Listen to understand how to dramatize a character's internal change. Welcome to our third entry in our character arc series; and the first where we talk about characters that actually change. And positively, too. We deep dive into BARBIE, WIDOWS and ALL OF US STRANGERS to work out what makes an arc feel positive -- even if the film itself is heartbreaking. All three films are "positive arcs" that feel wildly different. We speculate whether that's due to the nature of the relationship questions, the use of additive/subtractive rewards; and whether it's do with the connection of the characters needs and their goals. We further crystalize two tools we've been kicking around: The relationship question — take a character question ("will she learn to connect?") and pose it as a relationship problem ("will these two grow closer or further apart?"). Additive vs subtractive rewards — We continue buildling on this idea from our Steadfast episodes. Does the story give the character something or take something away? And is that a good or a bad thing? And Mel brings up a third: Repeating a beat from a different angle so we can trace a character's gradual evolution. We also debate whether Barbie's void scene is a producer's note personified — a director going into the endless nothing to spell the themes out one more time. All this and more on DZ-130!

When Doing the Right Thing Pays: Community Health Centers and the Future of Value-Based Care Host Dr. Robert Murry, CMO at NextGen Healthcare talks with Bob Theis, chief executive officer of Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center, about why health centers are uniquely positioned to lead the shift toward value-based care. Community health centers have long delivered the kind of whole-person, outcomes-focused care that value-based models are designed to reward. They discuss how accurate risk capture, attention to social needs, and proactive Medicaid outreach help patients stay connected to care. Theis also shares how one patient-centered program reduced emergency room visits among a group of 250 patients from approximately 1,500 per year to fewer than 400. The conversation also explores how data, AI and automation can reduce administrative burden, strengthen documentation and give care teams more time to focus on patients.

Listen to learn how to move an audience with a character who never changes. Do characters need to change for you to have a satisfying story? That's a question we've been asking since, like, episode five of this podcast. And we're finally talking about it! In this continuation of our deep dive into character arcs -- Stu, Chas and Mel break down MOANA, APOLLO 13 and THE DRESSMAKER to work out what carries a story when a character arc doesn't. If your protagonist isn't going to change, the drama has to come from what they do to everyone else. We do manage to figure out some tools that carry a steadfast story: doubt and wobble (a character with no doubt isn't steadfast, they're a psychopath), emotional events between characters, and a distinction borrowed from operant conditioning — additive rewards (you gain something) versus subtractive ones (something is taken away). The subtractive reward is why a happy ending can still feel like loss... and it's the thing we reckon that'll matter most when we get to negative arcs. We also wibble-wobble over WILLOW, TAKEN, FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF, THE MARTIAN, PROJECT HAIL MARY, THE GREY, ALL IS LOST, STAR WARS (as always), GREY GARDENS, PRISCILLA, and how many tampons NASA sent to space.

Send us Fan MailMoney affects almost every area of our lives, yet it's one of the subjects many of us feel least confident talking about. And yet - in midlife, when we're thinking about retirement, career changes, caring for ageing parents, or simply creating more freedom and security, understanding our finances has never been more important.Today's guest is Alex Theis. After an 18-year career in finance and investment banking, Alex combined her financial expertise with coaching to help women build confidence with money, challenge limiting beliefs, and make investing and financial planning feel far less overwhelming. Through her work and her 'Women Can Finance' community, she's on a mission to make financial wellbeing accessible, empowering and, dare we say it, even enjoyable. In this conversation, we explore why so many women lack confidence around money, how our childhood experiences shape our financial habits, the psychology behind spending and debt, practical first steps to growing wealth, and why taking control of your finances isn't just about money - it's about creating more choice, confidence and freedom in every area of your life.Find out more about Alex's coaching here: https://alextheiscoaching.com/ Support the showPlease remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

I Theis Ørntofts seneste roman, 'Habitat', støder Theis i sin research til et essay om grøn industri på et sigende tal fra Our World in Data: "I 1995 gravede vi 9.000 tons litium op af jorden. I 2021 var tallet steget til 100.000 tons. I 2030 forventes det at være steget til 500.000 tons." Det er "nådesløst deprimerende" læsning, konstaterer han. I stadig større skala graver vi kul og metaller op af jorden, affisker havet, overgøder landbrugsjorden og producerer oksekød, svinekød, kyllingekød og plastic. Det er mere acceleration end omstilling, vi er vidner til. Så hvordan kan vi tale om grøn omstilling, når vores forbrug bare eskalerer, og vi forsvinder ind i skærme drevet af litium-ion-batterier? Fra autofiktionen i 'Habitat' skifter Ørntoft genre og gear i det nye essay 'Bag litiumbjergene', der er et opgør med det senmoderne menneskes fortrængninger. Essayet undersøger, hvordan man finder håb i en global civilisation, som ikke er bæredygtig – og om det er muligt at genskabe forbindelsen til et jordisk liv. Vær med, når dansk litteraturs helt store klima-killjoy Theis Ørntoft prikker hul på den grønne omstilling og kaster et kritisk blik på, hvad der gemmer sig "omme bag den gode fortælling."

