John and Ryan are along for the ride on this horse-drawn carriage. Once we get to Dracula's castle all bets are off --or is it Count Orlok's castle? Did you see Eggers's Nosferatu?

Through some mail mix up this year, Creators & Guests Michael Dixon - Host John Garcia - Producer Ryan King - Host received a letter to Santa from some kid named Billy. It described the hardships Billy was going through. His family had just moved into a small rental unit above a Sorority house, and little Billy is having a tough time adjusting to his new downstairs neighbors. He even invited one of them up, but he suspects they aren't interested in being friends and just want to use his sister Agnus's rocking chair. Billy's only Christmas wish is for some movie podcast to discuss his favorite holiday classic, Black Christmas. Well we happen to be a movie podcast, so here's an episode dedicated to all the Billys out there.

It's Recommend or Refute time!  Ryan talks about Liar Liar (1997) and Jim Carrey's early career, Dixon reviews the underseen Alfred Hitchcock thriller I Confess (1953), and John takes us on a horrifying journey through his annual month of self-flagellation that he calls Schlocktober.

On the cusp of spooky season's end, John brings a 30 year passion project to the table with The Primevals (2023). It's a love letter to the Ray Harryhausen era of cinema, when stop-motion dinosaurs ruled the world (of B-Movies) and --unfortunately for Ryan and Dixon-- it's also a Full Moon production. Join us for the unofficial Schlocktober main-line episode as we explore whether this time capsule film is a diamond in the rough or just a bottle cap in the dirt. Spoilers: it's a bedazzled bottle cap.

Join us on this hot, sweaty afternoon for a thorough discussion of Al Pacino's gripping performance in Sidney Lumet's classic hostage thriller Dog Day Afternoon (1975). 

Another recommend or refute coming at you! Ryan tells us the tale of his family pick The School for Good and Evil (2022). Dixon tells about how much he loves Sam Jackson's dingus (story) and the unique viewing experience he had with The Hateful Eight (2015). And John discovered the remains of Sphere (1998) at the bottom of a mental barrel and decided to hoist it up into the light for all to... acknowledge.

Welcome to Afterthoughts! Join us as we discuss the time Ryan got lost in the woods and had a hilarious encounter with Hundreds of Beavers (2024). This modern slapstick extravaganza is basically what would happen if Charlie Chaplin did Paul Thomas Anderson levels of cocaine and then tried to make a live action version of a Wile E. Coyote episode. It's glorious.

8:05 a.m. - Jackie Reed - Trucker and Bendix Grand Champion Topic: The recent championship that he won. 8:20 a.m. - Michael Guest - US Congressman, MS 3rd District Topic: Current national events and the last week in DC. 8:35 a.m. - Dixon Williams - SuperTalk MS Sports Director Topic: Preview of weekend sports, biggest sports news of the week, etc.

On this episode of Recommend or Refute, Dixon brings Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger, a documentary that --despite his opinions of England-- has impressed him with its historic insights and its Scorsese affiliation. As far as you know, John brings the first horror movie "made for home video audiences" (as far as we know) with Blood Cult (1985). Ryan pushes us home as he talks about his family viewing of Little Miss Sunshine (2006). Get in the van, y'all, we're going off-roading for some of this episode, but by the end we'll be in California.

You may remember that there was a recent assassination attempt on a former president. Or you may have forgotten already thanks to the terrifying pace of the modern news cycle. Either way, Dixon decided to pull us down into the mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma that is Oliver Stone's 1991 thriller JFK.

On this episode of Recommend or Refute, John is Comin' At Ya (1985) with a 3D movie that is so pumped full of visual dimensions it might've forgotten about its character dimensions, Ryan catches us up on a new fantasy anime that reflects on an unconventional hero's journey with Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (2024), and Dixon continues the Lily Gladstone appreciation with Apple TV+'s latest film Fancy Dance (2024).

Join Ryan, John, and Dixon as we attempt to piece together the multi-verse plot lines of this animated acid western.

