She was joined by Bezos's fiancée Lauren Sánchez and CBS presenter Gayle King, who was reported to have said a highlight of the flight was hearing Perry sing Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World'. We discuss.And finally, we are talking about t-shirts. Okay, not quite. We're talking about a debate which was sparked on X, in part, by pictures of two t-shirts. Here's what happened- on April 8th the writer Ashley Reese tweeted this as part of a wider conversation about women and work. She wrote: “1) women have always worked 2) it's incredible that women are able to be financially independent in ways that were not as common just a few generations ago and I'm not charmed by jokes—especially from other women—about how gainful employment is the worst thing to happen to women.”Is it that deep?

Auch wenn Holger, Michael und Rüdiger sich zum Ende der heutigen Episode noch das Für und Wider von Apples neuer Prestige-Serie "Your Friends and Neighbors" (53:14) mit Jon Hamm und Amanda Peet abwägen, steht dieser Podcast ganz im Zeichen der siebten Staffel von "Black Mirror" (3:30). Die Netflix-Anthologie von Charlie Brooker, die mit jeder Staffel Technologie-kritische Kurzgeschichten erzählt, hängt typischerweise sehr vom individuellen Geschmack ab. Die einen mögen die richtig bösen Geschichten, die anderen eher die hoffnungsvollen, menschlichen Episoden. Also haben wir wieder einmal unsere Geschmäcker zusammengeworfen und aus unseren drei indivuellen Rankings eine Serienweise-Empfehlungsliste zusammengestellt. Wir sprechen über "Gewöhnliche Leute" (10:45) mit Rashida Jones und Chris O'Dowd, "Bête Noire" (18:14) über eine Food-Designerin, die eine Klassenkameradin wiedertrifft, das mit sehr vielen "Bandersnatch"-Überschneidungen aufwartende "Spielzeug" (23:37) mit Peter Capaldi, die heißersehnte Fortsetzung "USS Callister: Willkommen bei Infinity" (30:04), die Film-Hommage "Hotel Reverie"(39:09) mit Issa Rae und Emma Corin sowie unseren Staffel-Favoriten "Eulogy" (46:32), der Paul Giamatti auf eine Reise durch seine Erinnerungen führt. Cold-Open-Frage: "Welches Serientier sollten Forscher nach dem Schattenwolf wieder zum Leben erwecken?"

After ingesting a 'soy sauce' like drug, they realize they have new abilities to see into space, time, and alternate universes in real time. However, there is a curse with this drug as there is an ancient monster lurking in the shadows who seeks to use Dave and John for it's own purposes.Directed by Don Coscarelli, and written by David Wong (Jason Pargin), who also wrote the novel. Notable cast include Chase Williamson as Dave, Rob Mayes as John, Paul Giamatti as Arnie, Fabianne Therese as Amy and Clancy Brown as Dr. Albert Marconi.

In this episode of The Rewatch Party, Nick, Anthony, and Dan dive into Love & Mercy, the 2014 biopic about Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson. Unlike traditional musician biopics, this film takes a unique approach, following Wilson during two pivotal periods of his life—played by Paul Dano in the 1960s and John Cusack in the 1980s. The hosts discuss how this split timeline storytelling affects the film's emotional impact and whether it enhances or distracts from the narrative. Anthony, a fan of music history, praises the film's deep dive into Wilson's genius and struggles, while Nick and Dan debate whether the dual performances truly capture the essence of the troubled artist. The conversation naturally shifts to the film's depiction of the creative process behind Pet Sounds, one of the most influential albums of all time. The hosts analyze how Love & Mercy showcases Wilson's innovative techniques and obsessive perfectionism in the studio, bringing to life the making of iconic songs. Nick argues that these scenes are the heart of the film, immersing viewers in Wilson's artistic brilliance, while Dan points out how the tension with bandmates and his domineering father adds layers to the story. Anthony highlights the film's ability to make the audience feel both the joy of creation and the weight of Wilson's mental health struggles. Of course, the discussion wouldn't be complete without addressing Paul Giamatti's chilling performance as Dr. Eugene Landy, the manipulative therapist who controlled Wilson's life in the 1980s. The hosts dissect the disturbing power dynamics between Landy and Wilson, with Elise noting that John Cusack's subdued performance contrasts well against Giamatti's overwhelming presence. They also explore Elizabeth Banks' role as Melinda Ledbetter, Wilson's eventual savior, and whether her character's arc is given enough depth. By the end of the episode, the trio reflects on Love & Mercy's rewatchability. While its emotional weight and unconventional structure might not make it an easy, casual rewatch, its powerful performances, immersive storytelling, and reverence for Brian Wilson's artistry make it a compelling experience. Whether you're a die-hard Beach Boys fan or just appreciate a well-crafted biopic, this discussion will leave you with a greater appreciation for the man behind the music.   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903657/

