Podcasts about DreamWorks

Director Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2, Imaginary) has a new killer shark movie out now called The Devil's Mouth starring Kathryn Newton, so naturally he had to come on The Spiel talk a little bit about his Spielberg-y influences. Yes, Jaws does come up, of course, but the conversation mostly focuses on Spielberg's move into the executive arena when he, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen launched their very own movie studio and called it Dreamworks. What happens when a filmmaker is put in charge? Does that have an impact on their own films? With multiple Oscar winning films and giant blockbusters that have come out of the studio over the years, there's no question that the venture was a success, but it wasn't without its lows as well. We talk about all that and more in this new episode of The Spiel! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A sense of melancholy hangs over the music of songwriters whose lives were tragically short – Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, Eva Cassidy, Judee Sill - and we're left knowing very little about them. Jamie Fisher, writer and New York Times researcher, discovered Elliott Smith 12 years after he'd died and contacted 40 of his friends and fellow musicians to build a picture of him for her memoir Nobody Broke Your Heart. She looks back here at his background and ascent from the Portland club circuit to the Oscars, and touches on … … the emotional impact of first hearing his music walking round Central Park in Lockdown … “goofy, stubborn, wildly smart, addictively listenable” … early life in Omaha and Texas (and the telling tattoo on his arm) … the shy collegiate kid reading Dostoevsky who thought promotion was “distasteful” … how a singer-writer broke through in Portland during the Grunge boom … rejected stage-names - Johnny Panic, Elliott Stillwater-Rotter - and the pivotal moment when Steven became ‘Elliott' .. his sense of humour – “a garbage truck passed him and he said, ‘there's my ride!'” … the archive of unreleased recordings she'd heard … the Oscars appearance and signing to DreamWorks and Nirvana's PR … the root of his eventual unhappiness … “he would have been more shielded if he'd been in a band” … and his expanding legacy and adoption by Gen-Z.

Despite a massive voice cast featuring Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Angelina Jolie, and Jack Black, Shark Tale has aged into one of the strangest animated hits of the 2000s. Released at the height of the DreamWorks Animation vs. Pixar rivalry, the film throws everything at the wall: celebrity impressions, mafia movie references, pop culture jokes, bizarre worldbuilding, and fish with human lips.