From classics to cultural to pop cultural, this Recommend or Refute rounds the bases to deliver discussions from the Australian outback's Mad Max 2 (1981), Osmane Sembène's snapshot of a post-colonial Senegal with Mandabi (1968), and the Canadian insanity invading the United States in Tom Greene's Freddy Got Fingered (2001). There's definitely something here for everyone, and if there isn't perhaps you should send us a rec or ref on our discord. See https://theafterpod.transistor.fm/ for more details

We're riding the musical bandwagon now, following our recent episode on Encanto the Afterthoughts crew steps into a much more adult themed musical in the form of John Cameron Mitchell's intimate comedy musical Hedwig and The Angry Inch (2001). Much like Hedwig herself, this film discussion goes on a tour with several unexpected stops. Join Dixon, Ryan, and John as they reflect on Hedwig's approach to the musical and filmmaking, the culture it was released into, and its cultural significance now.

On this very family-friendly episode of Afterthoughts, Ryan's daughter Ella joins the usual crew to share her disdain for Encanto (2021). Will the entire table be down on Disney or is there a faint flicker of favoritism burning in this discussion? It would take a miracle to sway Dixon's feelings on Lin Manuel Miranda, but this might be the episode to do it. Tune in for a swear-free exercise in personal restraint as we pull the door open to reveal what power the casita has given us.

Welcome to the latest episode of Recommend or Refute! Join us as John unpacks Abel Ferrara's Dangerous Game (1993) starring Harvey Keitel and Madonna, Dixon breaks down the trippy John Frankenheimer sci-fi classic Seconds (1966) starring Rock Hudson, and Ryan talks through the new Pixar movie Inside Out 2 (2024).

