Seriously, What's Up With Brazil? Paulo Figueiredo Filho Explains
"There is a tremendous amount of confusion. Regarding Brazil, Brazil is a great country and it's very, very, let's just say murky with what is happening. In the great country of Brazil. And with us now, as someone to help us hopefully get some clarity on this, he's a Brazilian journalist at JP news. It's Paulo, Faye rito. Hope I said that right, Paolo. Welcome to the program. Thank you, Charlie. You did it perfect. That's my last name. Thank you. Hard to get it right since the beginning. All right, well, I tried my best. So Paul, I have many questions here. And thank you for the time. First, let's just start with the most obvious what the heck is going on right now in Brazil. Oh my God. That's the longest question. So much going on. So Brazil has been under the administration of president Bolsonaro, which is a great friend of president Trump, he is considered a Trump of Latin America, very conservative, more towards a national populist view of the world. A friend of the common man come and worker. And Brazil has been doing great. We're going to have for the first time in my life we're going to have more growth than China this year and less inflation than the U.S., which I know, not the greatest year for China or the U.S., but still going to accomplishment. The country is doing very well during the reforms and all that. It went through the pandemic fairly well, all things considered. And so last Sunday, we had elections and between Bolsonaro, the current president and Lula. Lula is a socialist from the Workers Party. He was, he's been in power from 2003. He was in power from 2003 to 2000 14. And in two 1012, I'm sorry. And in 2015, his successor, a lady, was impeached for defrauding public accounts. He was also convicted three times for corruption. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court deemed all his trials invalid. And by the Supreme Court, I mean, justice appointed by him when he was present. So he got away with it.

"So right at the top of the house, this is the fashion room. This is the room where my sister is based and this is where all the pattern cutting happens and it's where the start of the fashion collections form their life up here. And so it's always a mess. It's the messiest studio, but I love it for that. There's always bits of fabric on the floor and bins full of extra fabric that we're working on, experimentation of painting onto fabric, patterns everywhere. It's definitely the kind of the room where it's most active and lively, I think. I avoid a label I avoid being pigeonholed, so, you know, whether I'm called an artist or a designer, fashion designer, you know, these are just for me, they're just slightly unwanted badges, but at the same time, I really recognize and embrace trade and craftsmanship. When I started the fashion collection, so we have the photographer jacket or the doorman, the acrobat trousers or the baker's trousers, the draftsman shirt. They all have their own trade names, and they all have a passport inside. Listing that trade, but also all the initials of the people involved in making it. Although I can't barely labels, I kind of also acknowledge them and embrace. Trade. Artisan manufacturing. By doing that for the clothing, it sort of made me have a reason to make a garment. You know, okay, if we're going to make a jacket, we'll why, who needs this jacket and what do they need it for? Well, the photographer needs giant pockets, so let's give them giant pockets and they need to be able to move around a lot so the back has to be really, really square and not all tailored in like a normal tailored jacket. So those sorts of things have given us a reason for making that garment. And we have these trades, and we need to look after them. We have things here up in the studio that are not just fashion based. And I think that's one of the things that I'm excited about this studio is that there's a great cross discipline going on between the floors, so whether you trained and fashionable, whether you're trained in furniture design, the idea is that in this studio that you can, you can work in both rooms and that actually has valid to have a furniture designer working on something for fashion, et cetera. So yeah, you will always find bits of other materials that may look like they belong to furniture but actually they are coming into the fashion room because we will be inspired by the gloss on them or the raw edge or something about a particular material that we can then try and translate into a fashion garment. Tinker is the way that I used to describe myself. It's one that I feel comfortable with because a tinker essentially is a master of nothing but light tinkering with everything and that probably is the best word I can use to describe what I do. You know, I don't claim to be the ultimate fashion designer or superb craftsman or you know it's not really about that. I have found the equivalent of my shed and this is the red church street and I like tinkering in it and if people are interested and find it relevant and want to buy it or connect with it in some way, that's great for me. Faye too good there speaking from her London studio. Her new book, drawing, material, sculpture, landscape, is published by fired on and available at all good bookstores now.

"Finally, on the show, we visit another studio, but this time in the east end of London. Founded in 2008, two good is a contemporary British brand that encompasses interior design, homeware, fine art, and fashion. At the helm, and refusing to be constrained by a single discipline, or define way of working, is Faye too good. Known for her sculptural approach to furniture, we met the founder at the house of two good to learn more about her making process. In here, this is the main space downstairs. This is the space that we just play around with the most. So sometimes it will be complete chaos in here and we're painting garments, making hand painted coats or we're creating a collage or we're making a final artwork or a model of a chair out of clay or something, you know, it's definitely the room for play. Lots of people ask me about the process of working in the studio and how it works with all the people involved in the studio. And I think when I set it up, I was interested in finding other people that didn't want to be pigeonholed or that may have trained as an architect, but it was interested in fashion or someone that trained in fashion design but actually was really interested in industrial design. It's that cross disciplining that's always been interesting to me. A project will come in and we'll all get around the table and we'll workshop it together. We will find a way of making it work and we will question it and we'll look at it from all angles. And for me, it makes the design process. Potentially more rigorous, it makes it more fun. It just means that none of us really get bored because we're always working on something completely different. The kitchen is, we put together just really simply when we moved in, it's just a little sink made of some stone and marble that I found in a junk shop. And it's just provided the perfect centerpiece for our kitchen. Up on the walls again, we have a really long shelf filled with sculptures and maquettes. Things over the years that have been made, some of them have been transformed into pieces of furniture, artwork, and others have never made it into fruition for me, it's really nice to keep these things. A sculptor has always been at the essence of who I am. You know, it's when I studied fine art, I was working in more in sculpture in 3D than in 2D. And it's something that I return to constantly. It's sort of the way I know how to communicate and it's the way that I know how to create something that feels uniquely to it, or unique to the studio. Form, shape, geometry, sculpture, these are all words that mean exactly the same thing. And have quite literally tried to create my own a to Z of form and shape. I had twins 5 years ago. And after that, I just locked myself away in the studio with some of the guys here and we created endless and I mean hundreds of sculptures that are now all archived in boxes. And those sculptures are coming out now to be made in stone or in wood or recreated in bronze or they're sort of provided a new geometry for me. Whether it's the button on a coat that's made of something made of ceramic, or whether it's in a huge sculpture for a museum, it's that play with shape and it's I guess it's the questioning why does that shape have to be that way? Why does a chair have to be shaped in a certain way? We have endless coats and we have endless chairs. We don't need anything new in the world, particularly. But if I'm going to try and contribute to it, it needs to have its own shape and its own being its own sculpture.

