Podcast appearances and mentions of Sean Baker

Part of the reason my guest, French filmmaker Boris Lojkine, has been so amazingly successful with his films, most recently SOULEYMANE'S STORY (2024), is his humility and understanding of how to portray people not like himself.Instead of making a "Parisian film about a middle age couple in the crisis of existential bullshit" -- his words -- he has made feature films that depict the life of an immigrant. Paris was the setting for his latest film, but he wanted it to come across as a foreign ZIP code.This was all borne out of his roots as a documentarian, and I am simply in awe of his story. And the fact that he eschews all social media. You're living the dream, Boris.In this episode, Boris and I discuss:why he's gone beyond most French filmmakers to show France from the outside;how he got his start in filmmaking as a philosophy teaching, making two documentaries in Vietnam;how narrative films can lose the reality of documentaries;the reason immigration factors into so many of his stories;if he's the right person to tell an immigrants' story;telling the story of female protagonists in his films;how Sean Baker helped him get distribution;if he's disappointed that his previous films aren't available for streaming;what led him to create SOULEYMANE'S STORY and the risks he took in making the film;the documentary feeling in his films and how he handles actors;does he see it as a compliment that other people are making films with similar stories?what's next for him and how filmmakers should be more adventurous.Boris' Indie Film Highlights: I ONLY REST IN THE STORM (2025) dir. by Pedro Pinho; A POET (2025) dir. by Simón Mesa SotoMemorable Quotes:"I started to make documentary films because my ex-wife was making documentary films and I saw how she was doing and I thought, okay, I will try to do my my own films too.""I wanted to make films abroad. I was not interested in making a Parisian film about a middle age couple in the crisis of existential bullshit.""There is the question of legitimacy and sometimes people, usually young people, younger people than younger than I am from, from another generation, they ask me, what's your legitimacy? And now I answer my legitimacy is zero. But because my legitimacy is zero, I have to work more.""I have to listen, and I think the most important thing in my work is not to direct, but to listen.""I was talking with a Congolese director. And my neighbor in the restaurant, he told me, oh, you are Boris. I watched your film yesterday and it's an incredible film. Let me talk to my friend Sean Baker, and he talked to his friend Sean Baker, who made a tweet. And the week after, we had a distributor, you know, sometimes you just have to eat Vietnamese in a restaurant."Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

