Podcaster Profiles: Aileen Merciel & Glenda Pacanins -- Surfing Corporate Podcast

Podcaster Profiles has a simple goal: highlight, spotlight, focus on: the indie podcasters who are the heart and soul of podcasting.

Indie podcasters wear more hats than any network-supported podcaster. They are creator, writer, producer, sound engineer, I.T. troubleshooter, researcher, host, distribution pro, marketing guru, public relations professional, and, most important of all, financial backer for the podcast.

In each article, we'll ask the person being profiled why they became involved in podcasting, how did they become skilled, review their public bio, ask them to tell us something not in their public bio, any passions other than podcasting, and their future plans in podcasting.

We are starting with one of the best in independent podcasting. A superb podcast about corporate life called Surfing Corporate. In September 2021, Aileen Merciel and Glenda Pacanins started the Surfing Corporate podcast. Aileen and Glenda define success and hard work. These two women rose to become senior vice presidents in major corporations in an era where corporate life wasn't exactly female friendly. I'm not sure if the workplace has miraculously been remade into a safe and accepting place for women. However, women like Aileen and Glenda have made it better.

Their podcast's elevator pitch is: "Hosted by Aileen Merciel and Glenda Pacanins, former media executives who have experienced first-hand what really goes on behind fancy corporate doors (and have a slightly evil sense of humor), this podcast aims to entertain as well as provide practical advice to employees who are currently navigating turbulent corporate waters."

The show lives up to its promise. It's engaging, has a sense of humor, describes the incongruities of corporate life, and offers solutions.

These two former Senior VPs wanted to start and sustain an independent podcast about managing life in a corporate environment.

Aileen A. Merciel (AM) was a Senior Vice President, Marketing & Creative – NBC Universal, Telemundo Enterprise.

Merciel is a Venezuelan-American media executive who started out in Sony Pictures Entertainment Networks Latin America Venezuela as an On-Air Promotions Producer. She held corporate positions in Venezuela, Mexico, and the U.S. On the podcast's website, it says: "Coming from a creative background, Aileen was not blessed with a nose for office politics."

Glenda Pacanins (GP) was a Senior Vice President, Programming and Content Strategy NBC Universal, Telemundo Enterprises.

After working in corporate for over 20 years, Glenda Pacanins is a self-described “recovering suit,” although she still can’t stop wearing heels to podcast recordings and PTA meetings.

Unlike Aileen, Glenda somehow managed to surf corporate relatively well. Again, the podcast's website says: "She is fluent in English, Spanish, and most importantly, corporate bullsh*t." Aileen gives us an insight into starting the podcast: "I began developing Surfing Corporate as I was recovering from a life-threatening surgery due to ––surprise!–– work-related stress. [CUE DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECT]. After years of working intense 16-hour days, I was forced to hit the pause button, sit in great discomfort with myself and my life choices, and ask myself the hard questions I never 'had time' to ask before: 'Why had I allowed work to jeopardize my physical and mental health? Why didn’t I set boundaries? Why hadn’t I been able to handle the stress better?' and, 'Why is Ryan Reynolds so dreamy?'"

Glenda chimes in and observes: "From the moment Aileen spoke to me about Surfing Corporate, I knew it was the kind of content that corporate beings like me needed to have." Glenda continues: "At that point, I had been reading Harvard Business Review and Fast Company for years, but I had always wished there was business/career-related content that was insightful, but also honest, relatable, and, in a perfect world, entertaining, and there was Aileen telling me all about her vision for Surfing Corporate! Clearly, I had to become a big cheerleader for her to put it out into the world!" When you listen to the podcast, you will hear the bond between these two successful women.

Glenda says: "I had no doubt that, sooner or later, Surfing Corporate was going to get traction and start gaining a following because I absolutely believed in Aileen and in her vision for what she wanted to do with the brand. I didn’t have Aileen’s perspective of questioning things and finding absurdity in both the mundane and extreme parts of working in Corporate America. So when she asked me to join her in hosting the podcast, I thought she was nuts because I couldn’t wrap my head around what could I possibly add to the equation." Glenda then admits what many of us are loath to ignore: "I am hardwired to fear failure, so putting myself out there like that was a huge risk. Needless to say, I am incredibly grateful that Aileen somehow saw something in me and knew that I could and should do it, and didn’t give up on trying to convince me."