Definitely look leaf directly in the eye and say, I really, that meant when I apologized to you. Like, you didn't deserve it. I need to not react. Out of anger as much as I do. It's something I need to learn and I do trust you with. I apologize.

Caller Faye and Mike Discuss Cancel Culture
"Faye is in Atlanta. How are you? I'll sign my how are you? Good thanks. Appreciate the call. Well, Mike, I love you and I have to call the disagree with you on something. Okay. Okay. I really cringe every time you make the statement, what they do it, if they were black. And the facts are, Mike, you know, they would do it. I'm a black conservative. I worked 8 years for a very prominent Republican congressman from Georgia. And people are trying to cancel me. Look at Dave Chappelle. What he's saying, they cancel Larry elder, and is not because they were black, but because of our political beliefs, values, but say it's important for people though to frame it in a way that everyone can understand that being canceled for your views for your beliefs for your skin color for the way you part your hair to use the bank executives example when he called Mike lindell. All of that is wrong, Faye. That's wrong. Yeah, of course. Of course, it's all wrong, Mike, but your statement is, would they do it if he was black? Yes. Yeah, but they wouldn't do it because they wouldn't say as a black man, we're not comfortable with your skin color, so we need to cancel you. That wouldn't happen in 2022. Where they wouldn't say it because it's illegal. But they said it to Mike lindell, we think your views will hurt our reputation. Right. So that's what I'm saying, Mike. Well, we're just I don't know what you're disagreeing with me about. Because when you say what they do because he's black, what that sets up in people's mind is, they're discriminating against somebody white, but they won't discriminate against somebody because they are black. When you see, well, you don't disagree. You just don't like the way I'm phrasing it. I think Faye with all due respect, we're green because again, if a black American got canceled for being black, the outrage would be justifiably significant. When a conservative against canceled for being conservative, yeah, he had it coming. Oh, well, and that to me, I think it's very, very clear. I appreciate the call. I don't think we really disagree. And I'm sorry, I'm going to continue to say in the Mike lindell story, wait till it happens to you,

"Hello, welcome to part two of my lovely chat with lovely lovely Chan lovely fay. If you haven't heard part one, go get it in the feed. Before we listen to this, here we go. When I was reading the book, I think one of the things I really felt was it had the quality of something that had been around forever like it felt like this book could always existed. It was so remarkable what you were saying and how you were saying it. And I know a lot of people have said that there's something as a quality about it that is incredibly accessible and you feel like you're learning loads, but also I feel like I'm in a conversation with you. But one of the things I took away from it was, do you ever sit back and go, what a fucking time to be alive that you know I think it's important to recheck that you really should not be being treated like this and there should never be any normalizing of that. You know, that you have to write an argument for justice, you know. And what does that feel like? Do you have a sense of that? Or do you allow yourself to have a sense of that? I don't always allow myself to, I think, I think I am to quote a calm space because I've realized before anger has never really served me that well, and that's just a personal observation. I mean, yeah, it shouldn't be. The only time that I really noticed it was when I read the audiobook, because I read my own audiobook and you do it in three days, like a 9 to 5 in a studio with an hour for lunch. And obviously, I'd read the book so because the book is, you know, you read the final form of the book, so it was just about a month before the book was published. And I'd read the book several hundred times, I felt like, because obviously you go through so many proofreading stages, copy editing, et cetera. So I was very, very familiar with the text..

