Kristi Lee, Dr. Rob Shumaker and guest Josh Arnold break down Oscar season, including best picture, best actor, best actress and best director debates. The conversation covers award show fatigue, movie reviewing culture, streaming versus theaters, and why the big-screen experience still matters. Films discussed include The Golden Compass, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, Hamnet, Sinners, Frankenstein, Zootopia 2, Blue Velvet, Basquiat, Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049, The Godfather, The Wizard of Oz, Lost in Translation, Mamma Mia, Road House, Begonia and Perfect Days, along with reflections on IMAX, movie etiquette and seeing films with an audience.

Rob, Doug, Andy, and Sarah chat with Gabe Cuzzillo (Ape Out, Despelote) and Bennett Foddy (Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, QWOP) about their (with Maxi Boch) latest game, the multi-IGF-nominated open-world hard-walking manchild simulator Baby Steps. We discuss the game's in-house approach to voice acting, balancing challenge with humor, creating (and hiding) a looping environment, telling an honest story about masculinity, including explicit content without getting banned from Steam, rock curation, secrets, and so much more!

In which Rachel and Lauren and special guests Natalie Freeze and Sadie Freeze discuss the merits and demerits of some of the CEOs of the Walt Disney corporation.Might be wise to caution headphone users. There's some mighty big reactions in this episode (in the best ways).Also, personally recanting what we said about Best Parks Era--would rather put Iger or Eisner on top and Walt third, maybe even fourth...we got blindsided by innovation instead of leaning into the era of it all...Also remember to watch and review Perfect Days for Film Club!

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.

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.

Bente Küster ist begeistert von Wim Wenders‘ Film "Perfect Days" und möchte sich Erkenntnisse daraus auch für ihren Alltag bewahren.

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.

Anyone lucky enough to have seen Wim Wenders' 2023 masterpiece Perfect Days is familiar with the dignity of professional Japanese toilet cleaners. Mark Eltringham, the publisher of the excellent future of work newsletter Workplace Insight, hasn't seen Wenders' movie, but he is nonetheless sympathetic to the dignity of the armies of invisible workers paid to clean up our mess - from those who tidy up offices to to those who scrub public toilets. We conveniently ignore this precariat, Eltringham argues, when it comes to imagining the impact of AI on jobs. While tech elites debate hybrid schedules and productivity algorithms, these essential workers remain largely untouched by automation's promises and threats, establishing a convenient myopia in our understanding of work's future. So next time you go to your office or use a public bathroom, Eltringham suggests spare a thought for the professionals who made the experience palatable - and ask yourself why it's their voices that are missing from our mostly privileged and solipsistic AI centric conversations about the future of work. 1. The "Solipsism Problem" in Work DiscourseEltringham argues that workplace conversations about AI, remote work, and the "death of the office" suffer from solipsism - knowledge workers project their own experiences onto the entire workforce, ignoring that these discussions only apply to maybe 30-40% of workers.2. AI's Uneven Impact Across Job TypesWhile tech elites debate AI's productivity effects, vast numbers of workers - from toilet cleaners to factory workers - remain largely untouched by automation. The AI revolution is primarily a knowledge worker phenomenon, not a universal workplace transformation.3. The Return-to-Office ParadoxTech companies like Google and Microsoft led the push to get employees back into offices, despite having the most sophisticated remote work capabilities. This suggests that even digital-native companies see value in physical proximity that goes beyond mere productivity metrics.4. "Weak Ties" Matter More Than Water Cooler MomentsEltringham dismisses the clichéd "water cooler conversation" argument for offices, arguing instead that the real value lies in "weak ties" - the informal networks that help you connect with people who know other people, creating problem-solving chains that are harder to replicate virtually.5. Work Culture Trumps Office DesignA good working culture in a badly designed office will make people happy, but a bad culture in a beautiful office won't. The focus on trendy office furniture and Silicon Valley-style spaces misses the point - relationships and culture matter more than design aesthetics.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

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.
