Artist and film scholar Isabelle Roig has been hacking into super secret Neil Breen-related databases, discovering more than any hacker ever has ever! Bravely disclosing it to twisted pair Josh and Andrew, what she has found will shock them. Taking a more fair reading on the “so-bad-it's-good” filmmaker, the trio try to make sense of his cult film Fateful Findings, unraveling all the genre-mashing, carpeted McMansion hospitals, vague conspiracies, and Breen's uncanny ability to force his young female co-stars into being attracted to him. Grab your magic rock and look into this cinematic funhouse mirror that gave our hosts something that can only be described as neo-Lynchian. Then, they have One More Thing, recommending film critic Alisha Mughal's It Can't Rain All the Time, a Pop Classics analysis on The Crow, and Burt Reynolds' action-packed “moonshine melodrama” White Lightning.Next week, in preparation for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, Josh and Andrew go back to one of his early works, the twisty and beloved magician thriller The Prestige (or was it The Illusionist?).Until then, read on at thetake-up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

We're slowing down with John 21. It's such an important story that John, the careful storyteller, cannot bring himself to close his gospel without giving us one final look at the heart of Jesus for His Followers.

While Apex has the thrills of the survival thriller down, its human center needs work. Read more at: https://scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/.

What if the future isn't something we're trying to predict... but something we're trying to understand about ourselves?The stories we tell about tomorrow often reveal more about today than we realize.In this thoughtful conversation, Michael sits down with author and cultural thinker Amy Bernstein to explore why speculative fiction has become one of the most powerful ways to make sense of an uncertain world. Together, they examine how imagination helps us process fear, hope, identity, and the questions that refuse to leave us alone.Their conversation moves beyond books into something deeply human—why creativity matters when the world feels unsettled, what art can say that facts alone never can, and how the stories we create often become the mirrors that help us recognize ourselves.Along the way, they explore:• Why speculative fiction is having a cultural moment.• How imagined futures help us navigate real-world uncertainty.• The courage it takes to keep creating when doubt is loud.• Why artists often challenge the stories society tells us to accept.• What fiction reveals about identity, belonging, and the future we're quietly building together.If you've ever wondered why certain stories stay with you long after you've closed the book, this conversation offers an answer—and perhaps a few new questions worth carrying with you.Because sometimes the most revealing stories aren't about the future at all.They're about who we're becoming.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

Some lives force us to ask uncomfortable questions: Who decides who we become? What happens when the identities we've built our lives around suddenly disappear? And how do we begin again without pretending the past never happened?In this thoughtful, unhurried conversation, Michael sits down with Hakeem Bourne McFarlane, founder of the Choose Yourself movement, to explore identity, belonging, resilience, and the quiet work of becoming whole.Growing up mixed-race in a home marked by addiction and silence, Hakeem learned early to earn acceptance instead of expecting it. Athletics became his purpose. Achievement became his language. But after five knee surgeries, chronic pain, addiction, and ultimately incarceration, the life he'd built around performance came undone.What followed wasn't a dramatic overnight transformation—it was something far more difficult: radical honesty.Together, Michael and Hakeem explore how identity is shaped by family, culture, trauma, and expectation; why discipline can become a pathway to freedom; and what it truly means to choose yourself—not as a slogan, but as a daily practice.A cinematic, deeply human conversation about belonging, self-worth, and the stories we inherit—and the ones we decide to write for ourselves.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

This week, Andrew and Josh take a trip down to 70s Watts to talk about Charles Burnett's slice-of-life masterpiece Killer of Sheep! Going into a film all about "This Bitter Earth", they analyze the down-to-earth quality and humor Burnett brings into his potentially woeful premise, the hidden impact Killer of Sheep had over the decades, its scattered release history, and if it's the most definitively American film ever made (New York Times recently seems to think so). Then, they go into One More Thing, recommending AppleTV's hit horror-comedy show Widow's Bay, and a new Vulture interview with Odyssey translator Emily Wilson, “No One Has Dealt With More Angry Odyssey Bros Than Emily Wilson”. Next week, our hosts bring out guest/filmmaker Emile Parseghian to talk about WWII thriller Army of Shadows.

What happens when the identity you were handed… no longer fits the person you're becoming?In Part One of this special two‑part cinematic conversation, Michael sits down with Leah Renee — the only ex‑Mormon housewife turned stand‑up comedian she's ever met. Before the comedy stages, before the sold‑out shows, before the reinvention… there was a life built inside a belief system she once thought she'd never leave.In this first half of her story, Leah opens up about:• Growing up devout Mormon in a single‑parent military home• The early cracks in her identity• The moment she realized the life she was living wasn't truly hers• The pressure of being a Mormon mother of three• The creative spark she buried for years• The internal unraveling that set her transformation in motionThis episode is raw, funny, emotional, and deeply human — the origin story of a woman who would go on to rebuild her entire life from the ground up.And just when we reach the moment everything begins to shift… Part One ends.Because Part Two — dropping this Sunday — dives into the transformation itself:• Leaving Mormonism • The kitchen birth • Losing 90 pounds • Touring Europe • Becoming a four‑time Edinburgh Fringe performer • Finding her comedic voice • Rebuilding her identity from scratchIf you've ever felt the pull toward a life you haven't yet lived, this two‑part episode is for you.Stay tuned — Part Two arrives Sunday, taking the place of our usual Over the Teacup special.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

Art is more than color on canvas — it's memory, identity, and the way a culture says, “We were here.” In this powerful conversation, Michael sits down with Dr. Archana Srivastava, TEDx speaker, PhD historian, award‑winning artist, and founder of ArtSage and Les Trésors Art Gallery.