My brother did, but I did not. You have some members of your band with you today. How long have you been playing with these guys? Pistol and I am a pedal super we've been playing together for 7 years now. That's kind of how I started. I feel like I was playing music and then I added him to the band and then from there on for the rest of the time, it's just like, who wants to play with me? Let's be in our band. How'd you guys meet? I knew I wanted pedal steel because it's just what I grew up with stick to. And every time I said, hey, can you help me find a puddle so players like 30 people said the same person? There's nobody else. Like this is the player that you need. That's cool. What you have a hard time finding like a bass player, like a drummer, you know? But it's a high bar to find a pedal steel plant. Yeah. We're really gonna do this if I found someone. But it's like you just have to like wait and really find the people that just like have the chemistry and get you and I don't have to explain shit. Like you know what I mean? Just people that help me represent what I'm trying to get across. Do you always play in studio and live like with the same crew? We always record everything live. That's great. And then I go home and redo vocals. My kitchen. That's so funny. What is it about like a band that helps you write? I think it's more just like I have this song and I've written the song and it's like how can I make the best representation of me in this song? If other people are going to hear it, like I truly want it to be the best representation it could be. So what's the process that who would you go to first? But once you have it. I don't show anybody until we're in the studio. I don't even like share it with our engineer. Just 'cause I don't want people plotting on it. Be like, oh, this part. So good to play something right here. And I feel like that kind of just like ruined not ruins it, but I feel like in the moment is when it's more like, oh, I just played that and it sounded good. So let's just do that again. Right. And record it this time, please. So you want people coming up with their parts on the spot, not too. You can see, oh, I could do this. That's interesting. It doesn't happen a lot anymore. Yeah. Which is, I feel like from the other side of it, like if it wasn't my song and somebody made me come to the studio and record on demand, I would be freaked out. But yeah, it's nice to be the only one that knows. What's about to happen? Going from the self title to Atlanta millionaires club, what was the jump there? How did you go from those songs in that place to putting it out through awful and then go into Atlanta millionaire's club? I don't know. I feel like it was just like a natural evolution. And it's not even that different of a record. I feel like throughout my three main records, there's always a song from the latter record that could have been on the earlier one, but not the one too before it, otherwise it would have just been like this weird out of place song for two quick of evolution. I feel like, but I don't know. I feel like it was just like the right time and place. I met secretly Canadian, who I love, and they just feel like family to me at this point. And I just had more songs. And then I was like, I guess it's time to get out of the record. And I feel like that's kind of when I noticed that it wasn't just like family listening to my stuff. Right. Like I feel like that's when I kind of got put on the radar. It was truly the perfect time and perfect place in my life. You were saying how there's like always a song like that wouldn't fit like a couple of albums ago but probably within the last but I feel like and there's also I mean your arms are like super, very and there's always a song that feels like it's just a complete outlier. Just in general, you know? Like a land a millionaire club like flowers feels like a very you know and there's a couple even like Kingston sounds a little different than some of the others. Exactly. And it's like that could have been on my self title, but if it was on run and tell then it would have been like, what? Yeah. Like who just hopped on the sticks? And then like on this new one too, cheers. Even overslept sounds kind of different from the rest of the record. Yeah. Could have been on AMC. Like on those songs that are kind of outliers, do you look to make a song that's very different from the rest of the album? Or is it just happen? It really just happens because I mean, when I'm writing these songs at home by myself, they're all pretty fucking similar. They sound like they come out like it was your random son of a car at home. It's just me being quiet as fuck trying to write a song. And then it's like there's no way that my shitty cheers demo from my kitchen table sounds like what sheer sounds like. But it's just like when it was time to all sit together and say room and play it. It was like, oh, this is how it has to sound or this is going to be weird. Was it always as loud as it was? I don't remember. I should go find the demo, but I write songs on acoustic guitar at home. So it's not like I'm like rocking out. But then once you took it to the band though, was it like right away, did it? It really was. Really? Yeah. Damn. I feel like that song specifically. People were scrambling because I started playing it. It was just like, oh, it should definitely sound this way, but I don't own any cool shit. So I was just like, people were pulling pedals out of closets and stuff 'cause I was like, why my guitar is just like, I just plug straight into my amp all the time. But yeah, just like ended up like that. New tears during the pandemic. Oh, here it is. It's called used to be called cheers to each other. And I was like, that's a horrible name. This.

Because i i was blown away by the is tammy faye i breach out to you right away because i the second that i saw it i was crying for twenty minutes straight after watching it and then i said who made this happen and of course had to talk to you about the transformation that you were so important to. I wanted to talk to you about how you came to the project i. I'm wondering let's talk about tammy faye first and then we'll talk about you How did you find yourself on this piece with the michael showalter as the director so i was actually contacted by friend and mentor greg. Canham who's a multi academy award winning makeup artist. greg somewhat retired now for the most part you know so he came to me he had been offered the job he couldn't do it at least not all of it but he wanted to be involved and he wanted to know if i wanted to be involved in this sort of really heavy character-driven show not necessarily big budget movie by any means and You know just a huge challenge So we gotta shut down. We had a good chat. And i remembered you know tammy faye When i was a kid acquires star on tv all the time when grown up in the eighties. My family was definitely interested in televangelists. At the time. So i thought i have a lot of memories of of tammy faye in all of that drama. That sort of happened during that time as well so after a conversation and reading the script. i was. I was very interested. I it was definitely a hard challenge. You know to I didn't know where just going to go with. Tammy yet okay. So you knew he came to you with the project. Knowing that jessica was going to be playing tammy yeah so just. She owns the property. She's been involved developing it for over ten years. Wow and She had kind of started down another avenue. I think early on in development and then the show fell apart at that time and got postponed so when it came back around she had already had a life cast on. She already kind of knew she wanted to do. Prosthetics originally kazuhiro. Cg was going to do. The makeup and a causey was no longer available for the show. So it came to greg and myself To decide if we wanted to make it happen Which we both did. I mean we knew it was a huge challenge. It was it was a challenge that i was willing to take on and and he was willing to take on at the time..

