Podcasts about perfect days

We've got a jam-packed Life in the Fast Lane today, including an all-time quote: “in my mind, you, Vin, were born in Cannes.” – Thierry Frémaux – Vin Diesel. First, we start with a Tokyo Drift Minute that could have been filled with so much detail! But, alas. Still, we find some good stuff, Joe gives us a Japanese history lesson, and Joey talks about Wim Wenders' film Perfect Days. A reminder: voting is still open for the 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame, so vote now! Next: Vin is back on Instagram in a big way, but his captions are less prolific than usual. (That's okay; you'll see why soon.) We then catch up on all the news from the NBCU Upfronts and Cannes. Most importantly: the new Fast and Furious TV series (at least one! maybe four! probably not!) in what Vin Diesel is calling “The TV Space.” We talk about how we'll cover the shows, guess what they'll be about, and pitch our dream show. Vin gave a prolonged intro to screening of The Fast and the Furious film at Cannes? You don't say! Meanwhile, Jordana Brewster requests more agency for her character (nice!) while making some conflicting comments about whether or not she watches these movies. Joey reads Vin Diesel's essay in Variety, which is both genuinely good and genuinely Vin. Joe shares some good news about the new Tokyo Drift rollercoaster. A listener writes in with a new theory about whether Tokyo Drift takes place in 2006 or 2013, and our Patreon family grows in two ways. We talk (without spoilers!) about Obsession, I Love Boosters, and more movies in theaters.

Kondo wa kondo, ima wa ima.Hirayama wakes at dawn to the sound of a broom sweeping the streets outside his modest flat east of the Sumida River. He makes his bed, marks the page on his book, and goes downstairs to brush his teeth, water his plants, and grab his keys and some spare change before going outside to look at the sky, breathe in, and smile. He grabs a coffee from a nearby vending machine, climbs into his van, and gets his music cassette ready. After a quick swig from his can humorously labelled 'BOSS', Hirayama drives off to begin his day as a cleaner of public toilets in Shibuya.Wim Wenders' modern masterpiece, Perfect Days, is a complex meditation on work, routine, and meaning. It touches on a vast array of topics such as capitalism and class, existentialism and relationships, and estrangement and grief. Rarely do films feel so well-rounded in their nuanced exploration of context, politics, and aesthetics, while also being piercingly poignant in what they have to say about transcending the limits of the body and spirit.Perfect Days is undoubtedly one of the great films of the twenty-first century; we could not help but watch it time and again to see and feel everything it has to offer. It is also one that is and will be important in the years to come, owing in no small measure to its thoughtful tone and sublime message, relevant more than ever in a world of growing alienation and individualism.This latest episode is in two parts: this one on Perfect Days, and the other (right before), on a surprisingly similar film by Akira Kurosawa: Ikiru. We had a fantastic time thinking through both stories' impact, and hope you gain as much from our discussion as we did from the films! As always, we would love to hear your thoughts, so please don't hesitate to reach out to us on Instagram, e-mail, or using a voice note on Spotify!References:1) Criterion Collection article by Bilge Ebiri, on Wim Wenders' filmography.2) Reddit comment on abject loneliness in Perfect Days.3) Article on the importance of Lou Reed to Wim Wenders and the former's presence in Perfect Days - Wim Wenders' Life Was Saved by Rock and Roll: Lou Reed is a mighty voice in my new film.4) Dewansh mentions an article about how Perfect Days is a sanitized film.

One more episode left to go in Survivor 50 and we're getting down to the final five castaways remaining. Unfortunately for fans of the show, Wednesday's penultimate episode sent home two fan favorites in Rick Devens and Cirie Fields.Brett & Danielle break down this week's episode, how it allowed both to go home without twists or any other chicanery and who we have left in Aubry, Jonathan, Joe, Tiffany & Rizo.Later in the show, they catch up with some new (and old) shows in Apple TV's Widow's Bay, Netflix's Legends, and Dani finishes her watch of FX's Fargo season 1. Most importantly, they discuss Sunday night's Euphoria and how it plays with our own conceptions about the celebrities it depicts.Lastly, they discuss the 2003 Wim Wenders film Perfect Days and how nice it must be to wear great clothes and clean toilets all day.Follow Hey Julie on Bluesky and submit your questions ⁠⁠@HeyJulieBB⁠⁠.bsky.social, our ⁠⁠Discord server⁠⁠, or email us ⁠heyjuliebigbrother@gmail.com⁠!Watch Hey Julie on ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠Follow Brett ⁠⁠@BrettRader⁠⁠.bsky.socialFollow Danielle ⁠⁠@DingDongDani.bsky.social

