On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched the (rightfully) forgotten thriller The Jackal, a loose adaptation of The Day of the Jackal directed by Michael Caton-Jones and starring Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Sidney Poitier and Diane Venora.In The Jackal, Willis plays the titular assassin, a feared hitman who has been hired by Russian mobsters to assassinate the director of the FBI, in retaliation for American activity in Russia. As the Jackal makes his arrangements, FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston (Poitier) and Russian Police Major Valentina Koslova (Venora) scour their sources for leads in a search that leads to imprisoned IRA sniper Declan Mulqueen (Gere). Mulqueen knows the Jackal and will help the FBI find him — if he gets his freedom in return. What follows is a chase across the world, as Carter, Koslova and Mulqueen race to stop the Jackal, whose ultimate target is the First Lady of the United States.The tagline for The Jackal was “How do you stop an assassin who has no identity?”You can find The Jackal to rent or purchase on Apple TV or Amazon Prime.Episodes come out roughly every two weeks, so we'll see you then with an episode on Tomorrow Never Dies, the second entry in Pierce Brosnan's run as James Bond.Over on Patreon, we have an episode on the first Mobile Suit Gundam compliation film.

You can be the friendliest advisor in the world, but if a customer thinks their car will be ready in two hours and it takes six… you're the bad guy. In this episode of Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki, we're diving into one of the biggest customer killers in the service lane: unclear expectations. With most dealerships using XTime, it's time to master the features that turn it from a “fancy calendar” into a credibility booster. You'll learn how to: Use XTime to set timelines, pickup windows, and updates that customers trust Eliminate surprises (because surprises in service = stress) Leverage transparency to build credibility and reduce complaints Give customers an action plan and communication plan before they leave the counter Flip complaints into compliments by following through on promises Bottom line: clarity beats surprises. If you want to keep customers loyal and CSI scores high, you've got to be a professional expectation setter Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki Podcast |

In this episode: Relaxation in the Present Moment MeditationThis mindfulness exercise invites you to leave everything behind for a moment and revel in the profound simplicity of the here and now.Our daily lives are filled with tasks, plans, concerns, obligations to family and work, and so much more. The list goes on.Nonetheless, we have the option to let go of all that has transpired and all that is yet to happen, and merely immerse ourselves in the infinite moment of now, even if it's just for one breath.That's the essence of this meditation practice. It's an opportunity to relax in the uncomplicated act of being conscious of nothing more than this incoming breath and this exiting breath, just as they are, instant by instant, breath by breath.I hope you enjoy this meditation.PS: Introducing the…

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck delves into the recent developments surrounding Donald Trump, beginning with his confrontational rhetoric against adversaries and the implications of his actions over the past week, which some argue could have driven impeachment efforts. He explores notable incidents such as Tom Homan's controversial cash exchange and highlights the fundamental challenges to our constitutional principles. The discussion also covers Trump's use of legal charges like mortgage fraud to target enemies, as well as his aggressive, and possibly legally unfounded, attacks on Venezuelan drug boats. He analyzes how such actions may have numbed the public to attacks and assess whether Trump's political standing is now eroding amidst these controversiesThen, journalist and historian Caleb Gayle joins to discuss his new book which highlights the power of untold history and the forgotten story of Edward McCabe—known by some as “Black Moses.” Gayle traces McCabe's ambitious but ultimately failed dream of building a “Black state” in Oklahoma, a vision that drew freedmen west during Reconstruction and briefly united Black settlers and Native Americans. From McCabe's hard-nosed political maneuvering to the competing interests that saw Oklahoma as a battleground for power, Gayle paints a picture of ambition, resistance, and the forces that shaped the region.The conversation also explores how Oklahoma's history—from the possibility of a Black state to the devastating Tulsa massacre—has been distorted or stripped down in traditional teaching. Gayle explains the deep tensions between northern Black elites and freed southern Blacks, the lingering influence of Jim Crow, and the ways Native tribes wielded wealth and power. Looking ahead, he reflects on how today's political climate shapes the writing of history, why context matters more than ever, and what stories he hopes to bring to light in the next decade.Finally, Chuck answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment”Got injured in an accident?

