Podcasts about DreamWorks

Carmina and Patch catch up on all the goings on with the Filipino diaspora and its seeming upward trajectory in pop culture from the world of sports, music, and film. They recall how the “second golden age” of Filipino pop culture in the ‘70s and ‘80s paved the way for what might be its “third golden age” today. Listen in as they chat about the most consequential pop influences of the past who laid the foundation for those blazing the trail today. Their call to action: support our kababayans who are contributing to our representation on the global stage, including watching Forgotten Island, the upcoming Dreamworks animation featuring our very own Filipino mythology!Learn more: APO Hiking Society and the riotous seventies — PhilSTAR Life, DreamWorks official page for Forgotten Island, Criterion to release Lino Brocka's ‘Maynila sa Mga Kuko ng Liwanag' on Independence Day 2018, and HOW CONCERNED ARTISTS OF THE PHILIPPINES GREW AS A RESPONSE TO MARTIAL LAW. Visit https://filtrip.buzzsprout.com.

Two conversations capturing what the union movement looks like right now — one tracing how remote animation workers at DreamWorks won their first collective bargaining agreement and one showing what the national data says about where the labor movement is headed. Animation Guild TAG Local 839 IATSE field rep Mairghread Scott and DreamWorks character rigger and negotiating committee member JJ Jay discuss the first collective bargaining agreement covering DreamWorks remote workers, ratified August 21, 2026 with 97% in favor and 83% turnout. The contract delivers free single healthcare coverage through the Motion Picture Industry plan with a family cap of $50 per month regardless of family size, a 52% wage increase for the lowest-paid workers, an end to the practice of paying remote workers less based on where they live and an automatic employer retirement contribution of 6% of union base wages requiring no employee contribution. Jay said his personal healthcare savings under the contract amount to approximately $6,900 annually compared to what DreamWorks was offering non-union employees. Scott said the key to getting it done was workers who knew their worth and were willing to stand together. Then, Illinois Economic Policy Institute economist Frank Manzo discusses the 12th Annual State of the Union Study, produced in coordination with the Project for Middle Class Renewal at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The study found that the United States added more than 411,000 union members last year, the largest one-year surge since 2008, with union membership growing three times faster in states that protect collective bargaining rights than in states with so-called "right-to-work" laws. Workers in so-called "right-to-work" states earn 8% less than their peers in collective bargaining states after adjusting for cost of living, a gap that has widened since 2019. The highest union membership rates nationally are among Black workers, military veterans and workers with advanced degrees. And the Trump administration's attempt to revoke collective bargaining rights from more than one million federal workers drove a surge in public sector organizing that helped push the national total to its highest point in nearly two decades.

DreamWorks co-founder and former Walt Disney Studios exec Jeffrey Katzenberg is starting an AI animation studio, and Disney is hiring multiple heads of AI. BlueSky is melting down, of course.

Today on Black Dragon Biker TV:A Black woman on a motorcycle and a white man in a big truck turn a red light into a lecture. He says she was riding too slow and that he never went that slow when he rode. Was that advice — or should he have stayed in his lane? We talk respect on two wheels vs. a cage driver who thinks the throttle is a personality.What did Laurence Fishburne actually ride as Smoke, “King of Cali,” in Biker Boyz (2003)? A customized 1999 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R — stretched swingarm, slammed, silver/gold-magenta paint. Fastest production bike on earth when it dropped. Fishburne is a real rider (Guggenheim Motorcycle Club). Derek Luke's Kid was on a GSX-R750. Dogg: ZX-12R. The movie put Black sportbike culture on a studio screen. It also did $23.5 million on a $24 million budget and sits at 22% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's one reason there was never a Biker Boyz II. Hollywood doesn't greenlight sequels to “almost broke even” street-racing movies. The culture didn't need DreamWorks to keep riding.Thank you to the generous subscriber who sent Tahmehrah's cat tree.