Aileen discusses their backgrounds: "Glenda and I both come from legacy media, so we knew how to create, develop, and market a TV show, but we knew nothing about podcasts. We had no idea how podcasting worked or what it took to produce, edit, or market a podcast." Aileen continues: "So I did what I always do in situations like this: I went down a rabbit hole of research, listening to multiple podcast shows and formats, and taking note of everything: Why did I gravitate towards certain hosts and not others? What type of co-host dynamics kept me hooked? What formats are more appealing to me and why? What existing podcasts could serve as an inspiration for Surfing Corporate?"

Glenda remembers the first episode they recorded: "Expanding my list of go-to podcasts was really important because up until then, I mainly listened to podcasts from NPR and The New York Times. That’s why for the very first episode we ever recorded, Aileen had a moment of panic when I started recording because I was inadvertently channeling a news host. I was not at all being myself, and it was not at all the tone we needed for Surfing Corporate." "After a few takes of Aileen politely telling me to record the intro again and again, she basically had to ask me point-blank to actually try to speak like I wasn’t dead inside. Thankfully, that was all before our big VP guest joined us in the studio, so I was definitely more comfortable and more myself by the time the interview portion was recorded."

Glenda recounts the dream that all independent podcasters have.

"I truly believed that if you poured your heart into making great content, the audience would somehow find you. We really underestimated how difficult discoverability is in the podcast space, especially when you have no marketing budget. Luckily, Aileen devoted herself 110% to building the Instagram account while also working full-time on the podcast, so we could try to get some traction going. She even rolled out a Surfing Corporate newsletter to get another touchpoint established for the brand and our fans." Aileen thanks the fans of the podcast for their positive feedback.

"What kept us going was receiving DMs from people across the globe telling us how much they loved the show, how much they were learning from us, and that we made them laugh. And it was all word of mouth: someone who listened by chance and recommended our pod to their colleagues or friends. After decades of working so hard to hit ratings numbers for a show premiere, this felt so much more meaningful." Aileen and Glenda have received recognition for their outstanding work, being nominated for the Ambies and winning Best Workplace podcast for the Ear Worthy Independent podcast Awards. Surfing Corporate debuts a new season on September 18th, and since I was fortunate enough to get a sneak preview, I must say it is their best season so far, with some unique episodes.

In one episode, Aileen and Glenda challenge the traditional view of categorizing bosses as either good or bad, focusing instead on those who embody both traits. Leaders who can be inspiring and brilliant, but also mean and volatile. Join them as they explore the psychology behind these unpredictable corporate characters.

So, what are Aileen and Glenda doing now? Recording their new season, of course. For indie podcasters, a day should have more than 24 hours because they need so much time to put together the show. Unlike celebrities on Spotify or iHeart who have "people," Aileen and Glenda are their "people."

It's the whole "buck stops with"... thing.

Finally, Aileen wanted readers to know that she enjoys tormenting her 12-year-old daughter by using middle-school slang in front of her friends. #Skibbidy #Rizz #Sigma

Check out Surfing Corporate, which debuts a new season on September 18th. In this new season, Aileen and Glenda certainly "Left No Crumbs" which is tween slang for someone who did something so well..."

RADAR ANON …… Harry is alive and well enjoying the companionship of friends in the Home Counties. A few trusted families of ex-soldiers and trusted colleagues are cosseting him from prying eyes while his rehabilitation continues. His conversations with HMTQ over Christmas has had positive results. MM is not with him. (Reliable sources.)

Thank you for joining us! We are very happy! This is wonderful news!😊❤️❤️❤️❤️

———-

Jan 04

RADAR ANON , The establishment of learning for the young Cambridge clan is in the throes of Security evaluations. The BOG and PTA will instigate an assessment of future proceedings. Why was a known dealer of suspect provenance allowed to live with impunity a few hundred yards away??????

Jan 04

RADAR ANON, A certain south London establishment for the education of the young Well-heeled are re-evaluating Security. The BOG and parents to meet soon. Protectionoffice

—————

Jan 05

RADAR ANON, PA seems to have pressed the self destruct button ( again) disassociating his (partnership) with his former wife. His association with his latest yachting squeeze is going to prove a tad detrimental after the PR guru representing her sells her lurid story to the highest bidding tabloid

——————

Jan 06

RADAR ANON, Body language will be everything, expect a sub-serviant Harry,a pushy nutmeg and with luck she could even appear with the elusive sprog. A large security presence and the three people in the crowd kept at bay. Will anyone in the public raise a placard. Mmmmmm, interesting!!

