"If you need a resource to look towards, I would point you in that direction. Anyway, their mission is to change this prevailing attitudes. If we accept that the shaming that comes along with a person who lives with obesity is to my understanding, almost like the last refuge of prejudice that we still abide and I think we could do better to change that. So this was a film that can change hearts and minds. From what I could see after we finished it, and I can tell you right now,

"So to create Charlie, it had to be impeccable. And something that when you see him at first, it's a resting. And you go, wait, wait, wait. Is that the guy from Georgia, the jungle? What's he watching on his laptop? It wants that surprise. It goes by. You feel like you know this guy. And you're not distracted by any perceived artifice that comes with a faulty makeup. And just so people know, because there are just as a process question run, you're there every day for how long in the makeup chair as this comes to comes to life. Well, Adrian got there an hour before I did. So he'd be there at three. I'd get there at four. We usually had an 8 30 or 9 o'clock call depending on what we were doing. So it was four hours of the chair. Why am I laughing? And this is because he's a great guy. We became really fast Friends. And watched a lot of YouTube videos. I think her favorite ones were that we Korean Street food. It was exciting things to do with eggs in Korea. Let me tell you. So many eggs. I think people should realize though that in order to not do what has so often been done in movies, which is a kind of demeaning, just quote unquote, fat suit. You guys are in some cases as a term that you'll never hear me say. And I'm not calling you out. The film is about, in many ways, the bias that we hold against those who live with obesity. And the vernacular that we use is still common parlance. I mean, there's terminology that we have retired. There's no place being spoken of. And I think terminology that can lean into the bias against those who live with it actually is harmful to people. I do know that how are we speaking to one another and of one another has a

"Offers no easy answers to the thornier questions. He asks of his audience about the human condition, dares you to look away. Clearly, as you saw, he's a very courageous artistic suna east and I will admit to no small measure of creative intimidation when I met him at first. He was honestly he was a gentleman and he was quite forthright about the task he had to create Charlie. Charlie is a unique character. He's a man whose body weighs hundreds and hundreds of pounds. He is not who he is as he presents his father. He's an educator. He was a husband. He's a man. And he was someone that a character that Darren saw and thought, this is someone who you would easily dismiss or disregard, and for that he wanted to know more about who this man is at home. And we see his world dim two bedroom apartment in anywhere, Idaho. We're Charlie lives. Somehow, inside of the world of this little apartment, he's like a Beacon of light. He's like a lighthouse at sea. And there's a conversation that we had when we first met. Which was the result of just to quickly just document it. He had of all things seen a trailer for your picture called journey to the end of the night, I did with Scott Glenn. Back in 2006. That's right. So I guess there's a quick lesson is you never know what's going to what's going to be the thing that really matters, right? I guess you got to bring your a game all the time because you never know who's going to see what work you do. And hey, that got Darren to pay attention and go, hey, Brendan Fraser is still alive. Get him in here. And again, he was really, he had a challenge in casting this role.

Can you just explain for people who don't know, what exactly happened there? No, I don't know the exact dude. Is that the word? Are they kidding? He was about saving money. The film was Leslie grace was fantastic. I'm sad that this film won't come out because of how terrific she really was in this part. I was there. I saw it. She was really, really good. It's really cool. And it pains me to think that a little girls are going to have to wait a lot longer now before they can see a back earlier they can identify with and say, she looks like me. I want to be her. It was a really empowering story in that way. It really was. Dylan Bilal, who did the bad boy movies, shot it. They're really good at blowing shit up. And they love doing it. They're so good at it. They love practical effects. I personally dislike pyrotechnics. They love them. And my character is called firefly. He's the firefighter. He was a good character. He was, I thought he was really cool. I liked him. He was sympathetic and interesting way. He was a vet who fought in the Gulf War. He helped put out oil derricks that were aflame as Saddam Hussein, this escaped cowardice back to Baghdad. He knew what he was doing with flash bangs and things that go boom. And he got out of the service, his benefits got cut. And he was very angry about that. And he's a bad guy. He's got a screw loose, but what's he going to do, but burn Gotham to the ground? I thought it was a really cool character with some social consciousness. Snuck in there at the same time. So I was all in. And again, and Leslie was just fantastic. I don't know.

