At 16, Matt Ebert wrecked his car twice. The first one was totaled. The second time, he was too afraid to file an insurance claim, certain it would cost him his coverage and with it his newfound freedom to drive. So he found a man in town who worked a day job and fixed cars at night in his garage, and asked to be taught.He has been in collision repair ever since. Today he is the founder and CEO of Crash Champions, with more than 650 locations, 11,000 employees, 60,000 cars repaired every month, and $3 billion in revenue. He calls that 5 percent of his market and says it is nowhere near enough.In this episode, recorded at PodCrash Studios in Chicago, Bart Berkey asks Matt the question this show is built on: what do you do that most people don't? What follows is the conversation most CEO interviews never reach. Kmart clothes and split kids' meals. A paper route that taught him to collect, hold, pay, and keep the difference. One hundred thousand dollars cash advanced on credit cards for four Subway franchises that never made money, and a return to the body shop floor to cover the bills. A mind that has never once treated quitting as an option.Matt is candid about the parts that do not fit on a highlight reel. Why he is most comfortable at the bottom of the rollercoaster and most nervous at the top. Why he still cannot sleep. What the drive has cost his wife and his kids, and why he measures the quality of his time with them rather than the quantity. And why, at Crash Champions, repairing the car is only the ante. The real work is trust, delivered to people on the worst day of their week, across 650 locations he cannot personally stand in.His answer to the closing question is one word longer than you expect, and it reframes everything before it: most people don't get curious enough.Most people fix what is broken and move on. Matt Ebert built a company around leaving things better than he found them.Key takeawaysThink bigger than the room you are in. Matt's answer to "what do you do that most people don't" was immediate: he thinks bigger, and he pushes the people around him to do the same. It was not there at 16. It got built.The wreck was the doorway. Two crashes at 16 and a fear of losing his driving freedom sent him into a neighbor's garage to learn collision repair. The problem he was trying to avoid became the career.He is not naturally good at anything, and that is the advantage. "I can't sing, I can't dance, I don't have athletic ability." What he learned instead was that he can figure almost anything out if he reads about it, asks about it, and practices it.Better is the whole business. Landscaping, construction, collision repair, all of it is transformation. "I want people to think their life has been better for having me involved in it." Bart's frame for it: easy to be, but better to become.Learn more at mattebert.com and crashchampion.com Listen to PodCrash with Matt Ebert wherever you get your podcasts Follow Matt: LinkedIn, Instagram @mattebertcc, X @MattEbertCC, Facebook @MattEbertCC

Dr. Dave Ebert one of the worlds foremost experts on Sharks, returns for his annual appearance on the show…..Always fascinating! Dr. Dave Ebert

Mostly Film – Take 245: Harrison Ford In Review — Episode 5The persona episode. Jonathan and JP cover three films that each do something deliberately different with Harrison Ford's screen identity — and the results range from underseen gem to all-time blockbuster to one of the more quietly audacious casting decisions of the 1990s.First, Sabrina. Sydney Pollack got Billy Wilder's blessing before he agreed to direct. Winona Ryder turned down the lead because she couldn't face Audrey Hepburn's shadow. Greg Kinnear stepped into his first starring role fresh from hosting Talk Soup on E! Paul Giamatti shows up in a small part. And Ford plays a romantic lead — gentle, comedic, slowly and reluctantly falling in love — in a genre he'd never really inhabited. It made $87 million. Ebert gave it four stars. Ford has called it underrated. The question: does Ford actually work as a romantic lead, or is he always slightly more interesting when he has something to push against?Then Air Force One. Kevin Costner turned it down for The Postman. Ford called the White House himself to get access to the real plane. Randy Newman wrote the entire score, Petersen hated it, Jerry Goldsmith replaced him with twelve days to deliver something new — and part of Newman's rejected work was reportedly recycled into Toy Story 3. Ford insisted Gary Oldman actually punch him in the face. 'Egor Korshunov' is credited as 'Ivan Korshunov' in the end titles. $315 million worldwide. Ford's last film to cross $300 million. The Wall Street Journal ranked President Marshall the greatest fictional president in screen history. 'Get off my plane.' The question: is Air Force One a great film or a great movie — and is there a difference?Then What Lies Beneath. Made by Robert Zemeckis during the production pause on Cast Away while Tom Hanks was losing weight and befriending a volleyball. Screenplay by Clark Gregg — later Agent Coulson. Ford and Pfeiffer together cost $35 million of the $100 million budget. Zemeckis's casting logic was simple: the twist only works if the audience cannot conceive of Harrison Ford as a killer. Pfeiffer is functionally the lead despite equal billing. The bathtub sequence is considered some of the finest technical suspense work Zemeckis has ever done. The question: does the central gambit — using Ford's trustworthiness against the audience — actually work?Air Force One is the last time Ford was the biggest movie star in the world. What Lies Beneath is the last genuinely good original film he made before a long run of misfires.