Jan 06

RADAR ANON, Two days back and a “ ThankYou visit to Canada House????? This smells of a fabricated cover up. BP involved?? Something is not quite kosher!! No cover up like a very expensive cover up, smell that ……………… it smells of Bullshit!

——————

Jan 08

RADAR ANON, MM &PH are being asked to scale back all appearances. BP will in future arrange appointments on a month by month basis to avoid clashes with the royal diary. The D&DOS will only carry out appearances when BP gives confirmation.

————-

Jan 09

RADAR ANON, BP regroup to formulate a response to H&Ms treasonous insult to HMTQ. This all started when TQ never titled Harry’s ((son)). The old slapper thought TQ was going to title archificial a Prince 🤣🤣🤣🤣That’s why they chose the name archificial ,a dogs name!! Now she can return to poor acting and doing commercials. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

————-

Jan 12

RADAR ANON , This lying grifting wh*** is a boil on the ass of the royal family. She need never to return. Harry is complicit with her , a tell all expose. WTF. what happens inside the walls of the royal family STAYS THERE. This is treason and the public are crying for blood. She’s a trash coward , always runs , the inept POS.

————-

Jan 13

RADAR ANON,…………… HARRY AND MEGHAN, Not the D&D of Sussex ………… a non statement from HMTQ, typically ambiguous and non specific. Reading between the ambiguity TQ is probably ready to strip them of their titles 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

—————

Jan 13

RADAR ANON, MM and DRUGS, serious question!! What sort of drugs are in nutmegs possession, uppers , downers , twisters , benders?? She always appears as if she’s ON something?? Appears like a hyperactive gerbil or a zombie,never appears genuine like Kate , nutmeg is well known for her “HABITS” and this lifestyle is up for question. LG please investigate.

—————-

Jan 15

RADAR ANON, golf interview, “she’s already had a kid” DO YOU HERE THAT DM. ???? Where’s the mainstream press ?? Give them the revaluations of those ten missing years, what happened? There was gossip of umpteen abortions. And she married in white 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

------------

Jan 16

RADAR ANON, It flew to a woman shelter!! Ehhh?? This opportunistic PR exercise is straight out of the cringe playbook. Go to a poor area, check!! Make sure it’s a woman shelter ,check!! ( why not a men’s shelter) phone paps ahead of visit to give them heads up for photo op, check!! look concerned and smile inanely, check!! This repetitive behaviour is becoming a tad boring. 🙄🙄🙄

————

Jan 16

RADAR ANON, Harry attending a rugby commitment at BP , hardly a public appearance, surrounded by sycophants, and looking sheepish , he returns to the old slapper next week ,at their 14 million pound hideaway, it’s a hard life. Shit all over your birthright after marriage to a grifting hoe then abandon the hand that fed you. What gratitude!! Unless skippy is right and he’s just “ playing a game”. Time will tell.

hi, i just wanted to say i loved your high school au post! all the headcanons were perfection lmao. i was wondering what headcanons you would have for padme? she was only mentioned so i wonder...

ANON! THANK YOU FOR ASKING!

i’m gonna be a basic bitch and start off with how i imagine her looking and her style and whatnot becuase YES

i think we can all agree that padme would be fucking breathtaking???

her whole style is this really pretty white flowery aesthetic sort of thing

and i know her hair is always super long and in these crazy ridicoulous styles, but imagine - padme with a bob? or shoulder length hair?

maybe like mini-braids and a bun sort of thing

the glossier makeup brand? that’s her main bro

sparkly, glossy, cloud blush sort of makeup!

and i’m a whore for padme in glasses so there’s definitely that too.

her and obi-wan do the little anime pushy-up glasses thing together!

anakin finds it both sickening and incredibly attractive that his girlfriend knows anime memes

so now into the whole high school thing ya know?

so, padme is a senior

and she’s this super talented, popular, independent badass right?

applying to really good schools (she wants to get into stanford)

she’s president of the debate club, and has been best friends with the co-leader, riyo chuchi, since they were in like kindergarten

padme has gone head to head with the school board over the amount of pressure and stress palpatine is putting on the students

hell, she’s gone head to head with the pta, and you know damn well she kicked lott dod’s ass at the last meeting

anakin will go to those meetings just to see padme own everyone

and her vocabulary outranks all of the parents, so she’ll be outsmarting and out-arguing them and the parents just can’t understand shit

she’s in the most advanced english and social studies courses

her, obi-wan and cody both share mr. windu as their english teacher

windu doesn’t want to admit it, but that trio are his favorite students

she helps cody with notes for obi-wan when he just passes out

and padme + obi-wan take ap government

those two on the same team together, anime glasses and everything?

