Today's episode features Devon Delmar, Jason Jacobs, and their feature film, “Carissa”, which just enjoyed its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival and was nominated for the Venice Horizon's Award for Best Film. They are also joined by Producer Deidré Jantjies. Past inspirations include Benh Zeitlin's 'Beasts of the Southern Wild'. The conversation delves into themes of community, cultural representation, and the challenges of storytelling on a tight budget. The filmmakers discuss their collaboration and process of crafting character arcs that reflect relatable struggles, all while navigating the complexities of cultural sensitivity. They reflect on the impact of their choices and the significance of casting non-actors to enhance realism. The discussion also touches on their unique editing process, the emotional connections that drive their storytelling, and how magical realism allows for deeper exploration of themes.What Movies Are You Watching?Like, subscribe and follow us on our socials @pastpresentfeature

Producer Josh Penn recalls leaving the Obama campaign to try his hand at movie producing, and striking gold with 2012's BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD. Not only was the film nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture, it grossed nearly 10x its budget at the box office. Not having much film experience served the filmmaking team well because their optimism, ingenuity, and confidence is what lended an air of true grit and authenticity to the film. From writer/director Ben Zeitlin writing a script in two weeks in order to get into the Sundance labs to producers insisting a local baker audition for the co-lead, a series of fortunate events led to the pure magic of the film. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hollywood-gold--5670584/support.

Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) tells the story of Hushpuppy, a young girl living with her daddy in the Louisiana bayou, adapting to a changing world: her father is dying, the climate is warming, and prehistoric beasts are returning from the ice to haunt her. Aurochs, the titular beasts, were real Pleistocene animals – although the movie takes some artistic liberties. It's a wonderful movie with many layers, but the only one we're really qualified to dissect is the evolution of cows. Win some SotSA Merch!

Join us as we sit down with Louis Michot (best known as the fiddle player and lead-singer for the Grammy award winning Lost Bayou Ramblers, but blowing minds on the sonic masterpiece that is his solo record “Rêve du Troubadour”) and discuss all things Cajun, Zydeco, Old Timey Music, Race Music, the birds of the air and the beauty of precise Louisiana French. “Rêve du Troubadour” was objectively without a doubt one of the finest album releases of the last 10 years and so it was a delight to talk with this humble genius.    Michot's passion for Louisiana French and local folklore, and sustainability in the fastest disappearing landmass in the world are what fuels his career as a musician. With over 20 LPs under his belt, his music career continues to push the boundaries of the Louisiana French music traditions. Rêve du Troubadour, the first solo album from Louis Michot, is out now and will be the best thing your ears have heard in moons. Special guests on these recordings include Nigerian Tuareg guitar wizard Bombino, and critically acclaimed singer / cellist Leyla McCalla among others. Known as a fiddle player, Michot primarily performed on guitar, bass, T'fer (triangle), samplers, percussions, and accordion. Some of finished tracks feature him playing every part, while others find him backed with bassist where Bryan Webre and drummer Kirkland Middleton of the Ramblers and Louis' other regular band, Michot's Melody Makers as well as guests like Bombino, McCalla, Quintron, guitarist Langhorn Slim, Shardé Thomas with and without her Rising Stars Drum and Fife group, Grammy-nominated accordion player Corey Ledet, and Dickie Landry on sax. Kirkland Middleton of the Ramblers engineered and mixed the album at Nina Highway Studios in Arnaudville, Louisiana with various musicians building on basic tracks Louis had recorded at his home, houseboat studio. The album's title, “Rêve du Troubadour” -- “The Troubadour's Dream” in English -- refers to the manner in which Michot pulls his music from dreams into daylight, then fills it with storytelling. Though Michot has published over 100 songs, he feels that Rêve du Troubadour is his first collection of “writing” as these songs tell their stories in much greater depth than he's achieved before and utilize words peculiar to Louisiana French which seldom appear in musical compositions. 2023 marked the start of Louis Michot touring under his name, as a trio featuring Kirkland and Bryan on drums, bass, synths, and samples. The year started with a four show residency at New Orleans' iconic music venue The Maple Leaf, and continues with a debut at Festival International de Louisiane, and tours of the Midwest, East coast, and West coast later in the year. Louis' solo trajectory started while tracking his original songs in 2022, starting the recordings in his dry-docked house boat named “Sister Ray”, and completing the tracking at Mark Bingham's Piety Studio, the album being engineered and mixed by Kirkland Middleton. 2021 brought special challenges for Michot, from restarting his live music during the pandemic, to doing hurricane relief work as noted in Rolling Stone (Can This Cajun-Punk Musician Protect His Culture From Climate Change?, September 16, 2021) while raising funds to get solar generators and panels to residents of Terrebonne Parish affected by Hurricane Ida, as written about in New Yorker magazine (The Lost Bayou Ramblers Get Lit, January 3, 2022). Louis was named Louisianian of the Year in 2020 along with his brother Andre, and their band Lost Bayou Ramblers was named Entertainers of the Year by New Orleans' Big Easy Awards in 2019. 2017 brought the Lost Bayou Ramblers' first Grammy award for their 8th LP release, Kalenda, and 2019 marked the bands 20th anniversary along with a live album release “Asteur” and a documentary aired internationally on TV5 Monde, “On Va Continuer”. In 2012 Louis' violin and vocal work was the main feature for score of the Oscar nominated film Beasts of the Southern Wild, and that same year the band's 6th release, “Mammoth Waltz” was named 2nd most important Louisiana album of the 21st century by nola.com and won New Orleans' Best of the Beat Award.