Entre dezenas de produções independentes do mundo inteiro, um filme brasileiro marca presença na competição do Slamdance Film Festival, que começa no próximo dia 19, em Los Angeles. É com a estreia mundial de “Antônio Odisseia” que o Brasil desembarca no evento conhecido por revelar grandes nomes do cinema como Sean Baker, Christopher Nolan e o sul-coreano Bong Joon-ho. O longa, dirigido pelo paranaense Thales Banzai, leva à tela uma jornada intensa, caótica, visceral e bem brasileira. Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los Angeles Na história, Tony e sua melhor amiga, Ivy, assaltam o bar onde ele trabalha e roubam drogas que os levam a uma odisseia surrealista rumo a um encontro com Deus. O que começa como um roubo impulsivo rapidamente se transforma em uma jornada existencial, atravessada por delírio, espiritualidade e encontros inesperados. O cineasta Thales Banzai mora em Los Angeles desde 2020 e depois de anos tentando viabilizar projetos por editais e plataformas, decidiu apostar em uma produção completamente independente.“A gente financiou por conta da nossa produtora, a Seiva, que é a nossa coprodutora no Brasil, e produtores, amigos, próximos passaram o chapéu, todo mundo botou uma grana no filme porque acreditava no projeto e a gente resolveu fazer", diz. Filmado no fim de 2024, em São Paulo, em 17 dias, o roteiro foi desenvolvido ao lado de Kelson Succi, artista vindo do teatro e que também interpreta Antônio. Uma mistura de universos que ajudou a definir o tom do filme em uma produção toda em preto e branco. “Eu adoro trabalhar em preto e branco, fotografo em preto e branco faz muito tempo. Então é algo que consigo trabalhar nessa linguagem com facilidade e de que gosto muito. Dentro da nossa situação de produção, ajuda muito num filme de baixo orçamento, para a gente conseguir fazer, trazer mais valor de produção com menos, conseguir filmar mais rápido com poucos recursos de luz, criar uma situação expressiva interessante”, reitera. Além da trilha sonora (assinada por Kiko Dinucci e arranjo de cordas de Arthur Verocai) também ser peça central da narrativa, costurando realidade e delírio, o filme reúne participações especiais de Antônio Pitanga, Teuda Bara (que faleceu em dezembro), Leci Brandão e Chico César (narração). “O mais difícil foi chegar o roteiro no Pitanga, mas quando chegou, ele leu e curtiu muito. Foi a parte que também deu energia, colocou ainda mais energia. Ele falou que [o roteiro] lembrava dos personagens que fazia nos anos 1960 e 1970 e que estava animado", relembra. Festival alternativo Criado há mais de 30 anos como uma alternativa independente, o Slamdance aconteceu durante décadas simultaneamente ao Festival de Sundance em Park City, aproveitando a concentração de profissionais da indústria que já estavam na cidade nessa época do ano. Mas, a partir de 2025, o festival saiu de Utah e se estabeleceu em Los Angeles, marcando uma nova fase na capital do cinema. “Eu sinto que pra todo mundo com quem eu falo, e que está mais ligado na indústria, esse é um festival que todo mundo curte muito e admira muito, porque é feito com uma curadoria real. É um processo super democrático de pessoas que fazem filmes mesmo e que assistem a todos os filmes e debatem extensivamente o que deve entrar", diz Banzai. Para ele, o momento é propício ao cinema brasileiro, principalmente diante do sucesso de "Ainda Estou Aqui" e "Agente Secreto". “Acho que é algo que a gente pode começar a dar esses passos no Brasil, também, de sair só dos grandes cinco festivais, Cannes, Berlim, Toronto, Oscar e Veneza, e conseguir olhar para outros lugares, que são também super catalisadores de carreiras no mundo todo não só aqui”, diz Thales. Uma coprodução Brasil–Estados Unidos, “Antônio Odisseia”, chega a Los Angeles com apresentações nos dias 23 e 24 de fevereiro dentro da programação do Slamdance Film Festival.

Estas son las noticias del cine, series y cultura pop que no te puedes perder.

Queda aún mucho para cerrar la temporada de cine, pero ya empieza el nuevo curso de películas con festivales como Sundance, en las próximas semanas Berlín, y otros proyectos en marcha. En este episodio analizamos estrenos como 'Marty Supreme', la odisea por el éxito y la fama de Timothée Chalamet, el debut en solitario de la productora de Sean Baker con la fantástica 'La chica zurda' o la película canaria 'La lucha'. En 30 minutos os ponemos al día de todo el cine y las series.

Sergio Pérez entrevista a la directora de La chica zurda, película que ha causado sensación en todos los festivales por los que ha pasado. La película La chica zurda nace de una idea gestada en 2001 entre su directora y Sean Baker, inspirada en un recuerdo personal sobre el estigma de usar la mano izquierda, tradicionalmente considerada la "mano del diablo" en algunas culturas. Visualmente, el filme apuesta por una inmersión total al situar la cámara a la altura de los ojos de la niña protagonista, permitiendo al espectador recorrer el mercado nocturno de Taipei desde su propia mirada. Técnicamente, la obra destaca por haber sido rodada íntegramente con un iPhone en 4K utilizando la aplicación Filmic Pro, lo que le otorga un estilo cercano al realismo documental. Este enfoque, sumado a un equipo de rodaje muy reducido, permitió capturar la esencia vibrante de Taiwán con una agilidad que las cámaras profesionales convencionales no siempre permiten, manteniendo una alta calidad en la gradación de color y posproducción. En cuanto a su narrativa, la cinta explora la relación entre una madre y sus hijas sin caer en idealismos, reflejando una dinámica familiar donde el afecto se demuestra con acciones más que con palabras. A pesar de tratar temas sociales complejos, la película mantiene un tono optimista que ha resonado en festivales internacionales como Cannes y la Seminci de Valladolid, consolidándose como un relato de sentimientos universales con el que cualquier público puede conectar.