you should be scared.

padme tried to get obi-wan to join the debate team, but he spends most of his time after school supporting cody in his football adventures

now some extra shiiiit

she takes self defense and martial arts outside of school

her and ahsoka have sparring matches sometimes if both of them are just chilling out and want to impress some random ass teenagers

also? she can fucking sing bro

a beauty guru who can sing? +100k followers my dude

anakin is so god damn lucky

I know a shonwu Guru who is VERY VERY happy right now lol

What a lovely and sweet imagery to start the day with and how fabulous it really will be for the lucky lady that is the target of his heart when they have kids in school and he does have to go to parents nights, school shows, pta meetings and such. I hope she can giggle when the others blush and fawn around him.

Well done again chelle 💖

Hi, Chelle!!!! Request for a drabble of PTA dad Shownu that is oblivious to the stares and shameless flirting from the moms at the meetings because he only has eyes for you 😍

Hey hey! This will be fun! It also ended up being a bit long, darn it. I got carried away!

Pairing: Son Hyunwoo x reader

Word count: 331

______________________

You couldn’t believe the way the rest of the PTA attendees were behaving. All Hyunwoo had done was rearrange his glasses over the bridge of his nose and roll up his sleeves. You had to admit, you weren’t made of stone either. Minhyuk’s father was physically attractive.

And entirely clueless.

“Would you really?” one mother oozed at his offer to help set up stalls for the bake fair.

“You’re seriously the kindest, Hyunwoo. My husband flat out refuses to help me do anything for school events. What a treat it is to have you.”

You rolled your eyes at the various nods and open praises for the solo father. And as the meeting continued, it only got worse, Denise offered him more fruit cake than she had allowed you to eat all year long, Sharon was not subtle at all when she grabbed onto his lower arm and exclaimed how firm it was and you were certain Kelly was on the verge of a mental breakdown after the smile he shot her. It concerned you. Is this what marriage was meant to look like?

“Hey,” Hyunwoo called when the meeting was adjourned, jogging up to you and out of the jungle of women who had circled him like their prey just now. You were surprised, you had expected him to be stuck there for some time. He smiled down at you, a little breathless. “You doing anything now?”

“The meeting is over so that means this teacher can finally go home.”

“Did you eat before coming tonight?”

“No, I finished marking essays late, is everything okay?”

Running a hand through his hair, Hyunwoo nodded. “It would be better I could take you out to dinner?”

“Are you serious?”

“Do you not want to?” Hyunwoo asked dejectedly and you smiled, shaking your hands in dismissal.

“Is that why you let it happen?”

“Let what?” he wondered and you grinned, shaking your head this time.

At least he wasn’t clueless about liking you.

______________________

My ask box is open for this week’s Chelle Chats!

18 Things Happy People Never Do (So You Shouldn’t Either)

BY CHARLOTTE HILTON ANDERSEN

How many of these tiny, everyday things are you doing that could be slowly destroying your happiness?

Stress over their love handles

SUPAWAT BURSUK/SHUTTERSTOCK

Our culture is saturated with images of “ideal” human bodies so it’s totally understandable if the way you see your body is depressing you. But the key to feeling happy isn’t to change your body until it’s perfect (spoiler alert: there’s no such thing), but to learn to love your imperfections, says Erin Olivo, PhD, a clinical psychologist, Columbia University Assistant Professor of Medical Psychology, and author of Wise Mind Living: Master Your Emotions, Transform Your Life. “I ask all my patients to make a list of what they think makes a person valuable and worthy of love,” she says. “Appearance is almost never on that list, yet when I ask them to list the things they think make them unworthy of happiness, appearance is often the top answer.” Bottom line: Your happiness should not be dependent on your appearance. Need more? Try these unusual ways to make yourself feel happy.

Give people the silent treatment

HEDGEHOG94/SHUTTERSTOCK

When you’re hurting it’s natural to want to withdraw but unhappy people make a pattern of punishing others by being cold and silent. The secret to happiness? Talk! “Everyone has a fear of not being loved, but happy people learn to directly ask for (and hopefully receive) love,” says Todd Pressman, PhD, licensed psychologist, speaker, and author. “Even if you don’t get the answer you want, you will discover that your fear of not being loved is not the ‘monster’ you thought it was, and this by itself is powerfully healing.”