We've hit the halfway point in our Conversations with Oscar series! Today we are talking about Anatomy of a Fall. A lot of the films this season are bigger in scope and feel, while this one is much smaller it still packs a giant punch. Justine Triet and Arthur Harari wrote a spectacular original screenplay that obfuscated the truth to not just the audience but to the star, Sandra Hüller herself.

Jennifer Lawrence is a household name today, but in 2010 she was a fresh faced new comer who scored an Oscar nomination right out of the gate.

Today on the program we start things off with a reality-shattering two pages, then shoot into outer space with our guest, the brilliant production designer Alex DiGerlando. We explore film sets and designed environments that come out of left field and reshape our understanding of what it is we're watching. We also dive into Alex's approach to his own work, which he describes as “part muse, part curation.” Rounding things out we also unveil a new prismatic style: the proverbial “lightning” round. Thanks again to Alex for the awesome, mind-blowing conversation!

From July 20, 2020: Linda Hamilton of Terminator  fame called in to promote her new film, Easy Does It.Directed by Will Addison and featuring: Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), Bryan Batt ("Mad Men"), Dwight Henry (Beasts of the Southern Wild), Ben Matheny (Assassination Nation)Best buds, Jack and Scottie (Ben Matheny and Matthew Martinez) are going nowhere fast in their crumbling, Mississippi hometown. They have big dreams and no prospects. When the friends learn of hidden loot in sunny California, they decide to take their shot at the American Dream. However, when their hometown criminal matriarch "King George'' (Linda Hamilton), hears of the windfall, she sends her personal bounty hunter/daughter, "Blue Eyes" (Susan Gordon) to chase them down. Broke and out of gas, Jack and Scottie attempt to drive off with "borrowed" fuel... and wind up staging an impromptu hold-up. The bungled job saddles them with a whiney, accidental hostage named Collin (comedian Cory Dumesnil) and lands them in the crosshairs of a cocky Texas cop and world-weary sheriff (Bryan Batt and Dwight Henry). With no turning back and two thousand miles to go, they have no choice but to rob their way across the Southwest... with the reluctant assistance of Collin. Now the good times are rolling as the ragtag trio's anti-heroics bring about an unlikely friendship with a blossoming Collin. All the while, Blue Eyes and Johnny Law are closing in. It's gonna be a guns-blazin', car-chasin' race to the finish!

Episode 403."Swagger"Actors: Quvenzhané Wallis and Isaiah HillI had a chance to speak two absolutely wonderful actors that you can currently find in "SWAGGER" on #appletvplus. Quvenzhané Wallis and Isaiah Hill are one hell of a team on screen.Quvenzhané is the youngest nominee in the History of the Academy Awards. At NINE years old she was nominated for "Beasts of the Southern Wild" in the lead actress category. Isaiah Hill plays Jayce Carson, a character loosely inspired by pro basketball player Kevin Durant, which examines his experiences as a young phenom on the AAU circuit before he made it to the NBA. Equally as wonderful an actor.Two very talented actors that have really made "Swagger" a "must watch" show.

Louisiana-based Lost Bayou Ramblers are a swinging punkass party band who mix Cajun melodies on fiddle, accordion, guitars, and some electric sounds. They've won a regional roots Grammy for their record, Kalenda, but they've also done an original score for ROUS, a film about Nutria Rats and Louisiana's coastal land loss, and contributed to the score for Beasts of the Southern Wild. Fresh off the French Quarter Festival in New Orleans, the Lost Bayou Ramblers join us in the studio (from the Archives, 2018.)

