Antonia Prebble has basically grown up on our TV screens, and she's looking back on a major milestone this week. This Saturday marks the 20th anniversary of the first episode of Outrageous Fortune, and Prebble's been reflecting on all the memories that came out of that shows. She says she felt like she grew up within her role on Outrageous Fortune - and the experience 'changed her life." "If I'd have known from that first day on set in 2005 playing Loretta that I would be a member of the West family for the next 12 years and that I would meet my husband as part of this kind of universe - I would have told you it wasn't happening."

Two things have entertained me this week. We've had the falling out of two of the world's most powerful and wealthy narcissists - all of which played out on their own social media platforms. This breakup must be the most predicted thing to come out of Trump's presidency so far. After the drama of Thursday's outbursts, there seems to be a de-escalation between President Trump and his former benefactor and DOGE leader Elon Musk. Maybe they each realised they're unlikely to win outright, with the other having a platform to keep the jabs coming. Or maybe a little more strategic thought is going into next moves, although I'm not sure how much lower the blows could have gone. But if you're looking for alternative entertainment this weekend, I can recommend Netflix's The Survivors. The Aussie series is based on a Jane Harper novel set in Tasmania, and tells the story of how a present-day death in a coastal town brings back difficult memories of a 15-year-old tragedy when 3 young people died at sea. It's a crime drama filled with small town secrets, buried trauma and grief. At the heart of this film, giving another acting masterclass, is our very own Kiwi legend Robyn Malcolm. Every time I see Malcolm in a new role I say it's her best performance yet - she's at the very top of her game. It occurred to me this weekend that she's always been at the top of her game - whether on Shortland St, Outrageous Fortune, Jane Campion's Top of the Lake or Aussie comedies like Rake or Upper Middle Bogan. But there's no doubt Malcolm just keeps getting better. While many other actors discuss the difficulty of getting work once a woman hits a certain age, Malcolm reminds us the middle years can be the glory years. That a life of experience and hard work can lead to the roles of a lifetime. Recent performances in After the Party, Pike River, and The Survivors are giving writers a reason to write wonderfully layered, messed up characters for women like Malcolm to play. If you look at Robyn's resume you'd think she's been employed consistently since walking out of drama school in 1987. But I know it hasn't always been easy. Being an actor is not an easy life no matter how damn good you are. But watching Malcolm, along with Dianne Taylor, pick up a pen and create a project for herself - the Bafta-nominated After the Party - proves you can be middle aged, relevant, celebrated and seen, if you want to be. It's hard to take your eyes off her in The Survivor. But just wait until you see her in Rob Sarkies' new film Pike River, which is being released in New Zealand in October. Yip, you guessed it. Her best work yet. Seriously, she is spectacular as Sonya Rockhouse. There is no doubt 2025 is going to be a great year for Malcolm, and I'm sure it's just the beginning of an amazing third act.

Slings_and_Arrows_of_Outrageous_Fortune

One of our wildest episodes to date! We had our brother Tammy Davis, sit in with us for an explosive chat on TV, Film and Radio. Tammy gives us some insight on how the industry works behind the scenes, his experience on being a part of one of Aotearoa's iconic TV shows, "Outrageous Fortune", his struggle with schooling in South Auckland and how he navigates through life these days.

