Join Steve Soter, Catherine Tsai, and Mike Gravagno for the final episode of Off the Books! Reflect on five incredible years of exploring accounting, finance, and risk (and so much more). Dive into the history of the show, laugh (or not!) along with the accounting memes, and celebrate nearly 200 episodes.

In our final episode, Matt Kelly of Radical Compliance helps us make sense of the recent executive order that paused enforcement of the  Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Funny enough, it does not in fact mean you can bribe anyone, Matt warns. While you couldn't bribe us to make more episodes of Off the Books, you can definitely check out seven seasons' worth of past episodes at workiva.com/off-the-books-podcast.

Is the latest Captain America film a bold step forward, or a symptom of a larger malaise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? We grapple with this question, flying into Captain America: Brave New World, not just as a superhero spectacle, but as a cultural artifact reflecting our anxieties about legacy, power, and the very nature of heroism.Sam Wilson's transition from Falcon to Captain America is a referendum on what it means to inherit a symbol in a world that no longer understands symbols. Is he a worthy successor to Steve Rogers, or is he fighting a "broken system?" The answer, it seems, is as complex and multifaceted as the Vibranium shield itself.But the film's struggles extend beyond its titular hero. It is not, for example, truly a Captain America story. It is a backdoor pilot for a new era of Marvel, one where interconnected lore trumps individual narrative coherence and a legacy sequel to a 17-year-old film. And so we talk about the film's connective tissue, tracing that lineage back to The Incredible Hulk and pondering its implications for the future of the MCU.What of the villains? Is the Leader a chilling reflection of real-world anxieties about misinformation and control, or is he a pastiche of too-familiar tropes? We examine the film's political undertones, questioning whether its geopolitical machinations are a sophisticated commentary on our times or a sort-of manifestation of a collection of writers who have heard of “The West Wing.” Joining Pete Wright to unpack these thorny issues are Tommy Metz III, Steve Sarmento, Justin Jeager, and Mike Gravagno. Together, they steer through the film's strengths and weaknesses, its moments of brilliance, and its frustrating missteps, arriving at a verdict that highlights a good will toward the characters, and even the future films on the docket, in spite of a troubling outing this time. Links & NotesJoin the TruStory FM DiscordBecome a Supporting MemberTheatrical trailerLetterboxdCheck out Mike Gravagno on Movie of the Year and The Superhero Show Show

Minute Eighty Four: From Thor Running at Loki to Another Downed Mercenary... But From Whom?Mike Gravagno from The Superhero Show Show and Movie of the Year joins us in this episode!In the eighty-fourth minute of The Avengers...We're really focused on the filial bond that's broken in this minute. Once again, Loki manages to trick Thor, this time with his illusion to get Thor into the cell. It plays well, but why doesn't Loki actually cause more mischief? Wear funny outfits, play funny tricks, etc.? He doesn't really get to do much of that ever throughout the series, barring a few bits in Thor: The Dark World as Gravagno points out. We also talk about how dark of a character he is here, and how it's interesting how easy it is for audiences to forgive this genocidal maniac just because Tom Hiddleston's so charming and the character's fun. It's in line with characters like Hannibal Lecter. We get more fighting between Barton and Romanoff. Where is everyone though? Why is this part of the ship so barren? It's a shame their fight isn't very exciting. It does have cool moves though, and it gives us a chance to talk about Barton's dagger.The minute ends back in the cell as Thor hits the glass. Why doesn't he keep hitting it though? Surely, he'd get out before Loki had a chance to open the door and drop him, and even if he didn't, he'd be closer to out of the cell and have an easier time stopping Loki. But Loki decides to play dirty and is about to drop him when a mysterious figure knocks out the mercenary. But who? We won't find out today, but Gravagno does get to talk about his love of Coulson.

For the Season Nine Finale this week, we are taking a look back at the beginning of Catalyst. Chapman University Faculty, and Catalyst Co-host, Ryan Haley, and his Season's Eight and Nine Co-host, Mike Gravagno speak with former Catalyst hosts Taryn Stoop and Shannon Halverson about how the podcast came into existence, what its purpose was, and how it has evolved through the CCI 304: Creative and Cultural Industries in Practice Course. The four also discuss how their backgrounds in the liberal arts, both through education and work, have influenced what they are doing today. Gravagno who graduated from Columbia University with a BA in Creative Writing Nonfiction and went on to earn his MFA in creative writing from Chapman University in 2018, talks about how his education and work in podcasting has lead him to his current position as Senior Content Marketing Specialist at Workiva.  Stroop who is also an alum of Chapman, graduating with a BA in Sociology in 2010, relates how her background and extensive work experience in the creative and cultural industries contributed to her career, and her current position as the Recreation Coordinator for the City of Tumwater Parks and Recreation Department. Halverson, who is currently the Program Manager for the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at Chapman University and Stroop touch on early recording days of Catalyst, when Gravagno helped to record and produce the episodes. They look at how that format transitioned under Haley's course, and how the students now fully produce the interview sections of the show each season.  The quartet wrap the interview with some musings on where they think the cultural and creative industries are headed in a post pandemic, AI filled future.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on’ experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of season 5 consists of two segments, with each segment featuring a different interview by one or more CCI students, who explore different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. To begin our show Samantha Young and her fellow interviewer Javari Hunt catch up with Troy Charbonnet, a working freelance film editor in the music industry. With editing credits that include working with artists such as Jack Harlow, Future, Halsey, and Roddy Rich to name but a few, Troy illuminates what it can be like as such a young working creative in Hollywood. In the final section of the episode, and the season, former Catalyst producer Mike Gravagno comes back to interview current CCI faculty/Catalyst producer Ryan Haley to talk about Catalyst through the years. Ryan and Mike discuss some show highlights, season 5 quarantine challenges as well as what exciting new things listeners of the podcast can expect in season 6!

Catalyst Season Four, Part two sees Ryan Haley, taking over host duties. Ryan, currently the co-host of three independent podcasts, and producer of an additional two, has also written and taught several podcasting workshops with his podcasting partner, and Chapman University Alum, Mike Gravagno. He is also teaches CCI 304 for the CCI Minor Program, through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at Chapman University. In this season four, part two trailer he gives us a little background on what Catalyst is up two this season. While the focus of this podcast has always been to give listeners a chance to learn about the Creative and Cultural Industries, season four is putting this task in the hands of Chapman University students. All of the hosts and interviewers you’ll hear from for the rest of this season are Chapman students who have completed the Podcasting class, which is just one of the topics offered through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries course: 304-Creative and Cultural Industries in Practice. In class, Ryan focuses on the relationship between theory and practice, meaning that after discussions focused on the importance of podcasts in modern media, his students go out and create their own podcast segments. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability were able to contribute to Chapman’s Catalyst podcast, with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on’ experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. So stay tuned to hear what our remarkable students have been up to, as we launch the conclusion to season four!
