¡Envíanos tus comentarios por aquí!En este episodio conversamos con el cinefotógrafo Antonio Riestra AEC ACK AMC ASC, cuya experiencia abarca una sólida trayectoria internacional. A lo largo de la charla, Riestra comparte  su visión sobre el oficio cinematográfico, abordando temas clave que forman parte del día a día detrás de cámara.Desde su perspectiva, el trabajo de la dirección de fotografía no solo implica un dominio técnico, sino también una profunda conciencia narrativa y colaborativa. Riestra habla sobre la importancia de la pre producción como etapa clave para construir un lenguaje visual sólido, y cómo el diálogo con dirección es fundamental para traducir ideas en emociones visuales.Otro de los temas centrales de la conversación es la necesidad de negociar con producción cuando es necesario defender lo que la imagen requiere. Para él, el cinefotógrafo también debe ser un mediador capaz de encontrar puntos medios sin comprometer la integridad visual del proyecto.Además, reflexiona sobre el valor de conocer y distinguir las herramientas de trabajo. No se trata solo de saber operar una cámara, sino de entender cómo y por qué se elige una óptica, una textura, una fuente de luz. Cada decisión es narrativa, cada herramienta tiene una voz.Este episodio es una mirada a la carrera que ha construido su carrera sobre la base de la colaboración. Una conversación que no solo ofrece aprendizajes técnicos, sino también una mirada sensible y comprometida con el cine como lenguaje colectivo.Gracias a nuestros patrocinadores: Arri, EFD Estudios, Cinesonica, Sony Latinoamérica, BandPro y AngenieuxCrew/colaboradoresAlfredo Altamirano, Isabel Adulfo, Andrés Saldaña, Adrian de León,  Milton Barrera, Ricardo Gómez.

El New York Times publicó un artículo que revela detalles de Elon Musk: su consumo de drogas, sus relaciones familiares y su participación en la política; todo esto mientras su cercanía con Donald Trump terminó de romperse de manera muy pública. Emilio ‘Pizu' Saldaña, analista de tecnologías para la información, nos habla al respecto. En otro tema: Revés para el gobierno mexicano. La Suprema Corte de Estados Unidos rechazó por unanimidad la demanda presentada por nuestro país contra varios de los mayores fabricantes de armas estadounidenses.

“I prefer to live in the fantasy, not in the desperation of the crisis [...], you know?” This latest episode of Earth.fm's Wind Is the Original Radio podcast finds site curator Melissa Pons in conversation with Peruvian sound artist and ‘resilient designer' Nahun Saldaña. In his work, Nahun explores the intersections between soundscapes and sound ecology, especially in relation to climate change and speculative sound future. Together, they discuss: The possibility of using soundscapes to drive the awareness that we all depend on the natural world - and even of using them to make companies prioritise caring for the planet rather than solely the pursuit of profit. The ludicrousness of carbon credits (“Okay, you contaminate, but you pay for the compensation”), but the way that a similar model of mitigation could be applied to noisy manufacturers. The impact of individualism on people's awareness (or lack thereof) of the sounds that they make and how those sounds may impact neighbours or the broader community around them How, in urban spaces, silence has become a new kind of luxury - one denied to people living in lower-income areas A tendency, within the nature-sound-recording community, to fetishise tragedies in the natural world by recording “the sounds of extinction” or the last examples of particular species, despite this not curtailing those tragedies. Is there an argument for focusing, instead, on “stories of regeneration and flourishing”? Whether sound technology can be harmful, and, if so, is it “more important to teach the kids to listen”? Nahun describes an instructive visit to a small jungle town where younger generations no longer have the ability to recognise specific sounds, such as the sounds of honey-producing bees - meaning that resources are lost as older members of the community pass away. The power of deep listening and the notion of “politicians with a capacity for [...] deep listening”, and what groundbreaking policies might emerge from such a (sadly improbable) possibility. Nahun's one of many projects Escuchadores: a physical structure installed in sound conservation areas conceptualized exclusively to listen and stay in the moment. We hope that you enjoy this episode, including Nahun's irresistible exuberance and enthusiasm! You can follow him on Instagram, and check out the work - writing, photography, video, sound art, and ambient music - on his (Spanish-language) website.

