Woz Happening!!!!
A highlight from Petite Maman (French), (Drama/Fantasy) Movie Review
"What's world? happening It's Kira and Ben back again. This week we did a super episode last week and this week we are going to be doing a much shorter film. We are covering the 2001 Petit Maman by Selene Sakama. It is an incredible film. This was my first time watching it for the podcast. It has been on my radar because I was a fan of her first film Portrait of a Lady on Fire and I'm very excited to talk about her, to talk about this movie. Ben, tell me about your history with it. So these all come in from our followers and they give us these great movies to watch. They say, you know, you would really enjoy these movies. So I made the list and you were like, oh I know this one, I want to watch this one. So I went off your say and I was very pleased. Very pleased. I will say this movie is very accessible. It clocks in at an hour and 12 minutes. So it is wildly short. I think if the movie was any longer, I don't know how good it would be. I feel like everything that needed to be done was very encapsulating. It was a good, complete, concise story and I was overall very happy with it. Ben, what are your thoughts? Yeah, it makes you really think about your relationship with your parents and what you truly know about them. Like their history, them being children. What did they like to do? What emotions did they have? What feelings did they have growing up? And it made me sit back and go, hey, I really didn't know crap about my parents. I just knew that they were good workers, they loved me, but I didn't know the in -depth detail of their lives. And I totally agree with that and that's why I love how this story is told. I think when we are children, we don't know anything about our parents and as we grow up, I think they start to unfold themselves to us. But I love it. So I'm going to kind of briefly talk about what the movie is and then we'll get more into it. So the story follows a small girl, Nellie. She is eight years old and her maternal grandmother has just passed away and they were very close. And then so now they're cleaning out the grandmother's house and her mom Marion's childhood home. And obviously, Marion is struggling with the death of her mother and she leaves abruptly in the night without saying goodbye to Nellie. And so then Nellie goes out to play in the And there she comes across a young girl and the young girl has the same name as her mother and as they walk through the woods during a rainstorm back to this mystery young girl's house, it is actually the house that her, it is her grandmother's house and this is her mother when she is eight years old. And in this home, her grandma is still alive in her young age. And I think it's really sweet because I think there's a lot of really tender moments between the two. And of course, when Nellie figures out that it is her mother, there is that panic. She flees, she runs away, but she cannot stay away and she keeps going back. And I think there is a moment at the end when Marion as the eight -year -old drives away and Nellie goes back to her house. And when she's back, Marion, who is now her mother's age and the mother that she knows is there and they share this really sweet moment together. And I think, so I think they both were experiencing it. I don't think it was a one -sided kind of hallucination on Nellie's side. I think this is a little bit more surreal where both people did experience what we saw and it was really touching. So I think there are two conversations that stood out the biggest to me. One is when they're having the sleepover and they're talking about how she was like, oh, I don't know if you wanted me. That scene was devastating because it turns out that Marion had all these dreams of being an actress and wanting to do all this, things that Nellie never knew about. And she could not because she got pregnant at a very young age. But even as a child, Marion is like, no, I'm dreaming about you. I want you. You've never stopped anything in my life. And I think that was so beautiful and so powerful. And then the second one, the second conversation is kind of a continuation of that when they're saying goodbye. And both of those moments really resonated and stuck with me. Ben, what do you think? Oh yeah, a hundred percent. There was a lot of parts of the movie where you could see like the bond between the mother and the daughter is so strong. Even as a child, she's like, you know, I've always wanted you. And, you know, it's like reassuring the daughter because the daughter is kind of messed up when the mother leaves. Oh yeah. So she's kind of confused. She's like, you know, does she leave because she doesn't want to be with me or, you know, and then she's second guessing things. And at the end when she says the mother's name and the mother says her name back, you could tell, like, it wasn't a one sided situation that they both experienced that bond through time. Yes. And I thought, I thought that moment was so sweet. And I, and I thought it was really important because it showed that like, they're going to, and I believe in my heart that they're going to move forward and have this very special relationship now because they understand each other both on a different level. I think too, as parents, I'm not, I'm not a parent. So this is just all speculation on my point, but I think once you become a parent, you still try to preserve your child's innocence and you try to protect them from a lot of things in the world. And I think when you, when like, when I'm speaking like this, like when the mom regresses back down to being a child, they're viewing everything kind of the same and like, they're both being silly together. Like we see at the dinner table scene when the soup is gross, so they keep like spitting it back in. And a moment that really touched me when they're celebrating Marion's birthday is that she asks them to sing the birthday song twice because she doesn't want that moment to end. And I thought that was really beautiful because she knows, like, she has to go get this operation so she doesn't die, so she doesn't have the same illness as her mom does. And it is an unexplained illness, but we do see the mom walking with a stick. And so I don't know what it could be. Ben, what were your thoughts? I had no idea what she had. Some kind of maybe bone. Yes, and like degenerative. Or something, some kind of situation where she, her bones were fragile. I don't know. I'm not a doctor, nor do I pretend to be. But it was kind of moving that, you know, you find out this happened right before her birthday. Yeah. So, and then it was going to be her birthday in the present and that's when she disappeared. So, like, I felt like maybe it was a birthday wish. Yeah, that she could go back to her mom. Yeah. Or, you know, like to experience this time together with her daughter. And like, I don't know. I don't know. They don't really get into that part of the aspect of the movie, but it is a very heart -wrenching movie if you watch it because like it shows the bond of the daughter with the mother from the grandmother to the mother to the mother to the child. And even with the father, because the father's left, you know, to pick, finish pick up the house. And you kind of get this weird feeling, at least I got this weird feeling that there was a fear of like a divorce or something. So you felt like maybe she was leaving the husband. And I was like, oh, what's going on? Because she asked him, she's like, do you remember my foot? And he's like, no, I don't remember your foot. And she kind of like gives him this look like, like I wasn't important enough for you to remember these things. And then the daughter says it later too. She goes, isn't that you don't remember? Is it that you don't listen? Yeah. So, and then you kind of find out that he just doesn't listen. He's not a bad guy. He just, he just doesn't listen. He gets caught up in his own little things. And part with the daughter, she's saying something to him and he doesn't listen to her. And like, you could tell that she understands now that he's not a bad person and the relationship isn't doomed. It's just that he's not focused on everything. Exactly. And I think too, though, we see a moment where he opens up when she goes, like, I really don't know anything about you or mom. Like, what are you afraid of? Like, what were you afraid of growing up? I know what your favorite food was. And if you liked this, but I don't know anything like, what were you afraid of? And he, and you kind of get some insight into him where he talks about being afraid of his father. And you're like, okay, like, obviously you are not afraid of like a, like a father figure unless there is something going on. So I think it shows that like, as children, we expect a lot from our parents, but we have to remember that they were children once too, and that they are their own people, not just people to us. And I think this movie really made that message like very clear. And I really appreciated that. I thought it was, I thought it was a very fresh like insight onto grief. Yeah, I agree. And as a parent, I understand a lot because like, not a lot, I'm still, I don't know a lot of crap, but I understood like giving up things because now you have a different priority, that your priorities change when you have a child. Like at first your priority is about yourself. You're like, oh, I have to, you know, I want to do this. I want to do this. I want to do this. Then you have a child. And then those priorities change because now you're like, well, I have to support my family. I have to, you know, make a life for my daughter or my son, or, you know, you have to do this. So things change in your life. I mean, not for the worst. I mean, it's actually for the better because you become, you realize the responsibilities of having to take over like the growth of some of another being. And it's, it's a beautiful thing. And you see this in the movie that like they bond real good as, as kids and the mother loves the daughter so much that she's supposed like to raise this child. And she tells the daughter that she didn't care about that because that was the most important part of her life was raising her. Exactly. And I loved, I loved that scene because I think too, as children, not, not from anything that your parents do, but sometimes you feel like, oh, like, am I wanted? Like, are they treating me this way because they don't love me or they treat me this way because of that? And I think that was, that is really important. Um, while I was watching this movie there, it was reminding me of another film only in a brief scene though, cause they're two very different movies, but have you ever seen the movie about time? Yeah. Okay. So this is not that I won't talk about about time for that much longer, but I will talk about it for a little bit. Um, it is a great movie if anyone hasn't seen it. It is a romantic comedy, but deeper than that, it is a movie about a father and son relationship. And so Domhnall Gleeson, he is the main character and he has the ability with his father, Bill Nye, and they can travel to and from time without the butterfly effect being a thing. They can, it's like pretty loose science, but there is one moment where Domhnall Gleeson is about to have a child and once like a life event happens, um, anytime that you go back, the events will be different. So that's like the only thing that matters, which makes no sense. But like I said, the science is not there, but him and his dad decide, um, before the birth of his child that they are going to go back in time together and they are going to spend one last day together. And this movie kind of felt like it was like, like a version of that where the mom and the daughter get to spend one last time together in this like sacred place that they're both attached to, to deal with their grief and to say goodbye. So I thought that was really sweet. Um, I was just like, oh, I love time travel because this movie kind of plays with time again in a way that does not affect, that is not affected by the laws of physics because two of the, the house exists on opposite sides of the woods, even though the woods are just one place. But I thought it was really cool because I think, I think if we could go, I think we take a lot of moments for granted when we're younger and we're living in them. And I think the idea of being able to go back and live in them again and really cherish the moments that you need is important. Yes. A hundred percent. I was trying to think of the movie with Ashton Kutcher. The butterfly effect. Oh yeah. It keeps on, it keeps on like, he keeps on going back and reliving the same moments over and over until finally as a baby, he decides to kill himself. That movie was so bad, but at least the science was kind of there. It was terrible. But I kept on thinking of like, like how this movie was so much better than that because this reflects on, and even though they're stuck in a time loop, like it doesn't affect time. Like, and things progress in that little area of time. Like, like the magic garden. Yes. Yes. Where like they're there, but it doesn't affect anything outside of it. And it doesn't affect anything here. And when she's, when she's with her mother as an adult, her mom actually talks about building that fort and how important it was to her. And then when she's out there, she's building the fort with her mother. And then there's a part where she goes and she does all these like nice decorations on the fort for her mother. And when her mother comes and sees it, it's like a really like emotional thing because her mother's like really like, Oh my God, it's so beautiful. You know? And I don't think she was talking about the fort. I think she was talking about her daughter. Yeah. And like what she's done and like the bond that they've created. And I think, and I totally agree with that. And I think too, you can tell that, that the mom, I also don't think wanted to leave the situation when they spend those last moments together and they're out on the boat and they're like sailing around and like, they're just like having all this great time together and they're celebrating each other and like this bond, like, and I think too, it kind of, they kind of touch on the fact that they are both only children and the loneliness that you feel as an only child and then being able to like have someone there with you. Yeah. I mean, I always like to think, I know that we've talked about how this movie is not based in science, but like in the ideas of time, time is a circle or an arch. It is not a flat line. Like we view it as, and I think that maybe this daughter did go back and visit her mother and like the mom, you know what I mean? Yeah. And that's how like, she knows that like this is who she wants. I don't know. I don't know. I think about things like that. I don't know if it's based in anything, but this is a great film. Um, Celine Sakama is obviously a female French director, um, got her fame, um, from Portrait of a Lady on Fire, which is a fantastic movie if no one has seen it. And one thing I just want to compare between the two films is they're both totally incredibly different, but atmospheric wise, she can create a gut -wrenching scene and create love and passion between two people through like, um, set design and through camera angles and through, um, sound. She's very good at creating a mood and very good at creating a lot of this like longing. And I think that's what both the, I think that's what this movie and Portrait of a Lady on Fire has a lot is like searching for what you need and searching and longing for that. No, I totally get it because I was an only child and growing up it was lonely and I saw people with brothers and sisters and that bond they had and I didn't have that. I had older parents that, you know, I basically had to help take care of. So for me it was, it was a lonely childhood and I made a lot of friends outside and that was like my family. I still call my friends my family because I didn't have that like real big family unit. Right. And, um, I do have a daughter now, but we don't have a relationship. And when I was watching this, it was sad in me because I want to have that relationship that this mother and daughter had, you know, and hopefully someday I do get that, but for right now I don't have it. So that kind of touched base with me a little bit and I was kind of like, Oh, you know, I see how sometimes parents, even though you're a parent, you're not a parent. I mean, just cause you have a child doesn't make you a parent. You got to be a parent, you know? So absolutely. And Ben, it's never too late to have a relationship. Oh, I know. I know. I will eventually. I mean, I got to wait for her to come to me. Of course. You know, I don't want to force anything cause you know, that's not being a good parent. No, you can not enact your will onto your children. You got to sit back, relax and you know, and just know that the day will come hopefully. Yes. Some, some moments from the movie that I want to talk about that I thought were really sweet and I think it shows how good of a writer Celine Sakama is when, when the movie opens up, we see them in a nursing home and we see Nellie saying, giving everyone in that nursing home, like a really nice goodbye and, and you're, and when you're first starting a movie, you're like, oh, she's a polite child. She cares about these people that her grandma was spending her last moments with. And then she has a conversation with her mom when they get back to the house and she goes, you know, I'm really sad that I didn't give grandma a good goodbye. And I thought that was really sweet because then we see her trying to give a good goodbye. Like it just made me recall that opening where she was trying to give a good goodbye to everyone because now she doesn't know and she understands the finality of death. And I think having her mom kind of reenact that goodbye with her was cathartic for both of them. I mean, obviously it's the mom gone, but I think in that one moment it was really sweet. And I think that kind of was a catalyst to make the mom either wish to go back or go back. Yeah, I, I, I agree with that. And you know, it is hard to like, like when you don't say goodbye, like I didn't get to say goodbye to my mom, kills me to this day. Didn't get to say goodbye to my dad, kills me to this day. Cause there's things left unsaid. I think that's what touched on this movie is things left unsaid. They, they went back in time and they got to talk about themselves as kids and, and experience life together. And like, it was a closure and it's not a closure forever. It's just a closure on the things that they don't know about each other. So I thought that was kind of good. Cause you know, you, you want to have that last goodbye. You really do. Like it's, it's so important and many people don't get to experience that. They have to feel that last goodbye. And it's sad cause you, you want to close it out on a, on a note that, you know, you both, you both understand the love you have for each other. And if you don't do that, you just hope that the person goes on to another life knowing that you love them. Of course. And I think too, deep down everyone, like even if you don't get to say it, I think like they know that you love them obviously, but it is, it is always better to have that closure. And I think this movie, and I think what was good too was like when Nellie was talking to Marion as they're both children and she's like, how old am I when my mom dies? And she's like, oh, you're 31 and to a child 31 seems old and Marion goes, oh, that's old. And Nellie actually goes, no, it's not. It's actually young. And I thought that that was really, really sweet cause you can see where Marion is still very childlike in that moment. Whereas Nellie experiencing the death and going through it has kind of grown up and seen the effects of it. Yeah. I, I actually on my comedy skits, I do a stint where we're talking about when I was a kid and someone said that they were my age 54. I'd be like, oh, you're going to die. I was like, now I look in the mirror and go, oh, you're going to die.

