It's recommendin' and refutin' time!  Ryan breaks down Don Bluth's animated sci-fi Titan A.E. (2000), John shines a light on the indie television comedy The Dress Up Gang (2019), and Dixon turns the clock back 79 years to discuss Orson Welles' film noir classic The Lady from Shanghai (1947).

If you want to be me, be me.  And if you want to be you, be you.  Cuz there's a million ways to beeeee.  You know that there are.  Oh sorry, I didn't see you there.  I was just singing along to the soulful folk music of Cat Stevens' score to Harold and Maude (1971).  Pull up a chair and join John, Ryan, and Dixon as we discuss this darkly comedic meditation on life, death, and finding joy in the little things.

Dixon's back to discuss the Don Hertzfeldt animated short World of Tomorrow (2015), John breaks down the animated feature film Boys Go to Jupiter (2024), and Ryan recounts his experience watching The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) with his family.

Welcome to Banking on Primacy, a four-part podcast miniseries from Fintech Takes, sponsored by Chime. The series orbits one question that has become the most contested in consumer finance: what does it take to earn (and hold) the most important relationship in someone's financial life? In Episode 4, I sit down with Ryan King, technical Co-Founder at Chime, to explore what AI means for the primary account relationship. Ryan has been in and around Silicon Valley as a builder through every major technology wave. He argues that AI isn't another step change; it's a slope change. The closest historical analogy is the Industrial Revolution: factories didn't give workers better tools, they reorganized physical production. Now AI is doing the same thing to knowledge work. At Chime, that belief is already operational: 84% of code is now developed with AI. But the more interesting conversation is about consumers, not code. Most of the financial services industry is racing toward building AI that makes it easier to spend, but is that the problem everyday Americans face? When AI starts making financial decisions on behalf of consumers, whose side is it on? And how does the business model answer that question? Financial institutions have spent decades building trust with millions of account holders. How does that trust translate in a world when OpenAI and Perplexity want the same job? This episode is brought to you by Chime. For most Americans, their primary bank account is their most important financial relationship. Traditional banks held that position and took it for granted. Chime was built differently: fee-free, built to succeed when members do, and now America's #1 banking choice with roughly 10M active members. Chime Prime takes that further: 5% cash back, savings rates up to 9x the national average, premium travel perks, no fees.

Join the Afterthoughts crew as we take a trippy, philosophical, animated journey through time from Adam and Eve to space robots and back again.  Marcell Jankovics' ambitious epic twenty-three years in the making tells the story of man's doomed, repeated attempts to attain meaning and immortality in the face of Lucifer's cunning sabotage.  I bet you've never seen anything quite like this.

Dixon is still abroad, so in this session Ryan and John attempt to keep things on the rails with a standard Recommend or Refute episode. The only problem is Ryan has a penchant for breaking rules and John is a chronic enabler. Guess we'll see what happens as they each navigate bringing two titles to the table.

Equinox Gold has announced a transformational merger with Orla Mining that will create a major North American gold producer with a pathway toward nearly 2 million ounces of annual production. Ryan King, Executive Vice President of Capital Markets, joins Mining Stock Daily to discuss why the timing made sense for both companies, how institutional investors are responding to the increased scale, and the long-term growth pipeline anchored by Greenstone, Valentine, South Railroad, and Castle Mountain. The conversation also explores the operational ramp-up currently underway at Greenstone and Valentine, the strategic importance of Canadian and U.S. assets in today's geopolitical environment, and how the combined company plans to sequence billions of dollars in future development projects while maintaining strong free cash flow generation.**This episode is a Paid Editorial with Equinox Gold

Look, I know what the episode title says. Dixon's out of town, John and Ryan are off the rails. This is some serious bullshit and we're gonna have to thank you extra for putting up with it, but none of it has anything to do with the pre-9/11 animated film that has been memed into oblivion --so don't even ask! If you really want to know what it's about, I can tell you... lean in close... closer... okay that's close enough....This episode is about an hour and a half of nothing related to shrek.

On this episode of Recommend or Refute, Dixon continues with his Italy-on-the-mind movie watching recs, Ryan takes the bullet for all of us and talks about the latest Avatar, and John brings two different mainstream touchstones from bygone eras. 

Put on your tinfoil hats, pack your economy size antihistamine topical ointment, and take your emotion-suppressant supplements. The Afterthoughts crew is about to dive head first into the misanthropic honey of Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia. Whether you fancy yourself a queen bee or just another worker drone, you owe it to yourself to reflect on the health of the colony --what better way to do that than through this discussion on an intimate, conspiracy-propelled dark comedy laced with biting social commentary.

It's recommendin' and refutin' time. John explores the Madonna starring sexy thriller Body of Evidence (1993), Ryan goes completely off the rails and talks about some fucking video game called Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (2025), and Dixon dissects Orson Welles' favorite Fellini film The White Sheik (1952).

Take a journey with us to the small town of Virgil, Texas and meet its many quirky inhabitants. Like Louis Fyne, a big dancin' bear on the hunt for matrimony, Earl Culver, the bigwig in charge of growing tech company Varicorp, and The Lazy Woman, who's too rich to ever leave the comfort of her bed. The influential and unforgettable True Stories (1986) shows Texas at a turning point and David Byrne at the height of his artistic powers.

