Editors - Joseph Krings ACE and Jasmin Way THE PENTAVERATE editors, Joseph Krings ACE and Jasmin Way, first met when Jasmin assisted Joe on the indie feature, THE REBEL IN THE RYE (2017); a biopic about reclusive author J.D. Salinger.  Joe was so impressed with the way that Jasmin cut scenes for that film that he knew she was the right choice to join him as co-editor on Myers' new comedy series. THE PENTAVERATE was created by Mike Myers for Netflix and features Myers playing eight different parts throughout the six-episode series.  Initially mentioned in Myers' film, SO I MARRIED AN AXE MURDERER (1993), THE PENTAVERATE is about a Canadian journalist who tries to uncover the truth about a secret society of five men who have controlled the world since 1347. JOSEPH KRINGS ACE Joe Krings began his career as a commercial editor in New York City, but quickly grew restless knowing that his real passion was for long form film and television projects.  One of Joe's earliest films was a documentary called SUPERMENSCH (2013), helmed by THE PENTAVERATE creator, Mike Myers.  From there Joe would go on to make a name for himself with the dramedy feature, CAPTAIN FANTASTIC (2016) and indie films such as the aforementioned THE REBEL IN THE RYE (2017) and Sundance stand-outs, AFTER THE WEDDING (2019) and THE EVENING HOUR (2020). JASMIN WAY Jasmin Way is a New York-based film and television editor. Her first feature, SOLACE (2018) premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival and won Best Ensemble Cast. Her second documentary feature was the critically-acclaimed THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING (2018) about the history of women in film behind the scenes and in front of the camera. It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and was the runner-up for the People's Choice award. In addition to her work on THE PENTAVERATE, Jasmin also worked as an editor on the latest season of David Letterman's MY NEXT GUEST NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION (2022). Editing THE PENTAVERATE In our discussion with THE PENTAVERATE editors Joseph Krings ACE and Jasmin Way, we talk about: The challenge of editing a show where one actor plays eight characters Incorporating Netflix's revolutionary "Fix Plix" technology Cutting out profanity to increase the vulgarity The importance of diction in comedy Why you should never follow up an orgy scene with a shot of children The Credits Get your free 100GB of media transfer at MASV Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs Download your free trial of Avid Media Composer Ultimate Subscribe to The Rough Cut podcast and never miss an episode Leave me a message on The Rough Cut website Visit The Rough Cut on YouTube

Ryan Kruger is a South African writer and director who burst on the scene last year with his feature debut Fried Barry. Fried Barry is completely bonkers in the most wonderful way. It's about a drug-addled man in Johannesburg who gets abducted by aliens. The aliens take full control of his body and we watch the title character Barry go through one insane drug-fueled and blood-soaked adventure after another under their control. It's a blast and was featured on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs (which is unarguably the best way to watch it). This movie is one of the most original films to come out of horror in recent years which is why I was so excited to speak to Ryan. He has a lot to say on the topic of originality, true indie filmmaking, and how to market your projects. Without further ado here is Fried Barry Director, Ryan Kruger.  Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Ryan Kruger: You don't have to film in a straight line. Instead of production taking place through a designated timeline, Fried Barry was filmed on and off over the course of a few years. Sometimes, this is what you have to do for budgetary and scheduling purposes and there's nothing wrong with that. Even if you don't have your movie fully funded, start filming it. Investors are way more likely to jump on board once the train has left the station and they see that you're making tangible progress. See my conversation with William Lustig for more on this. If your production needs to start and stop, so be it, but make sure your cast and crew is aware of this and down for the ride, if only for continuity purposes. The other benefit of filming in stops and starts is it allows you as a director to evaluate your movie more deeply than you could have by just reviewing dailies at the end of a shoot day. Instead, as was the case of Ryan, he was able to sit with what he'd filmed for months at a time, and ruminate over it so he could make adjustments as he moved forward. Become a master marketer. Some filmmakers think that a movie's success will be based on its quality and merit. While both those things are critically important, your movie won't have an impact if people don't see it - therefore, you need to have a marketing plan and learn to promote the shit out of your film. This was something that Ryan was naturally very good at from the beginning. When promoting Fried Barry, he didn't do so through marketing traditional channels like media, interviews, etc. Instead, Ryan did off the wall things like making Fried Barry condoms and a relentless series of memes that featured the main character so that he could build recognition of his face on the internet. Traditional marketing channels for films are crowded and often leave you fighting for scraps of attention. Even if you can get your indie movie mentioned on Deadline, it'll soon be buried with news of higher budgeted projects and lost in obscurity. Instead, you need to come up with intelligent, creative, and disruptive marketing ideas that people will talk about. Listen to my interview with Shep Gordon for more of this, or just watch his incredible documentary Supermensch. Make polarizing work. Love it or hate it, Fried Barry cannot be ignored. It is so over the top and such a specific, hyper-individual vision that only Ryan could have made. These kinds of movies can be difficult to get approved, but they're a surefire way to get people oriented with your sensibility as a director - see Greasy Strangler for more on this. As Quentin Tarantino said, and I'm definitely paraphrasing, you should only make the kinds of movies that you were born to make, movies that only you would be capable of making instead of things that could be easily be done by someone else.  Thank you for listening!

