Writer Chanté Joseph recently explored this idea in an article for Vogue and on social media, observing a noticeable shift in how people - particularly heterosexual women - present their relationships online. Instead of posting clear photos of their romantic partners, many are choosing subtler signals: a hand on a steering wheel, clinking glasses, or even blurring out faces in wedding pictures. But why the change? Anita hears more from Chante.

This week, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of Sunset Boulevard (1950), the classic film noir that showcased the darker side of the Hollywood lifestyle. The film has inspired many movies that have followed and probably would have been made as a horror film today.

Nach den Empfehlungen geht es zu den Publikumsfragen: Vom Kubrick-Lieblingsfilm bis zu den gruseligen 70ern – ein bunter cineastischer Strauß! Gefragt wird auch nach meinem Zeit-Management: Wie kann ich so viele Formate produzieren und noch Zeit fürs Kino haben? Besonders ausführlich wird die Antwort zur Darstellbarkeit des Schreckens und zum Bilderverbot in Bezug auf Steven Spielberg und Claude Lanzmann. Dabei geht es auch um „The Zone of Interest“, der allegorisch lesbar ist. Außerdem: Was sollte man lesen und wie viele Bücher schafft man überhaupt in einem Leben? Widersprechen sich die Filmanalysen zu „Sunset Boulevard“ und „The Substance“? Wie prägen Stadtstrukturen das filmische Erzählen? Transportiert das Kino nationale Mythen? Wie wird das Thema Einsamkeit in „Red Rooms“ dargestellt (und warum ist „The Negotiator“ interessanter)? Diese und weitere Fragen diskutiere ich 85 Minuten lang in dieser Folge.

In 1985, forty-six of the biggest names in music walked into a studio on Sunset Boulevard after the American Music Awards. No press, no leaks, just purpose.We Are the World was not just a song, it was a project. A one-night mission to create something that would feed millions of people suffering from famine in Africa.In this episode of People, Process, Progress, Kevin revisits the story he first explored in a March 2024 Hope is NOT a Plan episode, this time through the lens of leadership, culture, and the Seven Project Pillars.Through the calm and clarity of Quincy Jones and the creativity of Lionel Richie, this team turned ego into empathy and chaos into collaboration.You will learn how thought leadership, intentional communication, and structured coordination helped them pull off one of the greatest overnight projects in history, and how those same lessons apply to your projects and teams today.Episode Quote:“Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie did not lead through control, they led through trust, and they showed us that people will rise to the mission when the purpose is clear and the tone is right.”

Thrust onto the public stage at 15 years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala Yousafzai became an international icon for resilience and bravery. Described as a reflection on a life of a woman finally taking charge of her destiny, her memoir Finding My Way has just been published. She joins Anita Rani in the Woman's Hour studio.There's a call to compensate women caught up in the scandal of faulty breast implants manufactured by a French company. The PIP scandal happened in 2012 when it emerged that the implants were filled with industrial silicone instead of medical grade silicone. The implants are far more likely to rupture than others. MPs on the Women's and Equalities Committee have been hearing calls for compensation during their inquiry into the health impacts of breast implants and other cosmetic procedures. Jan Spivey from PIP Action Campaign and Professor Carl Heneghan from The Centre for Evidence Based Medicine join us to discuss this.What if all your dreams come true and you still find yourself a bit grumpy? That's the brilliantly blunt question at the heart of Laura Smyth's stand-up tour, Born Aggy. Laura's journey into comedy wasn't exactly textbook. She left behind a career in teaching, was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer that same year and - just two weeks after finishing treatment - was on stage in Live at the Apollo. She joins Nuala McGovern in the studio.Choreographer and artist Amina Khayyam tells Anita about her new dance-theatre work, Bibi Rukiya's Reckless Daughter, which opens soon in London after a national tour. It explores how patriarchy is enforced not only by men, but across generations of women, within family structures.Singer, actor and performer, Petula Clark's career has spanned over eight decades. She sang to wartime troops in the 40s, was a 1950s child star, became a European musical icon before conquering America with her No 1 hit Downtown. She starred in Hollywood movies alongside Fred Astaire and performed on stage in musicals including The Sound of Music, Sunset Boulevard and most recently Mary Poppins. Her autobiography - Is That You, Petula? is out now and she joins Nuala to look back at her long career.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Simon Richardson