I i mean like i said if nothing else performances really great but what do you got for your next piece. Sure of this is kind of a combination of films. Basically stephen king Or films like from the eighty s and the many kind of Knockoffs that that were created based on one his style. I remember growing up seeing a lot of them and often they would. They would feature a minister or preacher. Who was either this you know. Traveling evangelists were Small town preacher. Who often is just plainly interested in in you know power. Her wealth influence Going back to that brief little conversation. We we see in the in the film between andrew garfield and and vincent donna frio about You know trying to one up each other. On how big of a reach they add. Sure and i think. Certainly when i when i was growing up watching a lot of these horror films having grown up in a pentecostal christian poem and environment when i saw these films Often they would have these small town preachers in the same sort of setting and it it felt to me. You know as a kid. Like this was almost an attack on mike. What i know and who i my family who i grew up with sure. And we actually see at the beginning of this film. tammy faye child and this kind of Super pentecostal environment Which which hearkens back. I think to a lot of these kind of horror films that that featured is solid shady Pastors and ministers. Some of them were just incompetent. Somewhere more you know clearly viciously evil. Sure you know think about Films like needful things children in the corn And a lot of them had small small bit parts a senior to you know the preacher would have but i think what those films were doing was was speaking metaphorically about kind of the dark underbelly Of a lot of You know this Traveling evangelists and Often often christian of faith which you know this film takes a look at. It's not so much a horror film right unless you l. Existential angst is horror. Which i think it can be or yeah and i i could. I could imagine that must be you know. Come 'cause i'm completely a non religious person and i was you know brought up jewish and like i can just imagine like seeing those kinds of characters in of in that is such like you know those kinds of characters have such power over the the people who believe in them so for that to be the place to find that horror must must be kind of a powerful thing i would imagine. Yeah definitely and that's something we don't see a whole lot in this film But but there are definitely a few like montage. Bits and scenes where we see jabeen and And tammy faye Broadcasting and Easy there's one shot of you know this row of phone banks and for a time they really did have a lot of influence over. You know people whether it was you know as we were talking about before more entertaining. They still had that influence you know and they still choate in tons of money from from people who you know are honestly being taken advantage of the elderly in or You know people who who wanted some sort of whole been an think that they're you know contributing b. m. and you know there there's of course the question you know. Did they do some good things right. You know the film makes a point to feature Tammy faye interviewing a homosexual man who who had gotten aids which was a huge deal of sure absolutely -servative christian and in the eighties. It was that was very much against the grain. See you know nothing's ever really black and white. Exactly you know those. Those kind of films were definitely moving and asking questions that were counter. The conservative religious culture You know. And i think to this film continues to do that in in a different genre And by looking at you know a real life event and story But i think it it picks up on some of those those threads sure absolutely well for my next piece. I'm gonna go with one so this this actually could've went well with your citizen kane piece but this is a little bit of a cheap because i actually did see an interview where michael shaw kind of mentioned this one But i'm gonna use it anyway Is paul thomas anderson's boogie. You know this really is a story about somebody you know coming up a particular you know aspect of the world of entertainment and getting everything. They thought they wanted and all of that. Success kind of destroying them basically. And you know it's a very similar character arc To what happens a boogie nights and again like you talked about with citizen kane Just you know the total rocket to the top of your particular industry and still being unfulfilled and of course all of that success being the thing that brings you break back down So yeah Boogie nights is my next piece. Which is you know. I find that comes up quite a bit on this show because it it. Is you know. Paul thomas anderson in general is such an influential filmmaker of the last thirty years..

Come 'cause i'm completely a non religious person and i was you know brought up jewish and like i can just imagine like seeing those kinds of characters in of in that is such like you know those kinds of characters have such power over the the people who believe in them so for that to be the place to find that horror must must be kind of a powerful thing i would imagine. Yeah definitely and that's something we don't see a whole lot in this film But but there are definitely a few like montage. Bits and scenes where we see jabeen and And tammy faye Broadcasting and Easy there's one shot of you know this row of phone banks you know and for a time they really did have a lot of influence over you know people whether it was you know as we were talking about before more entertaining they still had that influence you know and they still choate in tons of money from from people who you know are honestly being taken advantage of the elderly in or You know people who who wanted some sort of whole been an think that they're you know contributing b. m. and you know there there is of course the question you know. Did they do some good things right. You know the film makes a point to feature Tammy faye interviewing a homosexual man who who had gotten aids which was a huge deal of sure absolutely -servative christian and in the eighties. It was that was very much against the grain. See you know nothing's ever really black and white. Exactly you know those. Those kind of think horror films were definitely moving and asking questions that were counter the conservative religious culture You know and i think to this film continues to do that in in a different genre And by looking at you know a real life event and story But i think it it picks up on some of those those threads sure absolutely well for my next piece. I'm gonna go with one so this this actually could've went well with your citizen kane piece but this is a little bit of a cheap because i actually did see an interview where michael shaw kind of mentioned this one But i'm gonna use it anyway Is paul thomas anderson's boogie. You know this really is a story about somebody you know coming up a particular you know aspect of the world of entertainment and getting everything. They thought they wanted and all of that. Success kind of destroying them basically. And you know it's a very similar character arc To what happens a boogie nights and again like you talked about with citizen kane Just you know the total rocket to the top of your particular industry and still being unfulfilled and of course all of that success being the thing that brings you break back down So yeah Boogie nights is my next piece. Which is you know. I find that comes up quite a bit on this show because it it. Is you know. Paul thomas anderson in general is such an influential filmmaker of the last thirty years..