Es gibt diese Menschen, die ein derart außergewöhnliches Leben führen, dass man aus dem Staunen und der Bewunderung gar nicht mehr heraus kommt. Shep Gordon ist so ein „Supermensch“. Er hat in den 1960er-Jahren zufällig neben den noch recht unbekannten Musikern Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison und Alice Cooper gewohnt und da sie ihn alle so sehr mochten, wurde er deren Manager. Und er machte aus ihnen Ikonen ihrer Zeit. Später hatte er die Idee, dass Köche eigentlich ins Fernsehen müssten, erfand den Begriff „Fernsehkoch“ und sorgte dafür, dass Köche ihre eigenen Shows im US-Fernsehen bekamen. So wurde zum Beispiel Anthony Bourdin weltberühmt. Er begleitete den Dalai Lama auf seinen Reisen und wurde einer seiner wichtigsten Berater. Was für ein Leben! In dieser Folge meines Podcasts verrät Shep Gordon seinen wichtigsten Ratschlag, wie man ein glückliches Leben führt. Inspiration pur!

Shep Gordon is an icon in the music and film industry and a marketing mastermind for his clients. Some of his notable clients include Alice Cooper, Teddy Pendegrass, Luther Vandross, Kenny Loggins, Anne Murray, Emeril Lagasse, Roger Verge, Wolfgang Puck, Nobu Matsuhisa, and Groucho Marx. He's also produced films like Kiss Of The Spiderwoman and Stop Making Sense. Shep has an autobiography called They Call Me Supermensch: A Backstage Pass ot the Amazing Worlds of Film, Food, and Rock ‘n Roll. And Mike Myers produced a documentary about him called Supermensch. Shep's ideas and marketing antics are well-known and helped bring fame and notoriety to many of his clients, most notably Alice Cooper. This isn't just another interview. Andy is digging deep into Shep's thoughts on his long and storied career. For instance, his entire outlook on his career took shape after one amazing college prank. After taking some “black beauties” with his friends, they came up with an elaborate prank announcing the arrival of a supposed foreign dignitary. Soon the papers picked up the story when one of his friends was dressing up as this esteemed person. It was then that Shep learned that we have the ability to write history. It's all in the delivery of the information. That one prank led to a long list of marketing stunts specifically designed to elevate and lengthen the careers of his clients, including Alice Cooper. Listen as Shep shares stories from his past and how they've informed his present. Not only has he come through Covid and all that it entails, but he's also a brand new dad. To say that he's had some huge shifts in perspective lately would certainly be an understatement.

Was ist eigentlich Transhumanismus? Können wir per Genmanipulation so etwas wie den Supermenschen herstellen? Und welche Implikationen hätte das für Gesellschaft und Forschung?

Shep Gordon's life is unbelievable. It really is-if you don't believe me, just check out his book and documentary, "They call me Supermensch." Gordon's story starts off like most rags to riches stories. Busted and a loser, Gordon takes off to the west coast with a suitcase full of drugs in hopes that something...anything will be different than his life thus far. After checking into a sleazebag motel, Shep wakes up to a woman screaming and when he goes to save her, he finds it's the legendary Janice Joplin getting it on! Shortly thereafter Joplin introduces Shep to her friends...Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison of "The Doors," and just like that, Gordon transitioned from their drug dealer to their music manager. Gordon's gone on to represent a buffet of talent over his long career. Today, you'll find Shep hosting dinner parties at his palatial mansion overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The parties aren't for networking, they're just a collection of great (famous) friends all brought together to celebrate life. Gordon has even cooked for the Dalai Lama! (I told you it's a crazy story!) He said when His Holiness walks into a room, he looks for the miracle first and the emotion second. ~~Just think how your life would be different if you put the miracle before your emotion. To see how far you've come...to be grateful... to see the miracle first, THEN productively handle the emotion. All of the pissed off, jealous, blow ups, and angry outbursts could've been handled more productively. ~~I'm rolling with you on this week's edition of TSL! ^^^Don't forget to share the show ^^^& please thumb a quick rating and review so that others can join TSL Nation too! ^^^^I'm on IG, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn @marshbuice and thesaleslife!@gmail.comSend in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/marshbuice/message