Dr. Archana shares her journey as an “artrepreneur,” her work bridging legendary masters with emerging artists, and her fight to protect the stories that shaped a civilization.This episode invites listeners to reflect on legacy, identity, and the responsibility we all share in preserving the beauty and wisdom of the past.This episode explores: • Why artists are the original disruptors • How creativity shapes leadership and innovation • The disappearance of India's folk & tribal art • What's at stake when cultural memory fades • The founding of Les Trésors Art Gallery • How ArtSage supports artists with resources, technology & opportunity • What legacy truly means in a changing worldFind us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

Have you ever completely fallen apart over something small… only to realize later it wasn't really about that thing at all?Sometimes emotional overwhelm isn't caused by one moment. Sometimes it's weeks of stress, fear, shame, exhaustion, criticism, bad luck, and pressure piling up until one final thing breaks the dam.In this minisode from The BPD Bunch, a side conversation turns into an honest discussion about emotional overwhelm, crying in public, shame, recovery, and what happens when emotions finally catch up with you.The cast shares stories about breaking down at work, crying in front of authority figures, feeling embarrassed by emotional reactions, surviving impossible weeks, and learning that sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is stop fighting your emotions and let yourself feel them.What starts as a tangent becomes one of the most honest conversations from the recording session.We talk about:* BPD and emotional overwhelm* Shame after emotional reactions* Crying in public* Emotional sensitivity* Fear of criticism* Recovery from BPD* Emotional regulation* BPD and workplace stressIf you've ever felt embarrassed by your emotions, judged yourself for having a hard day, or wondered why one small thing suddenly pushed you over the edge, you're not alone.For the next few weeks, we're taking a short break from our AMPD deep dive and answering some of your questions instead. Don't worry though, we'll be back on June 24 to pick up where we left off.⸻

Xcode quietly Sherlocked the Codex app, SwiftUI got reorderable containers and (finally) AsyncImage caching, and Aaron spotted some very suspicious folding phone tea leaves in the new Simulator replacement.## Chapters00:08 Introductions 01:31 Reviewing The Trio's "Universal UI" Concept 02:39 Comparison of "AI" Apps: Siri, Claude, Codex, ChatGPT 05:43 Multimodal Prompts & Private Cloud Compute 07:26 Foundation Model Device Requirements 09:50 Dynamic Profiles and Custom Model Configurations 13:41 Xcode 27 Sherlocked the Codex App 15:42 Xcode and Developer Tool Evolution 21:47 SwiftUI Updates: Reordering and AsyncImage Cache 26:14 A Grab Bag of Random Stuff 28:23 App Actions and Siri Integration 35:04 No Apple Claw? 39:09 Swift Compiler Unable to Type Check Error 40:37 Final Impressions 42:02 Folding Phone Tea Leaves 43:07 Snow Leopard Speed Improvements 43:53 Wrap Up & One More Thing... 45:50 Tag ## Show Notes- Steve declares 2026 the start of the "Universal UI era," with a live Siri demo that actually worked as his primary evidence.- Aaron clocked the demo as mostly staring at a loading spinner; Steve argues Apple had to prove the on-device inference wasn't faked this time.- The Foundation Models framework supports dynamic profiles: configurable system prompts, temperatures, and thinking budgets per scenario within a single app.- Xcode 27 ships an agentic coding UI seemingly inspired by the Codex app, prompting Kotaro to ask point-blank: "Are you saying they Sherlocked Codex?"- SwiftUI finally has a reorderable container, which The Trio immediately wants in Bento Fit after a previous attempt even an "AI" agent couldn't pull off.- AsyncImage gets a built-in cache after years of third-party workarounds; Steve suspects some intern with an unlimited Claude Code budget finally got it done.- App Actions now supports natural language invocation without requiring specific phrases or app name mentions, though exact limits remain fuzzy.- Aaron flags resizable iOS windows (previously iPad-only) and an arbitrary-aspect-ratio Simulator replacement as very suspicious folding phone tea leaves.- Kotaro closes on Snow Leopard-style speed wins across the board, including 80% faster AirDrop, because speed is still a feature worth shipping.## Links**One More Thing**Cleo Family: https://www.cleofamily.app/track**PhillyCocoa:** https://phillycocoa.orgIntro music: "When I Hit the Floor", © 2021 Lorne Behrman.