"American adventure, slumbers upon a burial site in Egypt and unleashes all sorts of insanity, this was so huge, $416.4 million worldwide. I think you probably reached more people with one movie than everything up to that point. I don't know. Georgia John was pretty big too. But just what drew you to that where it would obviously end up being three films, maybe still to be added to. We'll see. But what was the draw for you there? Steven summers was inspired by films like Jason and the argonauts and the Sinbad movies and pretty much anything their ray harryhausen did and he loved big adventures and swashbuckling and he wrote this incredible screenplay that took the conceit of what we thought the mummy was of some boring old guy going to wrapped up in bandages and he was like, no, no, it's going to be like jaws and terminator monster, mummies. Can't stop him. It's going to be awesome. And we all thought, okay, we had no idea what kind of movie we were making. We didn't know if it was adventure movie, a horror picture, like a romance, straight ahead action picture, all of it, and if you look at the first, if you look at the first film, you can see editorial choices that kind of bleed over into the edges of them. They didn't really know either. So its audience kind of found that movie. And it became an audience champion. So if it worked once, why not come back and do it again? They made the mummy returns. Yes. Now that was 2001, and you have said though, that after that one, this is your phrase, I couldn't get arrested. Why was that? What was going on? You know, Hollywood's a real hot and cold. Really fickle. Place sometimes and honestly, it's like a heat sticking missile. You know, when you're hot, you're on target, if you're not, out of sight out of mind. And I know a thing or two about that. Any actor is going to go through that. The phone's going to stop ringing. You're going to wonder who your agents, where they are. And that's part of the drill. The challenge of deciding if or not you're going to stay in this. And how many just for help me out here? How many filmmakers are we here in the house? Just show hands clapping. So many. Okay, you know what? We're family then. You got to stay in the game. You really do. And persistence and preparation. And maybe a little dumb luck can help. But hang on to hang on to whatever it is that really got you excited about why you want to be a part of this. And you go through the bumps and things pick up and they slow down, but if you love what you do, it doesn't feel like a job anymore. We will note that in between the second and third money phones. That means between 2001 and 2000 8, you were in several wonderful, more arthouse kinds of movies that I want to ask you about. I don't know if this first one I'm going to mention may have been the ball might have been rolling even before. The second mummy, but I know there was a bit of delay because of world events.

"And thank you for joining us for the 481st episode of The Hollywood Reporter's awards chatter podcast. I'm the host Scott feinberg. And for those of you tuning in, we are recording this episode in front of an audience of students at Chapman university where I'm a trustee professor at the Dodge college of film and media arts. My guest today is a widely admired and much beloved actor whose big screen work now spends 30 plus years. The Los Angeles Times once asserted, quote, he exudes a masculine and earnest accessibility. The throwback charm that harkens to an earlier Hollywood era and brings to mind names like Flynn and Gable. While GQ opined, quote, he exudes a kind of solid decency and equanimity that makes the implausible plausible. His presence in a scene makes you believe it. All of this made him into what The Guardian described in 2008 as quote one of the most bankable and audience friendly stars in the industry. Shortly thereafter, though, he began to fade from the public eye. But never from the hearts and minds of filmgoers and filmmakers, many of whom grew up with him and were vocal about how much they missed him and yearned for his return. That, of course, has finally happened in a major way. Via Darren Aronofsky's the whale, for which this actor is now at the age of 54, a critics choice and sag award winner and a Gotham and Bafta Award nominee and is also, for the first time in his career, up for an Academy Award.

