The second installment of Fresh Immigrants, Rotten Fascists focuses on Adenoid Hynkel - the familiar looking authoritarian played by Charlie Chaplin in THE GREAT DICTATOR. Of course, there's more to Chaplin's masterpiece than Hynkle's fascist antics, including a showstopper of an ending that remains as relevant today as it was in the middle of World War II.Thank you for checking this new project out, whether you are a long-time Contrarians fan or someone who's just trying to listen to people talking positively about immigrants and negatively about fascism.

Today on the show: The Vuelta is underway, Vingegaard is back, and Danny van Poppel can't stop collecting yellow cards.

It's not that THE MATRIX wasn't overrated back in 1999, but it's more that its brand lost value with every sequel The Wachowskis threw at us over the following years. So it's impossible to keep a straight face while experiencing Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus' adventures today - despite what an 83% Tomatometer score may say. Listen to Alex & Julio as they battle nostalgia and roll their eyes at Hollywood's idea of Artificial Intelligence at the turn of the millennium!TIMELINE00:01:24 The Matrix00:10:37 Contrarians Corner- Wanna know how we really feel about THE MATRIX?

We had our fun in Contrarians Corner, but anyone who has listened to the show for a while knows we hold The Matrix (and only The Matrix, no sequels) in high regard. So expect this Real Talk to be a bit of a lovefest, featuring personal stories while also failing to stop talking about where the franchise went and how it disappointed us. And yes, this movie did really well at the MTV Movie Awards!TIMELINE00:01:26 The Rabbit Hole00:02:12 Real Talk00:56:56 The Future & Patreon Stuff- Interested in more Contrarians goodness?

There's an alternate timeline where Katie Holmes never meets Tom Cruise and then, decades later, her filmography rivals those of her old Dawson's Creek co-stars - at least in quantity, and probably also in quality. As it is though, we live in the timeline where she's still mainly known as Joey Potter, despite winning the MTV Movie Award for 1998 Breakthrough Performance. We talk about this, and other DISTURBING BEHAVIOR matters, in this Real Talk segment!TIMELINE00:01:26 My Name is Steve00:02:18 Real Talk00:46:30 The Future & Patreon Stuff- Interested in more Contrarians goodness?

When it comes to the 1998 thriller DISTURBING BEHAVIOR, there's no behavior more disturbing than that of critics stamping a 35% rotten Tomatometer score on it. Only the MTV Movie Awards recognized the brilliance of Scott Rosenberg's screenplay, David Nutter's direction, and, specifically, Katie Holmes' breakthrough performance.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta quarta-feira (06/08/2025): Previsto para entrar em vigor hoje, o tarifaço de 50% dos EUA sobre produtos brasileiros chega com o diálogo ainda travado entre os presidentes Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva e Donald Trump. Ontem, durante reunião do Conselho de Desenvolvimento Econômico, Lula disse que não ligaria para Trump porque o americano não quer conversar. O brasileiro, porém, afirmou que vai convidar o americano para participar da COP-30, reunião global sobre mudanças climáticas, em novembro, em Belém (PA). “Quero saber o que é que ele pensa da questão climática”, disse. Lula voltou a reclamar que Trump poderia ter telefonado antes para ele ou para o vice Geraldo Alckmin, já que haveria disposição de diálogo em relação à imposição de novas tarifas. O tarifaço foi anunciado em rede social. E mais: Economia: Para fugir de tarifa, Embraer se valeu de lobby e mercado cativo nos EUA Política: Oposição ocupa Mesas do Congresso; Alcolumbre vê ‘exercício autoritário’ Internacional: Brasil fica de fora da lista de caução por visto Metrópole: Após cratera abrir 2 vezes na Marginal do Tietê, obras continuam sem prazoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you ever wondered what caused the Great Nanny Unemployment Crisis of the early 90s, wonder no more. THE HAND THAT ROCK THE CRADLE is the worst kind of schlock: schlock that uses shock-value to fool audiences and critics into thinking it's profound cinema.

Everybody's gotta start somewhere, and that applies to Curtis Hanson as much as it applies to anyone else. Still, it's weird to think of the man behind L.A. Confidential and 8 Mile as the director of THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE - a movie that, to be charitable, is not quite on the same league as his other work. But can we at least agree that Rebecca De Mornay deserved her MTV Movie Award?

The Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) passed on July 4th, bringing major changes that retirees and pre-retirees need to understand. In this episode, Jude breaks down the top 3 provisions most relevant to his clients and listeners: the permanent extension of marginal tax brackets, the increased standard deduction, and a new senior citizen deduction that could reduce taxes on Social Security for millions of retirees. These updates offer new opportunities for Roth conversions, long-term tax planning, and smarter retirement income strategies- if you know how to use them.   Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

Our Fresh Immigrants, Rotten Fascists journey begins here: with a movie that earned Richard Jenkins his first Academy Awards nomination. THE VISITOR is a story set in the midst of post 9/11 paranoia, where a man befriends a couple of refugees whose future is about to be upended.