Listen to separate the three layers of an arc -- does the character change? How do they feel about it? And how is the audience positioned to feel about it? Stu, Chas and Mel finally begin their long-awaited journey into CHARACTER ARCS. In this "primer" episode, we try find some learnings and analytical lenses that we can then apply in future breakdowns. In this episode, we explore differences between a character learning something and a character fundamentally changing, how to dramatise that, and how the show teaches the audience to perceive that transformation (whether positively or negatively). Throughout the discussion, we skate over A NEW HOPE, BLUE MOON, BREAKING BAD, BETTER CALL SAUL, the French real-time thriller FULL TIME, A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, THE GREEN KNIGHT, ALL OF US STRANGERS, PREDATOR BADLANDS, FIELD OF DREAMS, MEG 2, and Stu's receding hairline. Ultimately, this discussion synthesises into a series of questions to ask of a story and the main point-of-view character living through that story: Does the audience enter the story with an expectation that characters will change? How does the story teach the audience to expect characters to change or not? Do the characters change? Is it experiential change or internal value change? How is that dramatised? Is the character aware that they changed? How do they feel about that change? Does that matter? How does the story want the audience to feel about that change? If different to the character's perception, how does the story pull that off? How does the story world punish or reward the change? What are the values explored by the arc? How does this relate to the theme? How is contrast vs affinity/unity portrayed through the characters' journey? Order vs disorder vs inertia What is the emotional event created between the character and audience as a result of the journey? Does the character end up more intimate or distant from the audience? In upcoming episodes, we intend to apply these lenses to stories with STEADFAST/RESILIENT arcs, POSITIVE arcs, NEGATIVE arcs and - potentially - a “WTF is this?!” arc.

We are jumping into a new series on Jonah. The book of Jonah isn't primarily about a fish--it's the story of a faithful God pursuing a wayward heart. Through Jonah, we will learn together about God's relentless mercy for everyone. Sometimes God sends storms not to punish us, but to rescue us.  Theis morning, Pastor Karla discusses how Jonah loved his comfort more than compassion. God uses small things to expose our big idols. Sermon challenge: What "plant" are you clinging to that keeps you from sharing God's heart for others? Sermon challenge: How do you respond when God blesses someone who doesn't seem to deserve it?

Listen to learn the emotional impact of revealing secrets vs discovering them. In this episode Stu, Chas and Mel apply the Landmark–Hidden–Secret framework (from DZ-126) across two very different genres: the thriller SIDE EFFECTS (2013) and the tragicomic pilot of SHRINKING. SIDE EFFECTS is a film of two genres. The first half plays as a drama about depression and over-medication; the second half is a 90s thriller. We talk about how every time Dr Jonathan Banks uncovers a new piece of information, it puts him in danger — and that danger motivates him to uncover more. In SHRINKING, we see a different use of the framework. "What are psychologists but detectives of the mind?" Rather than the cost of finding secrets, it's about the cost of sharing them. Chas also comes out of this with a paradigm he's been building toward (but we're keeping what that is secret until you listen!) And inevitably we go on some tangents: whether SIDE EFFECTS should even have been an erotic thriller!

How can Secrets and Clues motivate characters? "Getting information puts your character in danger. And danger rewards your character with information." — One of three ideas we steal from game design in this episode. In this two part series, we talk about how secrets, clues and hidden information motivate characters and may (or may not) help you plot from a character perspective. Part One (this episode) looks at WAKE UP DEAD MAN; while Part Two looks at SIDE EFFECTS, and the pilot episode of SHRINKING. The other two (related) ideas are: Landmark information (characters just have it), Secret (they know it's there, need to unlock it), and Hidden (invisible until they pay the cost) Narrative velocity — are characters pushed forward or are they pulled forward? To that end, in this episode Stu, Chas and Mel start with the murder mystery (ostensibly the easier deep-dive): Rian Johnson's WAKE UP DEAD MAN. But this is a complex film made even more complex by being a dual-protagonist film. Uhuh. Benoit Blanc is pulled through the story by his need to solve the case; Father Judd pushed through, against his will, to prove his innocence. Breaking down how that plays out — and why it matters for the kind of escalation each character can sustain — is the heart of the episode. And inevitably we go on some tangents: pointers, plants, and underpinnings (from our Everything Everywhere All At Once episode) fair play in locked-room mysteries, Narrative POV (as always) and node-based plotting and what dungeon-crawl game design has to do with writing a web of clues. "The way those secrets were hidden, revealed, and discovered were all rooted in the characterization." — Mel Killingsworth Like this episode? Discuss with our Patrons on Patreon. Or on Reddit!

À travers l'Histoire, de nombreuses sociétés se sont organisées de façon patriarcale : à savoir que tout ou partie des fonctions dirigeantes étaient placées entre les mains des hommes. Du coup, ça suppose une certaine exclusion des femmes pour ces fonctions. Et comme tant d'autres, les monarchies européennes ont globalement embrassé cette tendance. Mais attention, la théorie peut paraître binaire, alors que dans la pratique, c'était bien plus complexe… Rien que du côté de la France, celle-ci n'a jamais eu de reine de plein droit. En plus de mille ans de monarchie. Pourquoi ? C'est pas la malchance, ou un sexisme plus prononcé qu'ailleurs. Mais l'exclusion des femmes a bien été décidée, jusqu'à devenir traditionnelle. On ne parle pas d'une tradition immuable et sacrée, aux origines anciennes et oubliées, mais au contraire d'un choix assez tardif, qui remonte à peine aux Capétiens du 14e siècle !Bonne écoute !