"I don't think people thought of Bradley Cooper that way. He's the story of the hangover. It's like funny, but it was like, David Russell saw something fundamental about this guy that had never been put on screen before. Probably Cooper gets so many different Oscar. And this whole new career is born. And I think aronofsky is doing something very interesting with Brendan Fraser, if you know Brendan, he really is a tender guy. He really is a decent guy. He really is a guy who was really trying to connect. And lo and behold, that's what this character is. And that's what they're trying to do. And so I found it very moving in that respect because I know the guy and I was like, oh, he's fascinating how this movie is using the qualities of the man. And they're kind of feeding off each other. So you're right, Sean, I'm a little bit biased in the right word, but I'm sort of close to the situation. And so I sort of watched it looking at him and really enjoying the performance. Yeah, that's all I was going to say. It's also when you see these movies because you're writing a story about someone. You're watching them in a different way. Yeah, it would be great if I called the aronofsky. I was like, hey man, I didn't really like the movie. Can we just talk for a bit? You know? Focus on the performance rather than the yeah, yeah. Yeah, and I also like Sean, I'm a big aronofsky fan. I really like the particular intensity that he brings to films and you know, I think we'll talk about this, but some of the controversy around the whale, it's very interesting because it's like, oh, well, part of it is, is this exploitative or leering, or is it or is it a different movie? Or is it both? And all three are possible. Yeah, in looking at some of the criticism of the film, I certainly had the reaction. I guess you guys are not very familiar with Darren Aronofsky. Because obviously he shows the kind of the grim side of all aspects of his characters lives.

So they're already worried that, you know, listen, I'm not going to make fun of a guy who has a stroke. But the problem is, the guy had a stroke and he's not at this point, and I don't know if he can. If you can't debate your opponent and carry Lake nailed his two in Arizona, debating is your job audition. Your auditioning to the voters to show them that you are capable of doing your job when you go to the U.S. Senate.

When he takes sulfur possession of it, this is a job that you want people to vote for you so that you can represent them and worry about their needs, not game shows or any of this other stuff. So I think fetterman is going to have a tough time tonight. I'm not rooting against him. I hope he does well. But the bottom line is when your campaign is worried, even though they got this whole thing straightened out where he's only going to have one debate, early voting is already underway. And if he fails tonight, the media will still carry water for him.