Make the same mistake over and over

SANNEBERG/SHUTTERSTOCK

It’s not that happy people never screw up (oh, if only that were possible!) but rather that when they do make a mistake, they learn from it and move on, says Amy Benton, social worker, life coach and owner of Thrive Life Coaching. Too many of us cling to bad habits, even if they’re making us miserable in the long run. “Letting go of past habits is a huge barrier to happiness that you need to overcome if you want to change and experience growth and joy in your life,” she says. Not sure where to start? Pick one of these 50 tiny changes that will make you a happier person today.

Be so afraid of falling that they never jump

EPICSTOCKMEDIA/SHUTTERSTOCK

Perfectionism and fear of failure go hand-in-hand… for miserable people, anyhow. Happy people may feel afraid of trying something new or taking a risk but they understand they have to move past the fear if they want to succeed, Benton says. Unhappy folks, on the other hand, hide behind their fear of failure and then feel proven right when they don’t reach their goals.

Procrastinate until the very last minute

MARVENT/SHUTTERSTOCK

Procrastinating doing something unpleasant or difficult may feel like it’s making you happy in the short run (because, hey, you’re not doing whatever it is you don’t want to do!). But happy folks don’t procrastinate, recognizing that the fleeting relief now will be overshadowed by the dread and fear of the looming deadline. Just can’t help yourself? “Commit to concentrate on doing a task for just 15 minutes after which you can take a break if you need to,” says Hoan Do, a life and success coach. But often you won’t need that break and will be able to keep on working. Or try one of these tricks every procrastinator should know.

Play the victim (even if they are)

Has someone done you wrong? Probably, it happens to all of us, but when it comes to happiness that isn’t the point, Do says. “Happy people don’t blame others, they take responsibility for themselves,” Do says. “To be happy you need to switch from a victim mindset to a creative mindset because creators have choices and power—victims don’t.”

Are you overworked and overwhelmed? That’s a fast-track to misery and yet so many of us feel like we just can’t say no and take on way too much, Do says. “I see a lot of people who are always multitasking and think they are good at it but the truth is they often get less done overall.” Happy people focus on their priorities and what the most valuable use of their time is, Do adds. Another easy tip? Try these 10 unexpected ways to dress happier.

Weigh all opinions equally

Just because someone says it doesn’t mean you have to believe it—especially if they are talking about you! Happy people are able to identify those whose opinion and advice means the most to them and block out the rest (even if it’s well-intentioned). “Only take life advice from people you admire and would want to be in their shoes,” says Gina Marotta, life coach and founder of The Genius Guru.

Do something without asking, “Why?” first

How often do you do something simply because you’re asked to do it? Plenty of us go through life blindly, going from one “emergency” to the next without ever taking the time to figure out why it’s so important, Marotta says. “Happy people discover the deeper purpose in what they are doing and act consistent with that goal,” she explains. “When you act from a sense of higher calling, you bring an energy and joy to your work and life, even when things are tough.” You can even write your purpose down—it’s one of the 10 things happy people do daily.

Lose hope (at least not for long)

When life’s storms eventually hit, you can focus on the hurricane surrounding you or you can look for the reprieve coming eventually. The former will keep you feeling trapped and beaten down while the latter will keep you moving you forward no matter what, Marotta says. “Be patient. Hang in there. Repeat to yourself ‘It will work out.’ And it will,” she adds.

“Should” all over themselves

Doing something for others will always feel like work but do that same task for yourself and it will feel like joy. “The ‘should’ shouldn’t make you feel bad,” says Megan Bearce, licensed marriage and family therapist. “I often hear things like ‘I should be thinner’ or ‘I should go to law school.’ I always ask them whose ‘should’ is that? Whose ruler are you measuring yourself with? If you do it, will it lead you toward your goals or make you unhappy or resentful?” In a relationship rut? Check out this surprising advice from happy couples.

Use these two words

Is your to-do list bumming you out? Happy people accomplish their daily goals without getting overwhelmed by making this tiny one-word change: “Every time you have to get something done, change ‘I should’ to ‘I want’,” says Roger Ziegler, a counselor and life coach. Say it out loud and as many times as it takes to help you believe it. It’s subtle but changing your intention can change how sad or happy a task makes you feel.