Cendrillon, mais autrement. À l'âge de 83 ans, Pauline Viardot signa un opéra‑comique où l'héroïne échappe au merveilleux pour s'inscrire dans une réalité plus humaine et sociale, loin du conte de Charles Perrault. Créée en 1904, cette œuvre renaît aujourd'hui dans une nouvelle production de la Co[opéra]tive, un collectif de scènes françaises qui va à la rencontre du public en dehors des grandes institutions lyriques. Revisitée par le metteur en scène David Lescot, cet « opéra de salon » miniature d'une durée de 1h10 est actuellement en tournée à travers la France pour plus de 70 représentations.

James Cameron-Wilson can't recall another week where the top six UK films are all holdovers, with The Housemaid returning to #1. #9 is the ironically-titled Mercy with Chris Pratt a man who has 90 minutes to convince an AI judge that he didn't kill his wife. Set in real time, it is mechanical but James was drawn in by its moral arguments. #13 is the adaptation of best-seller H is for Hawk with a brilliant Claire Foy and Brendan Gleeson. It is a beautifully-crafted film but doesn't have a strong storyline or conflict. While not bored, James did get impatient at times. On Netflix is the Taiwanese-set Left-Handed Girl, written by Anora's Sean Baker. The tale of a mother and two daughters moving to Taipei is filmed entirely on an iphone. With great performances, this guerilla style of filmmaking gives it an immediacy and the movie is a real gem. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Topics covered include:Voice memos as audio documentaries, the difficulty of keeping things small, Sean seeing Marty Supreme three times in theaters, maximalist territory, swimming in bigger lakes, moviemaking as time travel, Jack Fisk set stories, directors' knee health, Jennifer Venditti's wildly original casting process, feeling afraid of the script, Sean perfectly timing his edible intake at the Oscars, Darius Khondji as the “Prince of Darkness,” hunting down period accurate Cinemascope lenses, Ronnie Bronstein's love of Shark Tank, and Marty Supreme's epic alternate ending.

Throughout season 3 of this series, I've been speaking with leaders in the practice of civic design; designers who have dedicated their careers to improving the everyday experience we, as citizens, have when we interact with our government. My guests for this episode are two of the most respected leaders in the global civic design community: Arianne Miller and Sean Baker. For more than a decade, Arianne and Sean worked side by side as leaders of The Lab at OPM, a pioneering human-centered design team embedded within the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. Arianne served as Managing Director, and Sean as Director of Design Strategy and Operations.The Lab at OPM was dissolved in early 2025 as part of the Trump administration's sweeping cuts to U.S. federal government staffing. Since then, Arianne and Sean founded Civic Design Collaborative, with a mission to help government and civic-minded organizations create services that are easier to use, more equitable, and more effective.In our conversation, I was struck by how their approach to driving sustainable change in government is actually transferable to other complex, scaled organizations, especially in the private sector. We touched on themes that come up again and again on this podcast: the importance of building trust and nurturing relationships with key stakeholders, and approaching complex problems with deep curiosity and humility.Doug Powell is an award-winning designer and executive design leader with more than 30 years of experience in a wide range of design disciplines. Learn more about Doug's practice as a consultant, educator, and coach at his website dougpowell.design.

In the penultimate episode of 2025, Nadeem wanted options for "...unconventional Christmas movies." Chat GPT dug deep and provided Sean Baker's  "Tangerine" for the next movie review. Mita and Nadeem talk "The Secret Agent" and foreign films. 

