Dass wir bei Christian Petzold, Angela Schanelec und Christoph Hochhäusler über die "Berliner Schule" sprechen, liegt unter anderem an Marco Abel, der diesen Begriff populär gemacht hat und mit dem wir schon einmal eine Folge dazu gemacht haben. Jetzt hat er ein neues Buch geschrieben. In "Mit Nonchalance am Abgrund" widmet er sich einer in Deutschland fast vergessenen Filmströmung: Der Neuen Münchner Gruppe. Ihre Filmemacher*innen waren sowohl von Godard als auch dem US-amerikanischen Genrekino beeinflusst und haben Filme gemacht, die auch heute noch unglaublich frisch wirken. Wenn man sie denn kennen würde. Es sind mitunter schwelgerische Beziehungsstudien, die auf einmal ins Genre-Kino kippen. Der bekannteste, "Zur Sache, Schätzchen", hat nicht nur Uschi Glas bekannt gemacht, sondern auch die Worte "fummeln" und "Dumpfbacke" im deutschen Sprachgebrauch verankert. In dieser Folge spricht Christian mit Marco über die Neue Münchner Gruppe, sein Buch und die Frage, wieso dieses Kino früher als rechtskonservativ angesehen wurde, aber auf uns heute ziemlich links und feministisch wirkt.

Wir waren mal wieder live zu sehen und zu hören! Im Filmrauschpalast Berlin haben Christian, Lucas und Christoph über "KI im Film" anhand von Betrand Bonellos "The Beast" gesprochen. Wieso wirkt es oft so, dass Filme über KI mit tatsächlicher KI eigentlich nichts zu tun haben? Und wieso verhandeln sie seit 100 Jahren gefühlt immer dieselben Fragen? Und wie ändert sich das jetzt, da KI selbst Filme machen kann? Das und mehr haben wir besprochen. Danke an alle, die da waren, es war ein großer Spaß!

Auf dem CUTS-Discord ging es, was diesen Film betrifft, in den letzten Wochen hoch her. Für einige der beste Film des Jahres, für andere der schlimmste Müll, den sie seit langem gesehen haben, auch wenn er in der breiten Öffentlichkeit eher positiv weggekommen ist. In dieser Folge schaut sich das Arabella Wintermayr zusammen mit Antje Wessels (Kino+) und Sophia Derda (Filmrauschpalast) nochmal genauer an. Was erzählt Coralie Fargeats "The Substance" über Schonheitsstandards, macht er das zu unsubtil und wieso sollte das überhaupt ein Problem sein?

A stroke happens when there is a sudden blockage of blood flow to the brain or bleeding in the brain, which can result in symptoms such as numbness or weakness, trouble speaking, confusion, or dizziness. The type of symptoms one might experience depends largely on the type of stroke, and the area of the brain affected. But one thing is clear – despite the many advances in stroke care over the past 30 years, it's women who often suffer the most.  In today's episode, we discuss why women are more susceptible to stroke, what the unique risk factors are, and what women need more of to help them recover, not only from the medical condition, but the impacts to their careers, their mental health and their families. Featuring: Dr. Aleksandra Pikula, MD, PhD, is a neurologist and clinician-investigator at UHN's Krembil Brain Institute and the newly appointed Jay and Sari Sonshine Chair in Stroke Prevention and Cerebrovascular Brain Health at UHN.

Have you ever heard of a genetic condition called neurofibromatosis, also known as NF?It's one of the most common genetic disorders, affecting about 1 in 3000 people globally. NF causes different types of tumours to form in various parts of the body. Because so little is known about the condition, it's often misdiagnosed, or not diagnosed at all. UHN is home to the Elisabeth Raab Neurofibromatosis Clinic, the only adult NF clinic in Canada. We discuss the clinic and the exciting research happening in the field of NF. But, for many people living with the condition, the stigma is often as challenging as the illness.

