Marcelo Rubens Paiva was 11 when armed men came and took his father away. Brazil was under a military dictatorship at the time. Marcelo's father was an opponent and was killed for it. His mother Eunice Paiva was now alone, raising five children. For decades she fought for answers from the state. She became a prominent lawyer and human rights defender and helped to set up Brazil's Truth Commission. But when Eunice started to develop Alzheimer's disease it fell to Marcelo, by now a successful author, to tell the family's story. That story has been made into an Oscar-winning film - I'm Still Here. And it's reignited a national debate in Brazil, about the past and the present.Presenter: Jo Fidgen Interpreter: Fernando Duarte Producer: Helen FitzhenryGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784

We discuss the film's raw depiction of 1970s New York, Hackman's method acting, and the influences this movie has had on crime and thriller genres. This episode also touches on the unsung hero behind the camera, William Friedkin, and his unique directorial style that forever changed the landscape of action filmmaking. Don't miss our take on one of the most influential crime films ever made!

Every-now-and-then we stumble across unassuming movies that blow our socks off. Anatomy of a Fall is one of these. There's so much to love about this movie which is a masterclass in character, mystery, tension, and nearly every story telling principle we've discussed on the podcast. Of course, there's a great deal to learn about progressive complications and the climatic moment. -M For access to writing templates and worksheets, and more than 70 hours of training (all for free), subscribe to Valerie's Inner Circle.To learn to read like a writer, visit Melanie's website.Follow Valerie on Instagram and Threads @valerie_francisFollow Melanie on X, Instagram and Facebook @MelanieHillAuthor

Academy Award-winning vegan filmmaker and former National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos joins us to share how he is using the power of storytelling to spark transformation for animal rights, human health, and environmental conservation. Highlights include: How The Cove, his Oscar-wining documentary and the first documentary to sweep all the film guilds, inspired activism that helped reduce dolphin and porpoise slaughter in Japan by over 90%; How his team's audacious projection events of endangered species on iconic buildings including The Empire State Building, The United Nations and The Vatican for their film Racing Extinction, received over 5.4 billion media views and led to laws that protect some of Earth's most endangered animals; How his third film, The Game Changers, a film about plant-based super athletes that exposes the myth that meat is necessary for protein, strength, and optimal health, triggered a 350% spike in online searches within a month of premiering on Netflix; What his Netflix Series, You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment, uncovered about the 8-week health benefits of plant-based eating, and how the results went viral; His most recent film Mission: Joy a buddy film starring his Holiness, The Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu about how to find joy in a world of sorrow has been seen by 10's of millions of people around the globe; Where Louie's focus is turning next: a new film exposing the destructive health impacts of plastic. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/louie-psihoyos   OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.

Anora recently cleaned up at this year's Oscars, winning five awards, including best picture. Directed by Sean Baker, the movie follows an enterprising sex worker (Mikey Madison), who links up with a very rich and very immature young man (Mark Eydelshteyn).

For the week of March 10-16, 2025, on The Weekly Transit, we explore the theme of Releasing Control as the Full Moon in Virgo illuminates what we may be holding on to too tightly. Scott begins with Oscar insights, examining the astrological profiles of winners Zoe Saldana and Adrien Brody, both born with the Moon aligning with their Ascendant—a powerful placement shared by many acclaimed actors, including Robert De Niro, Barbara Streisand, and Jack Nicholson. He also explores the common Mercury-Neptune aspects in all five Oscar-nominated directors, revealing how this planetary combination enables them to translate fantasy into reality through storytelling.This week's transits begin with Mercury conjunct Venus retrograde in Aries (March 8-14), creating a potent invitation to articulate who you are, what you want, and what you're willing to give in return. Simultaneously, the Sun, conjunct Saturn in Pisces (March 9-14), asks you to take responsibility for your dreams and confront what's holding you back. These transits culminate in the Full Moon in Virgo at 23° (March 13), the sixth consecutive full moon at approximately 23-24°, continuing a pattern that has repeatedly aligned with Uranus in Taurus since October—revolutionizing our relationship to the material world.The week concludes with Mercury turning retrograde at 9° Aries (March 14), beginning three weeks of reflection on authentic self-expression that will culminate with the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29. Supporting this introspective journey, the Sun in Pisces forms a sextile with Uranus in Taurus (March 11-15), encouraging the re-imagination of your self-worth and values.This is a week to let go—to release the critical inner voice, loosen your grip on perfectionism, and allow abundance to flow. Scott reminds listeners, "It's what you're holding on to so tightly that may prevent you from manifesting your dreams into reality. If you just let go, you create the space and opportunity for those dreams to come to fruition." By recognizing your unique gifts and celebrating your inherent perfection, you open yourself to the flow of life that allows your authentic self to emerge. Where in your life are you ready to let your hair down and stop holding on so tightly?(24:08) Mercury Conjunct Venus Retrograde in Aries 8° – March 8 – 14 (Saturday – Friday) – Exact on Tuesday, March 11.  (33:40) The Sun Conjunct Saturn in Pisces 22° – March 9 – 14 (Sunday – Friday) – Exact on Wednesday, March 12. (36:06) The Full Moon in Virgo 23° at 11:54 PM PDT on Thursday, March 13.  The Full Moon in Aries 24°The Full Moon in Taurus 24°The Full Moon in Gemini 23°The Full Moon in Cancer 23°The Full Moon in Leo 24°The Full Moon in Virgo 23°The Full Moon in Libra 23° (44:30) Mercury Retrograde in Aries 9°35' – Friday, March 14 March 1 – Mercury Enters its Retrograde Shadow in Pisces 26°49' March 14 – Mercury Retrograde in Aries 9°35'April 7 – Mercury Direct in Pisces 26°49'April 26 – Mercury Exits its Retrograde Shadow in Aries 9°35' (52:53) The Sun in Pisces Sextile Uranus in Taurus 24° – March 11 – 15 (Tuesday – Saturday) – Exact on Friday, March 14.You can support the podcast through Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theweeklytransit/supportYou can support the podcast financially through Donor Box: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://donorbox.org/the-weekly-transit-podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theweeklytransit.com/