Ignore their dreams

Obviously happy people pay attention to their dreams in life and take time to write down their goals but the same is true for the nocturnal variety as well, Ziegler says. “You can use your dreams as a life guide to help you find happiness,” he says. “Ask yourself a question before you go to bed and when you wake up, record your answer in a notebook by your bed.” You’ll be amazed at how well your subconscious knows what you need to be happy. Dreams can also make you feel nostalgic, another key to happiness.

Call themselves names

WAYHOME STUDIO/SHUTTERSTOCK

When you make a mistake is your automatic response “I’m such an idiot!” or “Why am I so stupid?” or “Bad things always happen to me!”? Berating yourself does you no good, says Akshay Nanavati, life coach, author, and creator of Fearvana. It’s fine to feel painful feelings and be upset but don’t assign a value judgment to your feelings. “The single greatest mental ailment that unhappy people suffer from is passing judgment on their emotions,” he says. “Neuroscience has shown we don’t control our feelings but rather how we respond to them.” Bottom line: Stop the shame spiral before it starts.

Need everyone to love them

DEAN DROBOT/SHUTTERSTOCK

Being loved by every single person you meet may sound awesome but in reality, it’s likely evidence that you’re a people-pleaser, so focused on what others think that you lose your own sense of self. To be truly happy you have to accept yourself first and then reach out to others, understanding that not everyone will like you and that’s fine, says Kelsey Silver, licensed marriage and family counselor and author of Crack the Social Code. “When you maximize your own feelings of self-acceptance and confidence you figuratively glow and attract others to you,” she says.

Let their health go

ANATOLIY KARLYUK/SHUTTERSTOCK

Physical and mental health are inseparable so if you want to feel happy you need to take care of your body, says Katherine Schafler, LMHC, a licensed therapist. This doesn’t mean achieving some unattainable standard of perfection with six-pack abs and luxurious hair. Rather, happy people take the time to care for themselves by eating nutritious food and exercising. “Your body is all yours,” she says. “It’s yours to enjoy, nourish, touch, energize, lull to sleep and love. Your amazing body will take you wherever you want to go, and if you want to go far, you need to take care of it.”

Forget their blessings

ELDAR NURKOVIC/SHUTTERSTOCK

“The first thing I do every morning is recite three things I’m grateful for out loud,” says Zen Cachola, life coach and founder of Aspired Steps. One of the best things you can do to feel instantly happier is to forget about having what you want and focus on wanting what you have. This is the one secret science says is necessary for a happy life.

Ditch their bucket list

PKPIX/SHUTTERSTOCK

Happy people are often list-makers, says Kayce Hodos, a licensed professional counselor. And with good reason: “Make lists of places you want to visit, things you want to learn, accomplishments you’ve made, goals for the future,” she says. “This will help you visualize the life you want and what you can do to achieve it.” Read on to find out the 13 things homes of happy people have in common.

All 8 Paul Thomas Anderson Film Ranked Worst to Greatest (Images)

New Post has been published on https://takenews.net/all-8-paul-thomas-anderson-film-ranked-worst-to-greatest-images/

All 8 Paul Thomas Anderson Film Ranked Worst to Greatest (Images)

One of the crucial acclaimed administrators below the age of 50, Paul Thomas Anderson is a grasp of character-driven dramas. He’s recognized for working with a few of the world’s best actors in movies about obsessive males. A few of these males are obsessive about such predictable vices as playing (“Onerous Eight”), porn (“Boogie Nights”) and medicines (“Inherent Vice”).

The poison of different obsessive males in Anderson’s movies has been extra complicated — a mind-controlling non secular cult (“The Grasp”), the oil trade (“There Might be Blood”), sexual politics (“Magnolia”) and haute-couture dressmaking (“Phantom Thread”). Anderson’s actors by no means disappoint, however sometimes his dramas do. We check out the eight movies PTA has made in a bit over twenty years, and price them worst to greatest.

eight. “Inherent Vice” (2014) • Followers insist the movie requires a minimum of two viewings, however the concept feels extra like punishment than enlightenment. Perhaps it’s solely value watching this cannabis-infused story of 1970s stoner life with adequate weed at hand. This incoherent, absurdist examination of capitalist extra could put all however diehards off. A few of which may be attributable to Thomas Pynchon’s dense supply materials — to which Anderson was notably trustworthy, notably in a lot of the dialogue — however the filmmaker’s interpretation of the noir novel’s plot feels muddled and tedious, regardless of the all-star forged which incorporates Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro.