  A couple of years ago I watched and read a ton on Ernest Shackleton, the English Explorer who went to Antarctica 3 times. One of those was a journey that saw his ship, Endurance, get stuck in the ice and then crushed by the ice, leaving the crew of 27 adrift on an ice floe. After 6 months of drifting they made their way in the ship's boats to Elephant Island. Shackleton and five crewmates set sail in one of the boats to South Georgia island, a journey of 800 miles (1,300 kilometres) through the Southern Ocean.    Launching from Elephant Island   After a 17-day voyage, the crew and small boat reached the southern coast of South Georgia. Historians regard the voyage of the crew in a 22.5-foot (6.9 m) ship's boat through the "Furious Fifties" as one of the greatest small-boat journeys ever completed. Shackleton and two others crossed the island's mountains on foot to a whaling station where they organized the rescue of the rest of the crew. Ultimately, the entire Endurance crew returned home, without loss of life.  Welp, I hadn't intended on writing that much about Shackleton but it's such an amazing story. That was two years ago when I learned about Shackleton. Fast forward to today & I'm reading a book called "Antarctica" by Kim Stanley Robinson which has rekindled my fascination with the continent. I have now learned about Amundsen and his trek to the pole. And about Scott's tragic expedition in which he made it to the pole but froze to death on the way back. A surviving member of Scott's crew wrote a book about a part of the trip with a great title - "The Worst Journey in the World." Oof, that was a long-winded way of saying that I have had Antarctica on the brain lately. Of course, I had to create a mix to go with my obsession. One way to approach this mix would be to use atmospheric dub tracks. A lot of ambient dub music uses environmental themes and cold, arctic imagery. I thought that was the direction I was going to go until I stumbled on a bunch of tracks from William Ryan Fritch. He had a ton of great titles that fit perfectly, such as "On Frozen Ground" & "Ghosts in the Gale". And a couple of new tracks, "Blistering Wind" & "A Fissure Too Wide", are from his new album, Polarity, coming out this week.  After hearing those tracks I decided to go with a more organic sound. It seemed to fit better when thinking of journeys happening between 1905 to 1917. There are some electronics and synths that show up but generally, the mix has a more acoustic, orchestral feel.  The track titles show how the mix will take the listener on a journey that is a composite of many expeditions in Antarctica. The track by Irezumi is called Endurance, the name of Shackleton's ship. He uses some spoken word in the track that I assume is supposed to be Shackleton. The mix finishes with a whispering wind and the beautiful track "Before My Time" with vocals from Scarlett Johansson and lyrics that work well with the theme. Bundle up and enjoy this excursion to the bottom of the world. Cheers!   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00    Okomotive, Joel Schoch - Sail, my Friend!

It was awesome to welcome on the show Dan Romer, a Emmy award-nominated composer whose film and TV credits include Netflix's MANIAC, and the Oscar-nominated movies BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD and Pixar's Luca. In today's conversation, Dan and I discuss his beginnings as a record producer, later transitioning into film composing. The reasons why, following his work on BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD, he encountered resistance from the industry — and deep-dive into Dan's creative approach to scoring the Oscar-nominated Pixar film LUCA, set in the Italian riviera of the 1950's. All of this… and much more! Thank you to White Bear PR for setting this conversation up. Dan's latest shows include a new season of THE GOOD DOCTOR, currently streaming on Hulu, as well as LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, now on Showtime.

Team Vintage Sand returns to the airwaves with our October episode, a neat bookend to Episode 31 wherein we explored our favorite final films by great directors. Here we present Episode 41--Gala Premieres: Our Favorite First Films by Great Directors. To begin, we decided to establish some parameters to spare you, our tenacious audience, any pointless discussion.. The first is that we tried to avoid directors about whom we have already discoursed at great length in these pages. The second, what we termed the Julie Dash Rule, is that we would only focus on first films by directors who went on to long and predominantly successful careers in feature films. That's why you won't find movies like "Boys Don't Cry"(Kim Pierce), "One False Move" (Carl Franklin), "Beasts of the Southern Wild" (Benh Zeitlin) or one-hit-wonders like Laughton's "Night of the Hunter" or Loden's "Wanda" here. Plus, we already did a full episode on one-hit wonders—that would be Episode 10. (The fact that the brilliant Dash has only been able to make one film in three decades is a mystery to be explored in another episode or two—utterly inexplicable). Our last rule is the Rosebud Rule; we tried to exclude any first films that were too obvious to spend time on. That would include "Citizen Kane", "The Maltese Falcon", "The 400 Blows", "Breathless", "Badlands", "Boyz ‘n' the Hood", "Reservoir Dogs" and similar fare all the way through "Get Out". So join us as we bring back those wonderful moments where you wandered into a film by a new director and left the theater realizing that you had just witnessed the birth of a new voice to be reckoned with.

It is February of 2020 and after 8 long years director Benh Zeitlin, known for Beasts of the Southern Wild, is releasing his greatly anticipated next movie. What could go wrong? Uh oh. Looks like a little GLOBAL PANDEMIC has driven people inside away from theaters and this indie film is all but forgotten. But should it be? The Hello From Obscurity gang takes a closer look at this indie movie. A modern retelling of Peter Pan, but this time from Wendy's perspective. Is this reimagined fairy tale worth remembering? Or is it doomed to stay forever in Neverland?