Frank and Mere are finally both at home and recorded a new episode! Some very happy Echelon News including great workouts and personal best resets! Mere got married ( to the same guy she's already married to) and Frank is officially marathon training ( and California Dreaming). Lots of stuff is being watched and a game of Siskel and Ebert ensues.

Feeling flat in a job that looks good on paper isn't ingratitude — it's information, and most advice culture offers ("follow your passion" or "just be grateful") skips the actual work of reading it. In this episode, Brett Ingram explains why a decent job is often harder to leave than a bad one, introduces the psychological concept behind why we tolerate "not bad enough" for years, and walks through a four-question "quiet audit" — plus one small experiment — for finding out whether you're bored, misaligned, or just in a different season of life, without gambling your paycheck to do it. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why a job that's "good enough" is often harder to leave than one that's genuinely bad — and the psychological trap that keeps you stuck in it The region beta paradox: why we recover faster from intensely bad experiences than from mildly bad ones, and what that means for a job you can't quite bring yourself to leave The two default scripts culture hands you ("follow your passion" and "just be grateful") — and why both are ways to skip the actual work of finding out what's true The difference between being bored and being misaligned, and a one-question test to tell which one you're actually dealing with Why "this no longer fits" and "this was a mistake" are two completely different statements — and why conflating them keeps people frozen The four anchors that quietly keep people in jobs that no longer fit them: money, identity, loyalty, and comfort Why clarity comes from action, not more thinking — and the small, reversible experiment to run before you decide anything Episode Timestamps [0:00] Introduction — the unhappiness nobody feels sorry for [2:00] Brett's own story: the ceiling that didn't match his ambition [4:00] The real problem — you've been auditing the wrong thing [5:00] The region beta paradox: why "not bad enough" is the hardest thing to leave [7:00] The two scripts culture hands you, and why both let you skip the work [9:00] Introducing the Quiet Audit — four questions and one move [9:00] Question 1: Am I bored, or am I misaligned? [11:00] Question 2: Is this a wrong job, or a changed season? [12:00] Question 3: What am I actually staying for — a reason or a fear? [17:00] Question 4: What could I learn about this without quitting? [19:00] Mr. Tanner, and the difference between a love and a livelihood [21:00] The two-week practice: track your energy, notice yourself, run one experiment [23:00] Closing thought — it's a compass, not a complaint Episode Summary There's a specific kind of unhappiness that nobody feels sorry for: a job you're good at, a paycheck that's solid, people who trust you — and underneath all of it, a quiet, persistent "is this it?" Brett Ingram opens this episode by naming that tension precisely, because the vagueness of it is what makes it so hard to act on. It's not dread. It's not misery. It's a low hum, a flatness on a Monday that isn't crisis-shaped enough to justify doing anything about it — which is exactly the problem. Brett's central argument is that most people are asking the wrong question. The instinct is to audit the job — is it good enough? — and by any reasonable measure, a decent job keeps passing that audit, which is exactly why the feeling doesn't go away. "The job may not have changed at all," Brett says. "You changed. What you need from your work at forty-two is not what you needed at thirty." The role didn't get worse; the fit got looser, and a loose fit is much harder to notice than a bad one. To explain why a mildly wrong job is so much stickier than an obviously bad one, Brett brings in the region beta paradox, a concept from a 2004 paper by psychologist Daniel Gilbert and colleagues (with the memorable title "The Peculiar Longevity of Things Not So Bad"). The finding: people often recover faster from intensely bad experiences than from mildly bad ones, because acute pain trips an alarm and forces a decision, while mild, tolerable discomfort never does. You can survive a "good enough" job for years, one bearable day at a time, because nothing about it ever forces the question. As Brett puts it, the salary, the competence, and the routine "aren't the reward for staying — they're the reason you stop asking the question." From there, Brett dismantles the two scripts most people default to when this feeling surfaces. The first — "life is short, follow your passion, go" — is seductive but skips the actual work; research on career change shows passion is usually the result of investment, not the cause of it. The second — "be grateful, plenty of people would kill for what you have" — weaponizes real gratitude into a gag order, when the truth is you can be genuinely thankful for a job and still