"To drop a lot of cash on it. The term surprise and delight is something that I heard a ton sitting next to the product team when I was running marketing at a couple of startups. You always want to surprise and delight surprise and delight. And that's actually really hard to do. Give me some examples of companies who are doing a great job of providing that surprise and delight moment. So we work with what I think most people would consider kind of a business standard kind of solution. But this is a company that helps fill temporary worker gigs. So you can think this is kind of like a closed postmate type situation. And they have these people that are in there every day posting jobs for temporary workers to fill, marketing, if they were late, what was the review quality of their worker? These are not necessarily the most exciting actions they're trying to get, right? And they just started saying, hey, we're going to pick a threshold that if someone puts in a certain number of employee reviews in a month, we're going to send them a nice gift card and say thanks for being an awesome administrator. Your company appreciates you. We appreciate you. And it's a really interesting opportunity to take what seems like a rather mundane task, but actually to the business is a really important behavior. They need these actions being done to drive the usage of their solution and same thanks to someone who is probably getting a rather thankless job of marking through the details of arrive, didn't arrive 5 star four star those kind of things. It's interesting from a marketing perspective, we think of the value of kindness of niceness of that surprise and delight moment. And will you said earlier was that, you know, that's what you see in essentially your retention rates. And the way that you can evaluate this, you can run a test. What is the value of being nice to a subset of customers? And see what their churn rate looks like over the next period of time. See what their retention rate is. See if the reorder value increases as well. I think just as a general marketing philosophy and life philosophy, it's kind to be kind. It's nice to be nice. When you think about the use of positive reinforcement, that's more than just saying thank you, but also when somebody exhibits a behavior that you like essentially noticing it, talk to me about a positive reinforcement is as opposed to that surprise. Here's a reward moment. One of the things that's really important that I think we kind of got to touch on first is that today I think a lot of marketing departments are addicted to acquisition. So they're thinking, still think a lot of their jobs sits around that idea of how do I get more people to give us their information sign up. But I think when you actually get positive reinforcement, what we're trying to figure out is what are the key drivers of our business success? What are those things we need people to do? And that maybe one of the things that they're not doing. So we work with one company that has a very maybe it's a bit of a small problem in its theory, but it's amazingly big problem to their company. They do shipping. So this is like a company that helps put stuff in empty trucks going across the country. Now, it's really important to them that people put in the weight of the load they need shipped. So we've got this team that says if we can get the weight of the load in there, that's going to go ahead and help us fill it in the right truck. We got another team that says we don't want to require that because it might have less people put loads into the system and then that could reduce our revenue. So that's a great opportunity. We have this action that most people don't do, but we want to teach them to do. And so we say, great, you go ahead, if you fill in the weight of your load, we're going to go ahead and give you a discount on your next load. And all of a sudden they said to see this action that was kind of whatever action, whenever they do it, they go ahead and they get that reinforcement. And this helps us build that habit loop, where you go, you invest in that action, you're going to get your reward for it, and then the next time you go ahead and make that purchase, you're going to have that idea to trigger back and use that reward. So it's all about looking at what are those details? What are those behaviors we need people to do? And then how do I politely bring them to it instead of enforcing them in kind of a negative way to say you can no longer put shipment on the system unless you give us a weight? You bring me to my next point, which is positive reinforcement always sounds great. But negative reinforcement is actually an effective tool at times as well. Hey, sail is ending. If you don't take advantage now, you're going to miss out, you know, keeping up with the Jones is the fear of loss. Talk to me about basically choosing between positivity and negativity and when is the right time to use which type of message? There is definitely a right time to use both types of messages. I think that the fear uncertainty doubt or the negative reinforcement is a much easier tool for us to use, but it really comes down to that human psychology, right? We are risk adverse in the upside has to be substantially bigger than the risk for us to do it. So when we want to use that negative reinforcement at a time when we really need to push someone to make a decision. So positive reinforcement is going to help us build those habits to keep a set of positive mood, keep us spending, keep us doing those things. But that negative reinforcement, that's the kind of stuff we want to bring out when we have a really important thing we need you to not do. It's a gentle nudge in the right direction. And then it's a shove in the back to get you over the finish line. Right. And we are using both stick and carrot. That is definitely part of the mix. I just think it's easier to go with the stick. And after a while, the horse stops running. So we have to be a little careful that we don't continually go with the sale will end in 30 seconds. I mean, we've probably all been to some website. You show up in an amazingly has this counter that tells you you have 7 hours and 32 minutes. And when you refresh the web page, it's still 7 hours and 32 minutes. So if we're gonna use it, we gotta really use it. Yeah, that's there for a reason it must work on some people. Maybe it's just not us. Last thing I'll say today for somebody who's an engineer posing as a marketer, you sure do know a lot about human psychology and that wraps up this episode of the martech podcast.

And they just kind of miss those finer points. So when you're looking at this as a subscription service, we want to drive people first into a trial. And then we want to drive them into adopting, let's say it's a streaming service right, so we want to get them to watch some content. And then we want to get them to maybe put in their preferences for content recommendations and then maybe invite a friend and that's the kind of path we see just this huge opportunity for these companies that are willing to dig in and really market inside their product. Yeah, so it's more than just sort of a traditional referral program. There's also the notion of rewards, which are essentially customer rewards. You're able to build in incentives for your customers and reward their preferred behaviors. Absolutely. And that's where we see a really succeeding right now. Is in those newer business models, but that maybe haven't spent as much time focusing on selling to their existing customers. So churn is obviously a thing they might think about, but they really haven't invested that same level of sophistication that you might see actually Walmart in physical store. It may have a lot of sophistication in their customer marketing, but we haven't quite seen that same level reach the newer business models. So that's what we're seeing a lot of people having success. And truthfully, we're seeing it across B2B and D2C. The big enterprises are valuing their customers, obviously, just as much, if not more, because you have those larger price tags. You just have to say that we might drive ten new customers this month in a B2B environment where you've got hundred or $50,000 purchases versus in a B2C environment where you might have a $5 purchase, we're going to be trying to drive tens of, if not hundreds of thousands of customers in a month. I think the referral space and rewards in general really interesting. We're going to bring you back tomorrow and talk about some of the ways that you can use the right messaging to impact your marketing when it comes to rewards and referrals.