Having issues logging in? If so — we're on it! Our team is actively investigating, and we hope to have things back up and running soon. Wait, we're Baconsale, not Hulu, so this BaconBit about the 97th Academy Awards should work just fine. Kent was the only one to watch the ceremony live this year, and Zack has regrets because he thought the clips he watched afterwards were funny. But was having Conan O'Brien as the host enough to boost viewership for the Oscars? What was in the big nominee gift bags this time? Is Timothée Chalamet cool? And who won our Baconsale Oscar ballot contest?   Press play to open the envelope and find out.

Following an Oscars ceremony that could be described as... disconnected? We break down the winners and snubs and discuss the Oscars and if they're still appealing to audiences or if they're out of touch.

Oscar-winning director Gints Zilbalodis just proved you don't need fancy film school or million-dollar software to snag that golden statue.

Producer Alex Coco takes us behind the scenes of the making of the Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or winner and recent winner of the Acadamy's Best Picture award, Anora. Alex reflects on his collaboration with director Sean Baker, revealing how flexibility with the script led to a more authentic and organic storytelling experience, including a spontaneous real-life double rainbow that was written its own scene. He also discusses one of the most important components behind Anora's success: handpicking the right cast, focusing on who was truly suited for each role over star power. This approach led to the critical casting of Mikey Madison, who played a pivotal role in earning the film the highest honor at Cannes. Congratulations to Anora for its Oscar success! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Zelensky’s visit to the white house turned catastrophic when Trump and Vance accused him of disrespecting the U.S. What does it mean for peace talks?   A federal judge has extended a block of President Trump’s plan to withhold funding from medical institutions that provide healthcare to transgender youth. “Anora” won Best Picture at the Oscars on Sunday, and director Sean Baker took home four awards total. He explains how having a bigger budget and professional actors changed his filmmaking process. South African musician Abel Selaocoe explains his “paper” technique of practicing cello as a kid, the power of singing to unite a community, and how he more deeply explored his roots while away from his homeland.

In this episode, Light Watkins sits down with Pippa Ehrlich, the co-director of the Academy Award-winning documentary My Octopus Teacher. Pippa's journey is nothing short of remarkable—she left behind a stable, dream-worthy career as a marine journalist to follow an inner calling that defied logic. With no guaranteed funding and no clear roadmap, she took a leap of faith to help filmmaker Craig Foster tell an extraordinary story—one that would ultimately captivate millions.Pippa shares how diving into the great African seaforest transformed not just her perspective on storytelling, but also her sense of purpose. She describes the visceral experience of free-diving, the magic of witnessing underwater creatures in their natural habitat, and how these moments helped her find her creative voice. Light and Pippa also discuss the pressures of filmmaking, imposter syndrome, and the unexpected emotional weight that comes with massive success—including how winning an Oscar didn't make self-doubt disappear.If you've ever stood at a crossroads between comfort and passion, or wondered what it really means to follow your intuition despite uncertainty, this conversation is for you.

The entertainment industry has had to pivot and refresh time and again to adapt to constant changes in format, business models and attention spans. Somehow, producer Brian Grazer has been able to keep up. The storyteller, who has received multiple nominations and wins at the Oscars, Emmys and Golden Globes, manages to find what people connect with and turn it into a hit – and he does this over and over. In this talk from the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival, Grazer and the entertainment leader and former Disney CEO Michael Eisner discuss what makes something work and how to go from an idea to winning content. Grazer shares the sometimes unconventional rules and guidelines that have served him well over the past 40 years while making classics like “Apollo 13” and “A Beautiful Mind.” aspenideas.org