Chef Bruno Serato of the nonprofit Caterina's Club makes pasta for children from families who are financially struggling. It feeds 5,000 hungry kids every night. Now, Chef Serato's nonprofit needs financial help so it can continue to feed the community. The failed high-speed rail from LA to San Francisco cost taxpayers $130 billion. That's a total of $240 billion that's been wasted or is unaccounted for in California, including missing funds from the unemployment department and the homeless. Toronto Blue Jay fans in town for the World Series probably don't want to go home; LA is looking so beautiful right now. There's a rat problem in DTLA! A hand grenade was found at a Burbank recycling center! It led to an evacuation, but it turns out it was a dud. A woman was attacked in broad daylight while walking along Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.

Love can make a guy do funny things. Mass murder, torture, abduction... but he's just misunderstood? Maybe? Grab your backstage pass as we go way back to a classic classic - Lon Chaney's iconic turn in the film that launched the Universal Monsters. But do words like "iconic" and "classic classic" still hold true for a silent film? Do we feel obligated to enjoy a 100 year old movie, or does it actually stand the test of time? We're very excited to explore this, silent movies, and more. And we can't thank Paul McGuire Grimes enough for joining! Happy Halloween, friends.

Teaser zur ersten, zweistündigen Episode von Filmanalyse DeepDive: Donald Trump liebt SUNSET BOULEVARD von Billy Wilder. Dieser Klassiker von 1950, der auf vielen Rankings als einer der besten Filme der Welt vertreten ist, fasziniert den US-Präsidenten lange schon. Offenbar identifiziert er sich mit der Stummfilmdiva, die zwischen Fiktion und Realität kaum noch unterscheiden kann, und die ihr Comeback anstrebt - um jeden Preis. In der Filmanalyse DeepDive soll es aber nicht allein um diesen Film gehen, sondern darüber hinaus um das Verhältnis von Realität und Fiktion. Was, wenn man gar nicht Politiker sein muss? Reicht es nicht vielleicht, lediglich einen Politiker zu spielen? Billy Wilder führt uns an Fragen, die gegenwärtiger denn je sind. Den gesamten Deep-Dive gibt es als Podcast-Folge – sowie ein monatliches Q&A mit Fragen aus dem Publikum, außerdem sind die neuen, öffentlichen Filmanalysen im Abo werbefrei zu hören.Die Filmanalyse +ABO gibt es bei Steady als Monats- und vergünstigtes Jahresabo.

Janicke Askevold unpacks her journey from shooting Together Alone with friends during COVID to premiering her new feature Solomamma at the Locarno Film Festival. The Norwegian actor-turned-director traces how a one-page pitch led to full Norwegian Film Institute backing and a 25-day Oslo shoot that balanced long summer daylight, short 8-hour workdays, and a five-year-old co-star.Solomamma follows Edith, a journalist and single mother who secretly seeks out her sperm donor - an encounter that evolves into love, deceit, and a search for self. Co-produced across Lithuania, Latvia, and Finland, with sound design by a collaborator of Ruben Östlund, the film examines modern solo motherhood in the wake of Norway's 2020 legalization of single-parent conception.Janicke's cinematic influences span Fritz Lang's expressionism, Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard, and Maren Ade's Toni Erdmann. On craft, she champions preparation, the power of casting chemistry tests that “made her cry,” and editing as the stage where “you can make a whole new film.”Her advice to young filmmakers: trust your instincts, start sooner, send the story out—and don't wait for permission.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

