Scott Pilgrim, the bringer of all things graphic novel fight, is the topic of the day. While the new animated series is out, maybe give the Banter bois a listen while they go over the film, with a scope on time. How would it be handled today. Is it woke? Will it trigger the SJWs? Sufficed to say, Scott remains the king of the flawed hero, but is that so bad?

Scripture: Matthew 3:1-12John the Baptist comes proclaiming one who is to come. So often we have heard that cry as one that is coming to judge our spiritual “housekeeping.” Maybe, instead, the invitation is simply to find room for the Holy to be born in us… just as “In the Bleak Midwinter” invites us to ...

In this episode I take a look at the singular importance of Carlton Lassiter to the process of reading people and the rational understanding of the observations that can be made as a result of this. Very often played for laughs as slower than Shawn but he brings forward the scientific method to the whole affair.

Welcome to this very special episode of Lochhead on Marketing, on what is the week of Play Bigger, my first book's fifth anniversary of publication. Recently on Follow Your Different, we had on Captain Paul Watson, who is the co-founder of Greenpeace and the founder of Sea Shepherd. Sufficed to say, Captain Paul is vey mission driven. Some would call him a saint, while others call him an eco-terrorist. What I could tell you for sure is that Captain Paul, like almost every other legendary person, is “kind of crazy”. We also want to share with you something that Churchill famously said, and that is to “Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about”. Now, what Churchill didn't say is what you should do if the thing that you can't stop thinking about makes you batshit crazy. Even worse, what do you do if the thing that you can't stop thinking about isn't really something that you think about? It's something that thinks you that is to say, it owns you. So in this episode of Lochhead on Marketing, the fifth anniversary of Play Bigger coming out, let's talk about the difference between being passionate and possessed and what that means. What Comes After Thinking It Churchill once said, “Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about.” What he didn't say is what you should do if that thing drives you nuts. Is this thing that's driving you nuts? The difference between choosing a passion and being possessed? Now that you're thinking about it, what if you really can't stop thinking about it all the time? In the end, all you could do is embrace it and call it your own. What happens after that? What happens if when you share it with people eight out of 10 times, they think you're nuts or you fail? Now imagine if that something causes you to fail 8 times out of 10 for 30 years, then what do you do? It's daunting, right? So what if I tell you that this is a big part of my story? For me, my something was Category Design. This week is actually the 5th anniversary of my book Play Bigger, which introduced Category Design to the world. What I have rarely talked about is the fact that Play Bigger was my last-ditch effort to try to make category design land. It was my last effort to try to make it have value and impact at any kind of scale for entrepreneurs, for creators, for innovators of any kind. I figured it would fail. I didn't want it to fail, but I figured it would be because 30 years of a two hundred batting average would kind of give that to you. Well, it turns out Play Bigger didn't fail. If you read it or shared it, I want to thank you very much, because your efforts put Play Bigger into the top one percent of books in the business book category. There is No Cheat to Success I wish I could tell you that having a legendary product will automatically lead it to success. It doesn't. This was also the case when I talked about Category Design before. Entrepreneurs and other business leaders would either misinterpret it as just another marketing or watered-down messaging, which is actually one of my least favorite words in marketing. What also irked me is when Hustle Porn Stars sell you the idea of how to be successful instantly. You just need to follow X, Y, and Z to achieve your goals. Based on experience, it never is as easy as that. Take it from someone who fell for it and have learned his lesson the hard way. “There is no shortcut to success. There's no such thing as a 4-hour work week. All that stuff about hacks and hustle porn, motivational garbage is a lie, and I'm no liar.” – Christopher Lochhead Sure, there are some people who get born rich or born beautiful and there are some people who win the lottery. But success in life is not about that. So I wanted to share with you what it really took, what it took to make Play Bigger and everything that's come since then successful was approximately two thousand five hundred and fifty five days. That's seven years. Play Bigger

