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.

Episode 267 - Cinderella Man (w/ BFF of the BFE: Hermes Auslander) 3:51:42

cách đây 7 ngày trước3:51:42

3:51:42

(Deep Dive begins at 43:35) "Every underdog has his day." Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian and BFF of the BFE from The Scuttlebutt Podcast (Megs, B-Tech Kev & Liam are off training for their next big fight) – as we step into the ring for grit, determination, and Depression-era boxing in Cinderella Man (2005). We’re swapping a grimy Edinburgh flat for Madison Square Garden and diving into our 267th episode as we discuss: How Russell Crowe delivers a knockout performance as James J. Braddock. Renée Zellweger’s role as the supportive yet strong Mae Braddock – does she get enough credit? Does Paul Giamatti steal the show as the passionate manager, Joe Gould? The realism of the boxing sequences – do they hold up in 2024? Is it fair to call this film a boxing film or is it something else? Who is the biggest villain of the movie: the Great Depression, Promoter James Johnston, Max Baer, or the system keeping Braddock down? Could this be Ron Howard’s most underrated film? We talk about hockey's Four Nations tournament and why sports make the best narratives. Whether Cinderella Man is the Best Film Ever.

See It or Skip It? - The Brutalist (w/ BFF of the BFE: Hermes Auslander) 1:20:45

1:20:45

FIRST 37:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 37:00: Full Spoiler Review Another Oscar week See It or Skip It has us exploring this year's Best Picture field a little deeper by diving into the striking The Brutalist (2024) , now playing in select theaters. Directed by Brady Corbet and starring Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, and Guy Pearce, this sweeping historical drama promises to blend grand ambition with intimate storytelling. Join Ian and Hermes as we step into the austere world of The Brutalist to see if it delivers a compelling, thought-provoking portrait of art and survival or if it buckles under the weight of its own vision. Does it bring a fresh perspective to historical dramas while exploring deeper themes, or does it rely too heavily on its style without enough structural integrity? We’ll examine the film’s storytelling—What larger themes and ideologies does it lean into? Is it a deeply personal immigrant story, a meditation on artistic resilience, or something else entirely? How does Adrien Brody’s performance anchor the film, and does he bring the emotional depth needed for such a role? And how does Felicity Jones complement or contrast him? We’ll also break down the film’s visual and atmospheric elements. Did the stark cinematography and production design elevate the film’s themes, or did they overshadow its emotional core? Finally, we’ll debate whether The Brutalist achieves its ambitious goals. Does it leave a lasting impact as a modern cinematic statement, or does it feel too detached for its own good? Yes, it's clever but is it fair to ask a film to 'get' a movie on such an abstract level? We’ll tackle all these questions as we dissect the movie and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!…

FIRST 33:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 33:00: Full Spoiler Review This week's See It or Skip It has us exploring this year's Oscar field a little deeper by diving into the mind-bending The Substance (2024) , now playing on MUBI (in the US/UK). Directed by Coralie Fargeat and starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid, this psychological body horror promises to push boundaries and challenge audiences with its bold, unsettling vision. Join Ian and Shai as we step into the eerie world of The Substance to see if it delivers a chilling, thought-provoking experience or if it crumbles under the weight of its ambition. Does it bring a fresh perspective to horror while exploring deeper themes, or does it lean too heavily on shock value without enough... substance? We’ll examine the film’s storytelling—What larger themes and ideologies does this lean into or is it just a straight up horror film? How does Demi Moore’s performance anchor the film, and does she reinvent herself in this daring role? And how does Margaret Qualley complement or contrast her, adding to the film’s psychological intensity? And do you know whose kid she is? Ian couldn't believe it. We’ll also break down the film’s striking visuals and grotesque horror elements. Did the film’s themes of identity and transformation resonate, or did they get lost in the chaos? And how does the film’s score heighten the unsettling atmosphere? And how was this film snubbed in the cinematography category? Shai couldn't believe it. Finally, we’ll debate whether The Substance can overcome some questions in its own internal logic. Does it deliver a profound, lasting impact, or does it leave you more confused than captivated? We’ll tackle all these questions as we dissect the movie and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!…

Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian and Official KevDog from The Podcast That Wouldn't Die (Megs, B-Tech Kev & Liam are off trying to dispose of a suitcase full of cash) – as we head to the world of twisted morality, paranoia, and early Danny Boyle brilliance in Shallow Grave (1994) . We’re swapping the peaceful Amish countryside for a grimy Edinburgh flat and diving into our 266th episode as we discuss: How Ewan McGregor, Kerry Fox, and Christopher Eccleston create one of the most dysfunctional trios in cinema. Are any of them likeable? Danny Boyle’s energetic directing style and how it shaped his career. Would we call ourselves hard boyled or medium boyled The film’s dark humor – does it still land in 2024? Is Kerry Fox doomed to be the answer to an obscure trivia question Who is the biggest villain of the movie: greed, paranoia, or one of the three roommates? Would you ever trust your roommates with this much money? We talk about The Kansas City Chiefs getting destroyed in the SuperBowl and discuss the price of eggs Whether Shallow Grave is the Best Film Ever.

