Then we move on to Anora (2024). Finally we review Emilia Perez (2024).The Last Showgirl is a 2024 American drama film directed by Gia Coppola and written by Kate Gersten. It stars Pamela Anderson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Billie Lourd, Dave Bautista, Brenda Song, and Kiernan Shipka. Its plot focuses on a middle-aged Las Vegas showgirl who is faced with an uncertain future after learning that the revue she has performed in for three decades is scheduled to close. The screenplay was adapted by Gersten from her own play, Body of Work, which she based on her visits to the Jubilee! show shortly before its closure in 2016.The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2024, and was released in the United States on January 10, 2025. It received generally positive reviews from critics, with Anderson's performance garnering critical praise. The film received two nominations at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama for Anderson and Best Original Song for "Beautiful That Way". It also received two nominations at the 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for Anderson and Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for Curtis.Anora is a 2024 American comedy-drama film written, directed, and edited by Sean Baker. It follows the beleaguered marriage between Anora (Mikey Madison), a young sex worker, and Vanya Zakharov (Mark Eydelshteyn), the son of a Russian oligarch. The supporting cast includes Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, Vache Tovmasyan, and Aleksei Serebryakov.Anora premiered on May 21, 2024, at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or and received critical acclaim. It was released theatrically on October 18 by Neon. It was named one of the top 10 films of 2024 by the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute, and received five nominations at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical, Best Actress for Madison and Best Director. It grossed $32.5 million worldwide on a $6 million budget, becoming Baker's highest-grossing film.Emilia Pérez is a 2024 Spanish-language musical comedy crime film written and directed by Jacques Audiard. A French production adapted from Audiard's opera libretto, which was loosely based on Boris Razon's 2018 novel Écoute, the film stars Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, Mark Ivanir, and Édgar Ramírez. The story follows a Mexican cartel leader (Gascón) who enlists a lawyer (Saldaña) to help facilitate their transition into a woman to escape their criminal life. Featuring original songs by Camille, a score by Clément Ducol, and choreography by Damien Jalet, the film was shot in Île-de-France from May to July 2023.Premiering at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Emilia Pérez received international acclaim for its lead performances, direction, themes, and musical score, winning the Jury Prize and Best Actress award for its female ensemble. However, the film polarized audiences, with criticism in Mexico for cultural misrepresentation, stereotypes, and poorly executed Spanish dialogue, while some LGBTQ groups objected to its portrayal of gender transition. Despite this, it made history at the Golden Globes, winning four awards, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and earning Karla Sofía Gascón a nomination as the first trans woman in the Best Actress category. Selected as France's submission for Best International Feature Film at the Academy Awards, it was also named one of the American Film Institute's top 10 films of 2024, cementing its status as a groundbreaking yet controversial cinematic work.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

In a recent survey (to be published in 2025, stay tuned) of pastors, those with seminary or divinity school degrees were significantly more likely to report passion for those in their community and little toward cross-cultural work or missionaries. Is this the result of a marginalization of missions in theological education? If so, how can seminary education be refined to present missions as worthy of a pastor's or church's passion?

In this episode of Work in Progress, I am joined by Chike Aguh, senior advisor to The Project on Workforce at Harvard University and the former Chief Innovation Officer for the Biden Administration. He's also a member of the WorkingNation Advisory Board. We sat down to discuss the impact of AI and tech innovation on the workforce, particularly midcareer and older workers, at the Equity Summit 2024 in Washington, a collaboration between CWI Labs, Center for Workforce Inclusion, and WorkingNation. Sometimes it feels like technology is moving so fast that many of us are at risk of being left behind. The U.S. economy is in need of workers right now, with 10 job openings for every eight people looking for work. Some employers say they are struggling to find workers with the right tech skills and timeless interpersonal skills. At the Equity Summit, Aguh and I discussed ways to ensure that midcareer and older worker have access to opportunities in today's labor market, in hiring, job retention, and reskilling. Aguh talked about how technology can't replace everyone but tech innovations such as AI could exacerbate existing inequities for marginalized older workers, including older workers of color. He offered up ideas on how employers can utilize the talents of older workers, rather than buying into biases and outdated assumptions about their abilities. Aguh offered specific strategies employers could use to help upskilled and integrate their workers into the workforce to help solve their labor shortage.