I actually don't have a coffee in front of me right at the moment. This is a fruit tea, because I've had quite a lot of coffee already today, and therefore, I'm trying to reduce the amount of caffeine in my system. But I'm delighted to be joined by, Lubna Samara. Lubna is a an award winning leadership and well-being coach. She works with healing and she's a best selling author of a book called Beyond Potential. I'm sure we're gonna get into that in just a moment which is a number 1 in 7 categories, including business. So we're gonna talk a little bit how this applies to business.Stuart Webb [00:01:05]:So welcome to It's Not Rocket Science five Questions Over Coffee, Lubna.Lubna Samara [00:01:10]:Hello, Stuart. Hi. Good to be here.Stuart Webb [00:01:12]:Thank you. So so, Lubna, who who is who is it you're trying to help, particularly in in the work you do? And and I know it's not just about healing, but it's about leadership as well.Lubna Samara [00:01:24]:Yes. It is. I am a long standing healer, but I also do leadership coaching and well-being coaching. So I I specifically work for with people at work. And, my work basically, I try and help out anybody in the workplace who needs help, you know, whether you're senior leadership or whether you're kind of lower down the ranks and, you're really struggling. And a lot of people struggle with so many different, issues at work. Burnout tends to be a little bit higher up, you know, with with leadership because they tend to be just so overworked and professional and and perfectionist often Stuart, that kind of five, that character five. But a lot of people feel overlooked in the workplace And 1 of the very common things that we don't often hear about is somebody thinking their boss doesn't like them and they end up feeling marginalized at work because people know what's going on.Lubna Samara [00:02:23]:And when they turn to their colleagues, their colleagues kind of back off. They don't really want to get involved because that might put them in a bad place with their boss. So that is a very common problem, and, strangely enough, it actually works the other way. You know, leaders can be as phased by somebody in their team not being very nice to them as the other way around. And this, you know, these are problems that can be very easily worked with. Then you've got people who have lack of confidence. And without that lack without confidence, often people are scared to speak up. They won't put themselves up for projects.Lubna Samara [00:03:01]:They won't put their hands up. They won't put their input in. And they may have really valuable input, but they don't feel comfortable opening up and sharing because maybe they're scared of ridicule or for whatever reason. So these are, and of course the usual suspects like imposter syndrome is really a big 1 as well, especially with people who are working in a corporate environment and they may not have formal education. These people can have amazing personal resources and knowledge base and skill sets, but they kind of think that over people or their colleagues will not accept them or to the same level. And, they often suffer, you know, sometimes people can suffer from that, and and of course, you know, procrastination, all the usual things that people really suffer with in the workplace, I've dealt with, you know, that'sStuart Webb [00:03:58]:And what do you find people that you are dealing with have have tried in the past, Lubna, to sort of overcome these issues before before they sort of seek help from somebody like yourself?Lubna Samara [00:04:07]:Five mean, the reason why I was smiling is because just, a couple of my clients were very senior. And, 1 of the symptoms of burnout actually that, again, is very little spoken about, is anger management. Now this is 1 of the less appealing manifestations of stress. And, like, these guys have kind of smashed laptops down in meetings, coffee pots, and, and they end up getting blacklisted across the board, right, because of that kind of behavior. And typically, they come to me saying, you know, don't talk to me about my mother. And obviously, obviously, they've been sent to therapy before. You know? So III don't start off with that. We start with the behavioral aspects.Lubna Samara [00:05:00]:And as soon as they feel more in control, they kind of start thinking, well, I I need to look deeper. And then we do go back into that. So that is, 1 aspect, say, of burnout that can really that is more unusual. That is more unusual. But typically most people have tried working on themselves, they've tried personal development, they've tried, they're actually curious. A lot of people already have analyzed and worked out the whole situation and that's 1 of the problems in fact, Because jumping to conclusions can create even more problems and can keep you stuck in a loop.Stuart Webb [00:05:45]:That's amazing. We're gonna get to your to your book and I guess, I'll I'll I'll I'll put a a scroll up now about, your book which is which is Beyond Potential. Stuart to me a little bit about, thank you.Lubna Samara [00:06:00]:Talk toStuart Webb [00:06:01]:me a little bit about about Beyond Potential and and and the sort of advice that you five, in the book.Lubna Samara [00:06:10]:The book deals with all these issues basically. And, more than that though, I mean, apart from it's the way we're working. I, again, as a healer, I'm very keen on raising awareness and so that people can become independent and catch their problems themselves, So we work holistically, body, heart, mind and spirit, and Webb work literally section by section. So in chapter 2, we're really looking at the more physiological kind of problems like triggering and anxiety triggering and jumping to conclusions. It's our expectations. I mean, these are all psychology theories that are very well established that show us how these can get us into into trouble and how to fix them. The the workarounds generally can be quite easy