Yeah i am very happy to have you back on the show and of course you know just last month. We had a couple of winners from your film festival on the show which was a cool episode. That was like a first time kind of thing and that that all worked out well and You know that that movie. The empty man is a movie that seems to continue to Be a part of the conversation. Even months and months and months later people are still talking about the still see pop up on twitter and one line from it people just as else still. Hopefully they Check out our old episodes but today this is a much different movie from from the mt man. We're going to talk about with the. Is it dami fe first thing before we start getting into some puzzle. Pieces was this big heavily. Awaited movie for you. That's a bit of a complicated question. Actually yes and no I grew up in a household. My parents watched jim. And tammy faye's programmed. Pto club religiously every day it was like literally religiously or religiously as a lot. Yes actually the first real vacation. I remember when i was maybe four or five years old Was going to their Theme park that they had bill. Wow i believe it was in north carolina. Don't remember a whole lot. I remember going. I remember my parents being super excited about it having a christian beating park To go to and vacation at so. I grew up very familiar with You know the real. Jim and tammy faye at least from their public personas on on television. Sure so yeah i. I was kind of interested in seeing what what the filmmakers would do in in telling their story It's not usually the type of bill might gravitates you normally but Yeah it was. It was a very interesting watch. Yeah i wasn't sure going into this. Because you know i. I love michael showalter who directed this and mostly for very off the wall. Wacky comedy stuff like wet hot american summer the state and some of the stuff that he was involved with over the years so i really wasn't sure the tone was going to be here going into if it was going to be just a total farce. Just you know completely making fun of these characters these people or if it was going to kind of you know try to tell their story but with some humor added into it or or where exactly it was going to go so that was definitely a question. I had going into testing which Which turns out mostly. I think you know we'll get into this as we're going through pieces and what we thought of the movie but I think mostly it's a performance show pieces. What i think is what we ended up. Ultimately i agree. Jessica chastain is amazing. I think in. And i think andrew garfield actually did really bang-up job to yeah absolutely and i. I really like him a lot. He has been in some really interesting rolls over the last couple of years and Yeah i mean jessica chastain is like that's the standout for sure but i think he's great in this as well but you know we will. We will lay on the praise to those two along the way through the conversation Let's start getting into some puzzle. Pieces here what do you have your first piece. My first piece. And i realized when i was writing out my notes for this i think i actually put them in basically chronological order. So i'm going all the way back to citizen gate okay. I i'm not sure how directly influenced the film other them. You know it's it's been a building block for hundreds of thousands of films over the years. just A pillar at now of of hollywood But there was You know a couple of things. The the story being told of of someone who had rated This giant empire and ultimately is left kind of unfulfilled. At the end i think is is similar in tone At and there was also especially in one scene in the baker's home At all is about two thirds of the way through the film Some of the camera angles chew walter. Used reminded me of Camera angles that orson welles and used and Citizen kane is that slayton tilting It just makes you feel like things are a little off You know in this enormous mansion. you know. The the the baker's had they were living in you know absolutely beautiful but just telling the camera a little bit gives you that Feeling of unease shore that that sense even though everything is so like seemingly perfect did huge and beautiful that it. But it's off. Kill exactly exactly so that really just popped out to me. I should be better about Talking about some of the mechanics of filmmaking like camera angles and whatnot But it's. It's not something i i. I usually focus on story more Especially when i'm.

Jerry falwell both of whom played roles in the baker's rise and fall jim and tammy faye seemed the most benign if you could apply that word to any peddler of rigid religious ideologies.