#161 Don't Worry Darling, Samaritan, Beasts of the Southern Wild This week, we follow the POV's of a 1950's housewife, an inner city boy and the queen of The Bathtub. Don't Worry Darling provides some controversy but overall has a cool concept, good acting and a lackluster finale. Samaritan, the script stuck in the 90's, has a 70-something year old Stallone repenting a possible superhero past life. Beasts of the Southern Wild is the indie darling of a decade ago; a film rife with style and muddy glamour as we see life in a post-Katrina landscape through the eyes of a powerful little girl.    Next Time: Amsterdam, Blonde, Silver Linings Playbook     Recent Discoveries Luke: Emily the Criminal Ralf: Untold: The Rise and Fall of AND1, Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen Oscar: Revealer, Grave Encounters, Grave Encounters 2, La Llorona     Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:10:14 Recent Discoveries  00:33:50 Don't Worry Darling 00:50:19 spoilers 01:17:04 Samaritan 01:28:41 spoilers 01:39:43 Beasts of the Southern Wild 02:09:00 EXIT

#160 Barbarian, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank, Django Unchained This week, we begin volume two of the Anniversaries. Going back ten years three times, each of the hosts will get a chance at choosing one film to highlight a 10, 20 and 30th year anniversary. Django Unchained draws first blood, with large squibs included. Barbarian is a sleeper horror hit involving a house in the middle of nearly nowhere with a dark underbelly. Finally, Paws of Fury is a remake of the classic Blazing Saddles, which leads to an unfortunate blend of a movie that is too mature for kids and too infantile for adults.    Next Time: Don't Worry Darling, Samaritan, Beasts of the Southern Wild   podmoviecast@gmail.com otherpodcast.com @podmoviecast   Oscar: @Armenfilmmaker Ralf: @GamerRalf  Twitch: SiouxTrauma Luke: @SlothMasterLuke     Recent Discoveries Luke: Morbius Ralf: Shadow Oscar: Spiderhead, Taipei Suicide Story, The Sadness     Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:05:52 Recent Discoveries  00:26:31 Barbarian 00:36:05 spoilers 00:52:20 Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank 01:09:01 spoilers 01:17:55 Django Unchained 01:52:46 EXIT

 A digital Red Queen, glimpse of white rabbits, what could be seen as zombified "cards," and an amnesia-afflicted girl named Alice...

We discuss this and more in our 70th(!) episode, like what sets Resident Evil apart from other video-game adaptations, the icon that is Michelle Rodriguez, understanding the complexities of the story as an adult and what one Karl Marx might think of Alice's adventure down in the Hive if he gave the movie a watch.

Beasts of the Southern Wild is a breathtaking film. Quvenzhane Wallis takes us on a journey that not many adult actors could do well. She carries herself simultaneously as the small child she is and the young woman she learning to be. We all just want to feel cohesive. Dwight Henry, the actor who played Hush Puppy's father was another stand out. Listen to us rave about his performance and how we wish his name was amongst those in the supporting actor category.

Once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub. It was an indie darling that went all the way to a Best Picture Oscar nomination. Benh Zeitlin's debut feature, set loosely in the New Orleans south around the hurricane, really has its beating heart in 9-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis, the sweet, moral, defiant Hushpuppy. 

Directed by Benh Zeitlin and released in 2012, Beasts of the Southern Wild tells the story of a young girl named Hushpuppy and her dad Wink. Residing south of New Orleans in a community called the Bathtub, their way of life is threatened by an incoming storm, sending the residents on an odyssey and a fight for survival. Inspiring audiences since its release, it's a unique, hopeful, yet cautionary tale of the modern age.

On this episode, we welcome editor Affonso Gonçalves to chat about his work on The Lost Daughter. The film stars Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Dagmara Domińczyk, Jack Farthing, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, with Peter Sarsgaard, and Ed Harris. Past credits include: Winter's Bone, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Carol, Paterson, and Wonderstruck.

