquarters with Jerome Powell dragged alongside. The focus - a multi-blllion dollar renovation President Trump says is out of control. While in front of cameras, the President addressed Powell directly and things got awkward for the Fed Chair fast. Jim Pfaff from the Conservative Caucus breaks down the Fed's long overdue scrutiny. One of the most passionate advocates we know for parents and children is actress and host Sam Sorbo, wife of actor Kevin Sorbo here to discuss the "Parents Demanding Justice Alliance." And how do you allow a guy you're paying to keep showing up on a job to attack you?