In episode 114 astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield take a look post-Oscars at Best Supporting Actress winner Zoe Saldaña and her artist/producer husband, Marcos Perego-Saldaña. Yes, he took HER last name! The two have been married for 12 years and have three sons.    First, we interpret Zoe's chart and see a dramatic and captivating "Lioness" thanks to her bold Leo rising!  Adding her Venus in Leo, we see that a life of glamour, attention, and the spotlight makes her feel deeply loved and appreciated. We also see a curious and dualistic (she's bilingual!) Gemini Sun in the 11th house, which greatly supports her in nailing roles like the best friend or the sci-fi warrior. Her freedom-loving Sagittarius Moon tells us that truth and travel are instinctive and a very necessary part of her lifestyle.   In Marcos' chart we find an artistic, sensitive, and esoteric Pisces stellium. With serious Saturn opposing his Sun, we know that his artistic confidence took awhile to mature and he can still struggle with hesitancy when it comes to self-expression. We also see a deep and private Moon/Pluto opposition that can create emotional ferociousness when provoked or defeated. With Venus in Capricorn we see that once in a relationship he's deeply committed and that social status is important to him.   Together, their synastry tells a story that we weren't expecting for a couple that has been married for twelve years!  First, we see a Sun/Moon square causing tension and unbalance between what is truth and what is fantasy.  This can also create feelings of insecurity and disharmony in the home. We also see an intense Mars/Mars opposition, causing the projection of anger and frustration onto one another. We do find comfort and ease in a generous Jupiter/Venus conjunction which might be responsible for their immediate and larger-than-life attraction to each other, but can it sustain them through tougher aspects like Neptune square the Sun and Saturn square the Moon? Listen in to hear this surprising Venus score!   Book a Reading with us!

We're finally talking about this year's perplexing Oscars frontrunner Emilia Pérez! Is it absolutely El Mal? Well, Zoe Saldaña certainly deserves the BSAs this awards season, Édgar Ramirez is a total babe and Adriana Paz is a welcomed addition as Best Supporting Epiphania. But the more you know about this movie, the more you realize it's giving Tommy Wiseau energy with a French twist and will more likely end up a pop culture punchline than best picture of the year.

Netflix's Emilia Perez is a hot mess of a movie. This musical crime drama, written and directed by French filmmaker Jacques Audiard, follows a de-greenified Zoë Saldaña working as a lawyer for a Mexican drug lord who transitions.Saldaña's character later goes on to support the former Mexican drug lord as she attempts to atone for her criminal past by founding a nonprofit to rescue the victims of the country's drug cartels, including her own.What could have been a powerful exploration of the struggles faced by trans people and all women in Latin America instead turns everyone into cartoons. Emilia Perez reduces the harsh realities of cartel violence and trans struggles into a gaudy spectacle, making one wonder if it was slapped together just to throw a wrench in Wicked's awards season dominance.Adding to the controversy, new reports have surfaced about the film's lead, transgender actress Karla Sofía Gascón, and her troubling history of racist and anti-Muslim remarks.Today we take a look at Emilia Peréz and other terrible, campy films the world would rather forget ever existed. Plus-- Paul Reubens, best known as Pee-Wee Herman, comes out of the coffin as gay in a new documentary about his not-so-private life.Woman pleads guilty to sendng fart vdeos to her boyfriends ex. Chappell Roan celebrates her Grammy win for best new artist by calling out record labels, demanding they give their employees a livable wage and healthcare. A mysterious nationwide network against Trump called the 50501 Movement plans protests in all of the nation's capitols on Feb 5. Happy 20 year anniversary to Feast of Fun, one of the first 50 podcasts in history, still going strong 3133 shows later. SAVE FEAST OF FUN, HELP US GET A NEW COMPUTER:• feastoffun.com/donate