Madeline, Emilio, and Julian wrap up their cycle of Unorthodox Holiday Movies with a film befitting of a Christmas Eve episode - Sean Baker's “Tangerine”, released in 2015. Joining Emilio as a first-time-watcher is Edo Choi, Film Programmer at the beloved NYC independent theater, Metrograph. The group reflects on the way this film catapulted Sean Baker to prominence in the cinematic world, and discusses the unique style that comes through via Baker's use of iPhone cameras. They also take time to appreciate the variety of performances in this film, from newcomers to Baker regulars to social media stars. And, of course, they attempt to answer the question on everyone's minds: why is this film titled “Tangerine”?**Programming note: This conversation was recorded approximately ten days before the news of James Ransone's passing. We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones during this time.If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

Come ogni anno, per le festività natalizie ci piace farvi i nostri migliori auguri con una selezione speciale, per rendere più cinefile e cinematografiche le vostre giornate: tre film (più un titolo bonus) da guardare con calma, da soli o in compagnia, e un drink pensato per ciascuno, perché il cinema, come il Natale, è soprattutto condivisione.

In this final review roundup before the festive season, hosts Laura Gommans and Elliot Bloom take a look at some new releases that should be on your radar this winter. Joachim Trier returns with Sentimental Value, a film about filmmaking and a tender companion to his celebrated feature The Worst Person in the World. Harris Dickerson steps behind the camera for the first time with Urchin, a striking debut anchored by a magnetic performance from Frank Dillane. Rose Byrne offers one of the most moving turns of her career as she navigates the weight of single parenthood in Mary Bronstein's If I Had Legs I Would Kick You. Finally, Left Handed Girl from Shih Ching Tsou offers a quietly affecting study of intimacy as it traces the intertwined lives of a mother and her two daughters, shaped through Tsou's long standing creative partnership with Sean Baker.Get tickets to Sentimental Value @ LAB111Get tickets to Urchin @ LAB111Get tickets to If I Had Legs I'd Kick You @ LAB111Get tickets to Left-Handed Girl @ LAB111

The penultimate regular Empire Podcast of the year is here, folks (don't worry, there are specials galore on the way), and it's a belter. Guest-wise, we have more goodies under the tree, as Jamie Graham talks to longtime collaborators Shih-Ching Tsou and Sean Baker (the director of Anora) about Tsou's directorial debut, Left-Handed Girl, which can be seen on Netflix; [25:27 - 41:51 approx] and Chris Hewitt has lovely chats with Wake Up Dead Man suspects, Daryl McCormack and Cailee Spaeny, [1:04:42 - 1:19:44 approx] and the legendary James L. Brooks, who returns to directing this week with Ella McCay. [1:40:42 - 1:54:01 approx] Either side of that little lot, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Beth Webb for more Christmas movie shenanigans, including a discussion of their favourite Christmas movie songs, and where they'd like to spend Christmas if they were in a movie. You'll be staggered to know that a certain plaza in LA gets a mention. The team also talk about the Golden Globe nominations and the potential Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros. (this episode was recorded before the Supergirl trailer launched, sadly), and they review Wake Up Dead Man (again), Eleanor The Great, Goodbye June, and Fackham Hall, which sees an Empire Podcast first. You'll have to listen to find out what that is. Enjoy!

We finish up our series on director Sean Baker by discussing the film that people took notice of first, Tangerine. The story of two transgender sex workers in Hollywood, CA. Where one finds out that her pimp has been cheating on her while she was away in jail.Filmed only with an Iphone at the time.