Father Matthew C. Dallman, Obl.S.B. preaching on the Memorial of Saint Romuald (2019) in the Lady Chapel of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the campus of the University of Notre Dame during solemn Evensong, a service he was also asked to plan. Romuald is a true saint for the domestic church. He was a Benedictine monk who fell asleep on this day in the year AD 1027. In Dante's Divine Comedy, we find at one point Saint Benedict himself indicating to the pilgrim the presence of contemplatives, who are named “fires,” and these included Macarius (a desert father) and Romuald. His devotion to Christ was fueled by his many mystical experiences of God's presence in solitude while praying the Psalms. So much so that he felt driven out of a strictly coenobitic life in Benedictine community and rather devoutly experiment with the eremitic life, so as that between the life of community and the life of a hermit in solitude and what he saw as inherent tension between the two, there might be forged a new kind of harmony. His biography was written by none other than Saint Peter Damien, holy doctor of the Church, he is the founder of the Camaldolese Order (an outgrowth of the Order of Saint Benedict), and Romuald left us a Brief Rule that I think might be seen as a “How to Get Started” chapter in as yet unwritten, but probably never to be written, “Operations Manual” for the domestic church. But to explain that, I first need to back up. http://akensideinstitute.org/images/romuald_preaching.jpgIt was at last summer liturgy conferences that Dr O'Malley asked me to put together a plainsong Evensong in the Anglican tradition for this year's conference. It had become known (because I use social media more than the average person) that I had been conducting an experiment in my home, based in plainsong and the daily Offices (the Anglican equivalent to the Liturgy of the Hours) – that my family (my wife and our then four daughters whom we were homeschooling) might be ready to make the leap from the short, ten-minute form of daily chant developed from my study of Anglican pastoral theologian and priest Martin Thornton that we had used for four years, into chanting Matins and Evensong (Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer) everyday. Sufficed to say, the experiment has taken. Two years in, and it has become the anchors of our family's life, both in terms of routine but more importantly, in terms of our devotion to the Most Holy Trinity, it has spread within our parish, where we have daily Matins and Evensong in our chapel and have formed a plainsong choir in our parish (now 14 people strong) that has had three solemn Evensong services within the liturgical calendar (Eve of Michaelmas, Eve of Presentation, and Eve of Pentecost), and, we are here. Let me report that it is mind-blowingly wild that the waves of a homeschooling experiment in Pekin, Illinois might come to shore in the Lady Chapel of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. The Providence of God is real and active, and grace has been bestowed in two ways: one, to hear His invitation to give this experiment in domestic church a try, and two, to be steady during the ups and downs of its implementation which were adventurous as most things in a family often are. I arrived at this prayer of thanksgiving, not to boast in anything I have done, but to boast in what our loving Lord has done; and my gratitude was clarified by our two lessons of sacred scripture, as well as the example of Saint Romuald – all three of which present to the question of the domestic church the Light of Christ. The account of Samuel's encounter with the Lord draws our attention to the domestic environment, the unique culture of our homes. We want the environment, the ecology, of our homes to be such wherein the space of our home, and the pattern of our life in it, is one where God can be heard: like Samuel heard God, even where God calls our name, like he called Samuel's name. Also, our passage helps us t o dispense with the need for our home life to be a perfect haven of pure devotion by all members of the family. God called Samuel despite the word of the Lord being rare in those days and no frequent vision. The only concrete description was that Samuel was sleeping in relative proximity to the Ark of God, which for us is a prefigurement of Our Lady. In his introduction to Redemptoris Mater, Joseph Ratzinger wrote that Mary's faith means trust in God and obedience, even when one walks in darkness. Perhaps in terms of concrete practice, devotion to Our Lady within the domestic church, even one that may seem far from a space that realizes the sacred, is a sure foundation for an environment to emerge and grow in the home in which we can hear God, and is the way to begin to develop one, that our response to God's call of us is not slothfully ignored but rather that of Samuel, “Here I am!” It is to the characteristic of adventure in prayer that Saint Luke's account of the parents of Jesus finding Him in the Temple when He was twelve years old draws us towards. Let us assume that the domestic church life of the Holy Family was the ideal model of sanctity, fellowship, prayer – and really, the type of the eucharistic life realized in the home. All the more reason for us to be encouraged in our family lives by the fact that even for Mary and Joseph, whose intimacy and closeness with Jesus are a permanent and inexhaustible catechesis for the Church, even for them there were moments when Jesus felt far away. This is all part of the ebb and flow of the Christian life – between consolation and desolation, between presence and absence, between real communion and desire for communion. This