have outgrown it. Both scripts let you avoid the actual question: what specifically is going on here, and what would it take to find out? That's where Brett introduces the Quiet Audit — four questions and one small move, none of which require quitting anything to start. Question one separates boredom (fixable inside the job — a new project, a harder challenge) from misalignment (the work itself, done well, still points away from what you now care about). The test: imagine the dream version of this exact job — best boss, best pay, best project. If that fixes it, you're bored. If it still feels wrong, that's alignment, and no internal move touches that. Question two reframes "wrong job" versus "changed season" — an important distinction, because "this no longer fits" is not the same claim as "this was a mistake." Question three is the most honest one: what are you actually staying for, and is it a reason or a fear? Brett names four anchors that quietly hold people in place — money (and more specifically, the lifestyle built to consume it, not the salary itself), identity (who am I if I'm not this?), loyalty to people who believe in you, and plain comfort. And question four is the one that actually breaks the paralysis, drawing on research from London Business School professor Herminia Ibarra: we don't think our way into a new direction, we act our way into it. Clarity isn't what you get before you move — it's what movement produces. The episode closes with a two-week practice built from all of it: track your energy (not your hours) and note one moment a day that gave you energy and one that drained it; notice when you feel most like yourself; and run one small, reversible experiment — a conversation, an adjacent project, a single afternoon doing the thing you're curious about — not to decide, but to learn. That's the whole shift Brett is after: from an inside question you keep answering with outside numbers, to actual information you gather on purpose. It connects directly to the fit between your work and the life you're actually living now — the ongoing question underneath most of what optYOUmize means by purpose and meaningful work. Resources Mentioned "The Peculiar Longevity of Things Not So Bad" — Jane E. J. Ebert and Daniel T. Gilbert, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2004 — origin of the "region beta paradox" concept discussed in this episode Herminia Ibarra, Working Identity: Unconventional Strategies for Reinventing Your Career — source of the "act your way into a new way of thinking" research on career change "Mr. Tanner" — song by Harry Chapin, referenced for the line "Music was his life, it was not his livelihood" Up in the Air (2009 film) — referenced for its portrayal of a life optimized on the outside but hollow underneath Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if I should leave a job I'm good at? Start by separating boredom from misalignment. Imagine the dream version of your exact job — best boss, best pay, best project. If that fixes how you feel, you're likely bored, which is usually solvable where you are. If the dream version still feels wrong, that's misalignment, and no internal move — a promotion, a raise, a new manager — will touch it. What is the region beta paradox, and why does it make a decent job so hard to leave? It's a psychological finding, from a 2004 paper by Jane Ebert and Daniel Gilbert, that people often recover faster from intensely bad experiences than from mildly bad ones. An acutely bad job trips an alarm and forces a decision. A mildly wrong job never does — it's tolerable enough, day to day, that nothing forces the question, so people can stay stuck in a low-grade wrong fit for years. What's the difference between a job that's actually wrong and one I've just outgrown? "This no longer fits" and "this was a mistake" are different claims. A job can have been genuinely right for who you were at 30 and genuinely wrong for who you are at 42 — the role didn't get worse, your needs changed. Treating a changed season as a mistake is what keeps a lot of people frozen, because it turns a normal evolution into something to regret. What are the real reasons people stay in jobs they've outgrown? Brett names four anchors: money (often it's the lifestyle built around the salary, not the salary itself), identity (who am I if I'm not this role), loyalty to people who believe in you, and plain comfort — the pull of the familiar. None of these are character flaws, but it's worth being honest about which ones are actually holding you. Do I have to quit my job to figure out if I should leave? No — and Brett argues that's the wrong approach entirely. Citing research from Herminia Ibarra, the episode makes the case that clarity comes from small, reversible action, not more thinking: a single conversation, an adjacent project, or one afternoon spent doing the work you're curious about will teach you more than months of lying awake weighing it in your head. Is it ungrateful to want to leave a good job? No. The episode's core distinction is that gratitude and outgrowing something aren't mutually exclusive — you can be genuinely thankful for a job and still know it's no longer yours. Framing the question as a gratitude test is one of the two scripts Brett says people should retire, because it lets you avoid finding out what's actually true. What is the "quiet audit" from this episode? It's a four-question framework plus one small move, done privately over two weeks: (1) am I bored or misaligned, (2) is this a wrong job or a changed season, (3) what am I actually staying for — a reason or a fear, and (4) what could I learn about this without quitting. Alongside the questions, you track your daily energy, notice when you feel most like yourself, and run one small, reversible experiment.

