From one of cinema's wisest and most penetrating observers, an arresting new perspective on the sweep of film historyDavid Thomson has been called "the greatest living writer on the movies."

“For all the paperwork of democracy — government by and for the people — we have become a citizenry of spectators who simply want to be entertained. And we are accustomed to the realization that we can't do anything about what's on the screen.” — David Thomson Has the prolific film critic David Thomson fallen out of love with the movies? That's the question I began my conversation with Thomson, arguably the greatest living writer on film. My question was triggered by his revisionist movie history (out today), A Sudden Flicker of Light, which, while still glorifying film, nonetheless recognizes the damage that the medium has done to us. No, he hasn't fallen out of love with the movies, Thomson responded. But he did acknowledge a new kind of wariness about his beloved medium — a suspicion of auteur worship, that tradition which concentrates on the great artistry of individual directors like Welles, Hitchcock, and Scorsese while ignoring what the motion picture medium as a whole has done to society. “What has God wrought?” Samuel Morse asked about the telegraph. David Thomson is asking the same question about the consequence of movies. Cinema, particularly Hollywood, Thomson argues, has spent a century disempowering audiences. Sitting in the dark, gazing at the screen, people have lost their agency. This passivity, Thomson argues, has invaded our political life, transforming us from citizens into spectators. No, Mr Smith hasn't gone to Washington. Instead, America has become a theater of gawkers addicted to screen entertainment, unable to discriminate between a sudden flicker of light and reality. Thus the degeneration of America into a violent Coppola movie. Thus The Joker who has crawled out of primeval darkness and now monopolizes all our screens. You could make a movie about it. Call it “Being There” or “Network.” Or perhaps “The Truman Show.” Five Takeaways •       Cinema Has Trained Us to Be Spectators — and That Has Destroyed Our Agency: Thomson's central argument: sitting in the dark watching a bright light in front of them, audiences learned that the thing on the screen is not their responsibility. People are not really hurt on screen, no matter their bodies are torn apart. They are not really happy, no matter what they say in the film. And whatever happens, the audience remains a spectator. Extrapolate that out into a broader world and you have a society in which, for all the paperwork of democracy and government by and for the people, people have become a citizenry of spectators who simply want to be entertained. America, Thomson believes, is in that state. •       Every Cut Is Violent — and Every Cut Is a Marriage: Thomson's most original observation is the smallest: the cut. A cut is where the stream of imagery you are watching goes from one shot to another. It is a separation — but it is also a marriage. Every cut says: join them up. The way we measure the effectiveness of directors from D.W. Griffith onward is that they found ways to put shots together so that film had sequence and order, like the order of sentences in writing. And every cut has an element of violence in it, because you are seeing one thing and then, bang, you are watching something quite different. We have never taught our children what a cut is — even though they have spent far more of their lives watching moving imagery than reading. That neglect, Thomson argues, is consequential. •       The Culture of Manhood and the Systematic Neglect of Women: Thomson's most politically charged observation: the culture of manhood and the serious neglect of women was going on in virtually every film he saw until at least the 1980s, and you could argue well beyond that. That is, he says, a kind of tacit advertising — a way of saying, look, this is really a very good way for how the world should be. It is something that has become harder and harder for him to endure as an idea. And he thinks that the war in Iran would not have been as likely if America had had enough women running the country — because women feel and think together in concert in different ways, with more room for compassion, sentiment, and plain rationality. •       Cinema Is Deeply Educational — and We Have Ignored That: Thomson's answer to Andrew's challenge: what does any of this have to do with movies? Everything. You cannot have a mass medium without the mass being affected, without the ways in which they think being shaped. The movies have given us examples of how to live that have been intensely persuasive. They are deeply educational. And yet we have permitted them, and like every technology humans have ever invented, we have let the technology take control of us rather than the other way around. Children spend far more time watching moving imagery than reading — and yet we do not teach them what a cut is, what a camera angle means, how the medium constructs its reality. That neglect has been, Thomson believes, catastrophic. •       Citizen Kane Is the Definitive American Film — Not The Godfather: Andrew's final question: what is the definitive movie about America? Not The Godfather, Thomson says, because the Godfather films cannot overcome their attraction to authority. There is a reverence for dark power in the Godfather films. Whereas in Citizen Kane, there is all through the film a terrible ruefulness about what happens to people who seek power. Welles absolutely understood and was intensely critical of the personality that needed power and authority — and he was afraid of it. For that reason, it is still for Thomson the definitive American film. Thomson has been known to doze off watching it, because he knows it too well. On July 4, he plans to watch something different. Ideally, The Odyssey. About the Guest David Thomson is the author of more than twenty books on film, including A Sudden Flicker of Light: A Revisionist History of the Movies (Simon & Schuster, July 7, 2026), The New Biographical Dictionary of Film (six editions, 1975–2014), Orson Welles, The Big Screen, Have You Seen…?, and biographies of David O. Selznick, Marlon Brando, and Nicole Kidman. Michael Ondaatje has called him “the best writer on film in our time.” He lives in San Francisco, where he is Andrew Keen's neighbour. References: •       A Sudden Flicker of Light: A Revisionist History of the Movies by David Thomson (Simon & Schuster, July 7, 2026). •       Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941) — Thomson's definitive American film; discussed extensively in the conversation. •       The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972) — referenced as ...