Send us a textWhat if society's dismissal of Christ started not just in modern times but in a humble manger over 2000 years ago? Join us as we explore the profound implications of Christ's birth in a manger, as recounted in Luke 2, and its lasting impact on how Jesus is perceived and treated today. We delve into Luke's unique portrayal of Jesus' humanity and draw striking parallels between His historic exclusion and contemporary marginalization in educational institutions, urging listeners to reflect on the ongoing societal tendencies to push the divine aside.Ever wondered why there's so little room for Christ in today's world? We tackle this pressing issue head-on, examining how schools, workplaces, politics, and even businesses systematically exclude Christian teachings. Politicians may use Christian rhetoric to gain votes, but where's the genuine commitment? We also explore the reluctance of Christians to express their faith openly, discussing the consequences of failing to integrate Christ into all aspects of life. This episode serves as a rallying cry for believers to stand firm in their faith amidst societal pressures.What happens when Christians abandon genuine fellowship with Christ for secular pursuits? We confront the spiritual decay that results, highlighting the importance of heartfelt worship, earnest prayer, and the reality of eternal consequences. This episode challenges listeners to prioritize their relationship with Christ above all else, emphasizing the dire consequences of facing God without Christ as a mediator. We close with a heartfelt invitation for genuine repentance, urging everyone to return to a biblically-grounded spirituality and sincerely embrace the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice.Support the show

Spiritual director and story coach, TJ Poon, sits down with Rachael Clinton Chen to explore the intersection of spiritual formation and White racial identity development.  We'll begin by saying that we are approaching this conversation with a deep sense of responsibility and humility, honoring the voices of people of color who have led the way and are aware that two White people are not experts on racism. This is a complex topic and there will be missteps. Even when the conversations are difficult, we at the Allender Center know that the realities of racism and White supremacy cannot be ignored, and we are committed to holding a space to engage them. In today's episode, TJ and Rachael consider how White-bodied people understand their stories, how their stories and spiritual formation have been influenced by systems of Whiteness, and the challenge of feeling anchored and connected to family histories. They also acknowledge that on this journey of personal and collective healing, White people will inevitably need to confront anxiety, shame, and humiliation in their pursuit of restoration, with a commitment to what TJ calls “joyful anti-racist action.” We hope you'll join us in this conversation with curiosity, compassion, and courage, understanding that ongoing dialogue, learning, and formation are vital to our work with trauma on behalf of the kingdom of God.

While the decline in Black American baseball players has received lots of scholarly attention in the last three decades, scholars have not spent as much time studying the decline of Black American fans at Major League Baseball (MLB) games. The few of examinations of the number of Black American fans at MLB games that exist tend not to take the structures of the fan experience at MLB games into account. In contrast, this paper examines that experience, which reveals that the persistent, but adaptable, marginalization of Black fans at MLB games—from describing them differently, to treating them differently, to segregating them, to building new ballparks far removed from Black communities, to not marketing to Black audiences, to making it difficult for Black fans to reach games—is a major contributing factor to the disproportionately low number of Black American fans at MLB games today.

The exclusion of women from modern medicine is a complex and pervasive issue that spans centuries of medical practice. Despite advancements in healthcare, women continue to face systemic barriers that hinder their access to accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and equitable care. Historical biases, gender stereotypes, and a lack of representation in medical research have contributed to this exclusion, perpetuating disparities in health outcomes and quality of care. From underrepresentation in clinical trials to the dismissal of women's symptoms and concerns, the consequences of this exclusion are far-reaching, impacting women's health across diverse populations. In this episode of FemInnovation, host Bethany Corbin talks with Dr. Elizabeth Comen, author of the USA Today bestselling book “All in Her Head”, about the exclusion of women from medicine and how women today can advocate for their health and wellbeing in a world designed for men.  Specifically, Bethany and Dr. Comen dive into the shame and stigma women encounter when trying to discuss their health concerns, the equation of women's health with reproductive health, how bias in medicine affects both patients and providers, the societal need to control women, whether femtech is the answer to the exclusion of women in medicine, and how to change the ongoing narrative of women's health.