to manage. So the book tells you how to do that.Lubna Samara [00:07:05]:In chapter 3, we look at emotional intelligence and how to raise that. We look at emotional sovereignty and how to bring your awareness back and calm your heart down. It's when our hearts get engaged, our our we lose clarity. When we lose clarity, we we end up stuck. You know, this is really I'm very, very big on clarity and gaining clarity. Through calming the heart and the mind, we start gaining clarity. And, in chapter 3, we look at resilience and empathy. And then we move into chapter 4, which is more about the mind and how to get the mind to to get rid of all the fog in the mind.Lubna Samara [00:07:44]:But also as a healer, I work a lot with the superconscious mind, the higher mind, and coaches these days call this your genius. And accessing that part of our minds and each 1 of us has it, you know, you're born it's a facility you're born with. It's not a question of, you know, you've already got it and chances are almost everybody would have used it, would be using it at some level without really being aware of it. So bringing more awareness to that, developing that brings very tangible benefits to the workplace, five better communications, better focus and concentration, and and inspiring creativity. So and then in chapter 5 Webb then look for me what is the heart of the book is really the spirit aspect Webb we're going deeper into the self, we're looking at values, we're looking at purpose, we're looking at a deeper alignment, we're looking at connecting better to our work environment, to our family, to our community, and to be more authentic, and how to do all of that. So that's the book kind of takes you through all of these chapter by chapter pretty much and in the final chapter, in the beginning of the book, we start by looking at what your dreams were, what did you want to do when you were a child and how has Stuart, what aspects have you taken through into adulthood? And in the final chapter, we end up doing your journey of transformation. So we look at where you are today, what are the challenges that have held you back and taking you to the dreams that you've and your ambitions to and charting that path clearly. So that's basically the book.Stuart Webb [00:09:25]:Brilliant. Brilliant. You have a you have AAA Webb as well, higherwill.com. Are there are there any, pieces of advice, workbooks, and things like that on the on the website which can help people to understand better themselves what they're trying to do?Lubna Samara [00:09:45]:There are a lot of blogs actually on the website. So for instance, there is, 1 blog, to do with values and and and that gives, I give an exercise on team building in that. But the work there is a workbook that comes with the book Beyond Potential, which I've kept at a low price. I mean, it's 2 past 40 for the Kindle version. And, with that, at the end of chapter 1, you can download the workbook for free, which is a substantial document in its own right. It's it's a it's a 50 page document. At the moment, it's free with the book, and, that takes you chapter by chapter through all the exercises. Actually, I was talking to somebody a few days ago, and, he was telling me how he loved 1 of the meditations.Lubna Samara [00:10:31]:And actually it's an energy exercise, a very simple I give you very simple energy exercises in the book, in the workbook, because developing that is a really important aspect, but we'll come to that in a minute I think. But it's, yeah, so he was telling me how much he loved it and how it actually healed his neck, which he was struggling with for some days. And, yeah. So it's and and there are also meditations.Stuart Webb [00:11:00]:There thereLubna Samara [00:11:01]:are a lot of exercises, so that is free with the workbook. I'm sorry. That is free with the book. The workbook is free with the book. And, and also there are a lot of diagrams in the book. And, you also get with the book AAA PDF of all the diagrams in color because they make a lot more sense in color.Stuart Webb [00:11:22]:Tell me, you you you were you're sort of talking that a little bit about, about, these meditations. I mean, how did you how did you discover this? How did you get into it? What was the what was the the the the source of this, for you and and how is how is this helped the leaders that you that you're working with now?Lubna Samara [00:11:41]:Well, that's a good question. I got into it it's a long it's a long story. I was actually, a mathematician who worked in the petroleum industry, then I moved into banking, I did an MBA in finance, and I started seeing energy fields. And, I never really expected to be a healer. I I Webb along, and the first course I went to was in January 93. So it's a long time. And I really just did it to get an experience of what it was about. You know, I was doing a lot of Tai Chi and a lot of meditation which I developed myself and I went to a lot of classes and I kind of put together what I liked, which was about feeling the love cause I see it all around us and focusing on that.Lubna Samara [00:12:32]:It's really, you know, you can focus on all the negativity, which is gonna keep your thoughts over, you know. But if you focus on all the five, you can rise above pretty much anything. And it really is about, you know, the old Oscar Wilde adage, you know, we're all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the Stuart, right? So it's about that. And the meditations really developed out of that. And the guided meditations are part meditations and part energy work. So we start with grounding and grounding and connecting to earth is extremely important and that helps anybody. I mean, people with tech burnout five, in Japan, they send them, they they use forest bathing to to heal people with tech burnout because nature is such an important part and harmonizing our energy fields with nature is extremely important. We can do it through energy healing