is the Christian adventure, and it demands heroism on the part often of parents, who are uniquely empowered by God by the grace of their marriage to help the whole family find Jesus again; and it demands native heroism on the part of children, who through their curiosity and wonder show new ways to find Jesus, to echo Samuel's “Here I am.” http://akensideinstitute.org/images/romuald_ladychapel2.jpgAll of this would be “Saint Romuald approved,” and here I circle back to my assertion that Romuald is a true saint for the domestic church, with particular emphasis on the helpfulness of something he wrote, called his Brief Rule. First of all let us recognize that the patterns of day to day life today compared with 150 years ago are dramatically different, a primary reason for which is the technology of the automobile dramatically transforming cities, so much so that life for many of us in our homes is more like the life of Christian hermits than we might be comfortable admitting. Although we gather in social spaces of our cities and towns (I don't think Bowling Alone is quite right as whenever I bowl, the lanes are filled with large groups of people) and of course although we gather in our parish churches, we often do not know our neighbors, or many of them, or see our fellow parishioner but once a week, if not less often. Home life, even with large families, is often analogous to the hermit's cell – we are not divorced from wider society, but we often encounter them in in strikingly anti-incarnational ways on social media and even the telephone, and families often “do their own thing.” And so the first sentence of Romuald's Brief Rule is topical. It reads, “Sit in your cell as in paradise.” We would translate, “Be in your home as in paradise,” not because we falsely think our homes are the Church Triumphant itself in microcosm, but rather “paradise” as Jesus described it to the confessing thief next to Him on the cross, “Today you will be with me in paradise.” Our homes are this kind of paradise: where we work by grace through the process of everyday purification and purgation knowing that Jesus is very close with us, and has chosen to come close to us and walk with us. And that process of everyday purification – the home as paradise – is the arranging of our lives in and through the pattern of home life so as to be like Samuel, sleeping by the Ark of God, or for us, with a daily family devotion to Our Lady in the home, thereby able to hear God calling his name. That parents and children can hear God calling to them and guiding them. Later in his Brief Rule, Romuald teaches us to “take every opportunity you can to sing the Psalms in your heart and to understand them with your mind.” He continues, “And, if your mind wanders as you read, do not give up; hurry back and apply your mind to the words once more.” So yet, let us pray the Psalms in our homes. Yet there is another insight here: Just as if our mind wanders, hurry and apply it to the words again, if we lose our sense of the presence of Christ amid the ebb and flow of religious life like Mary and Joseph lost track of Jesus, let us not beat ourselves up, but go immediately and passionately to find Him. In doing so, we let ourselves be found by Him. Mary and Joseph passionately sought Jesus; let us persevere to find Him in the Psalms, or even as he taught one Psalm, because as he taught, “It is better to pray one psalm with devotion and compunction than a hundred with distraction.” Romuald finishes his Brief Rule with these words: “Realize above all that you are in God's presence, and stand there with the attitude of one who stands before the emperor. Empty yourself completely and sit waiting, content with the grace of God, like the chick who tastes nothing and eats nothing but what his mother brings him.” Mary brings us Jesus, and so in that sense, the traditional image of the mama pelican who pecks at her breast to feel her children is also an image of Our Lady, whose own soul was also pierced with a sword, the sword of the Spirit, that her sorrow and eucharistic glory at the foot of the Cross might guide us and feed us. Blessed Mary, Mother of God, and Saint Romuald, pray for us.
We talk about movies until like 4:50, so if you're one of the many people who don't need to be told that Dark Phoenix is a disaster, you can skip to there. In Gokaiger, we start with the Gogo V tribute! A simple story of helping out people, where everybody has a great time! Except for if you're Luka, who spends most of the episode desperately containing PTSD flashbacks to her terrible, awful early life. Then Jealousy appears and... Okay, we can barely explain what happens in the full ep. Sufficed to say, things get weird fast. Black Lightning coverage starts around 29:35 ! If you hear rock music, you're in the right place. In Black Lightning, Anissa just dumps the whole of the plot on her shocked sister, and even though it's probably the best decision in the long run, it's a bit of an emotional shock. Unfortunately for Jennifer, the person most inclined to "help" her through this period is Lynn, who... really isn't doing any favors for her likeability in this ep. Meanwhile Gambi is still trying to make things right, and in doing so uncovers a new layer of darkness in the Green Light case. It might just be time for some people to walk away from an explosion dramatically. FEATURING: A suit actor outside of a suit, so just an... actor! Interspecies relations of all kinds, and I mean ALL kinds! Henderson going rogue, and shockingly not dying yet! Send comments, corrections, or questions of literally any sort to brokusatsu@gmail.com ! And if you like what we're doing, leave us a review on iTunes.