7. “Phantom Thread” (2017) • Whereas it is a much less fashionable view, it might be as a result of most movie critics are males who regard the obsessions of an ill-tempered and egocentric dandy intriguing, whereas girls could discover it tiresome. And even offensive. The story of an abusive genius appears notably ill-timed on this #MeToo period. Whereas the manufacturing design is lavishly brocaded, the performing (particularly by Daniel Day-Lewis as self-absorbed dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock) is masterful, the story feels too off-putting to work as a romantic drama. We all know too little about Woodcock’s motivations or internal life. We solely know that he’s massively controlling, simply irritated and excessively irritating. Let’s hope it’s probably not Daniel Day Lewis’ final performing function.

6. “The Grasp” (2012) • It’s bittersweet to look at this character research of a charismatic cult chief now, after the passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman. Hoffman is enthralling within the title function, patterned after Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Joaquin Phoenix can be compelling. The bold movie, nonetheless, is uneven. It has moments which are lovely rendered and deeply haunting, bolstered by luxurious cinematography, and others which are enigmatic to the purpose of infuriating. It’s each too sprawling and but doesn’t present sufficient character improvement. Facet tales don’t appear to go wherever amid unanswered motivational questions.

5.”Onerous Eight” (1996) • PTA’s assured, but low-key first function starred actors who grew to become his common ensemble gamers in his first few motion pictures — Philip Seymour Hoffman, John C. Reilly, Luis Guzmán, Philip Baker Corridor. Corridor, notably, is without doubt one of the best-ever character actors. And but awards honoring Corridor’s skills have mystifyingly eluded him, although his two SAG nominations got here as a part of Anderson’s ensemble casts (“Boogie Nights” and “Magnolia”). Corridor’s humanity shines by way of right here. The movie additionally lent gravitas to a younger Gwyneth Paltrow and included then-up-and-coming actors like Samuel L. Jackson. The dialogue is sharp and unstrained, the characters compelling, and the performances memorable.

four. “Punch-Drunk Love” (2002) • Although recognized greatest for its stunt casting of Adam Sandler in a critical function, this oddly shifting comedy truly showcases the comedian actor’s astonishing performing capacity in a movie that blends drama and comedy. Positive, it might be the film that Sandler haters level to as his solely tolerable one, but it surely’s excess of that. Sandler performs a lonely, socially awkward plumbing salesman. He has an obsessive streak — to amass one million frequent-flier miles — and is susceptible to occasional sudden bursts of mood. Then he meets a lady he can love in Emily Watson, whose character, sadly, isn’t effectively sufficient developed. However that is the one Anderson film that clocks in below 90 minutes and that may be categorized as a rom-com, albeit one with a melancholy and unsettling underbelly.

three. “There Might be Blood” (2007) • An epic story of a rapacious oil pioneer, performed impeccably by Daniel Day-Lewis, it’s a supremely American movie: sprawling, relentless and centered on a person’s insatiable appetites. Day-Lewis’ Daniel Plainview will cease at nothing to achieve his purpose. He’s past misleading and manipulative, ultimately leaving the realm of sanity. Loosely based mostly on Upton Sinclair’s novel “Oil!” — which was loosely based mostly on the lifetime of oilman Edwin Doheny — this story of false prophets and big income is in the end a form of parable. The vistas are fantastically composed by common Anderson cinematographer Robert Elswit. Gorgeous twists abound; the ending will stick with viewers lengthy afterward. It’s Anderson’s “Citizen Kane,” brilliantly demonstrating his uncompromising and singular imaginative and prescient.

2. “Boogie Nights” (1997) • The movie that put PTA on the map, it’s a captivating, electrically charged and totally entertaining exploration of the world of porn movie manufacturing within the San Fernando Valley within the late 1970s. It manages to be equal elements unflinching portrait and humanist saga, all of the whereas stuffed with grace and magnificence. Its wide-ranging forged included veteran actors like Burt Reynolds, Julianne Moore and Alfred Molina and star-making roles for then-newcomers Heather Graham and the pop star previously often known as Marky Mark. Different notable performances by Don Cheadle, Luis Guzmán, Philip Seymour Hoffman and John C. Reilly rounded out this sweeping, exuberant, unique and totally involving yarn that palpably evoked the disco period. It was the film everybody was speaking about 20 years in the past, and it holds up brilliantly.