Japan has some set pieces around leadership.  The Middle Manager boss sits at the head of an array of desks arranged in rows, so that everyone in the team can be seen.  This is important because this is how the boss knows who is working well in the team and who isn't.  They can be observed every day, all day long.  What time they arrive and what time they leave, who is late back from lunch – it is all there in front of the boss.  Meetings are easily arranged and follow up is a shout away – “Suzuki, what is happening with that report?”.  Now many of the team are at home, away from the constant surveillance of the boss.  The boss has little idea how they spend their days and our clients tell us many Middle Managers  are still struggling to supervise the diaspora. In many cases, the day would start with the chorei, the morning huddle, getting the team together to go through what is on for that day.  These meetups can continue even when everyone is at home. During Covid, we moved it online. Everyone had to be on camera at 9.00am, dressed for business, rather than in a T-shirt.  If they didn't come on camera that was a red flag.  There may have been some depression issues bubbling away in the background, as the isolation started to get to people. They began to withdraw.  One of my team didn't come on camera for three days in a row, saying there was an issue with the laptop webcam.  Was there really an issue?  How would I know that was the case, sitting in my study, at my home?  I immediately started organising another laptop to be sent out. I need to see everyone's face every day, to check how they are doing.  In the end, it was a technical issue around the privacy settings in Teams.  The point though is, I didn't really know what was going on.  I have to be continuously keeping an eye out for the emergence of any stress or depression in my team. At the chorei we would go through good news reports, the vision, mission, values, the Dale Carnegie Principle for that day, who we are visiting virtually or otherwise and who was visiting us, each person's top three priorities for the day and a motivational quote.  The whole thing took about ten minutes.  I usually spent another ten minutes talking about things like taking care of your health, standing up regularly because we tend to sit for too long, issues around coordination which have arisen, the latest news in our business, the cash flow situation and recognising good work.  We also had Coffee Time With Dale at 3.00pm every day for anyone who wants to just shoot the breeze and catch up with colleagues, they don't physically meet anymore.  It wasn't that popular so we dropped it. The meeting cadence with direct reports continued online but it was easy for this to fade or drift.  People's new work from home schedules seem to make it harder to connect.  Back in February 2020, when we started working from home, it had a temporary feel about it.  On reflection, I didn't immediately embed some processes I should have.  These direct report meetings were a discipline I found I had to really enforce, because many of my staff seem to possess ninja level skills at avoiding talking with boss. I usually want stuff from them, I want it yesterday and I am very demanding. Talking with me is probably a pain, so some are quite creative in escaping the supervision.  The biggest issue was coordination across the whole business, as we all descended into our little pockets of responsibility and started losing sight of the big picture.  I had to spend a lot more time making sure that key information was being shared and that I was also sharing key information, rather than hogging it to myself.  This was a time consuming activity, but we dropped the ball a couple of times because it wasn't done properly.  Before I knew it, timelines started to drift, activities dropped out of completion sequence and confusion was not far behind. This was when I discovered just how detail challenged some people in the team actually were.  In the office it got covered off somehow.  Being subterranean, it wasn't noticeable. In isolation from each other however, wrong data inputs have a horrendous impact.  They spark a lot of effort to clean up the mess created. It draws people away from what they should be doing, dragging them into the morass of re-work. We tried to get around these coordination and communication issues by creating one truth. There was a live document in Teams that everyone could access and all changes were noted there.  As a training company, we had training events scheduled LIVE On Line or in the Super Safe Classroom, so we could see which ones were being executed, which were postponed, who was involved, etc.  A limited number of people were allowed to feed into this document to enforce accountability and control.  Today, with people at home, you may need a similar live document that tells everyone what is going on, which is being updated continuously as things change. GIGO (garbage in garbage out) is an issue for any document, so the details have to be monitored carefully. To overcome the isolation, one on one meetings were being held more frequently than when we were in the office.  However, I found it even harder than normal to get hold of people because they are often holding online meetings or were on the phone.  In the office, I could just walk over to their desk and signal to them to see me after they finished their call or grab them when they came back from their meeting.    I find our younger people are not phone savvy.  They don't check their phones for incoming calls they have missed. This wastes a lot of time trying to get hold of people, so I had to be pretty bolshie with them, about checking their phones for missed messages and to check their voice mail regularly.  It is a real pain, but sending emails or text messages as well seems to be the way to get their attention. Many people are still working from home and are liberated from the daily grind of commuting in Tokyo which is good.  They are not necessarily pouring this extra time into their work though. As the boss, I have had to become a much more “supervising” leader than before, which I actually hate.  There are many more moving pieces now due to the residue of Covid-19, so whether I like it or not, I have become more interventionist to make sure it all hangs together.  How about you?  Has this been your experience too?

EPISODE 121: Says former chairman and CEO of Mercury Records, Danny Goldberg in his book Bumping into Geniuses, Bloom's “interest in rock and roll had more to do with the study of mass psychology in action than furthering the aggrandizement of spoiled rock stars. He approached PR as an applied science.” In fact, Bloom used his science to invent simple correlational techniques and no-cost market research tools.  He joined the resulting data to what he calls “tuned empathy” and “saturated intuition” to help build or sustain the careers of figures like Michael Jackson, Prince, Bob Marley, Bette Midler, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Billy Idol, Peter Gabriel, David Byrne, John Mellencamp, Joan Jett, Queen, Kiss, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, Kool and the Gang, Chaka Khan, Run DMC, and roughly 100 others.  He contributed to the success of films like The Great Gatsby, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Outrageous Fortune, and Purple Rain.   In the process, he helped generate $28 billion in revenues (more than the gross domestic product of Oman or Luxembourg) for companies like Sony, Disney, Pepsi Cola, Coca Cola, and Warner Brothers.  And he did it by focusing not on profits but on soul.  The result?  Sterling Whitaker, author of The Grand Delusion: The Unauthorized True Story of Styx, calls Bloom, “probably the greatest press agent that rock and roll has ever known.” howardbloom.net/about-howard-bloom/Contact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Threads: @jannkloseJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!