"Those tools to an art form which I didn't like, which was theater. Something kind of clicked. And I think I tried to make plays as cinematic as possible and almost the opposite of the things I was seeing. And somehow I was 24, 25 when this happened. And everything kind of fell into place at that time. And then when you wanted to come having established yourself as a man of the theater to come back to film, was that quote of yours. One of the fairs I had being a playwright was to make a playwright film close quote. Does that describe what you mean by that? I guess the fear was to make something that was just wordy and set in inside and a couple of rooms and wasn't cinematic, just Talking Heads. I'm trying to think of the worst examples of playwrights making films now. And I choose not to be correct. But so, but I definitely didn't want to, I wanted my first thing to be at short albeit a feature to be a cinematic as possible, which is probably why I chucked so much stuff into the short. This is 6 shooter that you won the Oscar for. Yes. It's 27 minutes and I think probably 5 people die. There's a shootout. There's a rabbit that doesn't really make it. A lot of crazy crazy, and it's all on a train. Which I don't recommend as the first time on the game. But with Brendan gliese. Great Brandon gleason. Yeah. How did you guys all obviously this about Colin two, but how do you connect with Brennan for the first time? I think weirdly his brother works as a Carpenter, and he works on theater sets. So he had built, I met his brother through building the sets in Galway for my first plays. I don't know if it was through that or not, but Brendan came to see a trilogy of plays in Galway when I was like 24, 25. So I'd met him there and I guess I don't even think nobody stayed in touch, but I was a big fan. He was already 25, 30 years ago. The best in Ireland as he still is. And so he was kind of godlike in a way. So I think I was speaking to the producer of the who was going to do a short run. And he said, who's your dream person to send it to? I said, well, for Nick gleason. And it's funny, you wouldn't usually think of sending a short to someone of that stature. But you hope, I guess the connection him haven't seen the plays. I thought, okay, we'll give it a go. And he said, yes, on a straight away. So it kind of worked out perfectly. Well, and that was the beginning of working on film with great actors like Todd, who we just spoke with, you have listened to how many 7 actors for work in your films have received Oscar nominations. Francis mcdormand Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell for three billboards and Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Barry Hogan. And Kerry condon for banshees. Cool. So that is quite a quite a step. And how many did Todd get? Todd had. I'll let you guys think I'm being told by one there. But hey, who's counting? But no, he's going to come out. That's a cold little drawer. Yeah. So I imagine that a big part of that, it certainly helps to have great writing. If you're an actor, but to be working from that. But can you pinpoint maybe from the theater or anywhere else where you've figured out how to kind of work so effectively with actors? I think one of the things you always fight for is rehearsal. Even on films, which doesn't happen often. Yeah, yeah, very much so. Listen to Todd's answer about that and I guess for me it was, I'd never directed any of my plays before. But I was always in the rehearsal room from day one with all of them. And would always be talking to the actors because I worked with a lot of good directors for stage and the good ones aren't worried about that connection, I think. The bad ones can be insecure about it, but the good ones will let you chat to the actors as much as you want. And through that process with ten years of talking to actors, I think I had learned a lot that I didn't even know didn't know I'd learned when it came to the first day of shooting these films. Because I realized I know about character, but I love actors and trying to solve issues between us. Is sort of in answer to the question you had for Todd is what is the director? I think that's it. The friendship or the connection between the director and an actor and trying to solve everything together, I think, is the most important thing in a movie. But it was a tool I didn't know. I really had, it didn't really come. I was too nervous, I think, on the shore, but on the Bruges, when we had the three weeks of rehearsal, it was the first time I kind of realized I did have more information than I knew I had. I did like actors and I could explain why every line was there or what I thought their reasonings behind each impulse that they had was. So that was a good thing to learn. I think I've carried that through all the films more than anything else. And we'll note so Brennan was with you on the short 6 shooter, then both Brennan and Colin were with you on your first feature in Bruges 2008. Great film. Colin was with you on your 2012 feature, 7 psychopaths. And then of course you've reunited the two of them for banshees. And I guess I just wonder, we've talked a little bit about Brendan, but I guess part a had it call and enter the picture. And then part B, can you pinpoint what makes them so good, not just separately because they obviously are, but especially when you've put them together. What I think Bruges obviously to Brendan, then that was like, I think that happened really quickly because we made the short and all gone well. And but I think Colin, I think I met one or two actors for that. Because originally it was sort of written for two English guys to London guys strangely. But so I was meeting some English actors and some Irish ones. But I just sort of fell in love with colonists since I met him. I was a fan of what he'd done, but I also kind of thought there was something untapped maybe about him in terms of, you know, he'd gone through a lot of the leading roles. And he was great at that by kind of wondered about the more secondary characters, the more sensitive the more broken type of characters I kind of felt like it was something that was on an explored maybe. So yeah, we talked and I loved them as soon as I met him. And then I kind of knew that Brendan loved Colin and Colin