Warner Brothers' 'Bean Counters' Scrap Batgirl
"Warner Brothers scrapped batgirl and the Scooby-Doo movie Scoob!. Holiday haunt. Which, I don't know who the hell's gonna see that movie outside of your young kids, but this cancellation by Warner Brothers, these were made for HBO Max streaming movies and they were both scrapped. And that came as a shock to the town. Then there are several schools of thought here, but this move announced to a big rejection of WarnerMedia's strategy to make original $70 million live action and animated films directly for HBO Max. So the makers of batgirl, live action batgirl, and the animated Scoob!, they found out the other day that those films were being stopped in their tracks, the timing is really weird and awkward for batgirl that directors ideal are being Bilal fala, both in Morocco for one of their weddings. How's that for a wedding gift? Your movie's not gonna be aired with scrapping, it's done. Forget all the work that you did the last year and a half. And they are expected to return to the cutting room and continue to work on this film, but no, so them Leslie grace the star, J. K. Simmons, Brandon Fraser, and Michael Keaton as Batman, all that work down the tubes. They got paid, but still. Initially, there were cries that the scrapping of batgirl was bad optics because the title role is played by a Latina. Doesn't look that when you scrap a movie with a Latina in the lead. But there were reasons for the move and in both cases the filmmakers would tell that it came down to a purchasing accounting maneuver available to Warner Brothers discovery because the company had changed hands and also changed strategies from the previous regime. This always happens. It's a pain in the ass. I hate when creativity is killed off by the bean counters upstairs.

"So I think with the Uighurs, phrase would understand that the principle concern a Beijing. It's not about ethnicity or religion. It is principally about peripheral security as a real estate would see that the problem Beijing has is there worried about Islamic radical radicalization of Islamic Uighurs. Through the porous borders and so on. So I think what he would probably do would be obviously he'd be making representations to Beijing because I'd like us today he would have maintained open conversations with Beijing. And you could say, well, Beijing shattered down, but there are steps that led to Beijing shutting it down. That wouldn't have happened. I don't think I'm the phrase, but he would have been looking to find coalitions. First of all, that could establish what is really going on. And secondly, they could put pressure. Those coalitions should, given the Islamic composition of the Uyghur population, involve Islamic states, but they have been very solid to date. And I think he would have looked to Indonesia as a principal partner in that coalition building. What about China's crackdown on the pro democracy protesters in Hong Kong? Yeah, yeah. And I think he would probably take the view that it was an issue between London and Beijing. That when London ceded a sovereignty over Hong Kong in July 1997, Hong Kong became an integral part of Chinese sovereign territory, just like Tasmania for argument's sake is for Australia. He would have urged caution restraint, he would have worn China that bad behavior is likely to produce the consequences you're trying to avoid. But I don't think he would have been willingly going along in some Westminster coalition of anglophone countries to condemn Beijing for basically maintaining the territorial integrity of China. Okay, finally, Taiwan Fraser was a senior minister in Bill McMahon's government when Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger saw in the Shanghai communique about 50 years ago strategic ambiguity if you like, what would fry inside about Taiwan today? Well, I think phrase would you continuation of the status quo, as you said, strategic ambiguity. He most definitely wouldn't have been writing any sort of blank check that Australia would support military would be involved militarily if there was a conflict between China and the United States over Taiwan. As it is has always been and as it should be today, our position on that question, a very important question, is that would depend on the circumstances in which conflict occurred between China and Taiwan or China made a unilateral move to somehow absorb Taiwan. So it would be a continuation of strategic ambiguity, but I think he would be giving the United States a very clear message and I think that's important as a good friend of the United States that there will be circumstances in which we may be there, but there will also be circumstances in which we won't be there. And the United States should not assume anything about Australia's future behavior. Jeff is always great to have you on between the lines. Thank you, Tom. Great to be here. As Jeff raby, former Australian ambassador to China, he's the author of China's grand strategy and Australia's future in a new global order that's published by Melbourne university press.