Nine baker was sentenced to forty five years in prison for fraud. This movie is directed by michael showalter. Who made the very good two. Seventeen rom com. The big sick. The eyes of tammy faye came up a couple of weeks ago. During our fall movie preview. You have seen the movie and as i alluded to. We lived through the eighties. The bakers were inescapable in popular culture. At seem does the movie convinced that there is more there was more to jim. Tammy faye than we remember or what we saw in parodies from the time i mean it had to for me because my only point of reference was jan hooks portraying. Tammy faye bakker. On saturday night. Live visiting the church lady. I think phil hartmann was was jim baker. Actually so i didn't really know much beyond that of the story. I mean would have been a little kid at that time. And so yeah this was interesting to get some of the background info a lot of it drawn from the two thousand or two thousand two documentary of the same name. The eyes of tammy faye haven't seen that one. But from what. I understand both at end this i can attest to very much rehabilitation projects. You know to to say that there was more and of course there was more to to this woman than what we saw on saturday night. Live or in news. Reports jessica chastain as tammy faye is going to make you believe that no matter what. She is the powerhouse force in this film. The reason why i liked it. I think overall as a movie. It's it's a little strange. It's both really obvious like hitting its themes and points very underlying them like she on like her makeup his underlying. You know but at the same time it's also kind of thinly developed. There are things we wish. It explored further or more deeply. So the material isn't great. Here but chastain is tammy faye does something. It's curious adam you you know. I've talked about this. How this is the sort of performance that i normally would bristle at where it's it's it's really big. It's an actor going through a physical transformation. It's geared for oscar attention right but but why it works here is because that all lines up from what i understand of the real life. Tammy faye bakker this. This is someone who had a peppy. Cheerful bright public presents the entire movie. Adopts that and chastain does to. This is almost like you're you're experiencing this movie. What it would have been like to live through the fame and the failure of this ministry through her is how she would have seen it and how she sees herself. So it's really a galvanizing performance. I couldn't help but admire at the end. I even started thinking that it it kind of reminded me of. We've been going through a various sort of loose joan crawford marathon at home. Maybe you know movie every month or so here with the family and it did remind me of the ways crawford could kind of just takeover a film that dared caster and a lot of times. These were films about women who were at their wit's ends or or facing societal expectations that they wanted to upend and so it was interesting to see chastain. Do something similar here just grabbing this movie by the throat giving it a fierceness that kind of aligned with what you understand tammy faye bakker might have had underneath all that niceness that she presented so so. I think it's definitely worth seeing for chest pains performance which i think is probably what intrigued both of us about the project to begin with. I hope to catch up with it soon. The of tammy faye opens wide this weekend next week on film spotting we kick off our twenty twenty one who've review last year. It was christopher nolan. This year we consider the entire filmography of new zealand director. Jane campion with a series devoted to all eight of her feature films including her latest the power of the dog which comes theaters late november and then to net flicks in december. So that was really the impetus besides for me wanting to catch up with these films. Most of them blind spots for me. It seemed to set us up well to consider her new film which has gotten all sorts of acclaim coming out of various film festivals including benedict. Cumberbatch is performance. Our first campion will be sweetie from nineteen thousand nine which is one of those blind spot for me. I know it's not a blind spot for you. It's made a least one or two top five louis over the years including i recall top-five female directed debuts. I think you had it at number five. So you must think sweetie is a pretty good start absolutely. I think i probably went on a bit of a campion kick after the piano. I'm trying to remember when i would have. I seen it. It definitely would not have been in eighty nine. So that's probably when. I first saw it but cannot wait to revisit it. As part of this who've view sweetie is currently available. I love the way you say that. On the criterion channel and available for digital rental more information about the campion oeuvre view is film spotting dot net slash campion. Also next week we prepare ourselves. Vialli some fun josh. We prepare ourselves for the end of the daniel. Craig bond era by revisiting. His first outing as 007. Two thousand six's casino royale for its fifteenth anniversary. You telling me you don't consider the card counter fun. i'm saying. It's a little more grueling. Josh just just a little tougher sit. Maybe then casino royale. This also helps prepare us for daniel craig's fifth and final bond. No time to die coming out here in a couple of weeks. I've already done my homework. I was inspired to rewatch casino. Royale for the first time since two thousand six when it was reviewed here on the show by our recent film spotting family bonus content. Discussion of sean. Connery's second feature as bonn from russia with love. And i even then followed it up with quantum of solace which i now think. I was too hard on back when that came out. I'm all in on craig as bond you are and i've mentioned i just don't know how you could argue. There's a better bond at least a better bond than the one we get in two thousand six casino royale so i look forward to watching it again here in preparation for this discussion will see what you think of it. I mean i know you haven't revisited. Timothy dalton or pierce brosnan so. I don't know how you can be so presumptuous. Such claim craig bob until you do that homework. Adam yeah yeah. You got me there josh. That brings us to our latest deeply. Flawed film spotting pull. That is trademark. Don't worry it's registered. We couldn't help ourselves with daniel. Craig going into bond retirement. We had to join the cacophony of voices posing this question. Who should be the next bond now. Before we share the options we provided a few things. We consider him by we. I mean mostly our producer. Sam i think he spent about three days on this full question so tortured. Poor sam was so tortured and yet and yet for all the thinking that went into it he still got hit with all the accusations of who overlooked all the mistakes he made. That just comes with the territory. Sim sim knew that when he took the job that he would be in peril. Not unlike bond himself. So i we did go with all brits. It just seemed. It seemed like a bridge too far to me. Josh to be throwing an american into the mix as james bond call me. Call me a purist. Nobody wants that no. We did also try to keep age in mind. We're not going to see another bond movie for what three or four years. Most first-time bonds have been in their early. mid thirties. connery was thirty. Three craig was thirty. Eight roger moore sixty seven. I think the joke goes. We did however include a couple of actors in their early to mid forties so again flaws abound a name. We left off our list. Someone long disgust as perfect bond. Material interests elba. He turns fifty this year. No yeah we decided to old. Wow good for idris. Elba a just here on film spotting would james come after it's a beat our atlas. Yeah well you know that he will and that he certainly could so there were a lot. More considerations will jump ahead here to the options we gave you the idris elba less options we gave you for. Who should be the next bond josh. Those options are -rism ed..