Steven Puri has produced Academy Award-winning visual effects on films like Independence Day, Braveheart, and Se7en, climbed the executive ladder at DreamWorks and 20th Century Fox, and built three tech companies — two of which failed. Out of those failures came a powerful question: why do some people sustain high performance without burning out, while others grind themselves into the ground?In this episode, Jeff and Steven break down what flow actually is, what your brain is doing when you're in it, how to trigger it consistently, and why most founders are unknowingly working against their own neurology every single day.Key Takeaways[0:00] — Multitasking is a myth. Your brain context switches — and every switch costs you.[4:10] — Steven's origin: bet on proximity to greatness. From Virginia to USC to an Academy Award for Independence Day.[14:55] — What Hollywood taught him: single-minded determination is what separates good from legendary.[22:25] — The Fox wake-up call: he was just the guy in the chair. So he left to build something of his own.[38:55] — The accidental flow state: a Wi-Fi outage on a 2.5-hour flight produced his best work ever — and he didn't even notice time passing.[48:20] — What flow actually feels like: time disappears, distractions drop, self-consciousness fades, and you finish feeling energized — not drained.[51:20] — The neuroscience: fMRI scans show prefrontal cortex activity drops in flow. You stop editing yourself and just work.[55:30] — The 15–23 minute rule: that's how long it takes to drop into flow. One interruption resets the clock.[1:01:00] — Ron Bass's rule: no family talk until he'd written for hours. "When I start talking, I can no longer hear the voices in my head."Tweetable Quotes"Our brains don't multitask. They context switch — and every switch costs you energy you could have spent going deep." — Steven Puri"It takes 15 to 23 minutes to drop into flow. One Slack ping resets the clock to zero. That's not costing you a minute — it's costing you a whole session." — Jeff Mains"You can have results or excuses. Can't have both." — Steven Puri"When I start talking to my family, I can no longer hear the voices in my head. And that's what I get paid for." — Ron Bass (via Steven Puri)"The companies with the biggest incentive for your distraction don't want you to write the book, start the company, or open the restaurant. Your graveyard is their business model." — Steven Puri"Americans overestimate what they can do in a day and underestimate what they can do in a year." — Steven Puri"Why use your brain poorly? You wouldn't type on your keyboard upside down." — Steven Puri"Even if it's just one hour a day, make that hour have the power of two." — Steven Puri"Think of the one thing you could do today that would move your life forward. Don't go to sleep until it's done." — Steven Puri"Build a business of significance while living an epic, adventurous life — that is the whole game." — Jeff MainsSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Proximity to Greatness Is a Strategy Steven's career accelerated every time he put himself in rooms with top performers — from mopping floors near Michael Jordan (metaphorically) to working under Fincher and Cameron. For SaaS founders: deliberately seek mentors, communities, and masterminds where the standard is higher than your current one. You absorb more than you realize.2. The Chair Doesn't Define the Mission Steven hit a wall as a studio executive — well-paid, high-profile, but not his. He was "babysitting Die Hard 5." Many SaaS founders face this inside larger orgs or even their own companies as they scale — doing the job instead of building the vision. Define what you are building, not just what the role requires.3. Protect Your Peak Hours Like Revenue Just as Ron Bass refused to speak to his family until he'd written for hours, the highest-output founders treat their cognitive peak hours as non-negotiable protected time. For most people this is morning. Block it. Turn off Slack. Tell your team. That hour generates disproportionate value — protect it before the reactive demands of leadership consume it.4. Flow State Is a Competitive Advantage — Not a Luxury The research shows flow produces output up to 5x greater per hour. For a SaaS founder juggling product, team, and go-to-market, the difference between 1 hour of deep flow work and 1 hour of fragmented distraction is compounding. Learning to trigger flow is not a wellness exercise — it is a business efficiency investment.5. Monotasking and Time-Boxing Are Table Stakes Multitasking is scientifically false. Context switching burns cognitive resources. The most productive founders pick one thing, finish it, then move to the next. Pair this with Parkinson's Law: time-box every task. Estimates train your brain, create urgency, and prevent the endless stretch that kills output. These two habits alone will outperform most productivity systems.6. One Thing Per Day Compounds Into a Different Life Steven's simplest and most powerful habit: before touching the phone each morning, identify the one thing that would move your life forward today. Not five things. One. Do it before the day's noise sets in. Thirty days of this looks like progress. A year of this looks like a different company.Guest Resourceswww.thesukha.co/mediaSteven@TheSukha.cowww.TheSukha.cohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-puri/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

Join the "STEAM Punks" from the ACN summer program for an exciting, behind-the-scenes conversation with animator, storyboard artist, and Lesley University professor Brandon Strathmann. In this episode, Brandon pulls back the curtain on what it is really like to work in professional animation studios, sharing stories from his time doing fast-paced "floater" storyboard retakes for Family Guy, character acting for DreamWorks' CG comedy Father of the Pride, and concept design for the medieval world of Neopets.Brandon explains the mechanics of storyboarding, describing it as a visual comic strip where you act as both a director of photography and a camera inside the environment, and shares the techniques he used to visually time comedic beats. He also discusses co-creating a Japan travel-study class, teaching students about classical Japanese aesthetics like Wabi-sabi and Notan, and exploring the legendary Ghibli Museum and Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum.For young creators staring at a blank page, Brandon delivers crucial industry advice on overcoming perfectionism, remaining adaptable to rapid technological changes, and why "failure is the first step to success".#SteamboxPodcast #Storyboarding #AnimationCareers #FamilyGuy #AnimeAesthetics #StudioGhibli #LesleyArtAndDesign #YouthInMedia #CharacterDesign #KeepDrawing