El Festival de San Sebastián cierra la última edición de José Luis Rebordinos con buen sabor de boca. A todo el cine español, representado en competición con tres películas, se suman otros títulos destacados como la última película de Mike Leigh, ‘Tending loving care', o la tragicomedia ‘The Debut' con una fantástica Julianne Moore. A la espera del palmarés, os contamos nuestra películas favoritas y repasamos los estrenos, con la aventura extrema de Brad Pitt en ‘El corazón de la bestia', ‘La bola negra' de los Javis y la nueva apuesta de Dreamworks en animación, ‘La isla olvidada'. En 30 minutos os ponemos al día de todo el cine y las series. 

La última entrega del de cine de Radio Castilla-La Mancha, conducida por Roberto Lancha, sitúa en el centro del debate cultural uno de los estrenos más ambiciosos y comentados de la temporada: La bola negra. Con un tono dinámico y fiel a su estilo incisivo pero cómplice, el espacio analiza el impacto de esta producción, la cual ya genera una imparable corriente de opiniones en las salas antes incluso de su llegada oficial a la cartelera. El programa examina a fondo las claves de esta obra, abriendo interrogantes sobre su duración, su alcance ante el gran público y su capacidad para competir frente a potentes propuestas norteamericanas como la protagonizada por Brad Pitt. Además, la emisión repasa otros grandes atractivos de la cartelera otoñal, destacando la apuesta de animación 'La isla olvidada', respaldada por el sello de DreamWorks, y rinde homenaje al trigésimo aniversario de un hito romántico del cine contemporáneo con la icónica 'El paciente inglés'. Todo ello aderezado con el análisis musical del crítico Ángel Luque.

reamworks Animation's The Forgotten Island Movie Review! Grab your D-BOX tickets here: https://www.cinemark.com/movies/resid... Here's my spoiler-free Out Of Theater Reaction and review for DreamWorks Animation's The Forgotten Island, starring H.E.R., Liza Soberano, Dave Franco and Lea Salonga. I went in knowing very little and had an absolute blast—this movie made me laugh, made me cry more than once and left me emotionally exhausted in the best, most cathartic way. Directors Joel Crawford and Januel P. Mercado deliver a visually stunning adventure rooted in Filipino culture, mythology and folklore, with animation that blends comic-book imagery, anime influences and traditional Filipino art. H.E.R. and Liza Soberano bring so much heart to Jo and Raissa's friendship, while Dave Franco nearly steals the movie as Raww. It's funny, weird, heartfelt, surprisingly intense and packed with meaningful ideas about friendship, memory, change and the stories we carry with us. This is a true feast for the senses and one of DreamWorks' most imaginative original movies in years.

Layla Minoui is an acclaimed film and television composer whose work has included projects with Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix, and other major productions. Following a cancer diagnosis, her relationship with music shifted in profound ways. During treatment, she began improvising at the piano, creating music as a way to process her experience and navigate her own healing journey. Those improvisations eventually became Journey to Rebirth, an immersive musical experience inviting listeners into reflection, journaling, embodied practices, and intentional listening. Layla shares how moving from composing for other people's stories to creating from her own lived experience changed her relationship with music and creativity. She explores the role music played during treatment, the evolution of those intimate piano improvisations into Journey to Rebirth, and her understanding of healing as an ongoing practice rather than a destination. The conversation also explores what music can offer that words sometimes cannot, the importance of slowing down and creating space for stillness and deep listening, and the ways our cultural backgrounds can shape how we experience and create music. Layla discusses her Iranian-American heritage, her studies in Expressive Arts Coaching and Community Building, and her vision for bringing music and creative experiences into hospitals, schools, and wellness settings. A thoughtful conversation about music, creativity, healing, transformation, and the power of listening. https://www.journeytorebirthmusic.com/ Natalie Brown, host of Sounds Heal Podcast, founder of Sounds Heal Studio, Sound Healing Academy Lead Teacher for North America: http://www.soundshealstudio.com http://www.facebook.com/soundshealstudio http://www.instagram.com/nataliebrownsoundsheal http://www.youtube.com/soundshealstudio Email: soundshealstudio@gmail.com Music by Natalie Brown, Hope & Heart http://www.youtu.be/hZPx6zJX6yA

Sorry for the delay on the audio! Before I got married, I had the urge to get back to the Big G and the next movie up to bat was King Kong vs Godzilla. Thanks to The Criterion Collection, we were able to watch the original version of the film and not the chopped up American version. I did skim through that version to see what was up and yeah... You aren't missing much. Actually, you're missing a lot but i'll tell you all about it and Chris will tell you his thoughts on every DreamWorks animated film, in order!