Chicago school district cancels some in-person classes as labor dispute flares
"Person. Classes were canceled again today for chicago. Public school students who were attending in person. This as the battle over school reopening is being fought between the district. The teachers union prekindergarten and special education cluster. Students were given the option to come back to the classroom earlier. this month. looming over the standoff is the threat of another teacher strike as the two parties are over. Covert nineteen vaccination plans cleaning protocols and even which data in science should guide the reopening process. About an hour ago. I spoke with mayor lori. Lightfoot and schools chief janice jackson. I began by asking dr jackson. How close is the district to a deal with the teachers union. And what are the major sticking points right. Now as i've said this week we are trying our best to make progress. I think there's no reason why we can't have a deal in cr students back in the classroom on monday. I know so. Many students and parents have expressed our excited. They are about that opportunity. So that's what we're planning for a with regards to the union. I think some of the sticking points that we've been talking about or the past few weeks related to testy vaccination and accommodation still are outstanding on. But we're going to continue to work car because we know what's at stake in. That is making sure our kids get a quality education mayor or jackson at what point does either or one of you arrive at the bargaining table to close the deal. Well i think we've got to make more progress grants. I think it's important for your listeners. To know that since june we've met with the t to now over seventy times. It lasts two weeks every day including saturday and sunday. The schedule time is from eleven to five every day and we would have expected by now to make a lot more progress in the last week alone. We've given them to different on comprehensive plans one plan which we updated and we've given them. I think that covers every single issue. Eight different issues from ventilation testing to plans and protocols what happens if there is a a positive tested linked to schools. So we're serious and we're going to be made it table but we've got to see some progress it. We've got to see a series of purpose on the other side. For example today we got a proposal from the other side. Include things like defunding. The police and having the cpu dictate housing policy in the city. Now obviously neither of those things is appropriate for bargaining on teachers contract. So we need them to get serious to come to the table. We can get a deal done. I am confident that we can. We keep waiting and hoping that we're actually going to have some issues that we agree on the issues that we've been talking about now for weeks. We still don't have agreement on a single one of those issues and every other bargaining experience. I've been in both as mayor but also in my private sector life. You focus on an issue you resolve it and then you move onto the next issues. We haven't been able to do that with you. Which frankly to that by since there is no deal you know. Kindergarten through eighth grade did have the option of returning starting this monday. Do have the option Starting this monday to be back in the classroom but even a large group of aldermen have called on pushing that date back a week. Dr jackson is that something you'd consider to avert a strike and get a deal done in the interim. Yeah as i stated earlier this week we remain steadfast in the fact that schools should re-open for students on monday february first. So we're still there. We're committed to that date. I think that the district has gone above and beyond from a planning perspective as well as all of the planning that has been happening for local school level. We have proven let us not forget. School has been in session with ask three weeks with students in our cluster program in students in our pre k. program in we have been successful. We plan for various scenarios we to implement our plans with fidelity. We know that we can do that for our kindergarten. Eighth grade students nets. Will we intend to do starting this monday. Even if i can add brandis. Let's let's also know that we're we're talking about this in the context of case rates dropping acitivity rates dropping. All of the metrics that we follow. We've been following since march of last year or all trend in the right direction and to those automated said. Let's kick the can down the road and get more time seventy times that we've met multiple times over the last two weeks we can get a deal done on a purpose and putting our kids i at the table and they have that faye mayor's was just going to add. That said you know this was calling for teachers to be vaccinated more teachers to be vaccinated before a reopening. Why not what. What could happen if you just wait for that. We have a. We have a comprehensive plan for getting teachers vaccine which we've had on the table for quite some time. Obviously gotta do it in the context of the reality of the limited supply of vaccinations at all the other. Frontline workers who've actually been outlawed in the grocery store worker sanitation librarians. I mean the list goes on and on absolutely we want to prioritize. I'm teachers and we have a plan to do that but we need to get a deal done. We need some movement in

Ted Danson Is the Mayor of Los Angeles in New TV Show
"Mr mayor is new. Show from rubber karla faye and features a lot of fantastic people and the featuring of a lot of fantastic people is reason to watch it. It's ted danson as the new mayor of los angeles and this is just another one where we're timing is so bad really You know if you are in los angeles you are well aware of what having a somewhat. Bumbling somewhat ineffectual mayor or even having let's just say a mayor whose track record is mixed. Let's just say that. Let's say. Garcetti did some things that the beginning of the pandemic that seemed to be good and then not so much lately. That's an it is it. I'm trying to be tempered. We've definitely had a lot of evidence of what happens in a major city if the mayor is not perfect and so i found myself really kind of unable to laugh at a show where it's like. Ha ha ha. The mayor of los angeles is job is to go to mall. Openings and celery appearances your results on that one may vary as los angelino or at least a los angelino transplant. I also kind of got the feeling that tina fey and rubber karloff. Not so much with the knowing. Anything about los angeles and twenty twenty. The jokes are all really really lazy. Really really facile jokes about california. That in some cases are are two decades old our colleague. Ingo king reviewed it for us and she notes that one of the funniest jokes involves the other candidates who run for mayor against ten danson's character and you stop and realize that the joke that's being made about the other candidates including gary coleman's ghost and a libertarian. Porn star all relate to a recall election. That was fifteen years ago. I mean that is just not finger on the pulse and so all of these things if the show were funnier. It'd be funnier but let's not forget that. Mr mayor was originally conceived as thirty rock spin off that was going to be set in new york featuring alec baldwin reprising his role and baldwin was negotiating for the better part of a year per sources and when he backed out producers went out to ted danson. Ted danson lives in los angeles and did not want to relocate to new york so they moved the show to los an- to being set in los angeles and removed any traces of of its ties to thirty rock. So there's that in the back of your mind

