In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary Lipovetsky sits down with Sophie Elgort, a fashion and celebrity photographer, Forbes 30 Under 30 alum, and creator of Portrait Mode with Sophie Elgort, a PBS/All Arts series that began as an Instagram idea during COVID. Sophie has photographed names like Brooke Shields, Naomi Watts, and the Jenner sisters, while building a career that extends far beyond being behind the lens. Together, Gary and Sophie unpack why talented creatives often stay invisible, why being great at your craft is no longer enough, and how personal branding has become a major advantage for photographers, artists, stylists, makeup artists, and behind-the-scenes creatives. Sophie shares why getting credited matters, how social media can become a form of outreach, and why putting your work out consistently can create opportunities that traditional networking often cannot. The conversation also dives into Sophie's journey of building her own name while growing up as the daughter of legendary photographer Arthur Elgort, the pressure of proving herself in a competitive industry, and the reality of balancing creative work, business, content, and motherhood. Sophie opens up about being repeatedly rejected while pitching her show, learning to keep going despite rejection, and turning a simple creative experiment with her father into a PBS series. Gary and Sophie also discuss the future of creative work, including how creatives can build repeatable content systems, capture situational content, use writing to deepen their voice, and leverage tools like AI without losing authenticity. This episode is for any creator, artist, photographer, or entrepreneur who wants to stop waiting to be discovered and start building their own career, audience, and legacy.

Genre: Thriller: In dieser Episode sprechen wir über den Film Demolition aus dem Jahr 2015 mit Jake Gyllenhaal und Naomi Watts. Gemeinsam widmen wir uns der Handlung des Films und geben dabei einen kurzen Spoilerhinweis, bevor wir auf die wichtigsten erzählerischen Aspekte eingehen. Ein weiterer Fokus liegt auf den schauspielerischen Leistungen, insbesondere auf der Darstellung der Hauptfigur durch Jake Gyllenhaal. Darüber hinaus beschäftigen wir uns mit den Themen Verlust, Trauer und emotionaler Verarbeitung und analysieren, wie der Film diese Inhalte durch seine Bildsprache und Symbolik vermittelt. Dabei greifen wir unter anderem verschiedene Symboliken und die Darstellung innerer Zerrissenheit auf. Zusätzlich sprechen wir darüber, wie der Trailer einen bestimmten Eindruck des Films erzeugte und weshalb sich dieser von der tatsächlichen Stimmung und Erzählweise unterscheiden kann. Abschließend thematisieren wir unsere Bewertungskriterien zwischen emotionaler Wirkung und technischer Umsetzung.

£30m is being invested in the games industry in the UK, mainly to help develop ideas for the next big games. But will this government funding benefit women, in an industry where just 16% of leadership roles in UK studios are held by women and women-founded studios receive less than 3% of total investment? Nuala McGovern is joined by Marie-Claire Isaaman, CEO of Women in Games, and Kirsty Ridgen, CEO of FuturLab studios and Deputy Chair of the UK Video Games Council.The use of illegal, unregistered children's homes in England has surged by more than 370% in five years, according to a new report, Hidden Children: An investigation into Unregistered Children's Homes, published by Commonweal Housing and written by Public First. To discuss some of the reasons behind this, the implications and what can be done, Nuala is joined by Fraser McLean, Policy and Communications Manager for the charity Commonweal Housing and Rebekah Pierre, Deputy Director of the charity Article 39, who fight for children's rights in England.Sheer fashion – that is clothing with a see-through element - is having a moment. Actors Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Watts have all worn it recently. And all of these women are over 50. So, what's the appeal? And is there judgement of women of a certain age wearing ‘invisible clothes?' Nuala is joined by Deborah Joseph, former editor of Glamour magazine and Kassia St Clair, a cultural historian to talk about the latest trend for see-through materials.'Men's health to get 60% more new funding than women's' - that's a headline in the Times newspaper today, comparing the women's health strategy, published by government earlier this month with the men's health strategy that was launched last November. Rosie Taylor is an independent investigative journalist reporting on women's health in the UK who worked on this for the Times and she joins Nuala.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright settle into a new Thursday night 10:30 PM ET time slot with a deep dive into David Cronenberg's 2007 crime drama Eastern Promises, written by Steven Knight and starring Viggo Mortensen, Naomi Watts, Vincent Cassel, and Armin Mueller-Stahl. The guys unpack why this stoic, brutal character study is more than a mob movie. It's a meditation on moral relativism, the weapons of the enemy, and the blurry line between systems and sovereigns. Along the way, they argue that stories (not facts) are the real terrain of the info war, using Nikolai's undercover FSB operation as a lens for understanding narrative warfare, controlled opposition, and what it really means when you can't verify any of the "real" stories being fed through your screen. They also wander into the Russian Vory code, the Ukrainian oligarch pipeline, Putin's strange bureaucratic war on the criminal underworld, the Donbas trafficking pipeline, and why Nikolai's tattoo ceremony is really a ritual of dehumanization. Plus, a sneak peek at next week's pick: No Country for Old Men.