See it or Skip It? - Captain America: Brave New World (w/ BFF of the BFE: James De Guzman) 1:02:22

1:02:22

FIRST 35:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 35:00: Full Spoiler Review This week's See It or Skip It has us diving into the highly anticipated Captain America: Brave New World (2025) , now playing in theaters. Directed by Julius Onah and starring Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford, this latest entry in the MCU marks a new chapter for the Star-Spangled Avenger. Join Ian and James as we step into a post- Endgame world to see if Brave New World soars as a worthy successor to the Captain America legacy or if it stumbles under the weight of expectation. Does it honour Steve Rogers' past while firmly establishing Sam Wilson as his own Cap, or does it play it too safe without enough bold ambition? We’ll examine the film’s storytelling—Does it justify its place in the MCU after so much time since Falcon and the Winter Soldier ? How does Anthony Mackie fare in his first solo Captain America outing, and does he bring the same leadership and presence as Chris Evans once did? And how does Harrison Ford’s debut as Thunderbolt Ross shake up the Marvel landscape? We’ll also break down the action and spectacle—Are the fight sequences and choreography on par with the intense, grounded combat of The Winter Soldier ? Does Julius Onah bring a fresh visual style to the franchise? Did Marvel choose the right villain to challenge Sam Wilson’s Cap? Finally, we’ll debate whether Brave New World stands strong as a new era for the character or if it struggles to break free from Steve Rogers’ shadow. Does the film move the MCU forward in an exciting way, or is it another formulaic installment? We’ll tackle all these questions as we dissect the movie and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!…

We’re trading in our Smart Tech polo shirts for traditional Amish garb and diving into our 265th episode as we discuss: How Harrison Ford’s performance showcases his range beyond Han Solo and Indiana Jones. The film’s blend of crime thriller and romance – does it work? In what ways was Harrison Ford the perfect actor for this role Which one of us REALLY hated the 3rd act Which actor was REALLY hated by one of us in this film Was this movie ahead of its time, or does it feel dated in 2024? Is John Book fair to Rachel in this film? Is Rachel fair to John Book? Is John Book a great protector or just dragging danger into the Amish community?

WWE Royal Rumble (2025) - Review & Reflections 3:44:36

3:44:36

Join Ian from Best Film Ever and Stew from The Stew World Order podcast as we break the BFE format by counting down to chaos at WWE Royal Rumble 2025 from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. We discuss whether the Rumble matches delivered on surprises and storytelling—or if they were just a numbers game. Did WWE make the right call in crowning their Rumble winners? How did the championship matches shake up the road to WrestleMania? We also debate the physics of a luchador dodging an elimination, whether there's a limit on deferred gratification and the Greatest Royal Rumble's hybrid identity as both canon and non-canon. We'll answer all these questions and hand out post-event superlatives celebrating the night's best (and worst).

We’re putting on our most fashionable Smart Tech polo shirts and diving into our 264th episode as we discuss: How Steve Carell’s breakout performance perfectly balances cringe and charm. The all-star supporting cast and how they elevate the comedy. The film's surprisingly heartfelt take on relationships. Does the waxing scene still hold up as one of the greatest physical comedy moments? Was this movie ahead of its time, or does it show its age in 2024? Should Andy have told Trish about his almost cheating with Beth or were they on a break? Is Trish a fair and understanding partner? How much of this movie was improvised, and does it work?

Rumble Roundtable: 1988 1:20:32

cách đây 4 weeks trước1:20:32

1:20:32

This month, we’re stepping into the squared circle to break down the very first Royal Rumble match, which aired on January 24, 1988, on the USA Network. While it wasn’t a pay-per-view event just yet, this historic match laid the foundation for one of WWE’s most beloved annual traditions. Join Ian and Stew as we revisit the 20-man battle royal that changed wrestling history. Does the original Rumble still hold up today, or does it feel like a rough draft of the chaos to come? Was it a revolutionary concept right out of the gate, or did WWE take a few years to truly perfect the formula? We’ll examine the match’s key storytelling choices—Did the right man win? How did the pacing and eliminations compare to future Rumbles? Was this truly the best way to showcase future main eventers, or was it just a fun TV special with little long-term impact? Also, our big burning questions this month: Was Jake Roberts super-over or was it the DDT that was super-over? Does Bret Hart work as a heel? Why would they put Bret in the first ironman slot as a heel. Also, why book him as a heel in Canada? We’ll also take a closer look at the match structure and in-ring action—Did the 20-man format feel too small? How did the action flow without entrance music and countdown clocks? Were there standout performances, or was this more about the novelty than match quality? And did WWE miss an opportunity by not putting this on pay-per-view? Finally, we’ll debate whether this first-ever Rumble is a must-watch piece of wrestling history or if it’s more of a curiosity for hardcore fans. Was it a game-changer at the time, or just another battle royal with a fancy name?

FIRST 26:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 26:00: Full Spoiler Review This week's See It or Skip It has us diving into the highly anticipated sequel Gladiator II (2024), now playing in theaters. Directed by Ridley Scott and starring Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, and Pedro Pascal, this follow-up to the 2000 epic seeks to recapture the grandeur and intensity of its predecessor. Join Ian and Megan as we journey back to ancient Rome to see if Gladiator II stands victorious in the Colosseum of cinematic sequels or if it falls beneath the weight of high expectations. Does it honor the legacy of the original while carving out its own identity, or does it merely retread old ground without fresh ambition? We’ll examine the film’s bold storytelling choices—Does it justify its existence nearly 25 years after the original? How does Paul Mescal fare as the new lead, and does he bring the same gravitas Russell Crowe once did? And how do Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal elevate (or overshadow) the narrative? We’ll also explore the visual spectacle and action sequences—Does Ridley Scott still reign as the master of historical epics? Are the battle sequences and cinematography breathtaking enough to rival the Academy Award-winning original? Did the filmmakers choose the wrong character to center the film around? And does the film’s score, now helmed by a new composer, evoke the same emotional resonance as Hans Zimmer’s legendary Gladiator soundtrack? Finally, we’ll debate whether Gladiator II benefits from its legendary namesake or if it struggles under the pressure of following such an iconic film. Does the weight of expectation help or hinder its storytelling? And, of course, we’ll discuss the one scene that Megan just can’t forgive—will you feel the same way? We’ll tackle all these questions as we dissect the movie and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!…