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched Paul Verhoeven's 1997 science-fiction action thriller Starship Troopers, starring Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyers, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Michael Ironside and Clancy Brown. An adaptation of Robert Heinlein's 1959 novel of the same title, Verhoeven's film takes a satirical pass on the material, turning a fascistic coming-of-age tale into an unusual piece of meta-propaganda.Starship Troopers takes place in a future, fascist society, where democracy and universal suffrage have been overthrown, and a military government leads humanity, with full citizenship reserved for those who serve in the armed services. Casper Van Dien plays Johnny Rico, an eager young recruit in the Mobile Infantry, who is sent to the frontlines of a war against the Arachnids, a supposedly hostile race of alien insectoids. The film tells the story of Rico's training, his experience in battle, and his eventual rise to command. It is the kind of triumphant narrative that the fascist government of the story would want to broadcast to a skeptical citizenry, which gets to what this movie is trying to do as a film. We talk about this and more, so tune in!You can find a video version of this episode at Jamelle's YouTube page.Episodes come out roughly every two weeks, so join us then with an episode on The Jackal, a basically forgotten thriller starring Richard Gere and Bruce Willis.Over at the Patreon, we discussed The Baader-Meinhof Complex.

Ever feel like your life should feel amazing, but inside... you're just stuck? You've got the job, the family, the “success”—but confidence is shaky, motivation is MIA, and the truth is you're scared you're wasting your potential. In this episode, I respond to a listener email from “Jim,” a man with a beautiful life on the outside and a gnawing feeling of being lost on the inside. If you've ever said: “I don't know where to start,” or “I feel like I'm this close to something real but can't seem to move”—this one is for you. I walk you through the six principles I've personally used (and coached others through) to reconnect with clarity, rebuild trust with yourself, and actually start living the life you know you're meant for. No fluff. No hacks. Just truth, ownership, and a roadmap back to your power. WANT TO FEEL MORE CLARITY, CONFIDENCE AND PURPOSE? Get the "Having It A.L.L.

In this episode: Envision your ideal future in vivid detail.Thanks for joining me for today's guided meditation. We're going to explore something exciting—visualizing the life of our dreams.The foundation of this practice is simple: being present and mindful without judging our thoughts. Through mindfulness, we can fully experience the present moment rather than becoming entangled in past regrets or future anxieties.Once we settle into a relaxed state, we'll create a mental image of our ideal life. We'll make this visualization come alive by imagining the sensory details—what we see, hear, and feel in this dream life.Then, when we're deeply immersed in that visualization, I have a special surprise waiting for us.PS: Introducing the…