n this mindful episode of Find Your Daily Calm, Sel explores Mushin — the Japanese art of “no-mind.” Inspired by Wim Wenders' Perfect Days, it's a reflection on how peace lives quietly in ordinary moments — washing a cup, pausing before replying, or breathing between thoughts.Every episode is created and recorded with real presence — human voice, genuine breath, and no AI assistance beyond the routine.Because calm should sound human.This episode is brought to you by Elyte Drops, a gentle reminder that clarity — like calm — begins from within.

Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes, and Marta Djordjevic AKA Marta McFly @mcflysmoviehouse discuss Wim Wenders Perfect Days After a long period of mostly doing documentaries, Wim Wenders returns to narrative feature filmmaking with a film originally envisioned to help the Tokyo Toilet Project showcase their 15 internationally designed public bathrooms. Kōji Yakusho stars as Hirayama, a public toilet cleaner, who is mostly silent and enjoys the small pleasures of life. From his trees, to his cassettes, to his bike rides, Hirayama lives a structured and repetitive existence in a minimalist apartment appreciating the small things in life.Follow Marta's work here: https://www.rewindandrevive.com and here https://www.martadjo.com

Josh and Drusilla finally watch Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. From wiki: “Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (Italian: Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma), billed on-screen as Pasolini's 120 Days of Sodom on English-language prints[5] and commonly referred to as simply Salò (Italian: [saˈlɔ]), is a 1975 political art horror film directed and co-written by Pier Paolo Pasolini. The film is a loose adaptation of the 1785 novel (first published in 1904) The 120 Days of Sodom by the Marquis de Sade, updating the story's setting to the World War II era. It was Pasolini's final film, released three weeks after his murder.”Also discussed: Wim Wenders and Perfect Days, eggots, Klute, Candy Darling, public toilets, Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer, Singapore Sling, Faces of Death, Pilion, Maddy's Secret, and more!NEXT WEEK: Never Take Sweets from a Stranger (1960)Bloodhaus: https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

U 77. epizodi Njuz POPkasta, gošća je književnica Lana Bastašić. Dok Nenad i Jelisaveta pokušavaju da izgovore njeno ime kako dolikuje, Lana nam objašnjava kako je to biti pisac čiju je knjigu Carrie Bradshaw (da, ona iz „Seks i grada“) okačila na svoj Instagram story, a da niko u lancu – od agenta do izdavača – nema pojma kako se to zapravo desilo. Razgovaramo o tome zašto su „teške“ teme postale omiljena literatura novih generacija, kako izgleda proces rada sa urednicima (kad se ne svađaju oko izbačenih pasusa) i zašto nam je toliko teško da danas pročitamo deset stranica knjige bez provere notifikacija. Analiziramo i dokumentarni film Luisa Terua, u kojem on sa svojom prepoznatljivom radoznalošću istražuje digitalne zajednice koje kreiraju influenseri. Lana nam otkriva i ekskluzivu o novom romanu koji piše na našem jeziku, nakon što je prethodni „proterala“ kroz anglosaksonsku marketinšku mašineriju. Uz neizbežnu muzičko-filmsku „svaštaru“, saznajte zašto su serije o „nesavršenim ljudima“ postale teme za ozbiljne razgovore, dok naša redakcija brani albansku književnost i makedonski rejv kao vrhunske domete kulture. Spremite Njuz šolje i pretplatite se na kanal! PRIJATELJI EPIZODE: - Generali osiguranje: Putujete po Srbiji ili van nje? Naši prijatelji iz Generali osiguranja vas podsećaju da vizuelizacija pada na ulici nije najzabavniji hobi.