"Double features, sure to maximize your movie time. Let's start with the big epic war movie, all quiet on the western front, which is warning for you. It is brutal. It's honest. It is such an incredible feat of cinema. But then maybe, all right, now you want to change the moods. Maybe you need a stiff drink. Let's go down to the Irish pub. The banshees have been a Sheeran. This one is about two men who have a friendship that falls apart. Colin Farrell, who is a favorite to win best actor. Do you like me yesterday? What did I? Yeah. I taught you did. It's a vulnerable character for him. It's a very soft, vulnerable Colin Farrell, which I think a lot of people are really loved. Him and Brendan Gleeson, they're back together since in Bruges. Now on to the next two nominated movies peeling back the curtain on two Oscar favorites. We know one thing about the academy, for sure. They love movies about movie making. The fable men's celebrates Steven Spielberg, the story of the kid who gets a camera and falls in love with movie making and realizes the power of it. But then if we're doing a double feature, let's stay in the theme of movies about the arts and we go to the other end of the emotional spectrum. Tar, heavy intense psychological drama, Cate Blanchett, possibly the performance of her career. She's nominated in a FrontRunner for best actress for sure. As random and as subjective as this award is, it means a great deal. Hitting the home stretch and the final double header. The Oscars are not afraid to and take pride in honoring movies that take on tough subject matter. Women talking very heavy. It is about a group of women. Frances McDormand, Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, and other women in an isolated religious sect that are enduring horrendous abuse and then what they need to do, what they decide to do to take that on. Do nothing? Stay in fight. Leave. And then to the other end of the spectrum, light and comedic, we have triangle of sadness. Very bizarre movie. That's sort of this comedic look at this incredibly luxurious lifestyle that turns into a fight for survival. So it gets kind of wild and they're big twists and turns. This is where you bud. This is severely, really bad. And last, but certainly not least, the film that cleaned up at last weekend's Screen Actors Guild Awards. Misses Wang, are you with us? I'm just gonna say it. Okay. Everything everywhere all at once. And we're not pairing this with any other movie. This is a movie you watch it, by itself, and it has the most unique momentum of any movie for awards season. Dare I predict it wins best picture, I do. I think you should and I'm very excited for Michelle Yeoh. In a role that no one could have ever predicted, she took the chance, the filmmakers took the chance and they nailed it. ABC's Meghan right with Jeremy Parsons. A new alien film is set to begin production. The 9th installment of the franchise will begin production March 9th and will follow a group of young people on another planet who find themselves in a confrontation with the most terrifying life form in the universe. The new movie does not have a title yet or a release date. The Rachael Ray talk show is ending after 17 seasons in daytime syndication. Ray said she decided it was time to move on to the next exciting chapter in her broadcasting career, and that her passions have evolved from talk show