Shep Gordon is a legend in multiple industries. Manager extraordinaire to such acts as Alice Cooper, Blondie, Teddy Pendergrass, Gipsy Kings, Rick James and many others. Shep also was the sole inventor of the celebrity chef, paving the way for names like Emeril Lagasse and Anthony Bourdaine. What many people don't know, is that Shep was also a major horror producer back in the day, and produced a number of classic titles from Wes Craven and John Carpenter including: They Live, Village of the Damned, The People Under the Stairs, Prince of Darkness and Shocker. Above all things, Shep is an extraordinary human being and has a lot to teach the world, particularly those who work in entertainment. Shep first got on my radar with the fantastic documentary from Mike Myers about him called Supermensch. Supermensch is a movie that I rewatch at least 3 times a year - the lessons in it are absolutely golden, and Shep's life story not only uncovers the keys to having a prolific life, but shows you how to do a lot of good along the way. It's a really fantastic movie, and a downright fascinating and hysterical watch. I also highly recommend Shep's autobiography, They Call me Supermensch, which is also loaded with some of the most incredibly actionable  insight I've ever heard on the topics of success, business, entertainment, and life in general. Clearly, I'm a profound fan of Shep, and was very humbled that he took the time to speak to me and answer my questions. I was super nervous during this interview, mostly because Shep really means a great deal to me so this was super exciting. Soo, I'm at a loss for where to even begin recapping the major lessons from this conversation but here are three key takeaways from my conversation with Shep Gordon: Don't wait for history to be made, make it yourself. When managing Alice Cooper, Shep realized early that the only way to break through the noise of the music industry, is to stop waiting around for audiences and record labels to take notice of your act, and instead force them to with a spectacle they cant ignore. Shep became renowned at crafting large & elaborate PR stunts, most notably having a truck with a naked image of Alice Cooper with a python over his genitals, break down in the middle of Picadilly circus. This stunt sold out stadiums and gave Alice a huge presence in England. The learning here is to stop waiting for the powers that be to take notice, and force them to by creating history yourself. Study Joseph Campbell. Shep regularly re-watches the Bill Moyer conversational documentary series with Joseph Campbell (which is on Netflix right now). Multiple people, including George Lucas, cite the work of Joseph Campbell as pricelessly inspirational and insightful. In fact, George Lucas used his writings on the hero's journey and mono-myth archetypes as the foundation for Star Wars. Joseph Campbell teaches students to follow their bliss, and chart their own path towards heroism. Ultimately, Campbell's work is a source of empowerment that comes from centuries of wisdom. These works are a guiding force in Shep's life and therefore something very worth checking out.   Create Win Wins. It's no surprise that the entertainment business is shark infested; loaded with bullies, fast-talkers and schemers who in many cases, are motivated entirely by their own self interest. Across both music and movies, two notoriously cut-throat industries, Shep was the big exception. He was a perpetually nice guy and always did compassionate business and was still extremely successful. That being said, in order to operate in any of these businesses, you do need to have the capacity to be extremely tough and assertive or else you'll be completely eaten alive. Shep, was able to be both a nice guy, and a tough motherfucker, and the key to doing that was ensuring that there was always a win win and that no real blood was ever drawn in any confrontation. In every deal, there is usually a loser and a winner; someone who gets a bargain and someone who gets hung out to dry, at least a little. Shep goes to great lengths to make sure that, even in difficult and complex business dealings, there are always only winners and both sides are having their needs being met tremendously. This is big, and it's very unique to Shep, and it's one of the reasons why everyone in the industry completely and totally adores him. God, there are SO MANY MORE things to learn from Shep, so go see Supermensch, go read Shep's autobiography, and don't forget to subscribe to the Nick Taylor Horror show on Apple Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and everywhere you listen.

Have a seat and let an old-school record man show you how it's done. This is Shelby Singleton. When it took driving a trunk full of records around the country to make them into hits, that's what he did. Then he became a producer. Then he became a VP at Mercury Records.

This episode is recommended for fans of: marketing, publicity, controversy, rockabilly, Supermensch (the documentary on Shep Gordon), George Jones, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, David Allan Coe, Margie Singleton, Jeannie C.