When interest rates spiked in 2022, Ryan pivoted his business and became an expert in Assumable Mortgages. Today, he leads a team of six agents across the Colorado Front Range, helping investors and primary home buyers "time travel" to secure interest rates as low as 2% to 3%!

What if the secret to living to 100 without chronic disease isn't a magic pill, a grueling diet, or a hidden gene? This week on In My Heart, host Heather Thompson sits down with National Geographic Explorer, bestselling author, and Blue Zones founder Dan Buettner to completely reverse-engineer how we look at aging, health, and happiness. After analyzing decades of dietary surveys, Dan reveals that the world's longest-lived populations thrive almost exclusively on whole, plant-based foods. But here is the catch: they aren't relying on willpower. In this episode, Dan breaks down the "Power 9" lifestyle habits and explains why true longevity relies on shifting our surroundings rather than forcing restrictive habits. From the "all-star" longevity ingredient sitting in your pantry to the profound impact of your immediate social circle (your "Moai"), you'll learn how to curate an ecosystem where the healthy choice is the mindless choice. Plus, Heather shares her own deeply personal journey of discovering food as medicine to save her son's life, and Dan explains how true happiness and a defined sense of purpose can statistically add up to eight extra years to your life expectancy. Forget the quick fixes and multi-billion dollar processed food propaganda. Tune in to discover the affordable, actionable four-week blueprint from Dan's latest book, The Blue Zones Challenge, and learn how to start thriving right where you are today.

In this episode, Heather welcomes marriage and family therapist, group facilitator, and author Dene Logan to explore relationships through the lens of depth psychology—often called the "psychology of the soul." Drawing from her book Sovereign Love, Dene shares how our partnerships are not random, but rather specific "soul assignments" designed to mirror our unfinished business from childhood and point us toward our destiny. Heather and Dene dive deep into the everyday dynamics of love, discussing why couples so often get caught in the trap of competing for energy or falling into anxious-avoidant polarities. They discuss the profound impact of childhood triggers, the primal defenses that drive relationship conflicts, and how we can bring our "inner adult" into conversations to move from making demands to making requests. They also break down the cultural pressure we place on single partners to be our "everything" and offer a liberating perspective on how relationships can change form with reverence and love. Whether you are looking to heal codependent tendencies, understand your relationship patterns, or reframe the inevitable suffering and trauma of life as a sacred curriculum at "Earth University," this episode offers powerful tools for spiritual awareness, compassion, and ultimate personal liberation.  SPONSOR: COZY EARTH:  For the dads, stepdads, grandpas, and every father figure who shows up — this one's for them.