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; even though we are Celebrating our 10th Year of Podcasting; we unfortunately exhausted all our energy on the Previous SDCC Reveals & Announcements Ep. So we are giving you a ReIssue episode instead from the Vault. (Originally Posted as Ep #143 - from October 2019). Original blurb: It’s a very special ep as we’re joined by not one, but two of favourite guests in Davey Damaged and Scotty so that’s right – it’s a Homer episode! Trent takes us through a vintage retrospective look at The Addams family by Playmates. Perfectly timed for Halloween, we wonder what could have been with this short-lived line and look to the future of the franchise as a new movie approaches. What characters didn’t get made, which ones make the camera glow and where does MC Hammer fit into it all? We make the jump to Show and Tell as Davey tries to trump us all with a purchase so large, we doubt it will actually fit in his toy room! There’s some DC, MOTU and even Final Fantasy options to choose from. Frank gives a lovely tribute showing that sometimes, the value of a toy; lays in more than its sticker price. Then it’s Quiz time and with Davey onboard, anything is possible. To say this episode goes off the rails is putting it mildly – but on the plus side we learnt that Trent can’t hold his liquor, Ben thinks photos record sound, Space Jam was an event and Rick Moranis is Trent’s muse. So hold on for this crazy ride that also serves as a farewell for one of the team…Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the greatest lesson from Hollywood wasn't about making blockbuster movies—but about living a more focused, creative, and meaningful life?In this episode of One More Thing Before You Go, Michael welcomes Steven Puri, former EVP at DreamWorks and VP at 20th Century Fox, whose career helped shape iconic films including Transformers, Star Trek, Die Hard, and Independence Day. Yet the most compelling story isn't what happened behind the camera—it's what happened within.Steven shares an extraordinary journey from television news anchor to software engineer, from Oscar-winning visual effects producer to Hollywood executive, entrepreneur, and founder. Along the way, he opens up about selling his first company at 28, enduring the disappointment of failed startups, and discovering that success without purpose is never enough.Together, Michael and Steven explore why flow—that rare state where focus, creativity, and performance align—may be one of the most valuable skills we can cultivate in an age of constant distraction. They discuss how setbacks reshape identity, why failure often becomes our greatest teacher, and how purpose emerges when we stop chasing achievement and start pursuing what truly matters.Whether you're a creator, entrepreneur, leader, or simply searching for greater clarity and fulfillment, this conversation offers practical insights into unlocking your best work—and perhaps your best self.In this episode, you'll discover:Why flow states unlock peak creativity and performanceThe surprising lessons Hollywood taught about storytelling and human natureHow failure can become the catalyst for reinventionWhy focus is becoming one of the world's rarest—and most valuable—skillsPractical ways to create the conditions for deeper work, creativity, and fulfillmentSometimes the biggest breakthroughs don't happen on a movie set.

[School of Everything Else 2026] This is a commissioned show for AJ. We recorded it several months ago, but banked it until the long-awaited release of Christopher Nolan's Odyssey. It is an independent, serialised concept musical, released across nine digital EPs from December 2022 through to December 2024 by Jorge Rivera-Herrans (who also plays Odysseus, amongst others). And this took a certain portion of the Internet by storm, garnering fan projects to animate each of the songs, all of which you can find assembled here in one 2h 22m work of collaborative passion made on one iota the budget of Nolan's IMAX titan. Willow showed this to us on Christmas day and the music and handling of the many characters really stuck with us. This is the most excited I've been about a musical since Hamilton and the original Moana. Statistically, almost none of you have heard this, so we specifically crafted this show to introduce what Jorge and company achieved here and hopefully get a bunch of new people with these catchy-ass songs bouncing round their heads. This is DreamWorks' Prince of Egypt and Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas to Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods & Kings and his Robin Hood. This week's After School Club: Ulysses 31 Next week: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Today's guest is Michael Bedenbaugh, a political analyst and author, whose latest book, Reviving Our Republic: 95 Theses for the Future of America, argues the need for political renewal in the United States and presents recommendations for such reforms in a historical context. Mike's diverse background includes five years of service in the US Navy, as well as previously serving as president and executive director of Preservation South Carolina, working to protect and preserve the state's historic places. In this episode, Alon and Mike discuss American politics – the impact of the ill-fated war on Iran on the United States and the damage it has done to the country's alliances, what we can expect to see in a post-Donald Trump country, the current divisions within the US, and how we can heal this great divide. Full bio American author and political thinker Mike Bedenbaugh is a respected voice in constitutional principles and American governance, historic preservation, and community development. Born with a reverence for history, he served as the former president and executive director of Preservation South Carolina, where he led numerous initiatives that demonstrated the economic and cultural value of historic preservation. Mike's diverse background includes five years of service in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS South Carolina, studies in international studies and history at the University of South Carolina and Columbia University, and leadership roles in both nonprofit and for-profit sectors. He was CEO of Post No Bills, Inc., a product marketing firm that collaborated with corporate powerhouses like Phillip Morris USA, RCA Records, DreamWorks, Universal Pictures, and MGM. He has also served on his hometown's city council while his efforts in community revitalization and historic preservation earned him the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina's highest civilian honor. As a member of Preservation Action in Washington, D.C., he continues to advocate for policies that strengthen local communities and honor America's heritage. A native of Prosperity, South Carolina, Michael remains deeply involved in his home state's development while contributing to national discussions on governance and civic engagement. His work exemplifies the principle that understanding the past is crucial to shaping a better future. His book, Reviving Our Republic: 95 Theses for the Future of America, is an outcome of his lifelong passion for his community, state, and nation, and was inspired by America's founding fathers and the principles that birthed a nation. Mike firmly believes the American South has had a profound impact on shaping the political culture of the USA, asserting that one cannot truly understand America without understanding South Carolina. His perspective as a descendant of twelve generations of white Southern landowners provides a grassroots understanding of the unique traditions that define Southern culture. He aims to share the real lived experience of the South, reflecting the complexity and richness of Southern history and its impact on the broader American story. Driven by a mission to revitalize America's founding ideals, Mike hosts the podcast Reviving Our Republic with Mike Bedenbaugh, where he explores the intersection of history, politics, and community development. His unique approach combines grassroots activism with a deep understanding of constitutional intent, offering fresh insights into modern political challenges within the United States.