Can the ancient teachings of Zen Buddhism help us engage with the challenges work, family and relationships throw our way? Teacher, author and Zen Buddhist priest Peter Coyote believes that they can: his new book, Zen in the Vernacular: Things As It Is, argues that Zen can be both a creative problem-solving mechanism and a moral guide; ideal for the stresses and problems we face day-to-day. Andrew and Peter discuss: How Peter found Buddhism and became a Zen Buddhist priest.  Why Buddhism ISN'T about turning away from the world. Why we need more than just “self-help”. How Zen Buddhism helps us engage with the suffering we see in the world. The importance of meditation. The usefulness of Buddhist teachings like The Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. Peter Coyote is an award-winning actor, narrator, and Zen teacher. He is recognized for his acting in 160 films including E.T., Outrageous Fortune, Bitter Moon and Cross Creek, and his narration work in over 140 documentaries. He narrated the PBS series The Pacific Century, winning an Emmy Award, as well as fourteen Ken Burns documentaries, including The Roosevelts, for which he won a second Emmy. In 2011 he was ordained as a Zen Buddhist priest and in 2015 received “transmission” from his teacher, making him an independent Zen teacher who has ordained his own priests. His latest book is Zen in the Vernacular: Things As It Is, and he is also the author of several volumes of poetry.  Follow Up Get Andrew's free guide to difficult conversations with your partner: How to Tell Your Partner Difficult Things Take a look at Andrew's new online relationship course: My Best Relationship Tools Read Peter Coyote's book Zen in the Vernacular: Things As It Is Visit Peter Coyote's website  Follow Peter Coyote on Facebook @AuthenticPeterCoyote   Join our Supporters Club to access exclusive behind-the-scenes content, fan requests and the chance to ask Andrew your own questions.

Best known for his screen work on the likes of Shortland Street, Outrageous Fortune, Nothing Trivial, and Mercy Peak, writer Gavin Strawhan joins us to talk about his debut crime novel centered on a 501-deportee gang, set in a remote coastal New Zealand town.

Originally from Australia, screenwriter Gavin Strawhan is behind some of New Zealand's biggest TV shows.  Shortland Street, Outrageous Fortune, Nothing Trivial, and Mercy Peak are just some of the entries on his extended resume, but now he's turning his focus to the page instead of the screen.  Set in rural coastal New Zealand, The Call is Strawhan's debut novel, the novel growing from a story Strawhan was told years ago by a detective.  “She had given out her number and the girlfriend of a guy in a gang had started ringing her late at night and giving away little tips of information, especially if they had a domestic.”  Although he's been working in screen and television for over thirty years, he told Newstalk ZB's Jack Tame that this was what he wanted to do growing up.  “I took a very long route via television to get back to what I wanted to do.”  Strawhan went to university for biology, swapping to drama and English after going out with an actress. He wrote for a theatre company years later, before going on to get a job as a trainee script editor on Neighbours.  “So, you know, these things are going in weird directions.”  The process of writing a novel is rather different to working in a writer's room, Strawhan telling Tame that while it's an exciting environment, it's also exhausting.  “When Covid came along and the production I'd been working on shut down, it was my opportunity.”  There was no network to pitch an idea to, and he didn't have to come up with an ending or have everything locked down.  “I just got up every morning and wrote two or three thousand words, and then I'd go for a walk and then I'd come back and edit what I'd written.  “It was just so lovely,” he told Tame. “I really enjoyed it.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008) was an American comedian, actor, author, and social critic. Regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comedians of all time, he was dubbed "the dean of counterculture comedians". He was known for his black comedy and reflections on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and taboo subjects. Carlin was a frequent performer and guest host on The Tonight Show during the three-decade Johnny Carson era and hosted the first episode of Saturday Night Live in 1975. The first of Carlin's 14 stand-up comedy specials for HBO was filmed in 1977, broadcast as George Carlin at USC. From the late 1980s onwards, his routines focused on sociocultural criticism of American society. He often commented on American political issues and satirized American culture. His "seven dirty words" routine was central to the 1978 United States Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a 5–4 decision affirmed the government's power to censor indecent material on public airwaves. Carlin released his first solo album Take-Offs and Put-Ons in 1966. He went on to receive five Grammy Awards for Best Comedy Album winning for FM & AM (1972), Jammin' in New York (1992), Brain Droppings (2001), Napalm & Silly Putty (2002), and It's Bad for Ya (2008). The latter was his final comedy special, which was filmed less than four months before his death from cardiac failure. Carlin co-created and starred in the Fox sitcom The George Carlin Show (1994–1995). He is also known for his film performances in Car Wash (1976), Outrageous Fortune (1987), Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991), The Prince of Tides (1991), Dogma (1999), Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), Scary Movie 3 (2003), and Jersey Girl (2004). He also had voice roles as Zugor in Tarzan II, Fillmore in Cars (2006), and as Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station, as well as narrating the American dubs of Thomas & Friends. Carlin was posthumously awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2008. He placed second on Comedy Central's list of top 10 American comedians in 2004,[1] while Rolling Stone magazine ranked him second on its list of the 50 best stand-up comedians of all time in 2017, in both cases behind Richard Pryor.[2] PICTURE: By Little David Records - eBay, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=89393798 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thequeensnewyorker/message