Jim talks with Lisa Buckingham—a veteran HR leader at Vialto Partners, US Soccer, Lincoln Financial, and Thomson—about how the LLM era is reshaping hiring and job architecture, and how companies and workers can roll with the changes. They discuss: Jim and Lisa's shared history in natural language processing labs thirty years ago—and the contrast with today, where "everybody can be an AI expert" The kind of people to hire in the age of LLMs: intellectual curiosity, learning agility, and willingness to work differently "Trust the machine, but always validate"—the principle of embracing AI while maintaining human oversight COVID as an accelerant of technology adoption Workforce adoption realities at Vialto—evangelists, pessimists, and the change management challenge Shark Tank-style internal AI contests as a model for engaging employees with new tools Why the "future of work" is dead Programmers and product managers merging roles; job architectures flattening into skills-based, fluid inventories AI's historical weight—"as pivotal as electricity"—and the limits of anyone's ability to predict machine learning's trajectory Jim's "what, when" framework and the twin failure modes of AI projects "Test and learn" as the right posture toward AI transformation, and whose responsibility "what, when" actually is—CEO, CTO, and sales as a coalition The productivity multiplier for programmers—7–10x gains—and Jim's argument that demand for software could actually increase total programmer headcount Why sales jobs are probably not highly "AI-able" anytime soon, and what salespeople need to communicate to retain relevance Lisa's personal use of Claude and Copilot 365 The leveling effect of AI for non-STEM people Jim's argument (since November 2022) that top liberal arts graduates are the most natural prompt engineers Lisa's 1999 Georgetown thesis—"Are liberal arts majors the answer to the .com era worker shortage?"—and its uncanny parallel to the 2026 humanities debate The education paradox: how Lisa's son was banned from using AI in class but required to be an AI expert for his summer internship The calculator analogy, and whether AI in education follows the same arc Resistance to the AI voice in writing Jim's technique for capturing stylistic tendencies with AI The rising costs of frictional bureaucracy and the unreasonable effectiveness of small teams What Lisa saw on a recent safari about what AI can't replace, and the choice between evolving and being overtaken Learning agility as the core HR question—how to handle employees who cannot or will not embrace AI The shifting meaning of "owning your work" … and much more.

Episode 171 of the Taproom Podcast: host Mike sits down with Shanleigh Thomson (aka @shan.ferments) for an in-depth conversation about her brewing journey — from agriculture and protein chemistry to Diageo, UC Davis Master Brewers, roles at BSG, Yakima Chief and Roy Farms, and her work teaching brewing programs at Washington State University and UC Davis. The episode covers hop terroir and Terroir Tuesdays, sourcing and supply-chain challenges, fresh‑hop practices, international brewing curiosities (including New Zealand harvests), and the role of education in the craft industry. Shanleigh also shares stories from regional beer scenes, festival life (CBC, World Beer Cup), and how the brewing community supports innovation and resilience. Listeners will hear Shanleigh's beer preferences (West Coast IPAs, dry‑hopped pilsners, ESB), chats about style evolution and naming, practical tips on reading ingredient sourcing, her current curiosities (hangover aids like ZBiotics, low‑ABV yeast developments), and lighthearted segments on travel, guilty pleasures, and situational beers. Key takeaways: the value of transparency in sourcing and malt/hop origins, why community and education matter in craft beer, and a rallying call to support local breweries — plus what to expect from upcoming Taproom episodes and festival appearances.

It's the middle of May and if you're a marathon runner chances are that means one of two things for you:  either entering the final weeks, days, or maybe hours of your race taper or, on the other end of the spectrum, relearning the fundamentals of basic human function after your most recent date with 42.2km. With marathon season peaking we're diving into a topic that's often overlooked but critically important: recovery. And here to share their knowledge on the topic are a couple of guys who happen to know a thing or two about getting the most out of themselves on race day and bouncing back to do it all over again.  This week on The Shakeout Podcast we're joining forces with Rory Linkletter and Jacob Thomson, professional marathoners, coaches, and hosts of the Out & Back Podcast. Fresh off a pair of Personal best performances  (2:09:51 & 2:06:04, respectively) at last month's Boston Marathon, Rory and Jacob are here to share their pro-tips on how to nail the taper, navigate race weekend, crush your goal race, and then get your body ready to go again for the next one. So whether you're wrapping up your build and looking to put the finishing touches on your fitness to get the most out of yourself on race day or have been there, done that and simply want to find out how you can get back to descending staircases like a normal person again, then today's episode is for you.  Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.

In this episode of The Three Inning Fan Show, Britt Ghiroli, Senior Writer for The Athletic, joins Kelley Franco to discuss the state of the Mets under Steve Cohen and David Stearns, roster construction, clubhouse chemistry, Juan Soto's impact, and the pressure of building a contender in New York. Britt also shares her unique insight on the changing role of MLB managers -- in the wake of the Cora and Thomson firings, why some would-be managers might prefer front office jobs in the future, how analytics are reshaping leadership across baseball, and if managers move to front offices, who manages in the dugout.Britt also shares her incredible accomplishments as a competitive powerlifter and of course…what's good to eat while watching the ballgame.*Music by Podington Bear

This week on the TABLE TALK interview podcast, Jeff sat down with Jon Jansen from Fox Sports Philly's The Gambler for a great and in-depth conversation about the current state of Philly's sports scene as they assessed all 4 major pro teams (they left the Union off this one - sorry, not sorry). What should we be making of the Phillies season now that they're WINNING GAMES? We're starting to see more Flyers orange on the streets these days. And what should we make of the Sixers beating the Celtics in the first-round of the playoffs, and the Eagles retooling the offense with Sean Mannion?