How a family earning under $60,000 can face an effective marginal tax rate of 71.2%, the Green Party and the Taxpayer's Union agree on a tax change and Inland Revenue updates its guidance on when a taxpayer is carrying on a "business" for income tax purposes.

America to the rescue once again! Unfortunately, critics were a little harder to wow only two years after Independence Day had been the talk of the town and ARMAGEDDON got stamped with a 43% rotten Tomatometer score.

Much like The Bodyguard, ARMAGEDDON's primary legacy is its MTV-Movie-Award-Winning song, a little Aerosmith ditty called I Don't Want To Miss a Thing. What does that say about the movie, and would it be different if Bay's film didn't live under the shadow of Independence Day? Could the Criterion Collection be wrong, or are they ahead of the curve on this one?

Intégrer une marge dans ses tarifs ? Pas évident, surtout au début, quand on a peur d'être “trop cher”. Dans cette MM, je reviens sur un échange avec Morgan, un entrepreneur indépendant que j'ai accompagné. Il m'a expliqué qu'au départ, il fixait ses prix uniquement à partir de son TJM et du temps estimé pour chaque mission. Mais il s'est vite rendu compte qu'il lui manquait un truc essentiel : la marge. Parce que facturer juste pour se rémunérer, c'est pas suffisant quand on veut développer une activité pérenne. Et toi, tu inclus une marge quand tu définis tes tarifs? (pour me répondre,  envoie-moi un mp sur Linkedin

There was a glorious time when you could watch The United States of America save the world in a movie without snickering. INDEPENDENCE DAY is a relic from America's golden days as Earth's protectors - a relic that, when inspected with modern eyes, falls ridiculously short of everything a sci-fi adventure should be.

Becoming an enduring part of pop culture doesn't necessarily mean your movie is good. So what's the verdict on THE BODYGUARD? Is there anything to it beyond that banger of a song and the undeniable chemistry between Costner and Houston? Did it get shortchanged when it only won one MTV Movie Award, or was it deserving of its multiple Razzie nominations?

If you've ever wondered why 90s kids are SO dramatic about their love lives, you can put the blame on Baz Luhrmann's ROMEO + JULIET. The overblown modernization of Willy Shakes' teeny-bopper romance was a big hit with audiences and critics, with a fresh Tomatometer score of 74% - so that means Alex & Julio will take it down a few notches.

You either get on Shakespeare's wavelength or you don't. But maybe an extreme approach to The Bard's stories can help? It's likely Baz Luhrmann's ROMEO + JULIET converted many romantics into fans of the play - even if they might not have stuck around for any other Shakespeare pieces.

Behind every great cyclist is a great bike fit, which means a great bike fitter. Honestly, we're not sure it's possible to overstate the gains — or losses— a bike fit can bring. And a startling number of top pros we've had on this show trust Barry Anderson of Cyclologic, in Scottsdale Arizona. Barry has popped up on our radar numerous times and for numerous reasons recently. We're excited to share Barry's practical guidance on the why, how, and who of a great bike fit.  

Summary  In this episode of the Building Better Cultures podcast, Scott McInnes speaks with Clare Duffield, Assistant Chief Officer for People and Organisational Development at the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). They discuss the importance of workplace culture, the challenges faced by policing globally, and the insights gained from a cultural audit conducted within PSNI. Clare shares the findings of the audit, highlighting both concerns and strengths within the organisation, and emphasises the need for trust, recognition, and support in fostering a positive culture. The conversation concludes with practical steps for implementing cultural change and the significance of connecting employees to the organisation's mission and purpose.    Takeaways  Workplace culture is about the experience of employees.  A clear mission and purpose are essential for organizational culture.  Cultural audits can reveal both strengths and weaknesses.  Trust and transparency are crucial for employee engagement.  Recognition of achievements boosts morale and culture.  Leadership visibility fosters trust within the organization.  Cultural change requires time and commitment from leadership.  Engaging employees in the change process is vital.  Understanding the context of culture is important for effective change.  Small, incremental changes can lead to significant improvements.    Sound Bites  "Culture is what's it like to work here?"  "We have to be able to give back."  "Trust starts with human connection."  "It's about the person behind the uniform."  "One step at a time. Marginal gains."  "We need to invest in the police service."  "Focus on the why. Why does it exist?"    Chapters  00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guest  02:54 Understanding Workplace Culture  06:02 The Impact of Global Policing Challenges  08:56 Cultural Audit and Its Findings  11:48 Addressing Cultural Concerns  15:11 Positive Aspects of the Workforce  17:55 Building Trust and Support  20:49 Recognizing and Celebrating Achievements  23:45 Practical Steps for Cultural Change  27:02 Looking Forward: Implementing Change  29:58 Final Thoughts on Culture Change   

What do you do after you win an Oscar for playing a scary bloodthirsty mobster? You try to lead a courtroom comedy, of course!