"Don't buy him letters." That's what a professional told Cari Ebert when her son Aaron was two. He was "obsessed," they said, and needed to be moved toward more appropriate play. Cari ignored them. Those letters were how Aaron showed joy, and how she connected with him. Nearly two decades later, that same deep interest in letters, numbers, and dates is what landed him a job he loves. That moment is the heart of today's episode, because it's exactly what happens when we treat autism as a journey instead of a tragedy. This is Cari's keynote from this year's Preschool Autism Summit. She brings two lenses to it: 30+ years as a pediatric SLP, and 21 years as mom to her autistic son. Together they make a case that so much of what we were taught to fear, grieve, and "fix" was never the problem. The problem was the language, the linear milestones, and the compliance-first thinking we inherited. Cari walks us through Aaron's whole story, from spelling words before he could speak, to teaching himself to tie his shoes at 20, to reading bedtime stories to his baby nephew. Along the way she gives us a clearer, kinder way to talk to families and a real shift in how we show up for autistic children. We'll talk about: why the child is exactly the same the day after a diagnosis, and it's the adults who need to shift the power of first messages, and how "red flags" teach families to fear a diagnosis deficit-based language versus affirming, neutral, strengths-based language what autism is not, and what it actually is the spiky, non-linear developmental profile reframing the spectrum into a support-needs profile honoring autistic joy as the doorway to connection and learning Because we don't get to decide where an autistic child's journey ends. Our job is to keep believing there's more ahead. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why autism is a journey, not a tragedy, and what changes when we lead with curiosity instead of fear How deficit-driven language sends the message that something is "wrong" with the child, and how to choose affirming or neutral language instead Why autism is not a delay, a disease, or something a child outgrows What a spiky developmental profile is, and why milestone charts don't fit autistic development How to give families space to grieve their expectations, not the child in front of them What presuming potential looks like in real life, including how video modeling helped Aaron learn a skill on his own timeline Why deep interests, from Metallica to NASCAR, are the way in, not something to redirect Key Takeaways The diagnosis doesn't change the child; it changes how the adults see and support them Regulation creates the conditions for learning, and connection comes before communication All behavior has meaning; it's a clue, not a problem to extinguish Progress isn't linear, and growth continues across the whole lifespan Communication is a right, not something a child has to earn Autistic children are different, not less We stretch strengths instead of fixing deficits Families are the experts on their child, and the most important members of the team Try This Take one traditional IEP goal and ask AI to rewrite it in neurodiversity-affirming language, without percentage-of-accuracy measures Swap deficit words for neutral ones this week: "deep interests" instead of "obsessions," "prefers consistency" instead of "rigid" Learn one child's deep interest, and use it as your starting point instead of redirecting it Reframe a behavior you'd usually try to stop, and ask what it's communicating about the nervous system Notice a child's glimmers, the small things that bring them micro-moments of joy, and make room for them Start with connection before you ask for a single communication skill Related Resources & Links Cari Ebert's website - The Learning to Learn program, the Silly Sounds cards, and The SLP Talk Show podcast Preschool Autism Summit 2026 - Grab the summit replay bundle, a free guide, and get on the waitlist for 2027 Autism Little Learners Membership When we treat autism as a journey instead of a tragedy, we stop asking a child to prove they're worthy of our belief and start offering it from the very beginning. Cari's son didn't become worthy the day he got a job or gave a keynote. He was always worthy. Once you see every autistic child that way, it changes everything about how you teach.