Isabelle and David welcome back Marcus Soutra, co-founder of Eye to Eye and founder of For the Good Consulting, and explore the nature of authenticity, "coolness" and the meaning of masking with nation-wide advocacy expert and fellow ADHD and LD-er. How did being "cool" go from being rich and unaffected to being authentic and open about ND/LD identities? From the loneliness and high masking rates of ADHDers, to Abercrombie & Fitch t-shirts and social media, the ways ND culture has approached masking and unmasking.----Isabelle talks about how being wealthy and affording the performance/clothes of ‘coolness' growing up was Abercrombie & Fitch back in her high school days--these were expensive clothes that you had to get at the mall and were part of the performance of being 'cool.' And what about how much of coolness, at least for a time, was defined by money, or access to certain expensive clothing brands (like Abercrombie and Fitch) What it means to perform and be high masking, for her. There is a coolness factor, the kid who can pick up what's cool has an advantage over the kid who doesn't. Marcus sums it up: are you able to fit in and be embraced by the neurotypical world? And if you can't, there's the loner path, the bully path? The empathy he has for the bully path—they were, in his past, the LD/ND kids who were dealing with loneliness and not masking well and it was their way of finding their way to a role in the school community. 60% of people with ADHD say they mask on regular basis and 33% say there is a loneliness to the experience of having ADHD. Then there's also the pain of being high-masking or being accepted by the neurotypical world, how little practice you have at sitting with who you really are, and finding a stable sense of self. There is a way to be a self to fit in that is not the same as an authentic, self-confident knowing-who-you-are self. The difference between doing it in a healthy way v. doing it in a way to survive. Hard to know what parts of you are okay, and when you're blending into a neurotypical world, there's a significant advantage of being able to read the rooms around social cues. Marginalized senses of self are real, having to exist believing you're less than. Or believing if the mask ever falls, it's terrifying. Isabelle names that there's a management around masking and the layers, like she can unmask and say “I have ADHD!” but she doesn't say, “I have ADHD and I screwed up the finances again so I can't afford the school bill.” Something for her connects coolness to unaffectedness, not being vulnerable, or not caring what others think. Beyond the unique person who owns where they are, where does coolness come from in our culture? Marcus responds that it's often the people at the top of the social hierarchy, it's the celebrities, the role models.  Growing up for Marcus, there were the most attractive movie stars who were dyslexia, like Tom Cruise, Orlando Bloom, not Paul Giamatti. When it came to Aspergers (previous name for low support need Autism, check out more in depth on this history below) or Autism (before it was known as Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD) were superheroes, like RainMan, Temple Grandin, and that was our introduction to the autism community. If you're dyslexic, the way to make it out is to have hotness or have superhero qualities, and if you don't fit into either one of those, good luck. This brings up how celebrities are not so far removed anymore, from the days that you got these bland PR stories or tabloids, now you have people sharing their stories and unmasking on social media. Marcus names that authenticity is now a part of social media, and it's important for celebrities to have a cause, to be speaking to some aspect of this. If we'recynical, it could be a branding strategy, or it could be a shift in culture, because this emphasis on authenticity rather than hiding has been a big change in the last five years. What is Abercrombie & Fitch? The following documentary covers it pretty much:"White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie and Fitch" (Netflix documentary)DEFINITIONS:Masking: Often used in referenced to autistic folx (Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)), it also applies to folx with ADHD, OCD, and all kinds of neurodivergence (ND) and learning differences (LD), like dyslexia, dycalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, etc. It's the idea that you have to wear a neurotypical "mask" to be accepted or to engage in a world made for those that are neurotypical. You 'pretend' as if you brain and nervous system work in ways they don't. It can be (and feel like) a matter of survival. From a great article on the topic:“For many neurodivergent people, masking is a survival tool for engaging in neurotypical societies and organizations. Masking (also called camouflaging) is the artificial performance of social behaviors deemed more “socially acceptable” in a neurotypical culture.”For more on Marcus Soutra:www.For the Good Consulting.comSoutra is a dynamic, award-winning advocate, leader, and trailblazer in the field of neurodiversity (ND).