Los viernes, el maricóctel, un podcast y una serie de enlaces recomendados para ponerte al día de algún tema destacado. Y los lunes, el maricoffee, un repaso de cuatro titulares para empezar la semana bien informado (y un test de actualidad para ponerte a prueba).Leer esta newsletter te llevará 28 minutos y 23 segundos.Porque es un placer fastidiar a los críos (sorry, padres). Bienvenido a La Wikly.🧑🏻‍🦳 Obstáculos y atajosLo importante: Joe Biden tiene que afrontar las crisis que azotan a Estados Unidos de dos formas: desde el ejecutivo con decretos como los que lleva aprobando estas semanas y/o con la ayuda de las cámaras legislativas.Por si hace falta que te refresquemos la memoria.Cámara de Representantes, con mayoría demócrata ajustada de tan solo 10 congresistas (222-212).Queda un escaño en Nueva York por decidirse.Senado, con mayoría demócrata muy ajustada (50-50) gracias a la función que la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris ejerce para deshacer empates.En la Cámara de Representantes es posible pasar muchos proyectos de ley ambiciosos por mayoría simple. Es decir, 218 congresistas y los demócratas solo se pueden permitir cuatro fugas.El Senado es otra historia.Es por eso que en esta edición de La Wikly queremos explicar los dos mecanismos que permiten pasar o bloquear leyes en el Senado y que pasarán a formar parte del lexicón de esta newsletter en los próximos meses.EL FILIBUSTERQué es. Se trata de una técnica específica de obstruccionismo parlamentario mediante la cual se pretende retrasar o enteramente bloquear la aprobación de una ley o acto legislativo a través de las intervenciones de los congresistas.Como el sistema estadounidense es uno que no contempla un tiempo límite para las intervenciones de los congresistas, un filibuster puede implicar largos discursos, mociones dilatorias y una cantidad ingente de proposición de medidas.Regulación en el Senado. Tras más de cien años de prácticas de filibuster, se han desarrollado leyes reglamentarias para controlarlo e impedir que el mecanismo frene en su totalidad la actividad del Capitolio.Hasta 1970, el obstruccionismo en un debate frenaba por completo la actividad del Senado, pero con la adopción del sistema de dos vías se permitió tener dos o más leyes/nominaciones pendientes en simultáneo.¿Cómo? Designando períodos específicos durante el día para que cada una sea considerada. Ejemplo:La nominación judicial de Pepito será considerada por la mañana y hasta la hora de comer.La ley de transición patológica será considerada a lo largo de la tarde.Es decir, que el filibuster permite de facto bloquear una ley porque un partido puede alargar un debate ad infinitum al tiempo sin frenar la actividad del Senado porque en paralelo se van aprobando otras leyes.La excepción. El Senado puede poner fin a un obstruccionismo invocando la Cloture Rule, una regla que desde 1975 permite terminar el debate con el apoyo de las tres quintas partes del Senado (60 senadores).Sin embargo, no es una regla que se invoque con regularidad debido a que suele ser necesario el apoyo bipartidista para obtener la supermayoría requerida.Por otro lado, la minoría de votos requerida por esa Cloture Rule, o regla de clausura, no es la misma si el debate gira en torno a modificar las leyes del Senado; para esos fines es necesario el apoyo de dos tercios de la cámara.En ocasiones, se ha propuesto la "opción nuclear", un procedimiento parlamentario que permite al Senado anular una regla permanente del Senado por una mayoría simple de 51 votos —si es que los 100 senadores están presentes.Eso incluye la regla de clausura de 60 votos necesarios para cerrar el debate.Con el tiempo, las prácticas de filibuster, que solían estar reservadas para problemas controvertidos, empezaron a afectar a casi todos los debates caldeados del Senado y se normalizó requerir los 60 votos para esquivar el obstruccionismo.¿Cuáles son las opciones para los demócratas teniendo el control de la Casa Blanca y del Capitolio pero sin una mayoría a prueba del potencial obstruccionismo del Senado?Crear más excepciones mediante la opción nuclear, como ha sucedido un par de veces en los últimos años, aunque para ello necesitarían el apoyo de senadores como Joe Manchin y Krysten Sinema, que no están muy convencidos.En 2013, una mayoría demócrata en el Senado puso fin al obstruccionismo para las nominaciones a los tribunales federales, así como a las nominaciones del poder ejecutivo.En 2017, un Senado controlado por los republicanos puso fin al obstruccionismo para las nominaciones a la Corte Suprema.Con la administración de Biden, gran parte de las políticas de la agenda demócrata están fuera de su alcance a menos que diez republicanos del Senado las respalden.Es de ahí que los demócratas lleven meses proponiendo a debate si el partido debería eliminar el obstruccionismo parlamentario con la llamada opción nuclear.Si la activaran, podrían aprobar muchos proyectos de ley sobre cambio climático, derecho al voto, ampliación de Medicare o subida de impuestos a los ricos con solo 50 votos (+Kamala) en lugar de 60.RECONCILIATIONQué es. Reconciliation o reconciliación es un procedimiento parlamentario del Capitolio estadounidense que facilita la aprobación de determinadas leyes presupuestarias.Es de especial utilidad en el Senado, pues permite evitar el filibuster y salvar el requisito de los 60 votos a favor necesarios para poder pasar la mayor parte de la legislación.Los mecanismos de control del debate ya existentes en la Cámara de Representantes hacen que este mecanismo no sea tan útil en esa cámara.La reconciliación permite al Senado, por mayoría simple de 50 senadores, aprobar por lo menos