Dana and Tom with returning guest, Frank Mandosa (Host of Reels of Cinema podcast, co-host of Movies across the Pod), discuss the Best Picture winner of 1980 - Ordinary People: directed by Robert Redford, written by Alvin Sargent, cinematography by John Bailey, music by Marvin Hamlisch, starring Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, Judd Hirsch, and Timothy Hutton.Plot Summary: Ordinary People is a powerful drama about a family torn apart by loss. The Jarretts seem like a perfect upper-class family, but the death of their oldest son, Buck, leaves deep scars. Conrad, the younger son (Timothy Hutton), struggles with guilt and depression, leading to a suicide attempt. With the help of psychiatrist Dr. Berger (Judd Hirsch), he slowly begins to face his painful emotions and heal.Conrad's father, Calvin (Donald Sutherland), wants to connect and support him, but his mother, Beth (Mary Tyler Moore), cannot show her feelings and insists on keeping up appearances. This emotional distance pushes Conrad away, creating tension in her and Calvin's marriage. Ultimately, the family must confront the truth that love and healing require honesty, not denial.Guest:Frank MandosaHost of Reels of Cinema podcast, co-host of Movies across the Podhttps://linktr.ee/reelsofcinema; www.frankmandosa.weebly.comPreviously on The Sixth Sense, Sunset Boulevard (1950) RevisitChapters:00:00 Introduction, Cast, and Background for Ordinary People04:02 Welcome Back Frank Mandosa06:43 Being Compared to Raging Bull and Mental Health in the 1980s19:35 Relationships with Ordinary People25:25 Are We in a Better Place with Mental Health Today?30:52 What is Ordinary People About?38:08 Plot Summary for Ordinary People39:17 Did You Know?46:15 First Break47:18 What's Up with Frank Mandosa48:18 The Cinema Legacy Poll Release #258:33 Best Performance(s)01:21:14 Best Scene(s)01:35:56 Second Break01:36:34 In Memoriam01:41:00 Best/Funniest Lines01:44:46 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:51:59 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:59:52 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty02:02:27 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness02:08:53 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability02:14:16 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total02:16:00 Remaining Questions for Ordinary People02:21:24 Listener Questions02:33:12 Thank You to Frank and Remaining Thoughts02:37:19 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to:

His work takes him around the globe, navigating strategic partnerships, closing multimillion-dollar deals, and leading teams in high-stakes environments. But what truly sets Michael apart is that once the blazer comes off, the mic comes on.That's right—Michael is also the frontman and creative heartbeat behind The Sunset Riot, a rock band that blends gritty soul, explosive guitar riffs, and raw emotion into a sound that stays with you long after the lights go down. Whether it's writing lyrics in hotel rooms between meetings or flying straight from a client dinner to a soundcheck, Michael juggles it all with a rare kind of grace and grit.And just when you think his plate couldn't get any fuller—he recently stepped into another lifelong role: husband. Michael is newly married to the beautiful Red, his partner, muse, and biggest supporter. Her influence is woven into much of his music and decision-making, offering him both grounding and inspiration in equal measure.It's not just about balance for Michael—it's about integration. He doesn't compartmentalize his life; he blends it. Each role fuels the other. His corporate mindset brings structure and drive to the band, while the creative spark from music adds color and emotional depth to his business strategies.In our conversation, we dive into how Michael manages the constant travel, the secret to switching gears between boardrooms and backstage, and how love, music, and leadership all play into his ever-evolving journey. Trust me—you don't want to miss this one.

In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Broadway powerhouse Mandy Gonzalez—known for her unforgettable roles in In the Heights, Hamilton, and most recently as “Norma Desmond” in the Tony Award winning production of Sunset Boulevard—to explore her remarkable journey on and off the stage. Mandy opens up about her vibrant career, her deep connection to storytelling, and the strength she's drawn from her experiences. Mandy shares, with honesty and grace, her personal battle with breast cancer—how she faced her diagnosis while continuing to perform, the emotional and physical challenges of treatment, and the resilience she discovered within herself. Through it all, Mandy found power in community, in vulnerability, and in her voice—not just as a performer, but as an advocate for hope. This episode is a celebration of courage, creativity, and the healing power of art.