Complacency is the slow death of leadership. When we tolerate “good enough,” we quietly set the ceiling for our team's potential—and our own. When you say “good enough” is acceptable, you erode excellence. You send the message that mediocrity is tolerated, and that message ripples across culture, morale, and results. People disengage. Teams plateau. Opportunities slip away. As Jim Collins reminds us: “Good is the enemy of great.” And Gallup's research backs it up: only about 2 in 10 employees strongly agree that their performance is managed in a way that motivates them to do outstanding work. That's what happens when leaders accept mediocrity instead of inspiring excellence. The good news is that raising the bar doesn't mean driving people to exhaustion. Excellence isn't about perfection; it's about clarity, ownership, and progress. As Brené Brown says, “Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind.” When leaders clearly define expectations, celebrate growth, and model accountability, teams rise to meet higher standards. And it starts with us. We can't expect our people to reject complacency if we're coasting ourselves. Abraham Lincoln put it simply: “Whatever you are, be a good one.” Holding ourselves accountable to higher standards inspires trust, builds credibility, and makes excellence contagious. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I introduce a tool I call the Ownership Audit, a quarterly practice designed to identify and eliminate complacency within yourself, your team, and your organization. I'll walk you through how to use it to ask the hard questions, check for alignment with your mission and values, and take courageous action when “good enough” has crept in. Because the truth is, mediocrity doesn't just cost culture, it costs money. McKinsey research shows that companies with high-performance cultures are 3.7 times more likely to be top financial performers. Steve Jobs once said, “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.” As leaders, we must become that yardstick. We must model what it looks like to expect and deliver excellence, not perfection, but the commitment to always do better. Mic Drop Moments • “Complacency is the slow death of leadership.” • “When leaders tolerate ‘good enough,' they set the ceiling for their team's potential.” • “Mediocrity doesn't just cost culture; it costs money.” • “Excellence isn't perfection; it's clarity and ownership.” • “If you tolerate average, you'll never unlock extraordinary.” Key Takeaways 1. Tolerating “good enough” erodes both culture and results. 2. Complacency spreads like a virus; leaders set the bar. 3. Raising standards is about clarity and compassion, not perfection. 4. The Ownership Audit helps leaders spot and eliminate mediocrity. 5. Holding yourself accountable to higher standards inspires trust, energizes your team, and keeps complacency from creeping in.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: Again, this big win for Harvard is on page A19, as opposed to page A1, which is where in June, the Times ran, “Harvard is said to be open to spending up to $500 million to resolve Trump dispute.” And where in July, the Times ran, “Behind closed doors, Harvard officials debate a risky truce with Trump.” Surely New York Times standards editor Patrick Healy is already preparing his explanation of how Times editors and reporters so badly misjudged the state of play in the Harvard case.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit one of their most memorable past discussions: “Unpacking ‘Psychopaths' Scenarios and Tough Coding Challenges.” That earlier conversation explored the “opposite of the happy path”—those frustrating moments where unclear requirements, unrealistic expectations, or hidden bugs make coding feel nearly impossible. Now, with the help of AI prompts and fresh anecdotes, the hosts take a lighthearted but practical look at how developers can survive tough coding challenges and even grow stronger through them. Revisiting Past Tough Coding Challenges The original “psychopath” metaphor described the bizarre, unpredictable situations developers encounter—like half-baked requirements or strange user paths no one expected. In this revisit, Rob and Michael highlight how tough coding challenges remain timeless. Unclear specs still lead to messy solutions and wasted effort. Requirements written on napkins, “urgent” tickets with no prioritization, or unrealistic interview questions all qualify as classic tough coding challenges that force developers to adapt. Common Tough Coding Challenges Developers Face The hosts share a humorous “starter pack” of scenarios every developer will recognize: Legacy code packed with seven levels of nested if statements. Interview questions that ask you to “write a compiler on a whiteboard.” A vague spec that says only: “Make it user-friendly.” A “small change” that balloons into a complete rewrite. Though exaggerated, these challenges highlight a real issue: projects succeed when expectations are realistic and communication is consistent. Developer War Stories Rob and Michael also revisit their personal developer war stories: The Semicolon Bug – Days lost to a missing character when linters weren't in place. The “Everything is Urgent” Boss – Prioritization chaos that left the team paralyzed. Merge Conflicts – Overwritten code when developers skipped repositories and unit tests. Teams that ignore coding standards and repositories will keep reliving the same tough coding challenges.c Coping Strategies for Tough Coding Challenges Surviving the madness takes both discipline and humor. The hosts share practical coping strategies, such as: Rubber Duck Debugging – Explaining the problem out loud often sparks insights. Snacks and Caffeine – Reward yourself for solving a challenge. Take Breaks – Walking away can reveal solutions faster than brute force coding. Michael also warns against the “ship it and patch later” mentality, pointing to unstable game launches and OS rollouts as cautionary tales. How Tough Coding Challenges Build Superpowers The conversation closes on a positive note: tough coding challenges don't just test developers, they strengthen them. Debugging Ninjas spot subtle errors instantly. Documentation Detectives can decipher legacy systems with ease. Interview Survivors gain confidence from handling curveball puzzles. Michael encourages developers to document their solutions and share them with the community. Not only does this help others, but it also creates a reference point for your future self when the same challenge reappears. Final Takeaway Revisiting the original “Psychopaths” episode with a fresh perspective shows that while technology evolves, tough coding challenges never go away. What changes is how developers respond. With clear requirements, strong processes, and healthy coping strategies, chaos can be transformed into growth—and even a little humor along the way.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched Red Corner, a 1997 legal thriller directed by Jon Avnet and starring Richard Gere, Bai Ling, Bradley Whitford and Peter Donat.In Red Corner, Richard Gere plays Jack Moore,, an American businessman who becomes entangled in nightmarish legal ordeal after he spends the evening with a Chinese fashion model and wakes up the next morning to find that she has been brutally murdered.Jack insists that he's innocent, but learns that the Chinese legal system is very different than what he's used to in the United States. He is denied access to an American lawyer, interrogated without counsel, and pressured to sign a confession rather than defend himself. His state-assigned advocate, Shen Yuelin, assumes that Jack is guilty. But as she investigates the case, and grows closer to her client, she starts to doubt her conclusions. Gradually convinced of Jack's innocence, she uncovers signs of a larger conspiracy involving high-ranking officials and powerful business interests. As political and legal pressures mount, Jack and Shen race against time to try to expose the truth, navigating a perilous maze of corruption and authoritarian control.You can find Red Corner to rent or stream on Amazon and Apple TV.For our next episode, we will cover Paul Verhoeven's adaptation of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers.