Ep. 78 Marina Power is here because Akira (1988) is set in 2019! We go through this groundbreaking film seeking out the ways in which it accurately predicted our current timeline, stuff that didn't quite happen, and for the things we would carry over into our own 2019. Sufficed to say: this Japanese cyberpunk psychic-god-boy story got a surprising amount of things right, or at least less dystopian than the world we currently live in.

Christmas is almost upon us so Kneel Before Pod decided to commemorate the festive season by discussing a newcomer to the Christmas movie market. John McPhail's Anna and the Apocalypse is unique in that it's a Christmas film that also features a Zombie Apocalypse as well as a fair amount of singing. Sufficed to say, the team absolutely loved it so got together to talk about it in the usual detail. They praise the characterisation of Anna, Ella Hunt's performance and how well all the elements blend together to make for what amounts to a wholly satisfying experience. Join Craig, Chris and Andrew as they gush about this film like a blood fountain from a decapitated Zombie corpse. Craig can be found on this very site, Andrew’s work can be found on the Starburst website and in physical magazines that can be found in Newsagents. His interview with Anna and the Apocalypse director John McPhail can be found in the physical magazine.

Klaus Stockhausen is the contributing fashion director at Zeit Magazine and is a fixture of the fashion scene. This is a man who has really lived life to the fullest, and has done it with lots and lots of laughter. In fact, I don’t think I have ever laughed as much in an interview as I did with Klaus. He is honest and playful. Self-deprecating and just the right amount of catty so you know it’s all in good fun. Just to give you an idea about who Klaus is. He started his career as a DJ in Germany. Something he did for 15 years and he is created for introducing house music to the country. He was also in a boys band called Boytronic that had a top 10 hit song called “You”. He was doing street style long before that phrase even existed in the fashion lexicon. And not only was he the personal stylist for Naomi Campbell he was also the mastermind behind all of John Galliano’s extraordinary outfits that he wore to take his epic bows at the end of each of his Christian Dior and Galliano shows. Sufficed to say Klaus has got a lot of great stories to tell. As well strong opinions about the current crop of models, how to handle divas on a photo shoot and some key insights into how to be a successful stylist. We spoke together right after the month of fall/winter 2018 fashion shows had wrapped.
The Album: Kanye West: College Dropout (2004) Kanye has had a...not great year. From a public relations standpoint, it's been nothing short of a disaster. And yet...'Ye remains one of the most intriguing (if not also infuriating) pop acts we have, evinced to us by the fact that two different guests - rapper G Yamazawa and R&B legend Macy Gray - both asked to talk about Kanye West albums when they came on our show. By further coincidence, they came on the same day to tape which also happened to be the day of West's now-infamous Saturday Night Live appearance. West was also supposed to drop a new album that evening, Yandhi (spoiler alert: he didn't). Sufficed to say, all things pointed West that day, so much so that we were a little worried about releasing these episodes lest our listeners were suffering from too much Kanye fatigue. And yet...both conversations (the Macy Gray episode, about My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy will drop next week) were so compelling that we couldn't help ourselves. This one, with Yamazawa, was especially great in revisiting the old Kanye, chop-up-the-soul Kanye of College Dropout, where the young producer-turned-rapper came firing out the gate, putting the hip-hop world on notice that "oh sh---, Kanye raps too?" For G Yamazawa, then a young'un growing up in Durham "North Cack," West made a huge impression with his humor, sly politics and of course, the beats. Yamazawa, now relocated to L.A., knows something about sliding between worlds as a former champion spoken word poet turned MC (peep his new Money Is Time album) and together, we discussed what it was like for all of us to discover West's new persona back then, his taste in samples, and what era of West we gravitate towards.