"So travie what do you think? Yeah, I'm kind of with Sean. I'm also going to give it an 8. This was an enjoyable film. But it is every dark comedy I watch is kind of like, oh, should I be laughing at this? Is this good? Okay, good deal. And none of them are ones that I really want to watch again. Often. This might be once every ten year thing. Oh yeah, I remember that film. If I ever remember it again. I love Brendan Gleeson. And Colin Farrell, in Bruges, I've watched twice, and I don't remember a lot of it, but I kind of need to watch it a third time. In Bruges is very similar in that it's like a dark comedy that I remember. I've seen it, and I think about it a lot, but I don't remember a lot about it. I remember liking it. Yeah. Same. But yeah, it does seem that it's very gleason's gut kind of a almost a midlife crisis type thing going on on the island where he's just like, he's in a rut. It's very humdrum life and he's looking, he's like, I gotta make a change. Yeah. And he realizes he goes, you know, I'm not getting anything out of this relationship. And cuts him off. I thought it would have been interesting because all we see is really the fallout. We never get to see, we basically start the movie at the conflict, right when it's happening. It would have been interesting to see the last time that they hung out or had kind of a normal day to see what that would look like. Make the decision because we're right along with Colin Farrell being like, wait, he's just acting weird. Out of nowhere. But. How we're introduced to the characters, something is off.