“The irony is that you do so much better, when you stop caring about the outcome and start connecting in the moment and being your best.” - Charlie Hoehn Charlie graduated in 2008 into one of the worst job markets in history, and after a few months of fruitlessly throwing his resume out on Monster, started cold emailing entrepreneurs he wanted to work with. That soon led to working with Ramit Sethi, Tucker Max, and eventually Tim Ferriss who he worked with for three years. Charlie took what he learned from landing these mentorships and compiled it into a book, “Recession Proof Graduate,” which has been read by hundreds of thousands of people around the world, and was one of the first books that inspired me to get off the traditional college path. But then, something happened. Charlie stopped feeling like himself, and after a particularly crazy week of work, realized he was developing anxiety that was having a growing negative impact on his life. It soon reached the point where, as he said, his own girlfriend didn’t even recognize him, and only after trying everything under the sun did he stumble on play as a means of getting out of that mental state and getting control back over his life. We dive into all of this during the episode, including: What makes someone stand out when reaching out for mentorship How to develop skills, on your own, that you can pitch to people you want to work with Ways to make the money work while you’re doing the free work you’re excited about Why you can’t rely on great grades and a degree to get you a job How to treat and prevent anxiety through play Ways to bring more play into your life and avoid the busy trap As always, show notes and more can be found at: https://nateliason.com/podcast Find Charlie Online: Charlie’s website Charlie’s Twitter Charlie’s Amazon page     Mentioned in the show: Monster.com Recession Proof Graduate (book) Play It Away: A Workaholic's Cure for Anxiety (book) Charlie’s Play for a Living book Kickstarter campaign Buffer Programming for Marketers Career Builder I Will Teach You To Be Rich Tim Ferriss Book in a Box Play (book) Man’s Search for Meaning (book) Pandemic (board game) Slomo (video) Supermensch (movie trailer) 2:30 - Introduction 8:35 - Charlie’s story, him speaking on beginning his career, and doing unpaid work to find valuable connections. 18:00 - How Charlie made ends meet while doing unpaid work in the field. 22:03 - Charlie’s advice on how to reach out to people and succeed. 30:12 - Charlie on how he learned certain skills to offer to people. 32:52 - How Charlie found freelance jobs to hone his skills. 40:03 - Charlie speaking in-depth on anxiety and living more playfully. 51:07 - Charlie on the power of play, it’s benefits, and how vital it is for well-being. 1:06:51 - Simple ways you can bring more play into a busy lifestyle. 1:11:39 - Charlie’s advice on how to meet people with similar interests. 1:14:53 - Charlie’s wisdom for college students and the importance of creating your own agenda. 1:18:44 - Wrap up.

Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon (Mike Myers, 2013) EEUU El debut cinematográfico del cómico Mike Myers es una carta de amor a uno de sus mejores amigos; el manager y agente Shep Gordon. Y este responde con mucho gusto a la convocatoria explicando sus batallitas de veterano. Desde sus fechorías publicitarias con Alice Cooper (al que lleva representando 44 años) a la hostia que le dio Janis Joplin, pasando por su conversión en súper chef y anfitrión perfecto, Gordon explica su historia con una alegría contagiosa. Un lloc on caure mort (Miguel Ángel Blanca, Raúl Cuevas, 2014) España Este es el retrato de la crisis vital de Cándid, un recalcitrante punk de trentaytantos y cantante de un grupo de Hostalric (Gerona) llamado Autodestrucció. Una interesante auto reflexión sobre el hacerse mayor y la dualidad entre la actitud punk (que en el caso de Cándid se basa en alcohol y drogas en generosas cantidades) y la vida en pareja y responsabilidades como padre. Todos hemos conocido a un Cándid, o puede que tengamos algo de el. Todo esto en el podcast de rigor. Con temas de Blondie y (obviamente) Autodestrucció.

Ep. 98 - This week's podcast guest is the legendary Shep Gordon, famed music manager of Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, and Luther Vandross (among others) and the man credited with inventing the celebrite chef.  Shep talks to Zach about chinese food, the time he cooked latkes for Mike Myers, and how the music business and the business of food are practically identical (all in a car on the way to the airport.) Shep is the subject of the new documentary "Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon" which was directed by Mike Myers and is in theaters now.  

In his directorial debut, Mike Myers brings a comic touch to documenting the astounding career of consummate Hollywood insider Shep Gordon in the film Supermensch. Making playful use of archival footage, new interviews, and his own close relationship with the legendary talent manager, Myers reveals a man who has embraced his dualities: a hard-driving dealmaker who wants everyone to be happy and a rock ‘n’ roll hedonist who yearns for a family. Against a backdrop of debauchery, he’s a man on a spiritual quest. Hear a conversation with Shep Gordon and Michael Douglas.
