The Ezra Klein ShowThis Conversation Made Me a Sharper EditorIn our recent series on artificial intelligence, I kept returning to a thought: This technology might be able to churn out content faster than we can, but we still need a human mind to sift through the dross and figure out what’s good. In other words, A.I. is going to turn more of us into editors.But editing is a peculiar skill. It’s hard to test for, or teach, or even describe. But it’s the crucial step in the creative process that takes work that’s decent and can turn it into something great.

2022-06-0915 minCoagula: Secrets of the Art WorldEpisode 19: The Maurizio Cattelan Basel Banana(Originally recorded December 6, 2019) Perhaps symptomatic of art world excess or merely a poetic meditation on the absurdity of concept as a commodity, Maurizio Cattelan taped a banana to a wall and priced it in six figures and brought the 2019 Art Basel Miami Beach fair to a standstill.

2022-06-0411 minCoagula: Secrets of the Art WorldEpisode 15: Was Ai Wei Wei the artist of the decade (2010 - 2019)?(Originally recorded November 20, 2019) A legendary political and cultural dissident, artist Ai Wei Wei was too big for China to kill.

2022-05-2613 minCoagula: Secrets of the Art WorldEpisode 7: Christoph Büchel Can Go To Hell(Originaly recorded June 2019) Oh isn’t it just the epitome of the contemporary art world to plop an abandoned boat on which dozens of refugees drowned into the middle of an international biennial that caters to the tastes and investments of the global one percent? The “artist” behind this, Christoph Büchel, is symptomatic of a class of artist that thinks using discarded human lie as an art medium is cool.

Sequelcast 2 and FriendsSmokey and the Bandit Part 3 (1983)Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Jersey Jason discuss Smokey and the Bandit Part 3. The Snowman (Jerry Reed) is now the Bandit (Burt Reynolds) but he still has Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason) on his tail.
The trivia behind the scenes of Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 is more interesting than the movie itself. Originally, this movie was shot with the premise that Jackie Gleason played both Smokey AND the Bandit. After poor test screening scores, much of the movie was re-shot with Snowman playing the Bandit. What I wouldn't give for that original cut of the film!
2019-03-0128 minSequelcast 2 and FriendsSmokey and the Bandit 2 (1980) (GUEST: Will Kiser Writer for The Super 8 Society)Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Jersey Jason, William Thrasher (in his first Sequelcast episode) and special guest Will Kiser (Writer for The Super 8 Society) discuss Smokey and the Bandit II. The Snowman (Jerry Reed) and the Frog (Sally Field) have to sober up the Bandit (Burt Reynolds) to deliver a crate from Miami, Florida to Dallas, Texas.
In many ways, this feels like a more family friendly remake of the original. Burt Reynolds seems tuned out reprising his role as the titular Bandit, but Jackie Gleason goes for broke playing Sheriff Buford T. Justice and two of his relatives...
2019-02-2028 minSequelcast 2 and FriendsSmokey and the Bandit (1977)Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Jersey Jason discuss Smokey and the Bandit. The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarkana. The Bandit (Burt Reynolds), the Snowman (Jerry Reed), and the Frog (Sally Field) will get them back no matter what it takes.
Director Hal Needham pushes his car crash cinema to the brink in this amiable romantic comedy. Co-star Jerry Reed performed several songs on the soundtrack which range from country classics ("Eastbound and Down") to stirring ballads ("The Bandit"). Jackie Gleason makes for a fun villain chasing after the ultra relaxed Burt Reynolds.