Gregor Gregersen is the CEO and founder of https://www.silverbullion.com.sg?RI=S9314 (Silver Bullion Pte Ltd). A gold bullion and silver bullion Singapore dealer as well as The Safe House. A Singaporean Vault company for many types of precious metals; including electric vehicle metals. Gregor Gregersen has lived as an Expat for nearly 38 years, and he actually gave up his German passport to become a Singaporean citizen. In this interview, we talk about why Gregor chose this country to build his vault for gold bullion and silver bullion Singapore and how this led to electric vehicle metals. What are "Electric Vehicle Metals"? The Electric Vehicle Metals I am referring to are the metals that go into the batteries that power electric cars. These are precious metals and bullion of high grade. They are used in the manufacturing process and compose the bulk of the batteries themselves. Why Should we care about Electric Vehicle Metals and Batteries? Electric vehicle batteries are becoming too cheap to ignore. In the past 4 years, production costs for EV batteries have fallen by over 70%, thanks to investments from major automakers. Elon Musk thinks that these costs will fall a further 20% by 2020. That would make these batteries cheaper to produce than internal combustion engines. Special Report on Electric Vehicle Metals After recording the interview with Gregor Gregorson I got massively interested in the topic of electric vehicle metals as an investment. I took everything I learned from Gregor plus a couple of hundred hours of research and I compiled it down into a special report. In this special report, I break down why electric vehicle metals is a space you should really be paying attention to, what the opportunities are, what the pitfalls are and most importantly how you can get involved. I think you will see that the world is changing, fortunes are being made and by the time you hear about it on mainstream media it will be too late and you will have missed your chance. In my daily life, I travel the world searching for unique opportunities, I put an intense amount of due diligence in my research and when I find something really extraordinary I share it with my subscribers. This is one of those times... I was thinking about charging for this special report on electric vehicle metals…. Maybe $97 or $197 or maybe it will be part of a paid subscription newsletter I am working on, I have not decided yet... In the meantime I don't want to delay, this is timely information and I want to get this special report into your hands as fast as possible… therefore I will let you have a copy of it for free for being a loyal listener of this podcast. If you really want to dig into electric vehicle metals as an investment; to learn about the opportunities, how to protect your investment and what the exact steps are to get started in the most profitable way possible you can download your copy of the report for free by clicking https://expatmoneyshow.com/evm/ (HERE.) What Does Gregor Gregersen Store in his Singaporean Vault https://www.silverbullion.com.sg?RI=S9314 (Silver Bullion) Singapore holds all types of precious metals including gold bullion, silver bullion, platinum bullion. They buy, sell and test all types of bullion. And of course, as we talk about in this interview electric vehicle metals. Conversations on Commodities With Gregor Gregersen I find conversations on commodities like electric vehicle metals really fascinating. I have been speculating on things like this for nearly 10 years now. Sufficed to say a lot of work goes into understanding this. In the coming months, I will be writing more on investment topics like this. I am working on a paid newsletter where every month you will receive a special report detailing timely opportunities that I uncover in my journey around the... Support this podcast

Ep. 26 Goodness me! An episode with two guests! Marina Power & Sophie Gareau-Brennan join me on an adventure with one of the most impactful films of all time: 1997's Titanic. We talk about our memories and histories with this movie; we check back in after watching the movie ourselves to debrief; we expand our understandings of this movie through the 'Jack is Jacqueline' theory, the parody film Thumbtanic, and through Marina's Lord of the Rings/Titanic fan-fiction. Sufficed to say, we go through a true rollercoaster of emotions in this one. You can find Marina on Instagram or on Twitter. You can also find Sophie on Instagram.

The show starts off without much fuel. We have no Coco-host, no Squidge and no audience. Fire Captain Henry "Jim" Larkin shows up but too late to revive a dying introduction. A discussion of one of SK's recent tours results in a hazardous situation - a new song by Shantwon, "I stole the moment". The conversation appears to heat up with an email about the Pacific Ocean and its warm water Blob, however any expectation for stimulating debate is quickly snuffed out by a droning on about the new MUNI schedule and bus stops. The talk gets so dry we are ultimately required to keep a 30 foot defensible space between it and the bomb shelter. Just when it looks like we will all be asphyxiated by indifference (Mitch Albom's latest best seller), Babette enters and injects some much needed fresh air into the proceedings by regaling us with tales of her exploits in the old west as well as exposing SK's lack of funds when it came time to pop the question. SK's history lesson about the SFFD threatens to smother any spark of appeal that the podcast may have had when Jim attempts to rekindle interest with ghost stories and accounts of working out with Jim Jones in the '70s. Sufficed to say, this week, as with most around here, there was never any danger of the podcast catching fire - It's all suppressed with Pelligrino
On this episode, Lady P is joined by a couple of her warrior friends, Gabe Haggard and Derek Kessler, to discuss Sight and Sound's 17th Greatest Movie of All Time, Akira Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI. Then the trio wages glorious battle over what they consider to be the true purpose of film. Gabe says film should be exclusively a narrative medium, but Lady P disagrees. Sufficed to say, it gets ugly. In the end, scores are settled, blood is shed, honor is lost, but at least they've definitely settled the matter...definitely. Then they finish off with a few final notes of positivity. Here's Gabe's Here's Derek's Here's Lady P's