Grab your onions, this week, Reese and Iman are entering The Cult of Shrek, a fandom that somehow evolved from a beloved children's movie into an online religion (or dare we say... cult). Joining them are Bechdel Cast hosts (@bechdelcast) Caitlin Durante (@caitlindurante) and Jamie Loftus (@jamiechristsuperstar), two certified Shrek scholars whose devotion includes transatlantic Shrek tourism, academic conferences, a $200 themed dinner, and, in Jamie's case, selling roughly 200 green-painted Shrek nudes for Planned Parenthood. Together, they get into why Shrek inspires such a uniquely sincere brand of irony, why Shrek 2 may actually be a feminist masterpiece, and how fans apparently bullied DreamWorks into reconsidering Chad Shrek. Is Shrek love? Is Shrek life? We're heading far far away into the swamp to find out.

Re-Issue ep from 4th Feb 2020 - Today on the Toy Power Podcast, we welcome another international guest all the way from Canada, Mr Colin Betts! While he's a Patreon and passionate toy collector he also delves into a oft-forgotten world of Toy Catalogues. But these aren't the small paper ones you get with your toys, these are big retail tomes sent by Hasbro, Mattel etc to help sell their wares in a time before PDFs! Colin gives us the history, some wonderful stories and tricks of the trade when it comes to these important historical documents.

With a heart-felt tribute to some of the recent passings; we reflect on what some of these larger than life people have done; & how each of them will be missed. Then we chat towards the very lack-luster reveal of King Hiss from the MOTU Chronicles line.

McFarlane wrap things up with their Wave 16 of DC Super Powers - with an interesting line-up of Characters. But with this being the finale; who are we missing from this overall toy line-up? PlayStation One are getting the Lego treatment; which honestly looks great; but what is with their Easter Egg game choices?! Then we pivot into a general chat towards Latest Scores & then followed up with Reading / Playing / Watching. An overall fun episode - if not for Ben continually tripping over his sentences!

Send us Fan MailDo you really lack discipline or are you trying to maintain healthy habits while already carrying more than you have the capacity to handle?In this episode, I'm joined by Gamal J. Palmer, founder and principal of Conscious Builders.Gamal has nearly two decades of experience working with executives, leaders, and organizations, including DreamWorks, Nike, Nestlé, Universal Studios, and NBCUniversal. His work combines behavioral science, systems thinking, self-awareness, and practical tools for building sustainable change.We discuss why healthy habits often disappear during stressful periods, why willpower fades by the end of the day, and how unrealistic promises can slowly damage self-trust.Gamal explains why people may interpret exhaustion, poor sleep, emotional stress, or an overloaded schedule as laziness—and why asking better questions can be more useful than criticizing yourself.We also explore why food, alcohol, scrolling, and other behaviors can become an emotional off switch, why removing a habit without replacing it often fails, and how small commitments can help you rebuild confidence in your ability to follow through.In this episode, you'll learn:• What “capacity” means in the context of healthy habits• Why lacking capacity is different from lacking motivation• How negative self-talk reinforces the belief that you are undisciplined• Three questions to ask before calling yourself lazy• Why healthy habits often disappear when life becomes stressful• Why willpower tends to fade after a demanding day• How food, alcohol, television, and scrolling can become an off switch• Why removing a habit without replacing it leaves an empty space• How small acts can help you build discipline and self-trust• Why unrealistic promises create feelings of failure• How minimum commitments can be more powerful than ambitious plans• Why habits need to survive real-life disruptions• How to use minimum, medium, and full versions of a habit• What to do during low-capacity weeks• How to notice a setback without turning it into self-punishmentConnect with Gamal J.

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.