una ley al año que afecte a gastos, impuestos y límites de deuda como parte del proceso presupuestario.Existe la posibilidad de aprobar una ley que afecte a gastos e impuestos por un lado y otra ley que afecte a límites de deuda.Pero sí, solo uno de esos tres términos (gastos, impuestos y límites de deuda) al año.Este mecanismo fue creado por la Ley de Presupuestos del Congreso de 1974 y se puede utilizar para abordar aquellos gastos “obligatorios” o de derecho. Es decir, aquellos gastos determinados por las leyes de autorización vigentes.Eso incluye cambios a gastos que afecten a programas públicos de sanidad como Medicaid y Medicare, a pensiones civiles y militares a nivel federal o a cupones de alimentos y programas agrícolas.Eso sí, la conocida como Regla Byrd impide que por reconciliación se hagan cambios a la Seguridad Social o se aumente el déficit federal después de un periodo de 10 años, entre otros. La reconciliación fue utilizada por primera vez en 1980, y desde entonces se ha utilizado en otras 21 ocasiones. Entre los ejemplos históricos más reseñables:La reforma de ayudas sociales de 1996 (PRWORA).Las bajadas de impuestos de George W. Bush en 2001 y 2003.Como parte del proceso de aprobación de la Ley del Cuidado de Salud a Bajo Precio (ACA), mejor conocida como Obamacare, en 2010.La bajada de impuestos de Trump en 2017.Los republicanos, con su mayoría en el Senado, también intentaron utilizar la reconciliación en 2016 y 2017 para derogar Obamacare.Ambos intentos fracasaron: el primero porque fue vetado por Obama, y el segundo, ya durante la presidencia de Trump, porque no logró su aprobación en el Senado.A destacar el hecho de que el veto presidencial a una ley de reconciliación no permite reiniciar la tramitación de otra ley por ese procedimiento, lo que implica la exigencia de un nuevo proceso presupuestario.La de 2017 fue especialmente controvertida puesto que se intentaron aprobar dos leyes de reconciliación: una para el año fiscal 2017 (utilizada para intentar tumbar Obamacare; fracasó) y otra para el año fiscal 2018 (la que aprobó la bajada de impuestos de Trump).¿Y cómo pueden utilizar los demócratas la reconciliación?En teoría, los demócratas podrían aprobar una sola de reconciliación en 2021, aunque es posible que se puedan permitirse aprobar una extra del año fiscal 2020.Dado que en 2020 no se aprobó una ley presupuestaria correspondiente al año fiscal 2021, los demócratas podrían aprovechar este año para aprobar las leyes correspondientes a 2021 y a 2022.Eso permitiría la generación de una ley de reconciliación extra que los demócratas podrían utilizar para aprobar sus medidas legislativas más ambiciosas.¿Qué medidas? Los líderes demócratas ya han anunciado que utilizarán las leyes de reconciliación para aprobar algunas de las principales medidas legislativas del programa de Biden. Destacan:Los paquetes de estímulo para hacer frente a la situación económica dejada por la crisis de COVID-19 en caso de que no se llegue a un acuerdo con los republicanos.Legislación en materia de cambio climático e infraestructuras.Subida del salario mínimo a 15 dólares por hora, si bien esto no tiene precedentes de aprobación mediante reconciliación.¿Qué no pueden hacer? En esencia, no puede aprobarse por ley de reconciliación cualquier medida que no afecte a gastos, impuestos o límites de deuda. Entre las medidas que no se pueden aprobar por esta vía se encuentran:Reformas en los sistemas electorales, plazos de votación y procedimientos de redistrito.Convertir a D.C. y Puerto Rico en estados.Aumentar el número de jueces en los tribunales de distrito, de circuito o del Tribunal Supremo.Protección o extensión de derechos como el aborto, medidas o regulaciones medioambientales o restricciones en la tenencia de armas.No obstante, la decisión final dependerá de lo que decidan los propios parlamentarios, pues la Regla Byrd no deja de ser una norma sujeta a reforma o derogación.Los demócratas podrían tratar de eliminar esta norma para que las leyes de reconciliación puedan abarcar la reforma de cualquier materia legal.¿Desea saber más? En el podcast, Anita Pereyra y yo (hola, soy Emilio) hablamos de ambos mecanismos y de cómo encajan en el contexto político actual. The Daily, el podcast diario de The New York Times, publicó hace unos días un programa sobre el debate en torno a poner fin al filibuster.🤓 Qué están leyendo en…Washington D.C.: ‘77 días: la campaña de Trump para revertir las elecciones’ por Jim Rutenberg, Jo Becker, Eric Lipton, Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Martin, Matthew Rosenberg y Michael S. Schmidt en The New York Times. (en inglés; 46 minutos).The New York Times vuelve a juntar a muchas de sus estrellas para esta exhaustiva crónica desde dentro sobre cómo Trump y sus aliados construyeron una narrativa falsa sobre el fraude electoral. El reportaje es ilustrativo de la magnitud de la empresa de Trump y la complicidad de gran parte de la infraestructura republicana, así como de los baches que se encontraron por el camino (mi preferido, el repartidos reconvertido a cazafantasmas). Pero lo más revelador quizá quede en esta frase sobre el equipo legal del que se rodeó el ahora expresidente: “Por cada abogado del equipo de Trump que silenciosamente se echó atrás, había otro preparado para impulsar las demandas propagandísticas que pasaban por alto la ética legal y la razón”.For every lawyer on Mr. Trump’s team who quietly pulled back, there was one ready to push forward with propagandistic suits that skated the lines of legal ethics and reason.Silicon Valley: ‘La locura de la extrema derecha con las sobras de QAnon’ por Kelly Weill en The Dialy Beast (en inglés; 