Join us for a conversation with Luke Cahill, a Los Angeles-based colorist whose credits include Icarus, With Love, Meghan, Tangerine, American Murder: The Laci Peterson Story, and the newly released Left-Handed Girl — now streaming on Netflix and selected as Taiwan's official submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.Luke shares how he discovered color grading and the moment the craft truly made sense for him. We talk through his early career, finding confidence in the suite, and how balancing technical skill with emotional awareness is core to the job. From grading Tangerine (shot entirely on an iPhone) to navigating high-pressure documentary schedules, Luke offers an honest look at the realities of finishing at a high level.A key theme of this episode is the human side of color. Luke discusses why colorists are often part technician, part therapist, how to build trust when clients arrive stressed or protective, and why simplicity, balance, and communication often matter more than deep node trees or plugins. We also explore look development, log workflows, and the importance of creating a safe, collaborative space where directors can actually see their film take shape.This episode is full of insight for colorists, cinematographers, editors, and filmmakers who want to understand the craft and psychology of finishing.Guest Links:IG - https://www.instagram.com/lightwavepost/Website - https://www.lightwavepost.com/IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1760738/Mentioned Work:Left-Handed Girl — Directed by Sean Baker, Streaming on NetflixIcarus — NetflixAmerican Murder: The Laci Peterson Story — NetflixWith Love, Meghan - NetflixTangerine — Directed by Sean BakerSend us a text Flanders Scientific Inc.

Taiwanese filmmaker Shih-Ching Tsou traces her path from a strict upbringing in Taipei to directing Left-Handed Girl, Taiwan's 2025 Oscar submission for Best International Film, and now streaming on Netflix. After years working alongside Sean Baker, the four-time Academy Award winner known for Anora, Tangerine, and The Florida Project, and her creative partner since they co-directed their first feature Take Out, Shih-Ching steps forward with her solo directorial debut.Shih-Ching and Baker wrote the script for Left-Handed Girl in 2010, but financing challenges kept the project on hold for more than a decade. Principal photography finally began in July 2022, a delay she now views as part of the film's natural evolution. The story draws from her experience growing up left-handed in a culture with rigid expectations for girls, and its emotional specificity has already connected with audiences around the world.Shot on an iPhone 13 with Beastgrip anamorphic lenses, the film captures Taipei's night markets with stripped-down realism influenced by Dogme 95 and Lee Chang-dong's Oasis. Shih-Ching worked with a small mobile crew, created the soundscape herself, and shaped the edit with Baker, whose instinct for editing performances she considers unmatched.After premiering at Cannes Critics' Week, Left-Handed Girl traveled the global festival circuit before Netflix acquired most territories, followed by theatrical releases in Taiwan, New York, and Los Angeles. Now representing Taiwan internationally, Shih-Ching reflects on stepping into visibility after decades behind the scenes. Her advice to filmmakers: trust your voice, avoid trends, build community, and keep going. Some films take time, and recognition often arrives later.What Movies Are You Watching?

It's Thanksgiving week and there are movies to see. Some great ones too and seven of them are covered this week by Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy. Shih-Ching Tsou, a producer of Sean Baker's films, returns behind the camera with a unique family drama on Netflix (Left-Handed Girl) where you can also see a fascinating journalistic mystery about the Vietnam War (The Stringer: The Man Who Took The Photo). Brendan Fraser takes on a unique acting challenge in Japan (Rental Family) while Miles Teller & Elizabeth Olsen die and must figure out if they want to spend the afterlife with each other (Eternity). Chloe Zhao delivers the emotional wringer of the year (Hamnet) while Rian Johnson gives us the third chapter of his fantastic Knives Out series (Wake Up Dead Man).