"But for the claim that it got for the scores, it was 96% Rotten Tomatoes. I mean, it won all kinds of screen actors guilds, Golden Globes, nominated for 9 Academy Awards. That was pretty disappointing gross. Back in pre COVID, you know, I think a movie like this would make some pretty good money from all that attention it's getting. So maybe I think that the thing that they need to do is get more of these movies into home streaming faster to get the word out basically. Yeah, I think it was or do it like one week and then it comes off a streaming. I don't remember what actor was saying it, but he was basically saying that like nowadays if it's not either streaming or going to be a massive blockbuster like a guaranteed blockbuster like a marvel movie. It's just not worth making anymore. Yeah, it was Matt Damon. Yeah. And so this was written directed by Martin McDonald. Who also did the film in Bruges. This reunites Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, brynden, gleason from that film fucking love him. Exactly. So yeah, this is nominated for 9 Academy Awards, including the best picture, best director, best original screenplay. Best actor for Colin Farrell, best supporting actor for bringing lace and rest supporting actors with Carrie condon breast. Did I say breast? Yep. Okay. My bad. And I thought that was just some random like Gerard depardieu that you were throwing in there and rest. This is considered a dark horse to win the major awards behind everything everywhere all at once, which is the favorite at this point. So you think this one's like number two? It's definitely top three or four, yeah. It's up there, I think. Okay. But the plot is set during the Irish Civil War in 1923. On the fictional island of interfering.

Podrick is left confused, grief stricken and spends the balance of the movie trying to make sense of exactly what's happened and what's caused that and how to fix it. In that time podrick seeks dollars from his much wiser and more emotionally grounded sister played by Karen Kahn and extremely coarse and somewhat slow witted drinking buddy played by Barry Keoghan and even his beloved pet donkey. Ultimately column somewhat curmudgeonly musician will resort to extreme measures to try and repel podrick away from him for good. So that's what I got for a description.

The national oceanic and atmospheric administration released a report that shows the gray whale population is down 38% from 2015, and the whales are having the fewest calves since 1994. So when scientists first started counting, there was a similar drop in the 1980s. Many of the whales that currently wash up on beaches are malnourished, which scientists say might be due to less sea ice and food sources due to climate change.

"And so political parties needing to make sure that they're taking care of their members, make sure that they have standards of practice in place and codes of practice that they can hold all members accountable for. We see some of the perpetration of abuse can be from within political parties or from party to party. So, I mean, we need to cut that out and not have it as a norm that it has become in the last, particularly the last few years. So there's some of the examples of what we can do. But I think in terms of Women for Elections main work, it's that we make sure that women have the access to the information, the support, the training. And so we're running programmes, we're running the Inspire campaign school, where our next campaign school is starting on the 11th of May. What do you do with those? So we have three sessions over three nights. And the first kind of night really gets into, you know, finding that passion and that purpose, that confidence that will carry you through no matter how tough it gets. So it's digging deep into your reason for being in politics. And we work with Orla Parmody usually for that. And Orla is excellent in terms of really diving into somebody's confidence and bringing out their capacity to communicate. Then our second session gets into the telling your story. So one of the challenges of being a politician is you have to sell yourself. And actually it is the challenge and being able to communicate your message in a way that people connect and want to be part of what you're doing. So that's kind of the second session, an introduction at that level. And then the third session then is really into campaigning, looking at how you set about developing your campaign, what's, you know, the nuts and bolts and of campaigning a walk around in that space and getting yourself up. Now we have resource packs and information and guides and everything that come with the program. And we've had a few hundred women get through this program in the last few years.

"It's a kind of a meet and greet, but with getting into the behind the scenes, how do you get involved in the party? You want, if you're thinking about running, how to approach a party, who to approach, where to approach, you know, it's not, it's not necessarily the best thing to approach the local sitting counsellor because you're effectively approaching your competitor. So, you know, parties operate differently. So sometimes you're better off coming in at a national level or the times you're going to regional level. So each of the parties have their unique own way of organising. And so this meet the party is an opportunity to see how you can get involved. Also hear about the, being a member of what it's like. I'm quite, I mean, I love listening to them because you're really, we're getting to hear behind the scenes. And I'm now since kind of asking people, have you ever considered joining the political party? And I wouldn't be, wouldn't be one person for that before, but I think there's something about, you know, we think of joining up a sports club, we think of joining up other civic society organisations, unions or whatever, but have we, did we grow up in a culture where it was considered, oh, I'm with which party am I joining in terms of my active citizenship and my being able to engage in the cut and trust of, of daily life of politics and change in my community. So in each of the, in each of the episodes or each of the events, we have a staffer from the parties, but also we have at least one leading elected politician who talks about their experience. So yeah, that's great. Next, the next ones, I'm not sure if we'd have gone live by then, but the next ones are this Thursday, Wednesday and Thursday at lunchtime with Labour on Wednesday at one o 'clock. And we have Fianna Fáil on Thursday, and then we're waiting then to hear, to book in Sinn Féin and the Green Party and Social Democrats. So that's, yeah, that's the lineup on it. Lots to look forward to there. That's great. So I suppose what does Ireland as corporation a need to do to get more women to 50 -50? I mean, that's your ambition, isn't it? It's my ambition. It's our ambition. It's our board's ambition. It's been the ambition of the organisation for a number of years and many advocates. So as I talked about, we need to make sure we have enough women on the ticket. So for the 2024 elections and the next general elections, we want to see a 50 -50 representation on the ticket. That sounds like a big ask, even though we're like more than 50 % of the population. Like it should be reasonable. Yeah. Yeah. It's a bit, it's a bit, it'll be a jump, but we're looking to double the number of women on the ticket for 2024. So we want to see a thousand women selected for the local elections and we want to see 250 women selected for the general elections. Now, if you think the last, it is a bit of a leap. The last general elections was the first time there was a woman on every ballot in every constituency, on the ballot. So, I mean, we've 23 local electoral areas where there's no women on elected, but we've had many where there was no women on the ticket, but we're looking for the national average to be a 50 -50 representation. And if that becomes on every ballot paper, that would be fantastic. So that's one of the things that's a supply issue. Although we have women coming forward all the time. So it's that matching the parties and parties making sure that they're selecting and supporting women where they can actually have a good chance of having some level of success and hopefully ultimately being elected. And then we really need more systemic change. So we're working with the Oireachtas members. We worked on the Oireachtas forum recently. We're working with NGOs to look at solutions, systemic solutions to change.