You can even watch it on the web.Devin: What is your superpower?DG: I sat with that because that is the name of your program. I asked friends and acquaintances, “How would you define that for me?” I think where people landed is the power of helping them remember who they are, who they want to be, who they can be, and that they can be who they want to be and who they are.DG Mawn is the president of the National Association for Community Mediation, an association of organizations and individuals founded nearly 30 years ago that is engaged in community-oriented peacemaking inspired by the 1964 Civil Rights Act.With the Civil Rights Act's 60th anniversary arriving next year, along with the organization's 30th anniversary, members are planning 30/60 celebrations.Earlier this year, the Alliance for Peacebuilding named him the Peacemaker of the Year.Pundits sometimes describe America's political divides as the worst since the Civil War. Noting, “Our country has always had significant tensions,” DG is not so dire in his analysis.He says there are nine different cultures within the US, including First Nations. “Those cultures have different ways of living out who they are,” he says.Observing that the country has been through some difficult times, DG says, “If we can get through some of those events that our country has gone through since its establishment, we can get through this as well.”“Part of the way to get through that is recognizing our shared values, regardless of the political spectrum,” he says. Everyone wants to be heard. “That is a shared value.” Everyone wants their children to be safe. People “want to be in a place where they feel connected.” We have genuine shared values.DG suggests that we need to “unpack the what we call the coats we wear,” referring to our partisan political and other labels we use for ourselves–and others.In addition to remembering shared values, he notes that we need to understand that someone who works for political or other causes you don't support isn't “against you.”He summarizes his thoughts:One of the beautiful gifts of our country is that we do have these nine very distinctive cultures that have always been co-creating, have always been trying to figure it out.If we can embrace that beauty, then we know you don't have to agree with me, whether it be about hunting, whether about being a vegetarian, or whether it be about what political alignments you have.

In an eye-opening conversation that transcends the ordinary, Van Williams, the Vice President of Information Technology Services and Chief Information Officer for the University of California's sprawling $40+ billion-dollar enterprise, takes us on an inspiring journey through the complexities of being Black in America. From a transformative semester that pushed the boundaries of personal resilience to a deep-seated appreciation for the Bahamas' sense of community, empathy, and kindness, Van's life experiences have uniquely shaped his perspective on leadership, mentorship, and the power of wellness, fearlessness, and resilience.But this podcast is beyond personal growth—it's a profound exploration of how technology can be wielded as a force for good in the Black community. Van's analogy of AI as a tool, a hammer capable of building or tearing down, challenges us to rethink our approach to racial equity in a digital age. Discover how he envisions AI reducing biases, scanning social networks for truth, and creating buddy systems for success. And as we delve into his vision of co-sponsoring an AI congress, Van reminds us that opportunities in both the private and public sectors are within reach, provided we leverage the unique strengths of Black talent.Van Williams leaves us with a call to action, including a non-negotiable call for Black youth. This podcast is a testament to the intersection of technology, personal empowerment, and societal change—a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and innovative solutions for a more equitable future. When you consider being Black in the U.S., it's unlike anything we've ever seen before. Our history is shaped by colonialism, colorism, and culture. Unlike the U.K., where Black people were integrated into existing systems, we, in the U.S., had systems defined on our incredibly strong backs. Our unique situation demands equally unique solutions, although we can still draw inspiration from history however AT THIS STAGE, as an innovator or entrepreneur, we hold a greater chance of moving the needle than from the perspectives of sociologists, economists, or psychologists… - Van Williams