The comic fantasy "Eternity" takes the romantic triangle concept to a multidimensional level. Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner star in the tale of an afterlife weigh station, where a woman must decide whether to spend eternity with her husband of many years or her first husband who died decades earlier. The concept is better than the execution, but a likable cast gives this rom-com a considerable boost. The animated farce "Zootopia 2" is a worthy successor to the 2016 hit. In this lively, funny and smartly executed tale, a fox and a rabbit uncover the mystery of why reptiles are prohibited from a city where most animals live together in relative peace. It's a family film in the best sense of the term. It's a beautifully animated offering with zany slapstick for the kids and sly cultural and political commentary for their parents. Can't wait for “Zootopia 3.” "Left-Handed Girl" is an edgy Netflix drama from Taiwan. A struggling single mom opens a food stand in a busy Taipei marketplace. She contends with the troubles of her two daughters, one a wayward teen and the other a 5-year-old kleptomaniac. Although it's the first effort of director Shih-Ching Tsou, Sean Baker of “Anora” fame is the co-writer and editor. “Left-Handed Girl” is a shrewd movie that takes viewers to places they may not expect. A solid performance by Josh O'Connor is the main attraction of “Rebuilding,” a convincing if stubbornly low-key drama about a group of people living in Fema shelters after losing everything in a devasting Colorado wildfire. “Rebuilding” is an effective, deliberately paced tale of resilience anchored by inspired casting.

We speak with director Shih-Ching Tsou about her latest film, ‘Left-Handed Girl’, with Netflix – Taiwan's official entry for the Oscars. The film was produced, edited and co-written by 'Anora' director Sean Baker.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Left-Handed Girl" is an international indie drama written, directed, and produced by Shih-Ching Tsou, starring Janel Tsai, Shih-Yuan Ma, Nina Ye, Brando Huang, Akio Chen, and Xin-Yan Chao. Multi Academy Award-winner Sean Baker served as co-writer, producer, and editor. The film had its world premiere at the Critics' Week section of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its direction, writing, and performances. It has been selected as the Taiwanese entry for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards. Shih-Ching Tsou was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about her work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below.

November is finally the time to get to this year's Best Picture Oscar winner and here in episode #695, the talk/rant is indeed about "Ani". Somehow, auteur Sean Baker tied Walt Disney's record by winning 4 Oscars in one night while foul-mouthed fireplug Mikey Madison won Best Actress as well. She and Yura Borisov are two of a half-dozen people giving strong performances in Anora, the Russian-centric dramedy that gets funnier in what is also a repetitive, way-too-long second half. You'll probably find this monologue to be controversial, but answer this: what is this movie about? Is it just a crass Pretty Woman? Well, in any case, don't get married to the stupid idiot son of an oligarch. Just keep on strippin' for a livin' and swearing when you're really mad because feathers will be ruffled in this show that's all about Anora.

Our 2024 Oscar nominee double-feature (we're only talking about two because we are chasing our bliss) continues with Anora, Sean Baker's ode to class and sex work and the American dream. Where do we stand on that ending? Do we feel it's respectful? Let's find out. The post Episode 209 – Anora appeared first on FAKE GEEK GIRLS.