Robert Winfree and Mark Radulich review movies currently on streaming services and in theaters: The Last Showgirl/Anora/Emilia Perez Movie Review! First up is The Last Showgirl (2024). Then we move on to Anora (2024). Finally we review Emilia Perez (2024).The Last Showgirl is a 2024 American drama film directed by Gia Coppola and written by Kate Gersten. It stars Pamela Anderson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Billie Lourd, Dave Bautista, Brenda Song, and Kiernan Shipka. Its plot focuses on a middle-aged Las Vegas showgirl who is faced with an uncertain future after learning that the revue she has performed in for three decades is scheduled to close. The screenplay was adapted by Gersten from her own play, Body of Work, which she based on her visits to the Jubilee! show shortly before its closure in 2016.The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2024, and was released in the United States on January 10, 2025. It received generally positive reviews from critics, with Anderson's performance garnering critical praise. The film received two nominations at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama for Anderson and Best Original Song for "Beautiful That Way". It also received two nominations at the 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for Anderson and Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for Curtis.Anora is a 2024 American comedy-drama film written, directed, and edited by Sean Baker. It follows the beleaguered marriage between Anora (Mikey Madison), a young sex worker, and Vanya Zakharov (Mark Eydelshteyn), the son of a Russian oligarch. The supporting cast includes Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, Vache Tovmasyan, and Aleksei Serebryakov.Anora premiered on May 21, 2024, at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or and received critical acclaim.

It grossed $32.5 million worldwide on a $6 million budget, becoming Baker's highest-grossing film.Emilia Pérez is a 2024 Spanish-language musical comedy crime film written and directed by Jacques Audiard. A French production adapted from Audiard's opera libretto, which was loosely based on Boris Razon's 2018 novel Écoute, the film stars Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, Mark Ivanir, and Édgar Ramírez. The story follows a Mexican cartel leader (Gascón) who enlists a lawyer (Saldaña) to help facilitate their transition into a woman to escape their criminal life. Featuring original songs by Camille, a score by Clément Ducol, and choreography by Damien Jalet, the film was shot in Île-de-France from May to July 2023.Premiering at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Emilia Pérez received international acclaim for its lead performances, direction, themes, and musical score, winning the Jury Prize and Best Actress award for its female ensemble. However, the film polarized audiences, with criticism in Mexico for cultural misrepresentation, stereotypes, and poorly executed Spanish dialogue, while some LGBTQ groups objected to its portrayal of gender transition.

Selected as France's submission for Best International Feature Film at the Academy Awards, it was also named one of the American Film Institute's top 10 films of 2024, cementing its status as a groundbreaking yet controversial cinematic work.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Elsie Saldaña still gets nervous on stage, almost six decades after she first started performing as a drag king in the Central Valley. She's the country's oldest drag king, and her first performance was in 1965 at Red Robin, a gay bar in her hometown. She performed Ritchie Valens' “La Bamba” and was instantly hooked. Right then and there, El Daña, her stage name, was born. Saldaña still graces the stage occasionally, but doesn't perform as much as she used to. But she still feels like the stage is where she belongs. This week we're re-airing a profile of El Daña from reporter Celeste Hamilton Dennis. Learn more about your ad choices.

Zoe Saldaña joins the show to talk about her role in Jacques Audiard's new film, Emilia Pérez. Saldaña plays Rita – a Mexican lawyer who is offered an unusual job to help a notorious cartel boss retire and transition into living as a woman, fulfilling a life-long desire.  Saldaña recalls being inspired by Audiard's work as a teenager, explains that playing Rita allowed her to combine her favorite artistic mediums and fully immerse herself within an acting experience, and reacts to the overwhelming public reception that the film has received so far.  She also reflects on her childhood, describes how ballet provided her with a much-needed escape from every-day life, discusses how her early acting experiences in films like Center Stage, Crossroads, and Drumline shaped the kinds of roles she wanted to pursue, and speaks candidly about handling roadblocks throughout her career.

In front of an audience at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival, the actress, now marking 25 years in the business, reflects on escaping from a painful childhood through acting, how she wound up the queen of the sci-fi blockbuster and why it meant so much to her to be given the chance to show that she could do other things in Jacques Audiard's highly-unconventional musical for which she and three costaras shared the 2024 Cannes Film Festival's best actress prize.