This week on "I've Been Meaning to Listen To That", we review NOTHING'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO ME by Mitski with special guests Jorge Chisi and Harper Thomson! Plus, we break down how "Nothing's About To Happen To Me" is a synthesis of "Bury Me At Makeout Creek" and "The Land is Inhospitable And So Are We", how this album acts as a darker B-Side album to "The Land is Inhospitable", how the record is a thoughtful meditation on the nature of sad music, how the album is brave enough to meet the audience at their level, and discuss Lisa Kudrow losing the Emmy two times against Julia Louis-Dreyfus! 0:00 Queening Out w/ Jorge0:24 theme song1:01 preconceived notions on Mitski15:25 the rollout27:28 themes & symbolism35:06 Lisa Kudrow & Julia Louis-Dreyfus44:32 where's my phone50:57 If I Leave54:01 Instead of Here57:19 Rules / Lightning59:38 Cats1:03:14 that white cat1:14:58 final thoughts and ratingsFollow Jorge Chisi on Instagram (grilled_chisi)Follow Harper Thomson on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠@harpingabout⁠⁠⁠)Follow Michael Limentato on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@limentaco⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Follow Andrew Ambrose Lee on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andrewambroselee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Follow Stenley Philippe on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@snapasten⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Follow Stefanie Senior on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠stefmsenior⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Cover Art by Megan Rika Young ( Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@meganrika⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Theme Song by OTNES (Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@mxotnes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Follow us at (@ibmtltt) on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ &⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and email us at ivebeenmeaningtolistentothat@gmail.comPlease leave us a rating or review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Have a good daaay!

SynopsisOn today's date in 1953, at New York's 92nd Street YMCA, the Walden String Quartet tackled the difficult String Quartet No. 1 by American composer Elliott Carter. Carter's Quartet was as densely-packed with ideas as a page from James Joyce — an author the composer cited as an influence. But, writing for the Herald Tribune, composer Virgil Thomson gave the work a glowing review: “The piece is complex of texture, delicious in sound, richly expressive and in every way grand — the audience loved it,” wrote Thomson.That same year Carter's quartet won First Prize in the International String Quartet competition in Belgium — a contest Carter entered almost as an afterthought. “My Quartet No. 1 was written largely for my own satisfaction and grew out of an effort to understand myself,” he said. To escape from the distractions of New York, Carter retreated to the desert near Tucson to write it. No one had commissioned the quartet, and Carter initially feared its complexity would baffle performers and audiences. His next quartet, equally challenging, won a Pulitzer Prize.Complexity would characterize Carter's music for the next 50 years — although the composer himself insisted that fantasy and invention, rather than difficulty for its own sake, had always been his goal.Music Played in Today's ProgramElliott Carter (1908-2012): String Quartet No. 1; The Composers Quartet; Nonesuch 71249

Hey everyone, it's Jack here. I'm still out in the camper van writing a travel book – I'm really excited to share more on this soon. At the same time, we've been producing live events and YouTube videos – so there's been a lot going on. We'll be sharing audio from the live shows soon, as well as recording an old school Panpsycast episode at the end of May. In the meantime, I'm excited to share another conversation I've had for the new YouTube channel with Jonny Thomson on the philosophy of Epicurus. I confront Jonny on my verdict that Epicurus is the worst philosopher ever; and he does a tremendous job of telling me why I'm wrong. It's a great conversation, which i'm excited for you to hear it. So without further ado: here it is! Links Jonny Thomson, The Art of Enough (pre-order now!) Jonny Thomson, Mini Philosophy Philosophy Minis (Instagram) Philosophy Minis (TikTok) Jack Symes, YouTube

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Vinnie Pasquantino’s new espresso machine, how the Phillies’ firing of Rob Thomson compares to Boston’s coaching overhaul and how Thomson’s dismissal both does and doesn’t make sense, Mason Miller’s “slump,” Shohei Ohtani’s WAR distribution, Max Scherzer’s major league last gasp, Travis Bazzana’s debut, and how the Mexican League’s Diablos Rojos have handled high altitude. Then (55:48) they talk to Jason Benetti, TV voice of the Tigers and new lead MLB broadcaster for Sunday Night Baseball on NBC, about how he got his new gig, juggling jobs and employers, teaming up with different broadcast partners (including a besuited John Kruk) every week, how NBC approaches baseball, the AL Central’s mediocrity, Kevin McGonigle’s precocious success, Jason’s full-circle Bob Costas story, and Mr. Monopoly vs. Mr. Peanut.