"I think Hazel is one example of so much abuse that has been subjected to, to particularly female politicians and, and candidates. Men aren't, men aren't exempt from it. And certainly we've seen very, very awful behaviour towards men in terms of, particularly the social media, male politicians, social media spaces. And so the solutions, but the, the, what's happening to women and we're seeing every week, there's, there are stories coming through in terms of women are starting, female politicians certainly starting to talk about it more, which is a good thing. Even when I came into this job a year and a half ago, there was a kind of worrying silence. It wasn't as, as vocal as what I could hear off, offline, as opposed to what's online. So it being spoken about is a good thing. It's terrible that people have to speak about it, but now as a society, we have to, and as institutions, we have to really take action. And so there are things that all of us can do. And I think that's the, that's the call it out space. So, you know, when we're in, when we're, you know, the simple things like not re, resharing abusive material, because that continues, unless it's coming from the person, the victim of the abuse themselves, because that is just re, re, re, re -emphasizing what's happened to them. And so be led very much by that. But I think calling out the actual behaviour, the platforms have a critical role and, and there, you know, there has to be a way that they can do better here. I mean, I know that they have improved in terms of reporting and take downs, but it's nowhere near where it needs to be. So that's quite critical. And then the justice system response, we see recently the deputy, Carl MacNeil, had a very successful outcome when she reported and it was taken seriously and went through the courts. So there is legislation there. Not all of it is fully understood within the justice system. And so the police response needs to be stronger. Politicians should be able to go in equal confidence to the, to the police, to the guards and into the court process. But there are barriers there in terms of going forward. The barrier is always for women, particularly when they're reporting at the, even the more serious end of physical assault or threats or, or sexual harassment or, and, and up to including sexual assault and, and worse. So, so all of these services need to equally be accessible for female politicians or women in public life. And they're not always perceived necessarily by women in public life as services for them. So I think we, we've opportunities to strengthen there. And then overall that kind of culture, that bystander acceptance or, or, you know, that everyday take down a politician because it's the right thing to moan about today. It's not okay. You know, it's not okay. I think we have, we can do much better. And that adversarial culture that we have here in Ireland doesn't need to be that way. Well, I think you're so right there. Yeah. Yeah. I think people are so fed up of it, you know, and we actually need good politicians. So, you know, if you're always moaning, groaning about them, you can understand why somebody does want to go into a thankless job, you know. A thankless job. And also there's no, you know, the intrusion into private, into private life is unless a politician is offering their family or their private life to, into the public domain by choice. And even when they do, it should be respected and not taken as political material. And, and that's what I think, you know, that's, that's something that we really have to get on top of in Ireland because we need to make politics attractive for everyone, but we particularly need to make it attractive for, for women. And I would say we need to

"You did a campaign there maybe a year or more ago about tapping somebody on the shoulder, which I thought was a great idea. Just going back to what you were saying there about, you know, being asked multiple times, is that, you know, people just need to be asked or hinted like, you know, have a think about this. And does it take a while for them to come around then? Well, we see, like women for election 10 years this year. So we've had a number of campaigns over the years and the asking somebody to get somebody to go forward has been kind of core to our way of getting women involved. So we relaunched that campaign this, this spring as the Count Her In, Count Me In campaign. And it's essentially the same principle. So women are consistently saying to us that they needed to be asked multiple times, at least five times in some cases before they would put themselves forward. So that's the concept we're working on that while at the same time, hoping that women will count themselves in, that they'll, they'll feel that purpose, that sense of knowing in themselves that actually they, they really want to cut their teeth in politics and run and represent their community. So, so that's, that's one of the campaigns that we have, but it's an important part of getting women to come forward. Women are coming forward though. That's, that's important. We need to know that as well. And we've seen a lot more female candidates in the, in the last number of years. The issue, which is one of the other barriers has been, they haven't been supported and selected equally. And that's where we have to see lot more work and change happen with the political parties, particularly. So it's one, I think it's, it's quite interesting if you look at it, if you consider it in the concept of equality, that candidates aren't selected equally, that there is a disproportionate, there has been a disproportionate selection of men over women. And so that therefore makes it gendered. And so we're asking the parties now to move beyond even the quota levels, which, which are, shouldn't be the, the target. They should be the minimum. And we're asking that for the 2024 elections that they look and they select equally, but not only select equally then, but equally provide the supports to women in terms of running for campaigns and not land women on the ticket a week or two out from an election, or even four weeks. Now's the time for, for the selections and the supports we start, to start be putting in place. So they shouldn't be there as kind of an afterthought by the parties, or they shouldn't be put in kind of in a place they're never going to win anyway. Yeah. Not to meet the quota, basically. And I'm hoping, and I'm, you know, I have to say I'm, I'm only about a year and a half, not even a year and a half from this job. And my eyes have opened up being a non -partisan organization. We get to work across all the political parties and get to meet with them and very collaboratively work with them and see that there is genuine effort being made across the political parties to actually change this. So I think we're witnessing the politics is changing and the face of politics is changing before us. I'm just hopeful that this is the case. But also, you know, we have a lot of work to do to drive this home for the 2024 elections, the local elections in 2024. Well, when you look at the opposition benches now, we've got three parties led by women. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So technically four party leaders are female. So actually, if you're a stats nerd, there actually is now more women leaders than, than male leaders, female leaders than male leaders of political parties. Once you get into some parties of co -leadership going on. And that's fantastic. Of course, we haven't had our first female Taoiseach yet. We've only had a fourth Hánaiste as women in a hundred years.