Enquêtrice de la fabrique des images Murielle Joudet le répète à l'envi : « Il faut prendre les actrices au sérieux, restituer avec justice et justesse leur importance dans nos vies, prendre en compte comment certaines ont su manœuvrer pour continuer d'apparaître telles qu'en elles-mêmes, y compris dans des films où le regard masculin est apparemment tout-puissant. Sans pour autant tomber dans l'illusion de leur liberté absolue car, bien sûr, l'industrie est là, souveraine. » Dans son troisième livre plein d'esprit, La seconde femme, elle dresse huit portraits de comédiennes qu'elle observe « jusqu'à plus soif » pour comprendre ce que Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Brigitte Bardot ou son idole Bette Davis réussirent à imposer au système dans le deuxième acte de leur carrière – à force de travail, de bâtons de dynamite ou de simple désertion.Ces derniers temps, Murielle Joudet a aimé Monte-Cristo version Pierre Niney, Max Mad : Furiosa, Joker 2, Bridget Jones 4, France de Bruno Dumont, The Substance de Coralie Fargeat, Anora de Sean Baker ou Spring breakers d'Harmony Korine. Des coups de cœur éclectiques, qui se comptent chaque année sur les doigts d'une main. « Habituellement, confie-t-elle, on peut écrire le texte dans sa tête pendant la projo, on sait exactement ce qu'on pense du film à la sortie et la plupart des œuvres font de moi une critique snob et blasée. Mais une ou deux fois par an, un film me désarme complètement. »En conséquence, cette spectatrice exigeante préférera toujours « voir cinquante fois un chef-d'œuvre plutôt qu'une fois une œuvre plaisante », selon la formule de la cinéaste et écrivaine Catherine Breillat, femme « scandale » à laquelle Joudet consacre en 2023 un recueil d'entretiens, Je ne crois qu'en moi, sacré meilleur ouvrage français sur le cinéma par le Syndicat de la critique.Dans ce troisième et dernier épisode, Murielle Joudet réaffirme ses envies d'enquêtes sur la fabrique des images, en « calmant ses envies de style, sans chercher l'éclat à tout prix ». Tout en rappelant l'existence d'un collectif qui ne manquera pas de fédérer des vocations : « Pigistes en pyjama ».L'autrice du mois : Murielle JoudetNée en 1991 à Paris, Murielle Joudet est critique de cinéma dans la presse (Le Monde), à la radio (sur France Inter pour Le masque et la plume), en ligne (dans le podcast Sortie de secours ou via l'émission Dans le film sur le site Hors-Série) ou pour la Cinémathèque française. Elle a publié quatre ouvrages qui documentent avec rigueur des façons de défier les conventions, en tant que femme, dans l'industrie du 7e art : Isabelle Huppert – vivre ne nous regarde pas (Capricci, 2018), Gena Rowlands – on aurait dû dormir (Capricci, 2021), La seconde femme – ce que les actrices font à la vieillesse (Premier Parallèle, 2022) et un recueil d'entretiens avec la cinéaste Catherine Breillat, Je ne crois qu'en moi (Capricci, 2023).

Arconada habla con Sophie de Mac Mahón y Miguel López sobre los ciclos de FlixOlé como Mujeres fatales en el cine español o el dedicado a Colomo. La plataforma FlixOlé tiene dos ciclos este mes de septiembre y un descubrimiento que sorprenderá a muchos. En primer lugar una colección especial dedicada a Fernando Colomo con motivo del estreno de dos de sus películas más icónicas en la plataforma: Bajarse al moro y ¿Qué hace una chica como tu en un sitio como este? El segundo ciclo es una colección dedicada a las femme fatale del cine negro español de los 50's y 60's. Analizamos como este arquetipo estaba presente en el cine español de la época y las singularidades que presentaba con respecto al cine negro americano. El descubrimiento del mes será Las vampiras de Jesús Franco. Una particular versión del mito de Drácula protagonizado por mujeres y a las que Sean Baker homenajeó en su reciente película Anora.

Justin and Chuck dive into Sean Baker's Anora, tracing its journey from fairytale romance to dark, slapstick chaos. Along the way, they explore the wild Vegas marriage plot, the tonal whiplash between comedy and despair, and Baker's distinctive filmmaking style. The conversation highlights Annie and Vanya's tragicomic turns, as well as Igor's unsettling loyalty. It all builds to a bittersweet finale that pulls the comedy back down to earth.