Joe Pesci - comedian. Is that a thing? Or is it telling that Marisa Tomei seems to be the most memorable aspect of MY COUSIN VINNY?

In honor of The New Yorker's centennial this year, the magazine's staff writers are pulling out some classics from the long history of the publication. Louisa Thomas, The New Yorker's sports correspondent, naturally gravitated to a story about baseball with a title only comprehensible to baseball aficionados: “Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu.” The essay was by no less a writer than the author John Updike, and the “Kid” of the title was Ted Williams, the Hall of Fame hitter who spent nineteen years on the Boston Red Sox. By happenstance, Updike joined the crowd at Fenway Park for Williams's last game before his retirement, in 1960. Thomas, looking at subtle word changes that Updike made as he was working on the piece, reflects on the writer's craft and the ballplayer's. “Marginal differences really matter,” she says. “And it's those marginal differences that are the difference between a pop-up, a long fly, and a home run. Updike really understood that, and so did Williams.”Plus, a visit with one of the great modern practitioners of the earworm, Charles Strouse, who wrote music for “Bye Bye Birdie” and “Annie,” and the theme to “All in the Family.” Strouse died this month at ninety-six. In one of his last interviews he gave, in 2023, he spoke with the Radio Hour's Jeffrey Masters about his rivalry with Stephen Sondheim. “Stephen and I were friendly enemies. He didn't like me much. I didn't like him less.” 

Chris Farley movies always underperformed with critics - even the beloved TOMMY BOY, which most regular people would deem the best of them all. So, does the winner of the 1996 MTV Movie Award for Best On-Screen Duo deserve its 42% rotten Tomatometer score? Listen to Alex & Julio do their best to defend the first Farley/Spade team-up, while marveling at the high caliber of supporting players in this road trip!TIMELINE00:01:24 Tommy Boy00:13:30 Contrarians Corner- Wanna know how we really feel about TOMMY BOY?

Could the third time be the charm for Chris Farley on The Contrarians podcast? Infamously, our episodes on Black Sheep and Almost Heroes featured some serious disagreements regarding the comedic talents of Farley and his co-starts. So what happens when we discuss a Farley/Spade vehicle that shaped Alex's early years? Can Julio resist an avalanche of TOMMY BOY quotes and references?

Until then, let us know what you thought of Tommy Boy: Would a third Farley/Spade collaboration taken them to the next level, or should they have stopped after this one and never even done Black Sheep?

The Summer of the (MTV) Bangers begins! THE FUGITIVE got Tommy Lee Jones his first and only Oscar but, more importantly, it also took home the Best On-Screen Duo and Best Action Sequence trophies at the 1994 MTV Movie Awards.

Gone are the days when a crowdpleaser like THE FUGITIVE could stand toe-to-toe against films like Schindler's List and The Piano come awards season but, hey, this is why we love The 90s - arguably Tommy Lee Jones' decade. However, there's more to Andrew Davis' acclaimed thriller than TLJ's beloved performance, and we'll discuss it all in this Real Talk segment!

Most people just say “don't have kids”. Jennifer Kent shot a whole movie to make her point. And whether THE BABADOOK worked as contraceptive for a whole generation or not, it was certainly effective in boosting Kent's career and wowing critics and audiences.

Look, we'll do our best not to dwell on the unfortunate parallels to Hereditary, but they need to be addressed (and yes, we know THE BABADOOK came out first). Thankfully, there's more to Jennifer Kent's feature debut than the inevitable comparisons to Ari Aster's own “I am your motherrrrrr” flick - and we'll get into all of that in this Real Talk segment!Also, once again: don't forget to join us during this year's Livestream for the Cure, 5/17 at 4pm CT!TIMELINE00:01:26 I am your mother!00:02:08 Real Talk00:46:12 The Future & Patreon Stuff- Interested in more Contrarians goodness?

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are back to examine the latest headlines and talking points from the world of pro cycling, this week aided by TNT commentator Rob Hatch. The Classics have migrated (slightly) south to the hills of Limburg and the Ardennes, with the Brabantse Pijl and Amstel Gold kicking off the final phase of the spring season last week. In the former, Remco Evenepoel completed a stunning return from injury to outsprint Wout Van Aert. Amstel saw an even more surprising denouement, with Mattias Skjelmose proving too quick - just - for Tadej Pogačar and Evenepoel. We ponder what this all means for the remainder of the Ardennes Classics, with a detour via Coorevits Corner. There's also a look back at the life and times of British cycling legend Barry Hoban.