That's a mindset problem — and this week we're digging into it.In this episode, we're talking about the thoughts that quietly run bridal alterations businesses: the "what if she doesn't book me if I raise my prices," the "I can't trust anyone else to touch my brides' gowns," the "I have to answer right now or I'll lose her." Turns out, there's data on how often those thoughts are actually true — and it's a lot less often than it feels like.In this episode, you'll learn:The 97% vs. 3% thought model for catching scarcity thinking before it runs your dayHow the "hustle loop" shows up specifically in bridal alterations and fitting businessesWhy setting clear expectations with brides (communication windows, waiting room policies, package inclusions) builds more trust, not lessThe golden rule for client communication: you're responsible for what you clearly explain, your bride is only responsible for what you told herWhy not responding instantly to an anxious bride is often the most helpful thing you can doA daily gratitude practice for shifting out of scarcity mindsetHow mindset work translates directly into pricing confidence and revenue growthMentioned in this episode:The Anxious Generation — this month's SBS Book Club pickThe Artist's Way by Julia CameronConnect with Ashley: https://theabundance.group Connect with Nadine:Check out the exclusive private podcast series, Fitting Packages 101: https://enchanting-sun-77080.myflodesk.com/privatepodcastBecome a member: https://secretsofabridalseamstresspodcast.com/membershipInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/secretsofabridalseamstress/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nadinebozemanYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@secretsofabridalseamstress/

After Lorenna Bobbitt's husband John sexually assaulted her at their home in Virginia in the summer of 1993, she retaliated by waiting until he was asleep, she decided to fight back. Following the attack, Lorena fled the house in her car and eventually pulled over to the side of the road to call 911 and report the incident, at which time she was arrested. Though salacious, this incident of domestic violence would likely have gone unnoticed by the rest of the American public; however, at the time, debates about domestic violence and marital rape were raging and the Bobbitt case came to serve as an example of the consequences and effects of that violence, for arguments on both sides. As a result, the Bobbitt case became one of the most high-profile criminal cases in the country—and then it became a national joke. References Anolik, Lili. 2018. "Lorena Bobbitt's American Dream."

Your Stupid Minds fulfills the Siskel and Ebert prophecy and reviews 1993's Cop & ½ (or Cop and a Half, if you prefer English). Starring Burt Reynolds, Norman D. Holden II, Ruby Dee, and Ray Sharkey. Directed by Henry Winkler. Devon Butler (Golden) is an 8-year-old kid who's obsessed with being a cop. When he witnesses a mob execution, he negotiates the exchange of evidence for being a police officer for one day. The stupid chief assigns the babysitting role to the oldest and crankiest guy on the force: Nick McKenna (Reynolds). The second act devotes its time mostly in search of a plot. Mob leader Vinnie Fountain (Sharkey) comes to Devon's home and forces the child into witness protection (i.e. Nick's disgusting apartment). Devon pulls over his jerk principal for speeding. A pair of homicidal teenage bullies menace an elementary school hoping to give Devon a swirly at a moment's notice. Nick has a bar fight with a street tough named Bobo. All standard stuff. Eventually the movie settles on a child endangerment angle and Nick must rescue Devon from the mob. Is Nick up to the task? Will there be a boat chase? Was this worse than Carnosaur? You'll have to listen to find out!

Episode Summary Erin and Rachel return to the Hundred Acre Wood for Winnie the Pooh (2011), the sequel to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977). Although it's stuffed with as much fluff as its protagonist, nostalgia and a 69-minute run time make this benign film pleasantly watchable.  Episode Bibliography Anderson, J.

