Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

It’s our one-year, 43rd-episode spectacular, and we’re once again answering your questions! We go deep on the new WONG KAR-WAI restorations, our thoughts on Zach Snyder’s JUSTICE LEAGUE, the merits of handheld camera operation, film scores, not one but TWO aspect ratio rants from Devan, and more! But first, some NEWS. We’re going to be taking a bit of a hiatus, and we’re adjusting our Patreon to reflect this. In the interests of keeping the quality of this podcast high and sustainable, we’re going to take our time with the next season. It’ll be ready whenever it’s ready, but it will happen!

S3E10 - Rescuing The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with Benji Heran & Jordan Krug 1:08:21

cách đây 4 năm trước1:08:21

1:08:21

How an acclaimed director’s versions of a famous film be unavailable for decades — when there’s nothing stopping their release? How can a small group of fans gather the evidence and means to reconstruct those versions? How can they finally have a hand in its official release? Endless passion — and a lot of luck. It’s a subject and film as near and dear to our hearts as any, and we’ve brought on superfans Benji Heran and Jordan Krug to talk about the film prints, continuity scripts, and years of tireless, unpaid passion that they’ve put into preserving Sergio Leone’s The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly .…

S3E09 - Adapting Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with Tim Brayton 1:24:21

cách đây 4 năm trước1:24:21

1:24:21

Adapting literary works to the screen involves a certain amount of translation. There are certain things that are easily conveyed in writing that cannot be conveyed in a straightforward way onscreen; likewise, there are elements of cinematic language that open up new routes to expression. John Le Carre’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a useful case study in this regard: it has been the subject of two acclaimed adaptations that could not be more distinct in the toolkit each uses to translate book to screen. We’ve invited Tim Brayton, film critic at Alternate Ending , to discuss both the 1979 John Irving adaptation as well as Tomas Alfredson’s 2011 take. In this episode, we discuss: Literary accuracy versus formal expressiveness in adaptation. Focal lengths, zoom lenses, and the observational mode. 1970s BBC television house style: is it any good? Narrative obscurity. John Le Carre’s stylistic toolit as a writer and the challenges it poses for adaptations. The construction of performances through lighting and framing. Mark Strong: MVP?

S3E08 - Colour Grading with Andrea Chlebak 1:15:49

Colour grading, the art of manipulating the colour of a film digitally in post-production, is as omnipresent as it is misunderstood. To help demystify the process, we’ve invited supervising colourist Andrea Chlebak ( Mandy, An American Pickle, HBO’s The Watchmen ) to discuss the art of colour grading with us. In this episode, we discuss: Where does the colour grading process begin? Pre-production? Production? Development of multiple palettes within individual films. Digital and celluloid image capture and the implications on the colour grading process of each. The future of colour grading and digital imaging. The limits of colour correction: what can we change in post? What can’t we change? Exposure ideologies for fun and profit. If you’d like to support the show, here’s a link to our Patreon .

1:25:17

Geez, it’s been a while since we got spooky on the show, hasn’t it? High time we brought back Mike Thorn to talk about how Wes Craven fused meta storytelling and horror in two franchises: A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream . We’ll permeate the membranes of reality, disassemble Craven’s views on horror’s social and political value, and laugh about how Matthew Lillard yells “BOO-GAH” when he imitates a gunshot. Mike has a terrific new horror novel, Shelter for the Damned , that you can check out in print or e-book format directly through Journalstone , or you can find it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Walmart.…

1:11:45

An Anti-Masterpiece is, as defined by our own Will Ross, is “an astonishing, essential work of art in spite of a distinct lack of conventional competence on the part of its makers”. After Last Season by Mark Region is one such film, and we’ve invited filmmaker Bram Ruiter to discuss it with us. In what is very much not a “bad movie” episode, we attempt to grapple with the nature of outsider art. In this episode, we discuss: The value of different competent cinema. The many, many mysteries behind the production of After Last Season More realism in cinema: Mark Region’s seeming insistence on pushing the boundaries of acceptable cinematic ‘reality’.

For this episode our Associate Producer Paige Smith has relieved Devan and Will of hosting duties so that she can talk about Eighth Grade ’s depiction and use of the Internet — and she’s brought on two friends who survived eighth grade with her, Bronwyn Henderson and Brietta Stewart. It's both a dive into how the film interweaves screens and scrolling with its characters and dramatic presentation, and a personal reflection on how strange and hard it is to grow up — and how much "growing up" has changed.…

S3e03 - Documentary Verite with Sophy Romvari 1:14:14

cách đây 4 năm trước1:14:14

1:14:14

In part two of our Verite series we discuss truth in documentary filmmaking with returning guest Sophy Romvari . Sophy’s films have increasingly blurred the line between fact and fiction and are often classified as ‘hybrid’ documentaries. What can we learn from this type of fusion cinema? We go deep on the existential questions that inevitably ensue when one claims to be telling a ‘truth’ and explore the various ways different filmmakers have sought to build ideological frameworks for reaching their truths. In this episode, we discuss: Documentary, the genre: a contract? ‘Hybrid’ documentary and the mix of fact and fiction Cinema Verite and Direct Cinema: they’re different! The Ecstatic Truth and Werner Herzog Errol Morris’ epistemological meat grinder: is truth connected with style? Kirsten Johnson and Cameraperson Ethical representation of documentary subjects.