"And I'm glad we have a chance to talk about it now. He had a clear vision that Australia's future was in the East Asian region. Tokyo isn't so surprising because the UK only three years earlier had joined the European common market, which meant that overnight we lost our export markets. I mean, the action of the UK in some ways was far more dramatic than anything China has done to us in recent years but the economy coercion. So we had a very serious economic challenge. And Fraser Fraser actually had the vision that Japan could be a significant market for Australia, which of course it became. And that also his courage needs to be seen in the context of the older generation of Australians at the time. We're still getting over their animosity towards Japan. Arising from the Second World War. So we often forget the context in which these things were done and it was a very courageous move by Fraser. But it made a lot of sense. That's Japan. But why? Yeah. Exactly. And in those days, for diplomats and so on, China was just a boutique interest. And it was still in the culture revolution. And it was inward looking fearful frightened. Isolated. And Fraser went there with a vision that China would be a significant player in the region, and we wouldn't have a stable prosperous region that was secured for Australia and as China was brought into the region as a serious actor. And in a sense, he had great foresight. Yes, and when Mao Zedong died, I think later that year in 76, under phrases, leadership, the parliament stood for a moment so a minute silence in honor of mount Zhong, there were four labor and coalition backbenchers who opposed the initiative, but it obviously meant a lot to Fraser..

He set the Frank Sinatra directly all your life you wanted to be a big man, but the wrong kind of big man, you're a sad case, Frankie, I think you're the best male vocalist that ever lived, but I also think you're a miserable failure as a human being.

I mean, we really work at this and we work to try and get as far as one can humanly into the person and the personality and the suffering and the joys of the person that we're studying. And this was a guy who we ended up liking in spite of and that's a very big in spite of in spite of his involvement with the mob, I think you must ask her, but I think my course of Robin as a woman liked him as a person in spite of his pretty savage treatment of many of the women that he knew and the women that we interviewed and we were lucky enough to talk to now that he's gone. He's been gone almost exactly 7 years to talk to a number of the women that he knew for significant periods of his life. And almost to a woman they spoke of him in spite of the way he'd sometimes treated them. He spoke of they spoke of him with lasting affection. This is a guy who had something very, very positive and yet could be a really unpleasant person.

Nursing homes and healthcare workers are top priority for Covid vaccines
"Workers and nursing home residents expected to be first in line to get the Fizer bank seen enough for the general public not expected until spring, so public health officials are urging Americans to continue wearing masks. And keep their social distance from others. The federal Indian Health Service says it's allocation of the first expected Corona virus vaccines will be enough to cover 100% of its healthcare workforce. NPR's Kirk Siegler reports. Native Americans have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. The I just says it expects to distribute 22,000 doses of the first Fizer vaccine and 46,000 of Madonnas. Rear Admiral Francis Fraser says As the vaccine supply increases, tribes will then be able to prioritize distributions for elders and others with health conditions. They put them at greater risk of serious illness or death from Covina. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that safe and effective vaccines can reach Indian country. As quickly and equitably as possible. Native Americans have long suffered from healthcare inequities, and during the pandemic, they've been four times as likely to wind up hospitalized. Kirk Siegler. NPR NEWS President Trump attacked the Supreme Court in a Syriza of Friday night tweets complaining about the court's rejection of a Texas lawsuit aimed at overturning Joe Biden's election victory.

He said the Supreme Court quote really let us down. No wisdom, no courage. Trump had called the lawsuit filed by Texas against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the big one that would end with the Supreme Court undoing Biden substantial Electoral college majority. But the court said Texas does not have the legal standing under the constitution to soup. For the past five weeks, federal and state courts rejected nearly all of Trump's attempts at overturning the election court. Electoral College meets Monday to formally elect Biden.