Carie cannot possibly care about the human love story that's in the middle of all that somewhere. And the siblings both have a lot of love for Naomi Watts' uncanny performance as Miss Anne Darrow, the one true love of King Kong's life. SUPPORT US ON PATREON!

Valerie asked me, “How are you going to explain this?” Trippy. It's David Lynch and it's trippy. It's also an antiplot story with characters who have two identities. Where is the speech in praise of the villain and what arc does the story and protagonist have? Well…it's a mix of pessimistic, dreamy, constant, whoa, what is going on, and none. Pick and choose.

“Silencio.” Join Ian & Liam for our 322nd episode as we drive headfirst into the dream logic, fractured identities, and eerie Hollywood mythology of David Lynch's Mulholland Drive (2001). Coffee is poured, clues are scattered, and certainty is politely asked to leave the room. We're later joined for The Endgame by BFF of the BFE: Shai Bergerfroind, the man responsible for bringing this cinematic puzzle to the podcast in the first place. This week we discuss: David Lynch's dream architecture — narrative fragments, emotional logic, and whether Mulholland Drive is meant to be solved… or simply experienced. Naomi Watts' astonishing dual performance — hopeful ingénue, shattered dreamer, and everything in between. Is this one of the great performances of the 2000s? Laura Harring's enigmatic presence — mystery, glamour, and the gravitational pull of Rita's identity crisis. Ian examines Lynch's vision of Hollywood — a seductive fantasy factory that quietly devours the people chasing it. Liam attempts to untangle the film's structure — where the dream ends, where reality begins, and whether those categories even apply. The Club Silencio sequence — performance, illusion, and the film's thesis delivered in one haunting set-piece. The supporting characters — gangsters, directors, hitmen, and cowboys. Comic absurdity or pieces of a much larger symbolic puzzle? The film's treatment of identity and reinvention — Hollywood as both dream machine and nightmare engine. Shai Bergerfroind joins us for The Endgame — helping us unpack why this film matters so much to him, how he reads the film's emotional core, and whether the mystery is actually the point. The ending — devastating revelation, emotional collapse, or simply another layer of the dream. And finally, whether Mulholland Drive is the Best Film Ever — or one of the most hypnotic and endlessly interpretable films ever made Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE We are extremely thankful to our following Patrons for their most generous support: Juleen from It Goes Down In The PM Hermes Auslander James DeGuzman Synthia Shai Bergerfroind Ariannah Who Loves BFE The Most Paul Komoroski Duane Smith (Duane Smith!)

What do you mean, you're not a subscriber yet? Solve that problem HERE. Mia & Amelia are (still) obsessed with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy (CBK) so they’re back for Part 2 of their deep dive into the TV series Love Story. From Naomi Watts’ depiction of real-life icon Jackie O to the complex roles of Darryl Hannah and the Kennedy matriarchs, they’re unpacking what it must have been like to marry into the complicated Kennedy family. Plus, Mia and Amelia examine the toxic dynamics that defined the couple’s public life and break down that infamous Central Park fight scene. Was it a moment of passion, or was it "emotional dysregulation"? They also discuss the poignant newsletter from the couple’s close friend Carole Radziwill, who explains why she refuses to watch the show and the unsettling question of whether why the dead are never allowed to rest in peace in the age of AI. It’s a raw and slightly uncomfortable look at how we consume the tragedies of the past as modern entertainment. Remember, this is your free sample of today's subs episode.

Two drippy knuckleheads go on stiltingly at length about a movie about a variety of drippy knuckleheads doing stuff? Nah, just kidding!

That's right, it's Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast, and this time we're covering Macon Blair's 2023 remake of The Toxic Avenger, starring Naomi Watts!

