Kelsi and Trey explore Jane Schoenbrun's Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, one of their favorite and strangest movies of the year. They unpack Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson, the fake slasher franchise, Hollywood's obsession with zombie IP, Little Death, Final Girls, queer reclamation, and why Schoenbrun's overwhelming cinematic language can be both exhilarating and deeply uncomfortable. They also discuss “Cinema Dysmorphia," an idea that movies can become so embedded in how we understand ourselves that they help us recognize something about our identity or reality while simultaneously distorting those things. In that way, Camp Miasma becomes a poisoned love letter to horror about the movies that never really leave us.

Kelsi and Trey discuss David Robert Mitchell's The End of Oak Street and Matt Johnson's Tony. First, they unpack why The End of Oak Street's strange mix of Spielbergian sentimentality, camp, parody, dinosaurs, and suburban satire never fully worked for them. Then, they get into Tony, Dominic Sessa's performance as a young Anthony Bourdain, Leo Woodall and Antonio Banderas as competing versions of masculinity, the movie's “huge boy” energy, and whether a biopic can really deconstruct a cultural icon without mythologizing him all over again.Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon hereTikTok: The Extra CreditsThe Extra Credits YouTube ChannelLetterboxd: The Extra CreditsInstagram: @theextracreditsTwitter: @theextracreditsSend requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com
Kelsi and Trey explore One Night Only, the new romantic comedy that is completely unromantic, unsexy, and unfunny.

Leadership burnout does not always happen when everything falls apart. Sometimes it happens when everything is going right, but the pace, pressure, and responsibility are no longer sustainable.Josh Helgesen, CEO and majority owner of Greiner Construction, joins Jaime Taets to talk about the hidden weight of leadership, energy management, self-leadership, and the cost of confusing exhaustion with success. Josh shares his 26-year journey from apprentice carpenter to CEO, what changed when he realized he was strong for everyone else but was not refueling himself, and why sustainable leadership requires more than ambition.Jaime and Josh explore what it means to recognize an unsustainable pace before a crisis hits, how to protect white space, and why the climb does not have to mean climbing harder. Sometimes, you need to climb smarter.Timestamped Chapters0:00 Introduction to Josh Helgesen2:07 The Hidden Climb of Leadership3:21 From Apprentice Carpenter to CEO8:05 The People Who Shape Your Leadership9:50 The Climb Moment: When Everything Was Working11:21 Recognizing an Unsustainable Pace13:09 When Leadership Starts Affecting Home16:11 Letting Go of Being the One Who Carries Everything17:10 Redefining Success as Alignment and Endurance18:40 Protecting White Space and Auditing Your Energy22:27 Ambition, Alignment, and Self-LeadershipGuest BioJosh Helgesen is the CEO and majority owner of Greiner Construction. He began his career with the company 26 years ago as an apprentice carpenter and worked his way through roles including foreman, superintendent, field leadership, ownership, and ultimately CEO.His leadership journey is a powerful example of how career growth is built through opportunity, experience, relationships, mentorship, peer groups, coaching, and the willingness to keep learning. Josh now focuses not only on leading the business but also on becoming a better leader, father, husband, and human being.Quotes from the Episode"You don't get extra credit for exhaustion.""Ambition without alignment will cost you.""Protect your energy. Everyone you lead feels it."Leadership InsightsWhat is leadership burnout?Leadership burnout is the exhaustion that can develop when sustained pressure, responsibility, and ambition are not balanced with recovery, boundaries, and personal well-being. Josh emphasizes that pressure itself is not necessarily the problem. The danger comes from unmanaged pressure and an unsustainable pace.What is self-leadership?Self-leadership starts with managing yourself before trying to manage everyone and everything around you. For Josh, that means understanding your energy, recognizing your limits, reflecting before reacting, and making sure your ambition remains aligned with the life and relationships you want to protect.How can leaders recognize an unsustainable pace?Leaders can recognize an unsustainable pace when they notice subtle signs such as less patience, internal tension, constant go mode, and the feeling of being strong for everyone else but not refueling themselves. Josh explains that these signs often appear when everything looks successful on paper, making them easy to ignore.ResourcesConnect with Josh Helgesen on LinkedIn Learn more about Greiner ConstructionExplore Jaime's Women's Executive Retreats.Explore Keystone Group International and its leadership, culture, and organizational growth work.Follow Jaime on Instagram, LinkedIn, and FacebookIf you have ever felt like you are strong for everyone else but not refueling yourself, this conversation is for you.

Kelsi and Trey dive deep into Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a movie that somehow works as a thrilling Spider-Man story, an enormous MCU crossover, and a surprisingly profound quarter-life-crisis film. We discuss Tom Holland's incredible performance, Peter and MJ's heartbreaking relationship, a new character introduction, the film's action cinematography, and why this may be the best live-action Spider-Man movie since Spider-Man 2...or possibly ever? We also get into our lifelong relationship with Spider-Man, why this version feels specifically made for older Gen Z and younger millennials, and whether this movie somehow made us care about the MCU again.

Kelsi and Trey explore Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, a gigantic mythic spectacle they found emotionally flat, strangely edited, and far less interesting than the discourse surrounding it. They discuss Nolan's obsession with tortured great men whose guilt becomes part of their legend, the disconnect between Odysseus's voyage and the political drama in Ithaca, the movie's incredible practical filmmaking, and its frustratingly thin character work. Plus, they discuss why criticizing a Christopher Nolan movie has somehow become an online political purity test.Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon hereTikTok: The Extra CreditsThe Extra Credits YouTube ChannelLetterboxd: The Extra CreditsInstagram: @theextracreditsTwitter: @theextracreditsSend requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com

They also answer listener questions about romance and consider whether the end of a marriage must mean that the relationship was a failure.