Send us a textIt seems as though the great ‘Paleo Boom' has come and gone!  All the books, all the podcasts- where have they gone?I've been writing and podcasting for more than 10 years; I used to listen to Robb Wolf and The Paleo Solution, Jimmy Moore and Livin La Vida Low Carb, Mark Sisson and his Primal Podcast, and many others.  Don't hear much from Robb Wolf anymore- Jimmy Moore is locked in prison for God's sake- and Primal goes on, and is just kind of Paleo with a different name…Now, the cutting edge seems to be focussed on Carnivore, with Sean Baker and others.  But is this carnivore pivot really all that much different than Paleo or Primal?Not really.  Those are all just words that encapsulate a certain set of ideas- that living in a more ancestral way, more in keeping with that of our forebears, is far healthier and more beneficial than the modern, pharmaceutical and processed foods-based version of the present day.  In other words, simpler is better.Carnivore could easily be another word for Paleo.  It's just another, more extreme way to practice the way our ancestors lived.  It is certainly A way, and a very simple way to have a ‘restart' with your health, that is possibly really messed up in the present day.I mean, you could call your paleo type of diet ‘The Great Grandparents diet', or the ‘Post nuclear apocalypse Diet', and the results would be very similar.  The idea is just to get away from the modern conventions and pronouncements of current ‘experts' and getting back to timeless sorts of recommendations from the past.  Time-tested and proven methods of health and wellness that have stood the test of time- of millennia- and not just those ideas that are being pushed by Big Medicine and the modern trinity of Pharmaceuticals, Big Food, and the Government .You know: Moe, Larry and Curly. The EXPERTS!I'm being a bit facetious, but in light of Fauci and the Covid disaster, along with the Low Fat food recommendations of the past 60 to 70 years, and the endless recommendations of Vegetable Seed Oils in our diets, well, the “experts” aren't looking too expert really, are they?And let's not forget the Exercise recommendations- “run long distances to gain complete fitness and above all, heart health…”.  More nonsense in place of simple strength training, walking, and stretching!  Grounding barefoot by walking on the earth, rather than sprint-running to exhaustion in timed races on tracks with over-cushioned shoes.I'm sure you get the idea.  The Paleo Diet and Lifestyle hasn't gone away, not at all.  Maybe the erstwhile leaders have left the field, moving on to other endeavors.  But the movement is intact, as strong as it was when it was being promoted by figures such as Weston A. Price, the dentist who noticed in the 1920's and 30's the wonderful health of pre-industrial people who ate their ancestral diets and moved in the manner in which they had evolved over long periods of time.  All of the tenets of Paleo are intact, and correct.  Eliminate most of ‘modern medicine', including most vaccines and pharmaceutical drugs, especially for our children.  Go back to ancient leaders, like Hippocrates, who said in old Greek times to “Let thy medicine be thy food, and thy food be thy medicine”.  This is timeless truth!Eat good, basic foods like meat and dairy.  Fermented dairy is best, and raw dairy is better than processed!  Likewise with grains- they are optional, but if made in accordance with established traditions, such as sourdough fermentation, they can Support the show

“The ultimate solution is the choices we make in our lives. ...we have started relying on healthcare as our solution for health, and it really isn't.”  Most health strategies stop at prevention—but the real game begins when you optimize. This episode dives into how high-performing professionals can maintain energy, muscle, and mental clarity well into their 50s and beyond. From blood work to stress management, the path to longevity requires precision, not punishment—and it starts with ditching the outdated “grind harder” mindset.  Zane Griggs shares how experimenting with everything from veganism to fasting led him to a science-based, personalized health protocol for midlife men. He breaks down why chainsaws don't work when a chisel is needed, how metabolic health can make or break your performance, and why trusting conventional advice could cost you years of vitality.  Zane Griggs is a health coach, author of Kickin' Ass After 50, and co-author with Dr. Ken Berry. He's spent over 25 years helping professionals and entrepreneurs over 40 reclaim their physical edge through sustainable, integrative health strategies.

Anora recently cleaned up at this year's Oscars, winning five awards, including best picture. Directed by Sean Baker, the movie follows an enterprising sex worker (Mikey Madison), who links up with a very rich and very immature young man (Mark Eydelshteyn). Their transactional encounter turns into a quickie Vegas wedding. But her new in-laws are Russian oligarchs, and they'll do everything in their power to put an end to this whirlwind romance. Anora is now streaming on Hulu, so now's your time to catch up with the movie if you missed it in theaters.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