6 minutos).Si hace unos años eran los grupos privados de Facebook donde se lanzaron avisos de que ‘aquí está pasando algo realmente peligroso’ con la teoría de la conspiración QAnon, ahora el foco se va a centrar en plataformas de mensajería como Telegram, donde los medios tienen mucho más difícil hacer un seguimiento de la toxicidad que se da en algunos de sus canales. En The Daily Beast se hacen eco de las estrategias de reclutamiento por parte de grupos de extrema derecha o ultrareligiosos que están captando a seguidores de QAnon desencantados con la falta de resultados en las últimas semanas. Y lo peor es que podría estar funcionando.Hollywood: ‘11 películas atractivas a la venta en el Festival Virtual de Cine de Sundance’ por Brent Lang, Rebecca Rubin y Matt Donnelly en Variety (en inglés; 8 minutos).Con el COVID-19 haciendo imposible una cita presencial en Park City, Utah, el Festival de Sundance de cine independiente se celebra este año de forma virtual. Y aunque la pandemia ha frenado el estreno de numerosas producciones, la edición sigue teniendo en ristra algunos títulos destacados que repasan en este artículo de Variety. En Sundance siempre suele haber sorpresas de última hora (¡Whiplash! ¡¡Beats of the Southern Wild!!), pero algunos títulos a tener en cuenta: Passing, el por ahora aclamado debut en largometraje de la actriz Rebecca Hall con Tessa Thompson como protagonista; How It Ends, una comedia sobre un Los Ángeles postapocalíptico que parece ser una de las mejores respuestas al mundo postpandemia que viviremos dentro de poco; y Land, el también debut en largometraje de la actriz Robin Wright que no aparece en el artículo de Variety porque ya tiene distribución de Focus Features (el sello indie de Universal). Por cierto, Apple compró los derechos de la potencialmente lacrimógena CODA por 25 millones de dólares, récord histórico de venta del festival. Apuntad el nombre de la joven protagonista: Emilia Jones.😆 Quitándole la graciaWall Street Bets sigue siendo una de las noticias del momento a nivel global gracias a la narrativa del David vs. Goliath que tiene la historia. Lo explicamos en profundidad en la newsletter de la semana pasada y después en el noticiario de Twitch cuyo resumen editó mi compañero Mario aquí.Si ya habéis vuelto con el contexto, ahora podréis entender mejor algunos de los memes que se han hecho virales en Reddit en la última semana. Ahí está el de arriba en referencia al meme ‘go brrr’ que entró en nuestro ranking del 2020. Pero detrás de todo ese fenómeno hay un nombre que ha pasado desapercibido en muchos de los análisis de los últimos días: el de Keith Gill aka /deepfuckingvalue aka Roaring Kitty, un redditor que lleva meses hablando de Gamestop. The Wall Street Journal lo entrevistó:Todo empezó con este vídeo del pasado julio que ya es parte indispensable de la historia de internet:Os cuento esto para que podáis entender mejor los memes de DFV que vais a ver mucho en los próximos años. Ejemplo claro:Y este otro nivel icónico con la palabra Hold. Esto es, aguantad, en referencia a la estrategia de los redditors de seguir manteniendo sus posiciones en Gamestop para que los fondos de cobertura continúen ahogándose en su propia mierda:Conocido el contexto, se os hará mucho más fácil entender la presencia de DeepFuckingValue en versiones épicas del Hold the line! enmarcadas en películas como El caballero oscuro: la leyenda renace, Vengadores: Endgame, El señor de los anillos: El retorno del rey y, por supuesto, 300:Y en vídeos e imágenes que te alegrarán el día:Un buen meme nostálgico sobre el apoyo a GameStop.Un gran meme sobre apoyar la cabeza en la ventana del autobús.Un buen meme wholesome sobre la cola del supermercado.Un buen meme para recordar a Harambe.Un buen meme de Trump:🤩 Un vídeo para celebrar la vuelta de SNLSaturday Night Live volvió este pasado sábado a NBC con un episodio que dejó algún momento memorable como el que encabeza este párrafo, en el que Cecily Strong interpreta a la congresista republicana Marjorie Taylor Greene (QAnon Lady). Es parte del cold open de la última entrega del programa de sketches en la que curiosamente quien estuvo desaparecido es Joe Biden, que en episodios anteriores fue interpretado por Jim Carrey (ya retirado del rol) y Alex Moffat (parte del elenco de SNL).El programa tuvo algunos sketches muy flojos, pero tanto el cold open como el retrato de la Georgia Azul, un estado de repente megaprogresista, cuentan con ideas y gags cojonudos. Y ahí estará la clave. Sin Trump, es posible que SNL pierda mucho material fácil con el que levantar programas, pero también para que los guionistas arriesguen más que nunca y la sátira política sepa estar a la altura de un momento político que no debería tener que ser más aburrido.Haré muchas menciones a SNL en los próximos números de La Wikly, pero ya aviso que los vídeos de YouTube con los sketches completos suelen estar capados por localización, con lo que aquí solo podré compartir las versiones recortadas que la cuenta oficial del programa cuelga en Twitter. Si quieres verlo todo, tendrás que activar un VPN.Os dejo con un último extracto del otro sketch que más me ha hecho reírme esta semana:👋 Y para terminar...Una recomendación. HBO ha lanzado una serie documental sobre jóvenes que quieren ser famosos en Los Ángeles. Se llama Fake Famous y es una radiografía del universo influencer de la mano del periodista Nick Bilton y el sello de la cadena de cable, lo cual es un aliciente bastante potente. Las primeras críticas son buenas, como estas de The Hollywood Reporter y de Wired, así que parece un gran plan para el fin de semana.Hasta la semana que viene, This is a public episode.