Your Stupid Minds transitions seamlessly from Tammy and the T-Rex to the Roger Corman quickie dino picture Carnosaur, released mere weeks before Jurassic Park. This is the first in a double feature to answer the eternal question posed by Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert: Carnosaur or Cop and a Half. Which is better? Dr. Jane Tiptree (Diane Ladd, yes, Laura Dern's mom) is an evil scientist who attempts to achieve the impossible dream we've all pondered from time to time: can a viral bioweapon developed from genetically modified chickens impregnate all women on the planet with dinosaur embryos in order to replace the human race? She puts her plan into action in the small town of Climax, Nevada. Everyone starts getting sick with a high fever, but it's only the women who give birth to dinosaurs (and die in the process). The dino puppets emerge and immediately begin murdering everyone, mostly local yokels such as "Slim" Friar (Clint Howard, yes, Bryce Dallas Howard's uncle) and a group of tree-hugging hippies protesting environmental destruction. Sheriff Fowler (Harrison Page) and "Doc" Smith (Raphael Sbarge) all try to solve the mystery. Meanwhile, the government swoops in hell-bent on containing the damage, so guys in haz-mat suits blast every infected person with M-16s. Can they find a cure? No. Even Tiptree puts her money where her mouth is and fatally delivers her own dino baby. Can they contain the virus? Also unclear, but I'm going to say no. But at least we get to see some fun dino puppets roaming around. And some locals kill a T-Rex with a forklift. So that's cool. As mentioned above, Siskel and Ebert had a passionate disagreement over Carnosaur. Siskel gave it a thumbs up while Ebert called it one of the worst of the year. Inversely, the next episode's movie, Cop and a Half, had the opposite result. This disagreement comes up repeatedly throughout their 1993 season.

Earlier this year, I had a blast revisiting five of my favorite Joan Cusack performances for RogerEbert.com's Women Writers Week celebration. My friend, the prolific MovieMom.com critic Nell Minow, who also writes and edits for Ebert's site, was my editor for the article, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to bring her back to Watch With Jen to explore a handful of our favorite Cusack roles that I wasn't able to cover in the piece. Touching on almost her entire filmography in this briskly energetic conversation, we pay close attention to WORKING GIRL, TOY STORY 2 (& 5), SCHOOL OF ROCK, MY BLUE HEAVEN, ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES, and several others.Originally Posted on Patreon (7/8/26) here: https://www.patreon.com/FilmIntuition/posts/163253169Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi & PayPalShop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

Phil and Emily are joined by critic and editor Isaac Feldberg to continue their Richard Kelly Reichardt mini-series with Kelly Reichardt's quiet breakthrough, Old Joy (2006). Isaac edits at Letterboxd Journal and writes for RogerEbert.com and Fangoria, and as a former Eagle Scout, he might be the perfect guide to a movie about two guys going camping.Made for roughly $30,000 and shot in the forests east of Portland, Old Joy follows old friends Kurt (Will Oldham) and Mark (Daniel London) on a weekend trip to a hot spring deep in the Cascades. Almost nothing happens, and somehow everything does. It became Reichardt's calling card, earned rapturous reviews including four stars from Roger Ebert, and announced one of American cinema's most quietly essential filmmakers.The gang gets into why Reichardt remains a beloved secret, the kind of filmmaker fans swear will one day get a Criterion box and a wave of "how did we not know about this?" They dig into the ache underneath the film's radical simplicity, the suspense of a friendship that can't quite say what it means, the tender and unspoken queerness running through it, and why these two men sound less like a Richard Linklater hangout and more like real life. Plus Lucy the dog, "the John Cazale of canine performers," the perfect Old Joy double feature, and the image of a slug on a mossy boulder that Ebert never forgot.Why do we remember the small moments more than the big ones? Old Joy has a few answers.

