Podcasts about Shop Talk

In this Shop Talk, we reflect on a simple question that can haunt all of this: What do we need to quit so our best work can truly live? Featuring Erik Løkkesmoe's powerful essay "I Quit," Coach Bill explores the things that quietly pull us away from meaningful work—chasing applause, feeding the algorithm, climbing ladders, waiting for permission, and letting urgency replace purpose. Sometimes the most important step forward isn't doing more—it's having the courage to let something die.

Let's be honest, this episode should have been called ""Shop Talk"" because it's 70% theater rakes, 20% filmmaking and maybe 10% We Like Sportz. I guess we could have called it We Like Shop Talkz. Regardless, Jorm and Akiva are technically talking (as opposed to talking technically) about We Like Sportz from 2008 and featured on Incredibad. The second installment of the ""Just Two Guyz"" franchise we see Guy #1 and Guy #2 sing about their obsession with sports and definitely not their daddy issues. They get some great insight from Daniel Scheinert (of the Daniels who isn't spoiling their next movie, a slow boil court room drama) on theater rakes, and Chester Tam, and Jonah Hill, both of who were on site in Encino when this ""Mona Lisa"" was created.