On the anniversary of Outrageous Fortune's TV debut we spoke to a Westie on growing up with the show, Ukiah Brown also spoke about hanging with Racing, surfing at Piha and the roadtrip behind his new song Electrify Your Love. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Austin and Tim travel back in time to the spring of 1987 and have a 6-movie marathon, including: The urban Tarzan vigilante film WILD THING, Bette Midler & Shelley Long in a buddy action/comedy called OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE, a nearly unheard of Australian Sci-Fi film STARSHIP, Bruce Willis is Blake Edwards' BLIND DATE, Whoopi Goldberg in BURGLAR, and finally... Jonathan Demme's highly regard dark comedy SOMETHING WILD.

Does having low expectations help when approaching a non-awaited instalment of a much-loved franchise? Probably not, as Jables finds out twice this week. At least Producer Ben is keeping it 80s with the surprisingly endearing Outrageous Fortune and Our Kid finally catches up with Staged 3.

On today's episode, we're heading back in time in our decked out phone booth to "borrow" some historical figures from the past, so we don't fail our final history project, while we revisit the beautiful buddy comedy classic, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989). This movie was co-written by Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon and directed by Stephen Herek.This movie stars Keanu Reeves (The Matrix, My Own Private Idaho), Alex Winter (The Lost Boys, Freaked), George Carlin (The Prince of Tides, Outrageous Fortune), and Robert V. Barron (Night Court, Eating Raoul). We also have a bunch of other appearances from folks like Al Leong (Lethal Weapon, Die Hard), Jane Wieldlin (Clue, Mission Hill), Dan Shor (Tron, Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College), and Tony Steedman (Scrooged, The Golden Girls).This movie is absolutely a gem, and if you haven't seen it already, you should change that!!! This is a silly buddy comedy on the surface, but I also think has some good messages tucked in there, as well. It's smartly written, and is a worth a watch, for sure!!Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan BoyleShow E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.comFollow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Twitter, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

In Outrageous Fortune: Gloomy Reflections on Luck and Life (Oxford UP, 2020), William Ian Miller offers his reflections on the perverse consequences, indeed often the opposite of intended effects, of so-called 'good things'. Noted for his remarkable erudition, wit, and playful pessimism, Miller here ranges over topics from personal disasters to literary and national ones. Drawing on a truly immense store of knowledge encompassing literature, philosophy, theology, and history, he excavates the evidence of human anxieties around scarcity in all its forms (from scarcity of food to luck to where we stand in the eyes of others caught in a game of musical chairs we often do not even know we are playing). With wit and sensitivity, along with a large measure of fearless self-scrutiny, he points to and invites us to recognize the gloomy, neurotic, despondent tendencies of reasonably sentient human life. The book is a careful examination of negative beliefs, inviting an experience of bleak fellow-feeling among the author, the reader and many a hapless soul across the centuries. Just what makes you more nervous, he asks, a run of good luck, or a run of bad? William Domnarski is a longtime lawyer who before and during has been a literary guy, with a Ph.D. in English. He's written five books on judges, lawyers, and courts, two with Oxford, one with Illinois, one with Michigan, and one with the American Bar Association. Learn more about your ad choices.

While we're on the topic of menopause, two of Petra's friends, Miriama Kamo and Robyn Malcolm, join her to swap personal stories from this season of life in perimenopause and menopause - and how each of these wāhine toa are navigating their way through it.⁠ There's something special about knowing we're not in this alone. Miriama Kamo (Ngāi Tahu/Ngāti Mutunga) is a TVNZ journalist, children's author and television presenter. She currently presents on Māori current affairs programme Marae and TVNZ's Sunday.  Robyn Malcolm is an actress, whose career has spanned many decades.

Has there ever been a more Kiwi screen character than Cheryl West? Or a more Kiwi actress than Robyn Malcolm?Robyn Malcolm is a gem. One of New Zealand's premier actresses, she is known all over the country as a very genuine, real, and down to earth personality...as well as being Cheryl West.This is less of a podcast and more of a conversation. We go all over the place - from the early Outrageous Fortune days to being lazy, to the perks of stopping to look at ants. If it sounds a bit random, then yeah, maybe it is. But it's really nice.This episode is a catch up between a couple of old acting mates. Where this is different, though, is it's about some of the bigger picture things in life - raising kids, being lazy, gratitude and literally regretting nothing. There's a good splattering of fun and laughter along the way, and an enlightening look back at Cheryl West. This is one not to be missed, especially for Outrageous Fortune fans!Brought to you by: Antonia Prebble & Roar CollectiveHost: Antonia PrebbleProduced by: Antonia Prebble & Roar Collective