What if the best self-care strategy for school leaders isn't another wellness activity, but learning how to lead from a more regulated place? In this episode of The School Leadership Show, I sit down with Erica Ebert to move beyond the "yoga your way out of it" clichés and talk about what real self-care and regulated leadership look like in schools. Drawing on her 28 years of K-12 experience, Erica shares how mindfulness, self-awareness, and compassion can help leaders better understand themselves, their teams, and the cultures they create. We also discuss why "regulated leaders regulate rooms," and why predictable, psychologically safe environments may be the most powerful form of care leaders can provide. Consider this Erica's official audition as a future guest host. I'm excited to bring her into more conversations as we continue exploring what it means to do the work before the work. Visit Erica's website: ericaebert.com If you have questions, feedback, or suggestions for future episodes, including great non-education books with lessons for school leaders you can email me at Dr.mike.doughty@gmail.com.

Movie of the Year: 2006BrickThe Brick podcast episode of Movie of the Year arrives just in time to appreciate one of 2006's most audacious genre experiments. Ryan, Mike, and Greg are joined by Pete Wright of TruStory FM to dig into Rian Johnson's neo-noir debut, a film that transplants the hard-boiled world of Dashiell Hammett into the hallways and parking lots of a Southern California high school. Few films from this era take a bigger swing, and fewer still land it this cleanly.About Brick (2006)Brick is a neo-noir mystery thriller written, edited, and directed by Rian Johnson in his feature directorial debut. The film opened in New York and Los Angeles on April 7, 2006, distributed by Focus Features. It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Brendan Frye, a teenage loner who pushes his way into the criminal underworld of his high school to investigate the disappearance -- and eventual murder -- of his ex-girlfriend Emily, played by Emilie de Ravin. The supporting cast includes Lukas Haas as the drug kingpin known only as the Pin, Nora Zehetner as the duplicitous Laura, Noah Fleiss as the enforcer Tug, and Richard Roundtree as a vice principal navigating the chaos from the margins.Johnson wrote the first draft in 1997 immediately after graduating from USC School of Cinematic Arts. He spent the next seven years trying to get it made, with every financier asking him to set it in college instead of high school. He ultimately raised approximately $450,000 from friends and family, shot the film in 20 days, and spent three months rehearsing with the cast beforehand. The score -- inventive and deeply atmospheric -- was composed by Johnson's cousin Nathan Johnson using traditional instruments alongside improvised ones including filing cabinets, kitchen utensils, and tack pianos, all recorded on an Apple PowerBook.The film drew on hardboiled classics, particularly the novels of Dashiell Hammett, and won the Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. It holds an 80% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and earned three stars from Roger Ebert, who called it a rich source of dialogue and behavior. You can read Ebert's full review at RogerEbert.com. Brick has since become a cult classic and a clear blueprint for Johnson's later work on Knives Out.Find the full cast and crew listing at Brick on IMDb.Guest Panelist: Pete WrightPete Wright is a podcaster, author, educator, and co-founder of TruStory FM, a podcast production network he has built over more than three decades in media. He has logged thousands of episodes across more than three dozen shows covering film, ADHD, creative process, brand storytelling, and the craft of audio production. His work spans journalism, corporate communications, and graduate-level teaching, where he spent fifteen years working with students on storytelling and media production.Among his best-known projects is The Next Reel Film Podcast, a deep-dive film discussion series that serves as his primary film-critical home. He also co-hosts Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast alongside Nikki Kinzer, an award-winning show with over a million annual downloads and 29 seasons of episodes since its 2010 launch. In 2024, Pete and Nikki co-authored Unapologetically ADHD: A Step-by-Step Framework for Everyday Planning on Your Terms, a practical guide grown directly from the podcast's community and themes. His debut science fiction novella, Lattice, was published in 2026. Pete's most recent podcast venture is Headstone, a personal series about legacy, memory, and the stories we leave behind. He is based in Portland, Oregon. This Brick podcast episode marks his first appearance on Movie of the Year.Brick Podcast Discussion: Noir in High SchoolThe central creative gamble of Brick is not simply that it applies film noir conventions to a high school setting. More precisely, it applies them without irony. Johnson made a deliberate choice to play every scene completely straight, and the cast follows his lead without a single wink at the camera. Consequently, the absurdity of the premise becomes the engine of the film's tension rather