1. “Magnolia” (1999) • A multi-layered, exhilarating, and deeply shifting movie concerning the interconnections between individuals in disaster, that is Anderson’s masterpiece. Massively bold, it might even be essentially the most divisive of his movies. Face it, you both love or hate the biblical rain of frogs set to an Aimee Mann tune. However for many people, that scene is transcendent, and the movie is definitely one of the vital highly effective, emotional film experiences ever. As a plus, it options the all-time efficiency by Tom Cruise (and an entire departure for the motion star) as a bombastic and misogynist MRA guru. It’s additionally the final big-screen efficiency by the good Jason Robards as, fittingly, a dying man. The person’s raging younger spouse is indelibly performed by Julianne Moore, and his dutiful, sad-eyed nurse is fantastically portrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffman. John C. Reilly’s cop and the coke-addled lady he tries to avoid wasting, performed by Melora Walters, are heart-wrenching. The fashion of interweaving, overlapping tales and sluggish reveals is paying homage to Robert Altman. As soon as we piece the whole lot collectively, we’re left shaken and deeply stirred by this astonishing mosaic of misplaced and broken souls.

THE MIRACLES OF LIFE.

MIRACLES OF LIFE.

We ran into a friend who recently gave birth to a baby boy. It is really warm, so we had a chance to see the little bundle of joy in all his glory, sleeping peacefully in his pram, his little arms and legs all over the place, his six weeks of life on this planet Earth not giving him a care in the world yet. Since in my town I am regarded as a sort of a guru, the mother anxiously asked my opinion on the subject which clearly gave her a lot of worry. “I just turned 45, people say it’s very late to have a baby! And how do I look?” I know that her older son is 22; this one came rather as a surprise. And of course we are not movie stars who may have children at the age of fifty due to the miracles of modern science and their wealth. Yes, and people would comment on anything. I gave my husband a surreptitious look, and we chorused, “You look wonderful!” I added sincerely: “ANY new mother looks exhausted, underslept and very happy. This is the way you look too!” Then I cited a few of my other friends and acquaintances who had children quite late in life. Some of them had their first child when they were over forty, others had the same sort of unexpected surprise and decided to go ahead. Naturally it is much more difficult to become a mother (again) when you are not twenty or thirty anymore. Our brains are fine but our bodies are different. So we may do things a bit slower, feel the effects of the lack of sleep more, take more time to lose that weight. So what? Having a baby gives us new perspectives, new aims, even a new focus. We want to look fine at all those future PTA meetings so that our teenager does not cringe or get comments on how “old” their parents are. We want to be able to dance at our youngest child’s wedding, right? We have to gradually figure out a whole new modus vivendi, a sensible schedule, a new regime. Caring for the baby is a continuous workout in itself. It may take us a year to lose the weight for instance, which is actually what Nature itself decreed a zillion years ago. Very young mothers snap back into shape much faster; age has its own demands. Ah, the joy of fitting into your favorite pair of jeans again when the baby turns one year old! It’s as good a goal as any. Walk around with a stroller, run after the never-stopping energetic toddler, and you’ll be fine. I am genetically blessed in at least one respect: my hair does not turn grey. Grey or white hair is the one factor which adds years to one’s appearance. If your hair is turning grey, check it occasionally and make this one concession to your aversion to artificial stuff. Dye your hair regularly, better into your natural hue. I have a friend whose hair became grey when she was twenty five; she’s being coloring it ever since. When she became pregnant with her second child after she turned forty, she fretted about it a lot because she could not dye her hair for several months. She kept asking me if she looked “too old” for her condition, and I kept telling her she looked fine. Which she did by the way. Nobody looked at her head while she was carrying; people saw only her growing belly. I think that our perceptions are changing not only due to the advances in medicine which allow women to have children at a much later age than in the previous centuries. In developed countries life expectancy is much longer now than it ever was. It stands to reason that if a sprightly octogenarian does not surprise anyone anymore, fort really is becoming the new twenty. Or maybe the new thirty. Lots of women of my mother’s generation became grandmothers when they were forty or forty five. Now a growing number of women become mothers at the same age. They have a good career, a number of fruitful working years behind them; the family often has a house, a car and all the things necessary. They know how to plan. In short, they can afford to have a child and give it a good upbringing, a good education in the future.

I would say that it is a positive sign when a woman can make her choices. Probably the fact that now one can see mothers of different ages at the same playground is creating a new atmosphere in the society. Younger women would eagerly ask for advice and share their own new experiences. Older ones would share the wisdom they accumulated and move around more. It is a very nice outlook for those around too. What do we see when we meet a woman who is pushing a stroller? A young mother. We don’t notice her age. We just see a continuation, the Miracles of Life.