In this episode of The Brainy Business podcast, host Melina Palmer interviews Sigi Hale who delves into the fascinating world of neurodiversity and its impact on decision-making in the field of market research. By understanding the diverse brain types and their unique strengths, businesses can optimize their decision-making processes and improve their marketing strategies. Dr. Hale emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, recognizing our natural tendencies, and leveraging different decision-making systems based on the situation.  This episode provides valuable insights for market researchers and business professionals who strive to enhance their decision-making abilities and achieve better results. By embracing neurodiversity and aligning roles and tasks with individuals' brain types, organizations can harness the full potential of their teams and optimize team performance. With Sigi's expertise in neuroscience and decision-making, coupled with Melina's enthusiasm for understanding the brain, this discussion offers thought-provoking insights that can revolutionize the way businesses approach decision-making. In this episode: Discover how to optimize personal cognitive abilities for successful market research with a focus on neurodiversity and decision-making. Learn to leverage strengths of ADHD as a variation in brain state orientation to elevate productivity. Understand the link between distinct decision-making styles and their influence on consumer behavior. Realize the pivotal role context plays in decision-making and how to craft tailored marketing strategies accordingly. Recognize different brain types within your team and learn how to accommodate these for optimized team performance. Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Introduction, Melina introduces Dr. Sigi Hale and mentions that the conversation will cover topics related to neurodiversity and ADHD. 00:01:46 - Dr. Sigi Hale's Background, Sigi shares his background and transition from academia to the private sector. He explains how he started consulting and eventually joined Alpha Diver, a market research company focusing on understanding consumer behavior. 00:08:12 - ADHD and Neurodiversity, Sigi discusses how the brain works as a multifunctional building block relational system. He explains that ADHD is not a deficit, but a variation in how brain systems are orchestrated. He mentions the benefits of ADHD brain states and their association with specific cognitive abilities. 00:13:10 - Sports Analogy, Sigi uses a sports analogy to further explain the different brain states and abilities associated with ADHD. He compares task-focused behavior to offense in sports and sensory immersive behavior to defense. 00:14:17 - Impact of Color on Physiology, Sigi briefly discusses the impact of color on physiological arousal and preferences. He mentions that asking someone why they like a certain color may not elicit a clear answer due to the physiological factors at play. 00:15:25 - Understanding Different Systems of Knowledge, The brain has different systems of knowledge: episodic knowledge, semantic knowledge, and rational thought. These systems function in parallel and influence decision-making. The ADHD brain is more inclined towards instinctual and personal experience processes, which can lead to creative and flexible thinking. 00:16:53 - Mapping the World onto Personal Experience, Making decisions based on personal experience and episodic memory allows us to familiarize the world and empathize with others. This process also enhances sensory immersion and can lead to self-transcendent and empathetic experiences. ADHD adults are more likely to engage in this type of processing. 00:18:55 - Shifting Brain States and Neurodiversity, Our brain states can shift throughout the day, affecting our information processing. During ADHD-like brain states, there is an emphasis on instincts, personal experience, and creative thinking. These states can enhance detail-oriented thinking, empathy, and fluid thinking. 00:21:44 - Marginalization of Neurodiversity, Neurodiversity that aligns with ADHD-like processes is often marginalized in education and traditional organizational structures. However, these processes play vital roles in innovation and creativity. Organizations should identify and leverage different features of neurodiversity to unlock the full potential of their teams. 00:24:09 - Optimizing Team Roles, Sigi explains how optimizing team roles involves recognizing different types of neurodiversity and the associated strengths. 00:30:27 - Understanding Neurodiversity in Decision Making, Sigi discusses how different brain types, such as those with ADHD, have unique ways of seeing the world and making decisions. It is important to appreciate this diversity, as it affects how individuals make choices in different market spaces. 00:31:48 - Tailoring Communication for Different Brains, A good salesman understands that different people have different decision-making styles. Some rely on experience and emotions, while others focus on facts and figures. A deep understanding of these differences allows for effective communication and marketing strategies. 00:32:48 - Measuring Decision-Making Styles in Populations, Market research involves measuring the expression of different decision-making styles in various market spaces and cohorts of people. Understanding how these styles change over time and in different situations is crucial for making sense of human decision-making. 00:37:24 - Context and Decision Making, The context in which decisions are made greatly influences decision-making psychology. Certain situations can harmonize decision-making styles across individuals, while others may push individuals to make decisions in different ways. Understanding the context is essential for effective advertising and marketing strategies. 00:40:25 - Optimizing as a Solopreneur, As a solopreneur, it is important to understand your own strengths and weaknesses in relation to neurodiversity. Knowing where you excel and where you struggle allows you to find external resources, technologies, and people to buffer against your weaknesses. It's also important to give yourself permission 00:45:47 - Decision-Making Styles, Sigi discusses the different decision-making styles and how to leverage them. He emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and considering personal experience, instincts, and rational thinking when making decisions. 00:46:13 - Leveraging Different Perspectives, Sigi explains the importance of consciously leveraging different perspectives to navigate the world effectively. He suggests giving more weight to either instinctual or rational thinking depending on the circumstances. 00:47:02 - Conclusion, Melina's top insights from the conversation.