than its release valve.This Brick podcast opens with a foundational question: does the noir-in-high-school conceit actually work? The genre's grammar depends heavily on power asymmetry, corruption, and the lone investigator operating outside institutional structures. High school provides all three. Brendan's relationship with the vice principal mirrors the classic detective's uneasy truce with law enforcement. The Pin's basement headquarters functions as the smoky back room. The femme fatale and the enforcer play their archetypal roles without adjustment.Johnson drew specifically on the novels of Dashiell Hammett -- particularly the Continental Op stories -- and encouraged his cast to read Hammett rather than watch noir films. He wanted the stylistic choices to come from the source material, not from imitation of existing screen adaptations. That decision gives Brick a distinctive texture. Moreover, the dialogue mixes actual period noir slang with invented high school vernacular in a way that creates its own self-consistent world. As Roger Ebert noted, the story never fully clarifies itself while it unfolds, but it delivers a rich supply of behavior and incident along the way.Genre Bending: What the Brick 2006 Film Is Actually DoingBrick belongs to a specific 2006 moment when genre recombination was operating at a high creative pitch. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang had landed the previous year playing similar games with noir self-awareness. Sin City had arrived with a maximalist visual approach to the same source material. Brick chose a third path: minimal budget, straight-faced commitment, and an insistence that the formal constraints of the genre could do meaningful emotional work if you simply trusted them.The genre-bending discussion on this Brick podcast examines how Johnson uses the noir framework not as homage but as architecture. The structure of a hardboiled mystery -- the inciting mystery, the series of contacts, the betrayal, the revelation -- maps onto adolescent social hierarchies with surprising precision. Furthermore, the paranoia endemic to the genre translates naturally into the heightened social surveillance of high school life, where everyone watches everyone and information is currency.The Spaghetti Western and Anime InfluencesJohnson has cited Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns and Shinichiro Watanabe's Cowboy Bebop as visual influences alongside the noir literary tradition. That combination matters, because it explains why Brick never feels purely retro. The film's rhythm and its relationship to violence carry a different energy than classic noir. Notably, Johnson used shoes as a design element for each character, treating footwear as an immediate visual shorthand for who each person is. It's a small detail that reflects how thoroughly he thought through every layer of the film's visual language.Additionally, the score by Nathan Johnson uses invented instruments -- wine-o-phones, tack pianos, kitchen utensils -- to create an atmosphere that nods to classic noir without reproducing it. The result is a film that works as genre exercise, coming-of-age story, and tone poem simultaneously.The Treatment of Women in BrickNoir has always had a complicated relationship with its female characters, and Brick inherits that complication without fully interrogating it. Emily exists primarily as a body -- a mystery to be solved, a loss to be avenged. She drives the entire plot but occupies very little of the film's actual screen time. Laura is more present, but her function remains rooted in the femme fatale archetype: beautiful, manipulative, ultimately revealed as the architect of the tragedy.The Brick podcast addresses this directly. Does Johnson's decision to play the genre completely straight mean he also reproduces its blind spots uncritically? The case for the defense is that Brick is a formal exercise, and the female characters serve genre functions that the film deliberately signals as such. The case against is that signaling an archetype and interrogating it are different things, and Brick largely declines to do the latter.Moreover, the pregnancy subplot -- Emily is pregnant with Tug's child, a revelation that triggers her murder -- adds a layer of consequence to the female characters' bodies that the film handles with notable brevity. It functions as a plot mechanism more than a human reality. The discussion examines how this choice shapes the film's emotional center, which ultimately rests entirely with Brendan's grief and not with Emily's life or Laura's survival.Nevertheless, Nora Zehetner's performance as Laura earns genuine complexity within the constraints the script gives her. The hosts explore whether that performance transcends the archetype or simply executes it with exceptional skill.Rushmore: 2006 It BoysThe Taste Buds carve out space in this episode for a Rushmore segment dedicated to the It Boys of 2006 -- the young male actors whose stars were ascending in that specific cultural moment. Brick arrives at a fascinating point in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's career trajectory, before Inception and The Dark Knight Rises made him a mainstream anchor, when he was still operating in the cult-film