Kelsi and Trey discuss what they've been watching lately before diving deep into Toy Story 5 and the larger Toy Story franchise. We also talk about Hoppers as a Gen Z-coded environmental Pixar movie, Voicemails for Isabelle as one of the better traditional rom-coms (and Netflix originals) in years, and Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie as a chaotic miracle of DIY stunt filmmaking. Then we move into Toy Story 5, discussing why the franchise remains so emotionally elastic and what toys means for all audiences. We also get into Jessie's role as the emotional center of the new film, the movie's surprisingly thoughtful take on technology and digital childhood, Bonnie's cyberbullying storyline, and where Toy Story 5 ranks in the franchise.You can also sign up for our Patreon as a free member below to listen to free episodes with Toy Story (1995) now available for free members.Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon hereTikTok: The Extra CreditsThe Extra Credits YouTube ChannelLetterboxd: The Extra CreditsInstagram: @theextracreditsTwitter: @theextracreditsSend requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com
Blake hosts an Extra Credit/Blake it or Leave it mashup!
The last hour of Fan After Dark has Extra Credit with a twist, a loaded Faddies on the Fone, and some Rangers talk to top it off.
On episode 159 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by Trey Flynn of The Extra Credits podcast to discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. Riding high off the success of his two biggest films to date, Nolan went back to the world of Gotham City to conclude his Dark Knight trilogy with a full circle, political warfare, myth busting epic, settling one and for all his ties to the genre, while deconstructing what it means to put on the mask, and how does one carry on a legacy when faced with so much pain. After the death of actor Heath Ledger, it took a lot for Nolan to step back into his vision of Batman, but with the help of two memorable villains, and leaning into the political, social aspects found in the first film, he left the franchise on a financial high, with some questionable story choices that have aged well for some (Trey) and no so much for others (Ryan and Jay). Controversial, dated, unique, The Dark Knight Rises ends Nolan's superhero vision on his own terms, for better or for worse. The guys and their guest break down their thoughts on the film, what worked for them and what didn't, the appeal of Anne Hathaway, Nolan's use of the original characters throughout the third film, how radical or dull the film's politics are, the choices Bruce makes throughout the film, the puzzling ending, the opening plane sequence, and plenty of Bane voice impressions. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h47m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Christopher Nolan with a review of his next film, Interstellar. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it. Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).
Today we explore why Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day did not work for us, from its messy sci-fi/spy-thriller structure to its underdeveloped appeals to empathy and unity.

“I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone,” and the rest is history. This week, we do a full line-by-line deep dive into a classic, “Our Song” (Taylor Swift, 2006). Join us as we discuss the self-referential recursion (she wrote a song about their song, and that song is their song) and the sounds and silences Taylor chose to define a teenage romance. This is Taylor before anyone believed in her, holding the pen, writing herself into her debut album. For more on "Our Song" in the context of Taylor's full debut album, become a paid subscriber at aptaylorswift.substack.com/subscribe — we go deep on the album in our After School series.
Kelsi and Trey dive deep into Curry Barker's Obsession, one of the most exciting original horror films we've seen in years. We break down why the movie feels like evil 500 Days of Summer meets Hereditary, how it turns modern dating anxieties, male entitlement, and the fantasy of “the one” into a supernatural nightmare, and why Inde Navarrette's performance is the emotional and horrifying center of the film. We also discuss the movie as a Gen Z relationship horror classic, a darkly funny cautionary tale, and ultimately a tragedy about agency and possession.

This week on Extra Credit: The Intern Files, Managing Intern Amy takes Filmlosophers host Eddie on a spiritual, cinematic, and slightly unhinged journey into the world of Mother Mary, the latest A24 release from director David Lowery. As the crew unpacks the film's layered themes, the conversation turns surprisingly theological. From questions of faith and identity to celebrity worship and personal belief systems, the interns explore how Mother Mary blurs the line between symbolism and sincerity. Is the film a meditation on devotion? A critique of modern sainthood? Or something far stranger hiding beneath the glitter and stage lights? Meanwhile, Eddie is fighting for his life as the interns continue recording in what can only be described as an increasingly cursed recording setup. Between existential debates and absolute production chaos, this may be the most spiritually enlightening episode of Extra Credit yet. Or at the very least, the loudest.

Drawing on 20 years of experience working behind the scenes with thousands of gyms, he notes most owners have tried referrals, reactivation, promotions, offers, and ads, but fail to execute consistently. He compares marketing to client training: results compound when actions are repeated and refined through practice. He outlines key monthly "boxes" to check—paid traffic, referrals, reactivation, organic awareness, reviews, social posting, strong follow-up, and long-term lead nurturing—so leads can convert later and create a steady flywheel of client growth.

He outlines common gaps like poor follow-up, weak conversion processes, and low retention, arguing that adding more leads to a broken system only increases cost per client and wastes opportunity. Using a pipeline framework (leads → consult/trial/assessment → new members → retention), he illustrates with numbers how improving follow-up, conversion rate, and retention can multiply revenue from the same 40 monthly leads without generating any additional leads. He invites gym owners to email him to diagnose their pipeline and identify missed opportunities to double or triple lead value. 00:00 Leads Aren't the Issue 00:32 Broken Systems Waste Leads 01:13 Pipeline View of Growth 01:54 Example With Weak Follow Up 03:02 Same Leads Better Results 03:57 Wrap Up and Next Steps