One of the fascinating ironies about Los Angeles is that it is often movies in heightened genres like noir that best capture what the city really feels like to those born and raised in it (like this podcaster). Movies like Billy Wilder's acidic Hollywood takedown classic Sunset Boulevard and Roman Polanski's & Robert Towne's 70's new cinema classic Chinatown show sides of the city with a denizen's inside baseball knowledge. But there's also a neorealist strain in the films of John Cassavettes, Charles Burnett, and others that shows Los Angeles from a working class and middle class ground level. The way we actually live our life here. And finally, oddly, 60's and 70's B movies like 1977's totally couldn't be made today "The Van" show LA as it is because the moviemakers couldn't afford a budget to dress it up. They just shot what they could and captured LA without any soft lighting or makeup.  Join Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill (a 4th generation Los Angelino) as we discuss some of the known and underground gems that shine a real light on the city we who live here love. 

This week, the boys grab a few beers and head back to 2018 to catch up on what was happening the year “Annihilation” came out, before diving into a discussion about re-watching Alex Garland's follow-up to his 2015 hit “Ex Machina”.

After spending a little time mulling over the post-release feelings surrounding "The Colonel & The King," Justin and Bec give their thoughts on the newest Elvis box set from Sony Legacy, Sunset Boulevard, which encompasses recordings and rehearsals done between 1970-1975 at RCA's Studio C in Hollywood. The duo reflect on the the successes and shortcomings of this era of box sets that seems to be drawing to a close.  From Elvis in Nashville, Back in Nashville, Memphis and Sunset Boulevard mark a period where producer Ernst Jorgensen and mixer Matt Ross-Spang have seemingly reinterpreted Elvis's multi-track studio work in the 1970s through a more "rockist" lens; that is to say, one that promotes and emphasizes the perceived authenticity or purity of raw material recorded in-studio by Elvis and a core rhythm band without additional backing vocalists, strings and horns.  Despite great, modern-sounding re-mixes, these box sets have also marred by inconsistent mix decisions that contradict the claims that you're only hearing what Elvis heard in the studio - selectively leaving some overdubs, removing contributions from musicians that were physically in the studio with Elvis, and much more. It's a thought-provoking discussion about what the goals were, what value these sets have added, and whether they have helped us understand Elvis's creative process any better. For Song of the Week, Bec picks a childhood favorite, the sweet ballad "A Boy Like Me, A Girl Like You" from the Girls! Girls! Girls! soundtrack. Then, Justin uses "Good, Bad But Beautiful," an instrumental intended for Elvis to finish, to explore the fascinating circumstances of sessions, publishing, and release schedules that led to its recording at Stax in July of 1973... and Elvis's rejection of the Clive Westlake-penned song (later done by Shirley Bassey) at a late September 1973 session at his Palm Springs home, less than three weeks after having attempted to fire his manager.  This is one you won't want to skip... because there's a special Elvis Week surprise in this Song of the Week segment, courtesy of our good friends Jamie and John over at the EAP Society.

Award winning sound designer Nevin Steinberg has made it to the pod! Nevin is such a captivating storyteller and everything he talks about is infused with gorgeous detail and a palpable feeling of both awe and gratitude. You know how they say "how can you not be romantic about baseball?" How can you not be romantic about sound design?! That's what I say, anyway. In his first episode, Nevin walks us through his early career from working all night editing reel to reel tape with nothing but the ghost light and a healthy fear of the shadows (This is so fascinating and cinematic!! He can still taste the metal of the razor! That will make sense when you listen, I promise! I love it so much!) to dinner theatre and Sunset Boulevard and eventually a chance meeting on 42nd Street when he heard about a project called In the Heights.  Nevin has the most beautiful things to say about his experience working on Hamilton, including how it saved his career and reinstalled his faith in art and the people he gets to make it with.  Plus, Nevin explains audio details in songs like "Wait For It", "My Shot", "Yorktown", and "Satisfied" including how they changed from the workshops to what you hear on stage today (no matter where you see the show).