"Councils where there's like one woman elected, two women elected, and there, you know, there's only, there's only a small handful of councils actually have more than, than 40 % women. With 23 local electoral areas in the country where there is no women elected. It's really shocking, yeah. And yet, you know, being on a local council is kind of a prerequisite to getting into the Dáil, isn't it? You need some local experience and just learning how things work at local level, if you want to get into seniors. Statistically, in the way politics has happened, operated, and, and you know, if you just look at the basics of, you know, people vote in terms of who they know, you know, anybody making a decision will want to know the person they're, they're, they're voting for their track record. So we have some exceptions to that in, in the, in more recent Dáil, but in, in the main, the majority of women, it's a very high statistic. I think it's over 80 % of women who are elected to Dáil Éireann at the moment have served at least one term at, at local government. So local government is critical, but also not just because of national parliament, but because for local government, we're making decisions around our infrastructure. We're making decisions around housing. We're making decisions that are critical to our everyday well, women's lives as well, in particular, women's lives. And also, you know, it's not just about having women at the table to, you know, have a, maybe perhaps a greater understanding of women's experiences, but the diversity of women's perspective at the table does make a difference. And, and we're missing that potential and we're missing the potential, not just in terms of women, but the diversity of people in Ireland. You know, we have a very low representation in terms of ethnicity, in terms of, of diversity in our society. And, and that's, that's something we have to really address. And yet there's no shortage of women involved in, in local issues and, you know, advocating for various charities or local issues.

After careful assessment of the facts and the law, the Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against the state of Texas. The obvious and expressly acknowledged intention of this statutory scheme is to prevent women from exercising their constitutional rights by thwarting judicial review. For as long as possible thus far. The law has had its intended effect because the statute makes it too risky for an abortion clinic to stay open. Abortion providers have ceased providing services.

That leave and, uh, the bracero program, which was that was what it was called was an attempt was an agreement between the US and Mexico in which large numbers of Mexican Workers would come over. They would work. They were guaranteed a certain weight, which they never got. They were guaranteed housing, which was terrible. They were guaranteed health. Uh, Services, which were never given, Uh and in some ways what that does, it is causes a real split within the Mexican Mexican American community because Mexican our farm works are now pushed up. To the north. They cannot compete so that if O with the cheap bracero labor that's coming straight in from Mexico and which causes it really interesting political dilemma because before the 19 sixties. Many of the leaders. Well, we consider the leaders of the next American community were against this kind of program, and they sometimes they would become, um Um, rather disturbed they would become annoyed and and, in fact become very anti Mexican anti undocumented because these are Mexican Americans who were against Mexicans coming into the United States to work either documented or otherwise, and even says of Chavez initially now the union and everything has changed dramatically, but he used to Take a farm workers the members of his union and line them up in in the, uh, and the bridges from Mexico, You know, crossover to train it stop undocumented folks from coming through and they fought because they didn't want the competition for the field. That's right, because what happened is that once these people would come in initially with the program That was not supposed to be a problem. But what happens is a lot of, uh, agriculture of businesses do not follow the rules or What happens is that More smaller, independent farmers began to offer them money and began to offer these braceros that instead of going home when they were supposed to, why not stay and work for me just under the under the table and we'll just keep you here and that sort of help collapse the program. The set of program eventually and forced the unions. Eventually, there's that Chavez and his union were forced to begin to organize Mexican workers who were coming over because they realized they couldn't fight. They couldn't keep him out. They couldn't give them out. So they thought, Okay, well, let's start working with them and organizing them. And so then the undocumented worker population becomes Critical to the unionizing efforts among Mexican Americans. By the 19 eighties and nineties, the nation's largest unions were starting to see immigrant workers as crucial to their success, and they saw undocumented immigrant workers as an untapped resource for their movement. So in the year 2000 the F L C. I O endorsed amnesty for undocumented immigrants living in the U. S.

Certainly, they were playing a big role in terms of the internal compromises through the two thousands that we saw through kind of the gridlock of Congress not being able to come to a congressional agreement. What is often referred to as comprehensive immigration reform and in the absence of that a number Of different unions finally did come around to the demands largely of youth movement organizers who said We're not going to get Congress to act on this, and we need your leadership and your support to help pressure the president to use is Executive action powers to move something forward. And so that's where we got the different action for childhood arrivals program. What you refer to his DACA. Marie attempted to get a bigger program that would have encompassed individuals who are the parents of green card holders and citizens. And so once Taco was in place in the summer of 2012 unions, many of them though not all of them did step into place on two main friends. One was to help individuals process their applications. And they did this through a number of different ways, either through a lot of resource and referral or dissemination of information to help connect people with Reese. Sources. But also in some cases as we saw in San Francisco, there was an attempt to partner with In that case, municipal entities that were pouring money into immigration services and would provide actual What we might think of his case management. So it was both getting the information out and also, um, connecting folks with legal services to help process their applications since the DACA targets young undocumented immigrants who are looking to go to college or start their careers with temporary protection from deportation. Gleason notes. It's not a program that directly benefits labor unions. But the undocumented parents of DACA recipients are likely to be working in the industries where unions are actively organizing. Supporting Dhaka is a way of showing solidarity with those parents. But unions still face steep barriers and convincing those undocumented workers to start organizing, says Gleeson. What happened is that Case made its way all the way up to the Supreme Court, and in 2000 and two it was decided. Chief went. Frank Quist was at the helm at the time that undocumented workers did indeed continue to have rights under the National Labor Relations Act to organize, But they didn't have the same remedies if they were to be fired. And that creates a massive loophole You can imagine for, um, unions who are engaged in organizing with undocumented workers, and so that you know, we've seen this In many cases, where, um, For example, here on Long Island there was a cookie company has been all over the news teeth, which alleged be engaged in explicit retaliation against workers written, threatening call immigration authorities. If they continue to organize for a union. So we certainly have that where there are threats directly and during the Trump administration, I think that that was a very valid threat that could have been acted upon. But I think that Even now, in the Biden administration, there's all sorts of ways that people can get caught up in the deportation pipeline, whether or not they are actively organizing or not. And so the kind of lay low mentality, I think, is something that both unauthorized workers and low wage workers. You simply don't want to lose their job and have very little protections against losing their job. Um That they want to engage in. And so we also see this in certain industries where it's really up to the employer who they want to hire folks wanting to avoid getting blacklisted being seen as rabble rousers. And so that is, I think what the unions Go back to original question. You know what is part of their calculus is both the demand on the part of members. But it's also as a labor movement to survive the current reality in which we live in both economic and political. They have to be able to engage in this organizing work for all workers and to be assured that the rights of the undocumented Some will be respected, just as in the other low wage worker, and that's a precarious um, hope. I think at this stage that's Shannon Gleason, a professor of labor relations law and history at Cornell University. We also heard from Ignacio Garcia, a professor of Western and Latino history at Brigham Young University. And that's it for this special episode of the show marking Labor Day.