The Philadelphia Flyers and 76'ers are still alive in the postseason. The Flyers have now advanced to the second-round, and the Sixers beat the Celtics in game 5 up in Boston. While it seems the Sixers are hanging on by a thread, Joel Embiid continues to show his resiliency on the court. This week, Sean Barnard from Fox Sports Philly's The Gambler and Draft Kings joins us for our interview this week to dive into this Sixers team.But first, the guys reacted to the Flyers advancing to the second-round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. (Approx. 2:20)From there, they gave their thoughts on Rob Thomson being fired as manager of the Phillies. (Approx. 8:15)The Eagles had a real nice draft and there's optimism for the future with these new draft picks. (Approx. 18:30)Then the guys unveiled their new PST segment “Love To See It, Hate To See It.” (Approx. 27:55)Then they discussed how the Sixers are still alive in the playoffs and the fact that they could theoretically take out the Celtics and advance. (Approx. 40:00)What they threw down on the Table this week was an in-depth discussion about the Sixers vs. Celtics series. Joel Embiid's resilience has been incredible given his injury challenges. What might a healthy Tyrese Maxey have been able to provide the team? Grading Paul George, V.J. Edgecombe, and Kelly Oubre Jr. All of this and much more this week on the Table!

In 1882, a New York dentist sat down at a typewriter in a darkened room, placed his fingers on the keys, and something else started writing. For fifty weeks, John Ballou Newbrough claimed his hands moved independently of his conscious mind — producing a 900-page cosmological bible that describes the creation of worlds through spinning vortices, maps an elaborate spiritual bureaucracy governing the heavens, tells the story of humanity across 25,000 years, and lays out a physics of the unseen universe that lines up with material channeled a full century later in the Law of One. The book is called Oahspe. Almost nobody has read it.   In this deep dive I crack open this massive text and walk you through what it actually says. Oahspe described electrons fifteen years before J.J. Thomson discovered them. It used the term "the fourth dimension" twenty-three years before Einstein's special relativity. It mapped a lost Pacific continent called Pan forty years before Churchward's Mu books. It named false gods — Looeamong, Kabalactes, Ennochissa — commanding angelic armies in the billions, orchestrating mortal wars and religions across millennia. It contains a mathematical prophecy engine built on 3,000-year cycles that tracks the rise and fall of civilizations. And the density framework, the spiritual hierarchy, the concept of harvest — all of it predates the Ra Material by exactly one hundred years. Ra was asked about Oahspe directly and confirmed portions of it. This is the forgotten bible that predicted the Law of One.  

Tuesday was an emotional day, as the Phillies fired Rob Thomson after four seasons. Sean Kane and Spencer McKercher share their thoughts on the move, dissect comments from Thomson and Dave Dombrowski, and reflect on a 7-0 win over the Giants on Tuesday night.

The Philadelphia Phillies became the second team in the first month of the 2026 season to make a change at the manager position, following the Boston Red Sox making that decision over the weekend. Rob Thomson was relieved of his duties after the Phillies got off to a disappointing 9–19 start to the season, with the hope that a change will be able to jumpstart what has been a sluggish campaign. On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Phillies' decision to fire Topper and name Don Mattingly the interim manager, what the vibe was like at Citizens Bank Park yesterday following the firing and the interesting dynamic now between the manager and GM. They also highlight the rather surprising journey that found Thomson at the helm of the Phillies and what could be next for him. Later, Jake and Jordan discuss the debut of Cleveland Guardians' top prospect Travis Bazzana, the impact he'll have on baseball in Australia and whether the draft class he came out of will be one of the best of all time. The guys close the show by discussing Shohei Ohtani not hitting—at least for now—when he pitches and why this is different from what he was doing when he was with the Los Angeles Angels. 1:07 - The Opener: Phillies fire Thomson 15:12 - What to expect from Mattingly 29:45 - Field Report: Travis Bazzana joins the show 39:40 - 2024 MLB Draft class all-timer 48:29 - Kind of a Big Deal: Ohtani not hitting Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

After another series loss in Atlanta, the Phillies entered their off-day Monday with serious questions about the future of their coaching staff and their manager, Rob Thomson.