Zurück im Geschäft. Mit einer ersten Überraschung: 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE scheint besser zu sein als erwartet. Zumindest für Andre und Schröck, die darüber hinaus noch die Dienste von THE HOUSEMAID - WENN SIE WÜSSTE in Anspruch genommen haben, sich eine EXTRAWURST gönnen, für SILENT FRIEND auf Samstag verweisen, wo wir ihn noch mal etwas ausführlicher besprechen und über einen beeindruckten Daniel noch ein wenig Lust auf MOTHER'S BABY machen. Obwohl Daniel schon zwei hat. Darüber hinaus gibt es wie immer ein paar feine Streaming- und Mediatheken-Tipps, die diesmal knapp und umfangreich zu gleich sind. Denn zum einen gehen die beiden noch kurz auf den Start von HBOMax und dem dazugehörigen Programmangebot ein und zum anderen hat NETFLIX gerade alle Filme der JAMES BOND-Reihe hochgeladen, so dass die Nennung aller Titel hier alle Zeilen sprengen würde. Dafür können wir Euch aber noch ein paar weitere, feine Titel wie ANATOMIE EINES FALLS, SIN CITY, PERFECT DAYS oder HEATHERS nennen, die gerade frisch in den Mediatheken gelandet sind. Außerdem sind noch um ARCTIC, HOOPS, HOPES & DREAMS und WILHELM TELL im Gespräch, die alle Drei noch auf der Watchlist von entweder André oder Schröck stehen. And last but not lust müssen, beziehungsweise wollen die beiden dazu noch zugeben, dass THE RIP, der neue Film von Joe Carnahan, echt richtig anständig geworden ist, wovon beide im Vorfeld alles andere als überzeugt waren. Aber davon könnt Ihr Euch ja selbst überzeugen, wobei wir Euch nun ganz viel Spaß wünschen. In diesem Sinne: ein frohes Neues und bleibt so gesund wie gut drauf. Cheers.

Our New Year's gift to you: Filmmaking legend Wim Wenders returns to the show for a career-spanning interview. Taped before a live audience in his home city of Berlin, Germany, he tells Rico how classics like Wings of Desire (1987), Paris, Texas (1984), and more were informed by his love of rock n' roll, riding the rails, and cinema itself.PINA is now streaming in the US and PERFECT DAYS is now streaming in the UK, Ireland, Latin America, Turkey, India and the Netherlands. MY FATHER'S SHADOW is coming to cinemas in the UK, Ireland and Italy on February 6, in the US and Toronto on February 13, in Canada on February 20 and in Spain on March 6.To stream some of the films we've covered on the podcast, check out the collection Featured on the MUBI Podcast.

In this episode of Words on a Wire, host Daniel Chacón sits down with Dr. Roberto Avant-Mier, Chair of the Communication Department at the University of Texas at El Paso and a leading scholar of Chicano film. Their wide-ranging conversation uses Wim Wenders' film Perfect Days as a point of entry into deeper reflections on cinema, music, memory, and meaning. Avant-Mier discusses how music functions as an emotional and narrative force in film, shaping human connection and inner life in ways that often go unnoticed, while Chacón reflects on his own experience of watching the film and the demands it places on attention and interpretation.From there, the discussion expands into broader cultural terrain: punk rock, horror films, Latino representation on screen, and the fundamental role music plays in human identity and community. The episode closes on a deeply personal note as Avant-Mier recounts his roots in Smeltertown, the now-vanished industrial community along the U.S.–Mexico border in El Paso, and his ongoing work volunteering at the community cemetery. What emerges is a conversation about art, place, and history—how they persist, resonate, and refuse to disappear, even when the physical spaces themselves are gone.

As hunters flock to the woods for gun deer season, their days will be steeped in tradition and contemplation. For writer and forester Ron Weber of Weyerhaueser, this time has always been about more than the hunt. It’s about appreciating the world and memories swirling around him.

In this mindful episode of Find Your Daily Calm, Sel explores Mushin — the Japanese art of “no-mind.” Inspired by Wim Wenders' Perfect Days, it's a reflection on how peace lives quietly in ordinary moments — washing a cup, pausing before replying, or breathing between thoughts.Every episode is created and recorded with real presence — human voice, genuine breath, and no AI assistance beyond the routine. Because calm should sound human.This episode is brought to you by Elyte Drops, a gentle reminder that clarity — like calm — begins from within. Replenish. Restore.

The good news: Trump's second term has already hit historic levels of unpopularity. The bad news: we're still only 100 days into it. The White House marks this milestone by bragging about its record on immigration and defending the arrest of a Wisconsin judge and the deportation of three very young American citizens, ages 2, 4, and 7. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy reflect on where the country stands at the 100-day mark and take stock of the opposition—as Democrats, media outlets, universities, and even some law firms all ratchet up their efforts to push back. Then, Dan sits down with Neera Tanden, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress and a former top advisor to Joe Biden and Barack Obama, about the unique dangers of Trump and his allies, and how to defend against them.