Planet Money
A Mathematician, The Last Supper, And The Birth Of Accounting
"Our show. Today is an interview with Jane Gleeson white. She wrote a book a few years back called double entry how the merchants of Venice created modern finance Jane has an accounting degree. And she just got obsessed with this topic. And one of the first thing she pointed out to us is that in order to have accounted, there really is something else that you need. I you need to have numbers. And when our story takes place is the fourteen hundreds much of Europe is still using these Roman numerals. I you know, I thought Roman numerals must have gone out the Roman empire but neither lasted well into the renaissance. So the problem with Roman numerals as any schoolchild knows if they've tried to work with them is you can't adult subtract with them, you have to that, just that just like a written language for recording numerals. So you do anything with them. So they're these recording. The minimize will cover them into rock. That's how useful there. Well, we still do that, too in Jacob. Think about it, right. Say you have four hundred and twenty six. Pounds of pepper. And you want to write that down. You would write down. I had to look this up. CD X, X V, I, which is not useful. It is really just like you're writing out four hundred and twenty six in words. Like. F. O. U. R. H U, N D or. Got it. And, you know, so imagine if you're writing it out and words and you want to do math with that. You know, quick what's LX I x? Plus x y. I have no idea. It has an end was really complicated for merchants because like if someone wants to buy a certain amount of pepper corns from you or will, how much was that gonna cost that required some math and Jane says that was a problem? So with the Roman numerals, they had to have what they called an Abacus, but it's not the sort of Abacus. We think of today, the Abacus was bored of sand with pebbles on it in the columns of the unit. So that was used for the adding and subtracting. So the bankers and merchants set around the squares with the Abacus adding, and subtracting prices and quantities. But then they had to record the results of the psalms in Roman numerals in a scroll, and so there was no connection between the working the mathematical working and the result. So the two things was separated were, and there was no trace of the procedures that had gone on before, you know, the additional the subtraction on math tests when they say show your work. There's no way anybody can ever show there that you can't show the working which meant that you couldn't really tell you know, if they'd been an era or not. But around this time merchants in Europe are picking up on something that's being used over in the Middle East Arabic numerals, these are one do three four five. You know what we all use today? Jin mentions. One philosopher, in Europe, who said, hey, these numerals their super powerful, every, every scholar should be learning them, but the church, actually accused the guy of practicing magic and sentenced him to life in prison. So this was like a big controversial development for the merchants though. These numerals were just super super useful. It was this new way for them to understand and track. What was going on in their businesses and the center of business at the time in Europe was a crazy, exciting and decadent place, Venice than his in that day, was, I think the equivalent of Silicon Valley and New York all sort of wrapped up together everything was happening in Venice. It was an incredibly wealthy trading. Center much from all over the world from England from Germany from Holland from the Middle East. The merchants set the international exchange rates for the whole of Europe and Asia. So it was a quivalent to Wall Street, but it also is the center of a brand new industry, which was the printing press, you write that it was smelly. There was malaria. It was known as being sexually excessive. Yeah. Because of the swamps, it was excessively stinky. And they used to put incense and perfume around the canals to try and reduce the smell, which probably, I'm sure any minute worse. It was a place of decadent excess people had also it's of strange illnesses, as well as malaria, which the physicians put down to sexual excess, so, you know, once more, I give you Manhattan. Then is at this time it has become the center of this huge trading network. You know, it's no longer just like little merchants selling flour to the Baker down the street things are coming on ships, and they're coming in from the Middle East and going out to England. It's really this kind of global hub, and trading is getting commerce is getting much more complex businesses are issuing letters of credit instead of actually shipping. Physical gold and merchants in Venice to keep track of all this. They're starting to use a very sophisticated system of accounting, the origins of this are kind of obscure, it seems like the first known use of it is around thirteen hundred. But at this moment in Venice, it is really starting to take off at the time, it was known as Venetian bookkeeping today, we call it double entry bookkeeping, and that phrase double entry that means that everything you do it gets entered in two different places. And so to just do an example of this say, you're a spice trader and you have one hundred dollars in cash and fifty dollars worth of pepper and you sell say ten dollars worth. Pepper. So you right. One entry in your pepper account showing that now you have ten dollars less pepper. And then you write another entry in your cash account showing that now you have ten dollars more in cash. So this double entry thing, it basically lets you see what's going on, in all of your different accounts. And at the end of the day or the month of the year, it lets you check all that all those pluses and minuses they should balance out. That's the double entry part. But really the key thing about double entry bookkeeping. It's the bookkeeping part, you know, it's, it's a system of precise system for keeping track of everything that's going on in your business, and it's hard to imagine. But Jane says that really did not exist before this previously, the prophet was either in kind you know, so you had three extra cows at the end of your period, with, with w bookkeeping it was obstructed into hod numbers that you could compare with other periods and really know that you had increased Joe wealth by two percent, rather than buy three cars, which is, you know, much. The measure and you can see when you have currency and you have animal skins, and you have wall and you have whatever I mean if you imagine a universe, where people are just keeping track of that by writing in their diary, which is what they were doing before. I have this. I have that I bought this. I saw that. And they're just sort of writing notes all day, the end of the year. Would I mean you have your notebook, but it's sort of a nightmare to imagine trying to figure out if you made money if you lost money, what, what parts of your business made or less money? Yeah. Absolutely. That was the other benefit of dominant. She bookkeeping that you could itemize the prophets in h account. So you knew which, which, as you say, which products you doing well, and in which you want, and then you can start to think about how you would change your business activities. I think it just became for one of the better would much more scientific