  Here's another impossible task - compiling a mix of the best film scores of the decade. Like any of my other year-end mixes, this is not really a "Best" mix. It's a collection of scores that I listened to a lot and fit within my ambient aesthetic.  The tracks are laid out chronologically from when the films were released. Starting with Monsters in 2010 to Ex Machina in 2015 and finishing up with American Woman in 2019  There are scores from four TV series included in this mix - Halt and Catch Fire, Mr. Robot, Stranger Things, and The Knick. They are some of my favorite soundtracks and definitely worth checking out.  There's not much else to say about this mix, it's pretty straight forward. I'm sure I missed a bunch of very good film scores but I think this mix holds together as a cohesive set. I hope you enjoy it!  Cheers!   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00    Jon Hopkins - Water (Monsters  2010) 01:15    Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross - Intriguing Possibilities (The Social Network 2010) 04:05    Cliff Martinez - Rubber Head (Drive 2011) 06:35    Alexandre Desplat - Emergence of Life (Tree of Life 2011) 09:57    Dan Romer & Benh Zeitlin - The Thing That Made You (Beast of the Southern Wild 2012) 12:08    Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek, Reinhold Heil - Prelude to the Atlas March (Cloud Atlas 2012) 13:18    Alexandre Desplat - Maya on Plane (Zero Dark Thirty 2012) 17:05    Max Richter - Find Schumaker (Dosconnect 2013) 17:31    Arcade Fire - Sleepwalker (Her 2013) 20:13    Mark Orton - Their Pie Hawthorne version (Nebraska 2013) 22:40    Cliff Martinez - Finish Your Breakfast (The Knick 2014) 24:22    Han Zimmer - Cornfield Chase (Interstellar 2014) 25:42    Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow - Falling (Ex Machina 2015) 28:45    Nick Cave and Warren Ellis - Farewell at Tinguit (Loin Des Hommes 2015) 30:50    Ryuichi Sakamoto & Alva Noto - The Revenant Theme Noto Remodel (The Revenant 2015) 34:14    Johann Johannsson - Heptapod B (Arrival 2016) 37:40    Nicholas Britell - Metrorail Closing (Moonlight 2016) 38:52    Paul Haslinger - The Scenic Route (Halt and Catch Fire 2016) 40:27    Mac Quayle - 1.0_5-pierreloti.au (Mr. Robot 2016) 43:13    Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein - Hazmat Suits (Stranger Things 2016) 44:52    Christopher Spelman - Source of the Verde River (The Lost City of Z 2017) 48:03    Tamar-kali - Ronsel Leaves (Mudbound 2017) 49:10    Valgeir Sigurðsson - Communication (Little Moscow 2018) 51:33    Nicholas Britell - If Beale Street Could Talk End Credits (If Beale Street Could Talk 2018) 53:00    Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie - Lipstick in the Trash (American Woman 2019) 56:29    end