Reid Hoffman and Fei-Fei Li on Human-Centered AI
"I'm Llewellyn for the Wall Street Journal and I have a guest co host today are artificial intelligence report jared council hey jared. Thanks for having me. Okay. So last week, Lincoln founder Reid Hoffman and the computer scientists faith Lee or part of a session at our Tech Live Conference, and we sat down with them for a conversation as a special episode of Tech News Briefing we'll get to their conversation but I want to tell you a little more about what you're about to hear dared verse things first who are Reid Hoffman and fairly so reid. Hoffman was one of the CO founders of Lincoln which he sold to Microsoft in two thousand sixteen. And he's now a partner at the venture capital firm gray lock. He's been involved with a number of Tech Company boards, including Microsoft, and AIRBNB. Our other guests doctor Faye Faye Lee is a professor of computer science at Stanford University. She's widely considered one of the leading experts in a I. Computer. Vision. She used to be the chief scientist of machine learning in. Google and the to work together at Stanford's Institute for Human Centered Artificial Intelligence. Dr Lee is one of the CO directors air and Mr, Hoffman is a member of its advisory council. Okay. Got It. So Hofmann and Lee were at tech live to talk about human centered ai you guys will get into what that means in the interview but I wonder if you could just give a little background information as our artificial intelligence reporter, why is it such a hot topic of conversation right now? Yeah. Hey, I is a is a hot topic because it's becoming ingrained in a just so many aspects of our lives from predicting next next word or phrase in an email to recommending products on Amazon or songs on spotify. Those kind of innocuous aspects but also more high stakes decisions like what kinds of sentences. A person may serve or what kinds of jobs opportunities they may have access to so. Has Benefit Society but there's also a lot of a lot of risk know one of the biggest ones has to do with bias. There's been studies out there that that show that facial recognition systems for instance are better at detecting white male faces than they are at detecting women and people of Color, and so you know when you have a technology that is really infiltrating our world, there's going to be a lot of attention paid to it. Especially, some of the the issues that come with it and for read and Faye. Faye, with they're trying to do is really elevate somebody ethical issues and concerns and try to get as many stakeholders as possible whether it's businesses or governments to think hard about an of course developers to think hard about what they're creating in in how they're designing.

F9 to be released online due to coronavirus
"With this is John horn of course host of the frame on KPCC honorary vice president of the one eight movie club John the best night isn't the only movie that was scheduled for release is now is having a perhaps a very different release than was imagined by filmmakers what is going on with movies how are they making the decision whether to delay a release or to go ahead in unconventional means I think the easiest answer is it depends I mean I think a lot of studios have taken their big budget movies and move them out of the summer season so right now in theory you have been watching F. nine the latest fast and furious movie was supposed to open may twenty second it's now coming out in April of twenty twenty one Black Widow a Marvel movie was going to open may first it's now November seventh so the bigger movies mostly are postponing their releases there are some films where they are taking them straight to video on demand or streaming platforms it's what universal did with its trolls war world tour movie and what it's doing in a couple of weeks with Judd Apatow's film I king of Staten Island and then there's some movies like Hamilton which Disney was supposed to release next year theatrically that they're gonna put on their streaming service Disney plus pretty soon most of the big movies though are gonna wait because there's only a handful of theaters that are open now if you can't play a movie in every theater around the country that it doesn't make any sense that said Christopher Nolan's film tenant is supposed to come out July seventeenth in theaters and the live action version of Mulan is supposed to come out July twenty fourth still feels iffy to me but that's the plan that Warner brothers and Disney have for those two films and right now they're sticking to it so one of those movies that is gonna be streaming is vast of night as I'm in and it's playing at drive ins but it's gonna be streaming on demand on Amazon prime on Friday and joining us is the director Andrew Patterson from his home in Oklahoma high and you're welcome to wanting Hey good to be on the show I wonder how it feels for you to be releasing a movie at this moment in time unexpected you know we'd made the movie a few years back and felt like it was you know we didn't even know if for when we were gonna get a distribution deal and then it lands right in the middle of the pandemic we were scheduled for may fifteenth and so we have it a little bit and and actually went out nationwide in drive ins first and and people came out and had good experiences from what we can tell I mean I got to say the movie is uniquely suited for a drive and did you go watch it from your car yeah we did we what's that in the at Montclair mission tiki opening night and day you know unique experience at least to get to see a movie that has a lot of outdoor scenes and and in the sky plays a big part of the movie and and you have had lights flashing through parking lots in the movie and it kind of felt three dimensional away because of those extra elements sort of surrounding you at the drive in I'm gonna be super careful because I do not want to be the person explains this for anyone else but can you what can you tell us about this movie without spoiling anything yeah I mean when you work on a movie and and and marketed and publicize it you learn ways around maybe hoping not to tip the hat too much but yeah you know it's it's set in New Mexico in the nineteen fifties and and just those two elements a lone people sort of draw a line between them and and make some conclusions immediately in our film follow the switchboard operator who sixteen female name Faye and a radio DJ named Everitt who's eighteen nineteen twenty and they sort of start to hear some things through the radio and the switchboard that sound like they're not of at least local in in origin and then they decide to a curious and start to chase it down John this film is getting a lot of attention I wonder why would you say that is an again John no spoilers but what why are people so excited about this movie well it's really good I think that's the obvious reason it is a tremendously impressive first feature it is so well made so well acted really it's just a perfect little movie but I think one of the things that's odd about a film like this and it's feels a little kind of heartless to say it it actually is benefiting from the crown of virus because none of those big movies are coming out nobody is going to see the light latest Marvel movie or a lot latest fast and furious film so movies like this that are coming out on different platforms like streaming they're not having their release date how old have a real opportunity because there's not a lot of new content that people can find and here you have a film that would be maybe it would really face some challenges if it were real released theatrically as originally planned in mid may because it's going up against all of these giant movies and now it has kind of a little silo of no competition because there's nothing really playing in theaters and there's nothing that new or big or great that's debuting on streaming platforms so I think it's the in some odd way it's almost the perfect combination of a really good movie coming out when they're not a lot of really good movies
