In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

It Follows (2014) #48 of 50 52:47

cách đây 11 ngày trước52:47

52:47

Show Notes This week we’re talking STDs with 2014’s It Follows. It’s not a slasher movie, but it sure looks up to John Carpenter. Girls just want to have fun, and this supernatural buzzkill comes out to keep that from happening unless you want to be ****ed to death by something that looks like your parent’s corpse. It’s slow, but it’s not stupid, and it’s scary!

John Wick (2014) #47 of 50 50:14

cách đây 18 ngày trước50:14

50:14

Show Notes It’s the best modern day action franchise – maybe the best American action franchise – John Wick. Never have so many people died because a dipshit made a dumb decision and killed a dog. We talk all things Keanu, the hubris of waiting for an assassin while nude, the assassin’s code and how cool the underground world they build really is. Join us for the watch – and keep on – make it a whole marathon! It’s gotta be a better way to spend your day than working, right?

Ex Machina (2014) #46 of 50 56:35

56:35

Show Notes This week we go back in time to when AI was a remarkable step forward instead of a feature on all of our devices, whether we like it or not, with Alex Garland’s Ex Machina. Oscar Isaac plays a billionaire that falls into all of the billionaire stereotypes that have proven true with the rise of Elon Musk: a self-proclaimed demi-god. Domhnall Gleeson plays a patsy for every other speaking character. Alicia Vikander plays – well, that’s the question isn’t it, what – or who – is she?

Show Notes It’s a love story this week as we watch Gone Girl directed by fave David Fincher. We extoll the virtues of Ben Affleck and Carrie Coon and spend a lot of time asking about love and romance. What is love? Is this it? Why? What? How? Come to your own conclusions but not until you hear ours.

Snowpiercer (2013) #44 of 50 57:22

Show Notes This week we watch Bong Joon-Ho’s dystopian masterpiece – no not that one, the other one – Snowpiercer. Chris Evans doesn’t want to be a hero, and can he truly be if he know what people taste like? We argue yes, when the villain is capitalism, any man can be a hero. Tilda Swinton puts in a grounded and naturalistic performance (her words) and Allison Pill is just a delight while Kang-ho Song plays his normal hilarious druggie. Bong has an innate ability to entertain and make you laugh while spotlighting the horrors of society. This movie rocks and you need to watch it.

The Conjuring (2013) #43 of 50 53:41

cách đây 7 weeks trước53:41

53:41

Show Notes Lily Taylor is trying very hard to not kill her kids in the first film of the Conjuring Universe – aptly named the Conjuring. Ed and Lorraine Warren – characters we are not going to conflate with their real-world counterparts – are enlisted to help a family of seven with a demon problem. Think Poltergeist but replace a haunted closet with a haunted mom and Zelda Rubenstein with Vera Farmiga. Patrick Wilson’s Ed Warren is not allowed to perform exorcisms but it’s a good thing he keeps a special exorcism book in the car. Special appearance by the Hollywood version of Annabelle, a Hasbro-approved nightmare.

Zero Dark Thirty (2013) #42 of 50 1:04:17

1:04:17

Show Notes This week, we are on a hunt for the most wanted man in the minds and hearts of Americans lead by the inimitable Jessica Chastain in Zero Dark Thirty. Kathryn Bigelow is a master of packing lot of tension in scenes set anywhere from black sites to offices. The fundamental reality of war makes even the most benign seeming activities a possible powder keg leaving us off kilter and at a loss trying to guess where danger might be coming from be it in the field or in the office. Let’s follow a smart woman telling everyone around her what’s important and how to solve their problem.

Show Notes First days on the job don’t get much worse than this one – Iko Uwais stars in the pure action film The Raid: Redemption. Cops go into a tenement building and have to fight their way out facing off against an army of desperate people and unhinged gangsters. Once we get in, the only way out is through. Martial arts you probably have never seen alongside bonkers gunfights leaves us exhausted by the end.

Devil (2010) #40 of 50 43:27

Show Notes Five walk into an elevator and one walks out – this week we talk Devil, a 2010 M. Night Shyamalan production. We’ve got some shady people locked together and a sad cop watching with enough smarts to listen to the Catholic who knows the danger they all face. It’s a mostly real-time horror flick that relies on fears we all have – you know, that you’re going to be stuck in an elevator with a demon. I know it keeps us all up at night.

Taken (2008) #39 of 50 51:33

cách đây 11 weeks trước51:33

51:33

Show Notes This week we watched Liam Neeson pick up his mantle of action hero in 2008s Taken. It’s surprisingly paced and full of short effective fights that make up a satisfying action movie. Maggie Grace is a believable, if too resilient teen, and Famke Jansen is a terrible co-parent, rounding out a typical American family facing a sex-trafficking threat. Good thing he’s honed those skills. Recommendations: A Christmas Carol (the Muppets one on Disney + [and go the the special features to watch the full heartbreaking version] and the George C. Scott one on Paramount =); Rankin Bass Christmas specials which you should just by on physical media.

Show Notes Home invasion classic The Strangers brings the Masked Man, Dollface and Pin-up Girl to a newly fractured couple, fracturing them even further. Is this a statement about class? Maybe. Is James being a dick because he’s hurt? Probably. How is Kristen’s skin so good while she is smoking like a chimney? That one is easy – it’s because she’s Liv Tyler. And who is Tamra and why are they looking for her?

The Dark Knight (2008) #37 of 50 57:41

57:41

Show Notes We watched the best superhero movie – or at least top 3 – this week with the second film in Christopher Nolan’s trilogy, The Dark Knight. Incredible cast, unbelievable performances, great writing, and insane effects and set pieces all come together to form a tour-de-force that we could watch over and over again, maybe even just to hear Michael Caine tell us about rubies the size of a tangerine. Or to watch that magic trick where the Joker makes a pencil disappear. Or the best heist film ever in the first 10 minutes. Or an 18-wheeler doing a somersault. Or all of it, we’ll take all of it.

Show Notes This week we watch a naïve midwife and a cynical gangster, whose mostly cynical because he’s actually a cop, in Eastern Promises. One of the least Cronenbergian David Cronenberg films is best remembered for a naked bathhouse fight, but which has some deep and nuanced characters played by thoughtful actors and interacting in interesting and eminently believable ways. But also, there’s a naked bathhouse fight.