In the time that it takes to say this sentence – three seconds – someone in the world will develop dementia, a group of symptoms impacting memory, thinking, mood, behaviour and the ability to complete everyday tasks. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia.With people living longer, even into their 90s and beyond, dementia is becoming the biggest and most consequential global health threat of our time. But, according to a landmark study in The Lancet medical journal, there are 12 modifiable risk factors that can reduce your chances of getting dementia at any age – by up to 40%. In this episode of Your Complex Brain, we discuss which of those risk factors are most impactful to lower – or even reverse – your risk of dementia, with a focus on the latest science looking at the benefits of exercise.Featuring: Maria Martinez has been a social worker nearly 25 years.

In a sweeping 2023 report, the US Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, declared loneliness an epidemic and a public health emergency. According to the report, loneliness and isolation can lead to a significant increase in mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression, as well as a nearly 30% increased risk of heart disease, stroke and among older adults, a 50% risk of dementia.Around the world, there are efforts to help people cope with loneliness. In the Netherlands, one grocery store chain has introduced ‘chat check outs' where customers can take their time and socialize – part of a government initiative to address the growing issue of isolation.There are also a number of apps to help introduce you to your neighbours anywhere you live in the world.And a recent story in The Globe and Mail profiled a woman who rents her time out to those needing a dinner companion, a study buddy, or a listening ear. She's seen more than 60 clients so far. Today's episode focuses on the health impact of loneliness on the brain, why social media seems to be making us lonelier even as it's meant to connect us, and how each of us can learn to exercise our social muscle, and improve our overall health.Featuring: Dr. Jaideep Bains – Director of the Krembil Research Institute at UHN and co-Director and Senior Scientist with UHN's Krembil Brain Institute.

In this podcast episode, Greg Marchildon talks to Arthur J. Ray about his book, From the Frozen Sea to Buffalo Country: The Life and Times of Henry Kelsey of the Hudson's Bay Company, 1667–1724, published by the Champlain Society in 2022. Henry Kelsey is remembered for being the first European to travel from Hudson Bay to the territories of the Plains Assiniboine and Cree as a young Hudson's Bay Company servant in 1690-91. He remained with the Company for another thirty-one years, rising through the ranks to become Governor of Hudson Bay five years before retiring under a cloud in 1722. Taking advantage of the opening of the Hudson's Bay Company's Archives in the late 1960s and the voluminous new research in the fields of Indigenous and fur trade history, From the Frozen Sea to Buffalo Country: The Life and Times of Henry Kelsey of the Hudson's Bay Company, 1667–1724, offers a new look at Kelsey's papers and includes his previously unpublished Swampy Cree-English dictionary. Arthur J. Ray is the author of numerous award-winning books and articles on the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada and the history of the Hudson's Bay Company. He also has been actively involved in offering historical evidence before Canadian courts in aboriginal and treaty rights litigation. Professor Emeritus at the University of British Columbia, Ray's Life and Death By The Frozen Sea: The York Fort Journals of Hudson's Bay Company Governor James Knight, 1714-1717 (Champlain Society, 2018) has received wide acclaim for its sensitive appreciation of life at an HBC post in the early years of the 18th century.

In this podcast episode, Nicole O'Byrne talks to Kent Roach about his book, Canadian Justice, Indigenous Injustice: The Gerald Stanley and Colten Boushie Case, published by McGill-Queen's University Press in 2019. In August 2016, Colten Boushie, a twenty-two-year-old Cree man from Red Pheasant First Nation, was fatally shot on a Saskatchewan farm by white farmer Gerald Stanley. In a trial that bitterly divided Canadians, Stanley was acquitted of both murder and manslaughter by a jury in Battleford with no visible Indigenous representation. In Canadian Justice, Indigenous Injustice, Kent Roach critically reconstructs the Gerald Stanley/Colten Boushie case to examine how it may be a miscarriage of justice. Roach provides historical, legal, political, and sociological background to the case including misunderstandings over crime when Treaty 6 was negotiated. Kent Roach is a professor of law at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law. A thoughtful and prolific author, he has worked on over 13 collections of essays, over a dozen books, and approximately 300 articles on a wide range of topics including criminal law, policing, terrorism, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom. Kent has won numerous research and teaching prizes and has been appointed a Member of the Order of Canada and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. This podcast is produced by Jessica Schmidt.