Flashdance leading man Michael Nouri sits down with Steve Kmetko for a wide-ranging, funny, and unexpectedly emotional conversation about his decades in Hollywood — from Goodbye, Columbus and Flashdance to Broadway, Victor/Victoria, Yellowstone, and beyond. Michael looks back on the night the acting bug bit him in a high school Gilbert & Sullivan production, his early stage days with legends like Julie Harris, and bombing his very first movie line opposite Ali MacGraw in Goodbye, Columbus. He talks about trying to dodge the Vietnam draft, enlisting, and then being honorably discharged because the Army literally couldn't find boots big enough for his size-16 feet. Of course, he dives into Flashdance: the terrible reviews, the electric audience reaction, that rare standing ovation in Westwood, working with director Adrian Lyne, producers Simpson & Bruckheimer, and co-star Jennifer Beals (plus their canine scene partner, Grunt). He explains how the massive success of the film didn't translate into the career momentum he'd hoped for, the movie with William Friedkin that fell apart, and how he ended up in Bay City Blues alongside a then-unknown Sharon Stone instead. Michael also shares powerful stories from touring South Pacific right after 9/11 — including emotional nightly renditions of “God Bless America” with audiences arm-in-arm — and the chance encounter with Blake Edwards that led to him starring opposite Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria, complete with a custom song by Henry Mancini. He reflects on aging in Hollywood, evolving from leading man to dads, granddads, and senators, still auditioning for filmmakers like Bradley Cooper, and staying grateful that the phone keeps ringing. Along the way, he remembers working with Sean Connery, F. Murray Abraham, Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Kelly Reilly, and even Anna Nicole Smith, plus the life lesson he learned the hard way trying to approach Luciano Pavarotti backstage. He also opens up about political anxiety, the emotional toll of the news cycle, the importance of community, and why he now protects his peace by switching from cable news to TCM. And yes, we meet Charlie, his “heart on four legs,” and hear how daily meditation keeps him grounded after more than five decades in the business. If you love Flashdance, classic Hollywood stories, Broadway memories, and honest talk about surviving and adapting in this business, this episode is a gem.

Ryan Murphy's latest show All's Fair centers on an all-female law firm led by Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, and Niecy Nash-Betts.

It's got us wondering: Is it fair that Murphy's unleashed this utter silliness upon the world?Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Can I just pay for my, like, mozzarella sticks" - Nic This week, Myopia Movies continue Creepy Kid Movie Month with The Ring — the iconic, blue-green, early-2000s mood piece that taught us two essential truths: never trust a VHS tape without a label, and if a horse looks at you funny on a ferry… just walk away. We dive into Gore Verbinski's eerie remake, the very specific shade of Pacific Northwest Depression Filter™, Naomi Watts' crusade against cursed media, and the seven-day slow decline of a family held together mostly by caffeine and denial. Along the way, the panel examines horse suicides, VHS nostalgia, Pacific Northwest lighthouses, creepy kids named Aiden, and the logistics of a ghost girl committing long-distance murder through a Zenith television.

It's been a buzzy week at the Vogue offices. On Tuesday night, Zohran Mamdani made history as the first Muslim, the first person of South Asian descent, and the youngest in a century to hold the Mayoral position. Vogue's Fashion News Editor, José Criales-Unzueta, joins Chloe and Nicole to discuss the newly announced mayor's style — along with that of his effortlessly chic Gen Z illustrator wife, Rama Duwaji, who stunned last night in a black lace Ulla Johnson skirt and Zeid Hijazi top. Together, they explore how fashion choices can reflect our beliefs, values, and sense of identity.Then, writer Mattie Kahn comes to the Vogue offices to talk to Chloe about Vogue's December cover story that she wrote about Timothee Chalamet. She talks about the challenges of pinning down time to speak with the busy actor who was filming the newest Dune film in Budapest and also working on performance art promotional videos for his upcoming film, Marty Supreme, set to go to the big screen on Christmas Day.. Plus, Kim Kardashian gets candid with Chloe about taking on her first major acting role (apart from American Horror Story) as Allura Grant in the new Hulu series All's Fair. The show features an all-star cast of women — including Naomi Watts, Teyana Taylor, Glenn Close, and Niecy Nash — the latter of whom Kim says mentored her in acting. Ryan Murphy, who created the series, said he was inspired by the line “Not only am I a lawyer in real life, I play one on TV,” which he felt perfectly suited Kim. He also drew inspiration from the well-known Hollywood lawyer Laura Wasser — whose father, notably, represented Kim's parents during their separation decades before representing Kim in her own divorce. Kim also shares behind-the-scenes details of her fabulous on-screen wardrobe, from a 1992 Jean Paul Gaultier suit with a surprising back reveal to the iconic Donna Karan power suits she sourced with her stylist, Soki Mak, for the role.

Menopause is having a moment. Celebrities like Halle Berry, Naomi Watts, and Michelle Obama have recently shared their personal menopause experiences. Menopause and perimenopause are showing up across social media and even in popular books. All this to say, menopause has finally gone mainstream. But, it wasn't until about three decades ago that menopause research really kicked into gear. Since then, scientists have made a lot of progress in understanding the basic biological process as well as treatments like hormone therapy and the importance of separating symptoms of menopause from those of aging. Host Flora Lichtman talks with two menopause researchers, ob-gyn Monica Christmas and epidemiologist Carrie Karvonen-Gutierrez, about what we've learned so far—and what misconceptions bug them most.Guests: Dr. Monica Christmas is an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Chicago and director of the menopause program at UChicago Medicine.Dr. Carrie Karvonen-Gutierrez is an associate professor of epidemiology and the director of the Center for Midlife Science at the University of Michigan.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
