- Mike Daisey has a bone to pick with Steve Jobs.* Doesn't matter that, recently, the latter resigned his role at Apple. Mike still believes there are serious ethical, if not legal, improprieties taken by Apple in the manufacturing of iPads, iPhones, MacBooks, heck, all electronics. In this episode of The High Bar, master monologist Mike Daisey, joins host Warren Etheredge to raise a toast to and raise the bar for... corporate accountability.
- Hold on, there really is no use in beating yourself up? Not according to the erudite and effervescent Kristin Neff, PhD who chronicles the reverse psychology in her best-selling book, Self-Compassion.
- Lynn Shelton is the next great American director, according to Deadspin. And whether you are ready to embrace the hyperbole or not, it is inarguable the Seattle-based filmmaker has carved her name on the festival circuit, and beyond, by being true to her own distinct aesthetic. Lynn has created an extended family of movie-makers who share her passion for honest, low-octane narratives (HUMPDAY; WE GO WAY BACK; MY EFFORTLESS BRILLIANCE), all of which have charmed many critics and audiences. Lynn's latest, YOUR SISTER'S SISTER, builds upon her semi-improvisational ethos with a bigger name cast including Emily Blunt (never lovelier nor more natural), Rosemarie Dewitt (under-appreciated) and indie stalwart Mark Duplass (redefining charisma for a generation). Today, she joins me at The High Bar to raise a toast to and raise the bar for the quality that sets her and those who would be crowned with superlatives apart from the rest... artistic vision.
- The problem with great writers is that they often tease us with their talent; they'll write a great book or two then slowly slip away. No doubt, Ken Kesey was a masterful writer. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Neststands up as a classic and Sometimes a Great Notion deserves honorable mention. Yet despite these time-capsule treasures and Tom Wolfe's portrait of Kesey in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, too few know the writer and his rowdy, ribald Merry Band of Pranksters that crossed the country in 1964 in search of the World's Fair, unconventional affairs and other-worldly experiences. Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney(TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE; ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM) visits The High Bar to raise a toast to and raise the bar for - Ken Kesey. This is a high-spirited salute to the memory and the mania of the influential author through conversation and by way of Gibney's eye-opening documentary, MAGIC TRIP.
- If I could travel back in time, I would urge more folks to see MOON, Duncan Jones' debut, hard sci-fi feature that melded the cinematic sensibilities of Peter Hyams and Tarkovsky. MOON is far superior and thoughtful entertainment to movies made with twenty times the budget. Today, I needn't bend the space-time continuum as Duncan's second movie, SOURCE CODE plays in theaters and you can see it on the big screen without altering the course of history - Other than the director's own. Duncan Jones bellies up to The High Bar to discuss SOURCE CODE, second chances and the very nature of - existence.
- William Gibson's writing is timeless. For mortals, conquering time is a Quixotic endeavor, only imaginable with the aid of good religion, better hallucinogens or great science fiction. Today(?), Mr. Gibson walks into The High Bar and joins me to raise a toast to and raise the bar for - atemporality. Will time stand still and if so, what impact will it have on our memories, intimate or communal? The legendary author (Neuromancer; Pattern Recognition) discusses his childhood, his craft and his hope for a future he has never truly predicted, even within the pages of his recent collection of articles and essays, Distrust That Particular Flavor.