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 26! Our guests today are Jolene Gutierrez and Chris Sasaki… two of the creators of the picture book Unbreakable: A Japanese American Family in an American Incarceration Camp, Published by Abrams. It's an incredibly moving story cowritten by Minoru (Min) Tonai, an advocate for Japanese American rights. Unbreakable is a great balance of historical information, lived experiences for Tonai and his family, and the emotional challenges they faced during their incarceration in the Amache "camp" during World War II, as they campaigned to release Tonai's father from the FBI. The book does a great job of balancing a very serious topic and making it accessible to younger audiences. Jolene Gutiérrez is an award-winning neurodivergent teacher librarian who has been working with neurodivergent learners at Denver Academy since 1995. Jolene writes for young readers and hopes her books will help some readers feel seen and will inspire others to learn and grow in compassion. She is the winner of the 2025 Crystal Kite Award for the Southwest Region. In addition to Unbreakable, Jolene's work includes Mamiachi and Me: My Mami's Mariachi Band (co-authored with her son Dakota); The Ofrenda That We Built (co-authored with her daughter Shaian); Too Much! An Overwhelming Day; the Stars of Latin Pop series; Bionic Beasts: Saving Animal Lives with Artificial Flippers, Legs, and Beaks; and Mac and Cheese and the Personal Space Invader. Chris Sasaki is an EMMY and ANNIE award-winning animation artist. With a rich career spanning over several high-profile studios, they have directed and developed content for Pixar, Tonko House, and Apple. Their impressive portfolio includes collaborations with LAIKA Entertainment, Blue Sky Studios, Disney Television Animation, DreamWorks, and the Jim Henson Company. In addition to their animation work, Chris is a celebrated figure in the literary world, known for their captivating picture books. Their titles include GHOST; Home is a Window; Animal Architects; Sakamoto's Swim Club; and of course, the incredible Paper Son: The Inspiring Story of Tyrus Wong, Immigrant and Artist. Their illustrations have earned them the prestigious Dilys Evans Founders Award from the Society of Illustrators. To learn more about Jolene, you can find her online at jolenegutierrez.com or on Facebook, Bluesky, Instagram, or Threads @writerjolene. To learn more about Chris, you can find them online at csasaki.com or on Instagram @christopher_sasaki. We highly recommend getting your own copy of Unbreakable (preferably from the Japanese American National Museum). And if you're an educator or know an educator, then please share the educator's guide that can be found on Jolene's site as well as some coloring sheets on Chris's site.