but you can do it just by going out for long walks in nature.Lubna Samara [00:13:31]:Your energy fields will harmonize and and and nature is a massive healer for us, you know, so everybody benefits from that. You know, this is 1 of the reasons why people go in teams to to to go hiking together and to it resets It sets us all on the same level. We're all equal where nature is concerned and it builds connectedness and it's over healing thing to do.Stuart Webb [00:14:02]:Lubna, we've been talking for a while now and and you've answered some questions very fully. There must be 1 that you're currently thinking. I I do wish you'd ask me about this because that's the real critical question. So tell me what's that question that you really want me to ask and obviously, as you've asked, you will have asked a brilliant questions. You better give us an answer to it. So what's that question you really do think I should have asked you?Lubna Samara [00:14:26]:I'm not sure it's a critical question, but it's a question I've been asked quite a lot since actually I gave the book to my beta readers from the beginning. In the book Webb work with 4 modalities: we work with psychology and coaching as 1 pillar. We work with meditation as a second pillar. Webb work with energy works, energy, the principles of energy healing, and we work with the quest, your questions in what it is in life. Right? Now I've been asked from the beginning, do you need to put the energy works in? What does it contribute? Because it's a bit weird and it might put people off who are who don't believe in it. And I would just say, first of all, there is a lot of research to show that energy healing does work. I mean, clinically, 1 of the largest, I'm with an organization called The Healing Trust and 1 of the largest clinical trials was actually done by 1 of the fellows of the Healing Trusts, Sandy Edwards with Birmingham City University. And the results of that trial were so, Webb so strong that the, doctor Michael Dixon, who's head of the Royal Medical Household and past head of the past chair of the NHS Alliance wrote a forward for the book recommending and I think, I hope I'm getting this right, but I think he recommends that the NHS should take it very seriously and start looking at bringing in healers into the NHS to cut costs.Lubna Samara [00:16:01]:So there's a lot of research, a lot of it is in the book, throughout the book is kind of peppered in. But for me, I really wanted to put it in because as somebody who myself was skeptical about it and I was kind of, when I was still working in banking and I started seeing energy fields and I started doing a lot of Tai Chi and meditation, somebody stopped me and said, you know, you've got very strong energy, you should do energy healing. And I was like, I don't do that. I'm a mathematician. And then I caught myself and I thought, oh God, I hate that kind of thinking, I'm gonna go. And so I did really, I went really as to find out a little bit more about it and how it works. And by the 3rd session I came out, you know, I was like, wow. You know, I was really I felt struck and I was thinking Webb use 5 to 7% of our cognitive processes.Lubna Samara [00:16:58]:This is some of the rest. And I realized I'm not using my usual kind of mind. So in a nutshell, energy healing, just developing the faculty. I don't teach in the book how to heal other people, but just to develop the faculty and to understand the basics, give you very basic exercises to heal yourself, but it you can't heal without empathy. Okay? It's really it's it's it's it so it really develops your empathy. It really develops your intuition because you're using your intuitive faculties. And I teach you how to do that in the book in order to connect more fully to your over senses. And you see people from Oprah Winfrey Stuart to to Jeff, gosh I've forgotten his name, the guy who started Amazon.Stuart Webb [00:17:50]:Bezos.Lubna Samara [00:17:51]:Thank you. All of them attribute their success to their intuition. And research even shows that of leaders over successful, very successful people over a 10 year period, all of them, most of them attribute their success to their intuition. So this is extremely important, faculty. And healing helps you to develop that awareness, but also it helps you to connect your higher mind. So we heal with that and, the practice of it, the discipline of it. If I had my way, I would get children to do that at school and get them to develop it very early on because the benefits are so powerful. And so that's really the 1 question that I would have asked you.Stuart Webb [00:18:35]:Lopne, thank you very much for for spending a few minutes with us and and talking about that.

Meet us on Main Street when the sun reaches its highest point to discuss the controversial 1952 western High Noon, starring Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly. Hated by John Wayne, revered by US presidents, and acclaimed as one of the greatest American westerns of all time, does High Noon resonate with the Afterthoughts crew? It's a bit of a mixed bag.

On this two-person episode of Afterthoughts, John and Dixon record an extended discussion of Kinds of Kindness (2024). Originally it was planned to be a Recommend or Refute entry, but with the amount of thoughts we had after seeing the film merited something more. Love it or hate it, join John and Dixon for a recap and discussion on the latest film from writer/director Yorgos Lanthimos. If you have Afterthoughts of your own, send them our way. You can find all the ways to reach us at theafterpod.transistor.fm

On this episode of Recommend or Refute, Ryan sneaks in a twofer with his tribute watches of the River Phoenix vehicles Explorers (1985) and Stand By Me (1986), John tells us all about The Invention of Lying (2009) but will he tell the truth when it comes to recommending or refuting it? Finally, Dixon closes out the discussion by talking about Nothing But a Man (1964).