Freshly waking from the nightmare of Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut, the Afterthoughts crew is back with a more grounded, less rant-filled Recommend or Refute. Join John, Dixon, and Ryan as they try to push the trauma of Zack Snyder's vision from their mind's eye with some more digestible cinematic offerings.

It's a day late to publish, but it was truly the greatest April Fools prank to ever be played on Dixon.What do you get when you take a groundbreaking comic series (DON'T SAY GRAPHIC NOVEL) and adapt it into a hyper-stylized, bloated, overly simplified late-aughts superhero film? You get Zack Snyder's Watchmen! What happens when John picks this film for his episode? You get quality Dixon rants, passionate Ryan critiques, and an abundance of John attempting to stifle his sadistic laughter all in an episode that somehow clocks in under the runtime of the theatrical version.

Ryan King joins us to discuss how he built a £180,000 investment portfolio and how to get started investing with global index funds. This is a investing for beginners masterclass focusing on keeping Making Money Simple which just happens to be his brand name to!---------

Ryan's not with us for this episode (he's still alive as far as we know), so John and Dixon are doing our first ever Recommend AND Refute episode, in which they both bring one movie to recommend and one to refute. Can you guess which is which? Dixon discusses Emerald Fennell's new romance Wuthering Heights (2026) and Michael Winterbottom's hangout comedy The Trip to Italy (2014) while John dissects the conflicted VH1 biopic Man in the Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story (2004) and Baz Luhrmann's EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2026).

Ryan, John, and Dixon grapple with mortality, divinity, and the meaning of life as they piece together Ingmar Bergman's inconic masterpiece The Seventh Seal (1957).  Join us in our futile search for purpose as we await our inevitable dance with Death.

Ryan King, VP of Corporate Development at Equinox Gold, joins the program to discuss the company's "transformational" shift in 2025, which saw net debt plummet from over $1.5B to just $75 million following strategic asset divestments. The company is currently focusing on reaching nameplate capacity at its two cornerstone Canadian operations, Valentine and Greenstone, while targeting a 2026 production range of 700,000 to 800,000 ounces. This robust balance sheet has allowed Equinox to initiate an inaugural quarterly dividend and a share buyback program, opening the stock to a broader mandate of growth and yield-focused investors. Furthermore, the discussion explores organic growth potential and the upcoming technical reports for the self-funded Valentine Phase II expansion.

We've got some recommends and refutes hot and ready for you. Ryan breaks down the latest Disney animated film Zootopia 2 (2025), Dixon reviews the Italian road buddy comedy Il Sorpasso (1962), and John tackles the new horror film from Youtube sensation Mark Fischbach Iron Lung (2026).

Just three wankers yammerin' on about a classic British comedy in the countryside.

We're back with a light and fun episode about cancer, bureaucracy, and the desperate search for meaning. I'm pretty sure we're gonna find it at the bottom of this next bottle of whisky, stomach pains be damned.

It's that special time of year again! Time for Dixon, John, and Ryan to reflect on all the good and bad media they can squeeze into 365 days.

Interview with Ryan King, EVP Capital Markets of Equinox GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/equinox-gold-tsxeqx-canadian-gold-giant-forms-in-merger-of-equals-with-calibre-mining-6826Recording date: 14th January 2026Equinox Gold concluded 2025 with record-breaking production of 920,000 ounces, including a quarterly high of 247,000 ounces in Q4, driven primarily by its ramping Canadian operations. The Greenstone mine in Northern Ontario demonstrated particularly strong momentum, increasing output by 29% quarter-over-quarter as the company transitions from construction to operational excellence.In a strategic pivot prioritizing quality over quantity, Equinox announced the sale of its four Brazilian mines for over $1 billion. These assets, producing 200,000-250,000 ounces annually, will be divested to reduce the company's $1.5 billion debt load by more than $800 million and refocus operations on tier-one North American jurisdictions. Executive Vice President Ryan King emphasized that management's expertise lies in optimizing large-scale open pit operations rather than managing multiple smaller mines.Production guidance for 2026 is set at 700,000-800,000 ounces with all-in sustaining costs of $1,800-1,900 per ounce. Canadian assets alone are expected to deliver 400,000-500,000 ounces at industry-leading margins, representing two-thirds of total output from the company's highest-quality operations.The company maintains a robust organic growth pipeline without requiring acquisitions. Castle Mountain in California is advancing through federal permitting with a decision expected in Q4 2026, potentially adding 200,000-225,000 ounces annually. The Los Filos expansion in Mexico could contribute 250,000-300,000 ounces yearly once community land access issues are resolved. Combined with phase 2 expansion opportunities at Newfoundland assets, these projects could add 450,000-700,000 ounces of annual production.Management is prioritizing operational execution and deleveraging over mergers and acquisitions, with the company potentially becoming nearly debt-free by year-end 2026. This improved financial position opens possibilities for shareholder returns through buybacks or dividends while maintaining a $300 million capital expenditure budget and $75-100 million exploration program focused on expanding resources at existing operations.View Equinox Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/equinox-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