Life is full of sweet highs and terrible merlots on today's Script Apart as Alexander Payne – director of movies like Election, The Holdovers, Nebraska and About Schmidt – joins us to raise a glass to an indie drama that has aged like a fine wine. The brilliant Sideways was released in 2004 and soon earned four Academy Award nominations, taking home Best Adapted Screenplay. It won six Independent Spirit Awards, was picked up for Japanese remake and instigated a huge tourism boom in the California wine country that forms the film's backdrop. Co-written with frequent collaborator Jim Taylor, it told the tale of two friends on a wine tasting expedition,  each struggling to break out of a certain middle-aged, middle-class male malaise (one of Alexander's screenwriting specialties). The result? A dramedy widely regarded as one of the best of its decade.The film saw Paul Giamatti play Miles – an aspiring author whose dreams of literary stardom are misfiring, much like his love life. Recently divorced, he and his old college friend Jack, played by Thomas Haden Church, hop in the car to celebrate Jack's upcoming wedding. But Jack – a washed-up soap opera actor – is intent on hooking up with women as part of one last sexual hurrah before marriage. Caught up in the mix as the pair quarrel and cause trouble is Virginia Madsen's Maya, a barmaid that Miles strikes up feelings for. Professing those feelings in a serious way, though, is difficult for the wine aficionado and English teacher – a man so mired in regret about what was, he's unable to grasp the now and what could still be. Much is often made about the recurring quote-unquote “losers” that lead Alexander's films, and what they might have to say about modern American man. The filmmaker, though, has always been pretty resolute that his movies centre the downtrodden and dopey simply because, deep down, these films are comedies – a genre the historically sides with the little guy, going all the way back to Charlie Chaplin. But how does he define the mix of pathos and hilarity that fill his characters? Where does Alexander's affinity towards road trip stories come from?  What's so relatable and real about Miles' fear that his literary dreams might amount to nothing – and that a life of feeling like a loser awaits? And what was the inspiration behind the film's beautiful ending – a knock at the door that we as an audience never see answered?

For the last of our offbeat holiday selections this year, we're talking about an instant new classic for us, The Holdovers! This film bridges the no-man's-land time between Christmas and New Year's Day, when time stretches, everything seems a little foggy, and it's easy to forget what day it is. We're thrilled to welcome first-time guest, long-time friend, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sanjay Salomon to discuss this film, which has many personal connections to his own youth growing up in Western Mass, at Deerfield Academy (main filming location) no less! We also talk about Alexander Payne's vision of The Holdovers as a part of the 70s film catalogue that includes some of our other favorite movies like Hal Ashby's Harold & Maude and The Last Detail, the top notch performances from Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and first time film actor Dominic Sessa, Ryan Warren Smith's production design that captures the true spirit of a New England winter, and the amazing score from Mark Orton, which draws heavily on 70s influences like Cat Stevens and somehow perfectly evokes both the time and the place of The Holdovers. Pour yourself a tall drink of your choice and ring in the New Year with us!

Welcome and Happy Holidays! This episode will air on Christmas Day. Whatever that day means to you, we hope you're happy and healthy, and we thank you for spending a little of it with us. This final Christmas installment features on of our newer episodes--Alexander Payne's The Holdovers. It's much in the vein of Payne's earlier work, with moving drama and dry humor blending seamlessly together. If you're watching this on or around Christmas, prepare yourself for a rewarding--if bittersweet--experience. And some of Paul Giamatti's finest acting. We'll discuss this award-winning film, and drink some award-winning Gamay, all on this week's Cinemavino!
