358 - Family and Fortress (Teaser Analysis) | The Avatar Podcast #11

Albert gives his analysis on the teaser for 'Avatar: The Way of Water'.



Avatar is a multimedia universe centred on the indigenous peoples of the distant planet of Pandora, a reality-based paracosm created by filmmaker-engineer-activist James Cameron. Taking inspiration from (and ultimately acting as a paean to) our own earth and its many First Nations cultures, Avatar promotes 'artivism' (activism through art) to inspire changes in how we treat ourselves, others, and the planet. It is one of the most successful media properties ever, including films, interactive experiences, books, music, attractions, and more.

Apple's WWDC at the San Jose Convention Center (May 13-16) showcased the progress made in developing a new Mac OS called Rhapsody, which used OpenStep as its foundation. The system included a modified version of OpenStep with a more Mac-like interface (Yellow Box) and an emulation feature (Blue Box) to run existing Mac apps. The conference highlighted new features, such as tabbed and outline views, and an object-based graphics layer. This was the first show after NeXT's purchase, and the development teams had been merged on February 4.

354 - The Future of Terror (Introduction) | The Alien Podcast #1

Albert discusses his kinship with the Alien universe, gives his ideas on its future, and much more.


🗃️


The Alien franchise is a captivating science-fiction horror universe that delves into various thought-provoking themes. Among these themes, it skilfully examines the concept of abiogenesis, contemplating the mysterious origins of life itself. It also explores the contrasting elements of connection and indifference, emphasising the importance of human relationships in the face of the unknown. The portrayal of motherhood is another compelling aspect, showcasing the fierce maternal instincts and sacrifices made in the darkest corners of space. Furthermore, the franchise delves into the dichotomy of nature versus artifice, questioning the limits of human ingenuity and the consequences of playing with forces beyond our control. Ultimately, Alien lures audiences into the depths of space, where the enigmatic and unfathomable remain an eternal mystery.

353 - Evil Takes Many Forms (Introduction) | The A24 Podcast #1

353 - Evil Takes Many Forms (Introduction) | The A24 Podcast #1

In this fascinating interview and Q&A session, we dive deep into the making of the critically acclaimed horror film, The Witch, with three of its key players: Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, and Robert Eggers.


Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays the lead character Thomasin in the movie, takes us on a journey through her experience of embodying a character who is torn between her family and her own desires, amidst the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the 17th-century New England wilderness.


Ralph Ineson, who portrays Thomasin's father, William, shares his insights on the film's exploration of the intersection of religious fanaticism and family dynamics, as well as his experiences working with goats, who play a crucial role in the movie's haunting imagery.


Director Robert Eggers provides a rare glimpse into his creative process and how he crafted the film's tense and unsettling atmosphere, drawing inspiration from real historical accounts of witchcraft and meticulously researching and recreating the details of a bygone era.


Together, the trio provides an intriguing and thought-provoking look into the making of a modern horror classic that has captivated audiences and critics alike. From the psychological depths of the characters to the intricacies of the film's production, this interview and Q&A has it all, and is not to be missed by fans of the genre.

347 - Awakening To Truth (Discussion) | The Existence Podcast #16

Ava, a Nahua and Yucatàn Maya descendant, creator and intuitive healer who is on a personal journey of reconnecting with her ancestry, joins producer Albert to discuss the importance of supporting, preserving and celebrating our indigenous cultures, and living in deference to humanity’s first and best teacher, Mother Nature, which is at the core of Avatar’s ’artivism’ within the medium of filmmaking. She sheds light on the nuanced (and fascinating) grey area between ethnicities, communities and individuals, and the pair also dive into their shared kinship for various other subjects, including psychology, spiritualism and more.

345 - Live The Unwritten (The Wizarding World Podcast #11)

An incredibly fun, joyous and excitement-filled time was had on our post-show episode with the legendary Ann of SpeakBeasty, as well as Tony — the formidable LastMarauder himself! 


Plenty of analysis, speculation and predictions is had between the both of them, as well as producer, Albert, who promptly casts all composure to the wind as we celebrate this beyond-dream-come-true moment!


Hogwarts Legacy is going to change things forever — people who’ve never played games will play this. This video is one of the greatest things to be put on the internet. Everything went so far beyond even my wildest expectations that I’m simply unable to even, right now — life has begun again, it honestly feels that way 🤩 


Cannot wait for the holiday! Maybe even September 1! It would be perfect, after all... 🚂

344 - The Future is Jurassic (The Jurassic Podcast #2)

On Episode 2, producer Albert Chessa is joined by cohost Tony (HammerRaptor) for a wide-ranging, in-depth discussion on all things Jurassic —


Opinions, memories, and more than anything, diving headlong into manifesting 5 hypothetical-but-plausible projects:


1. Jurassic Park: Sorna (an open world RPG)

Inspired by Horizon Forbidden West, Red Dead 2 and The Witcher III


2. Jurassic Park: Infiltration (a survival horror FPS)

Inspired by Alien: Isolation, Bioshock, Resident Evil


3. Jurassic Park: Hunters (a tactical/adventure)

Raptor pack simulator, inspired by Ace Combat


4. Jurassic Park: Muldoon (an action/adventure)

Inspired by Uncharted, God Of War (2018) and The Last Of Us


5. Jurassic Age: Reborn (a limited live-action series)

Inspired by The Walking Dead


…and that’s not even talking about the next trilogy (speculative title: Jurassic Age)! 


Indeed, the future *is* Jurassic — so pull up a Jurassic Park-branded chair, grab your JP mug and blanket, and nook up to your rainswept Sorna/Nublar/Cincos Muertes/Mainland windowsill, as you get cosy and join us as we meet this new Jurassic horizon together!

342 - A Shadow's Fate (The Elden Ring Podcast #16)

My dear Tarnished, the Golden Age is almost upon us. From the silent shadows of the dark times — before Geoff Keighley's glorious SGF reveal — to this bountiful era of daily reveals, it has always been our fate…our golden path…to make it to this day.

On our 16th episode, 'A Shadow's Fate' — the final one before Elden Ring's release, and we all cross the foggy sea together — join the exceptionally talented Tarnished artist Gobli Prin and show producer Albert for ‘A Shadow’s Fate’, as the pair discuss all things life, art, music and more. Enjoy!

What if the two Miyazakis — Hidetaka and Hayao — combined into something, or rather someone, whose style is well on its way to surpassing both?

Well, in addition to being a truly unique and exceedingly talented illustrator unto himself, this is an accurate way to describe Tokyo-based artist, @gobli_prin.

If you haven’t already, ahead of this weekend’s conversation with this outstanding creator, I highly recommend following his Insta right now!

The pair discuss the differences between the two Miyazakis, how combining their sensibilities can prove surprisingly satisfying and unique, and much more. Stay tuned!

341 - Into The Desert (The Dune Podcast #9)

341 - Into The Desert (The Dune Podcast #9)

On this episode, Julia and Albert unveil a new era for The Dune Podcast 🌅 


We, the whole worldwide Dune community, are in the desert of Arrakis together now — sheltered with and regrouping in Stilgar’s Sietch Tabr, alongside our heroes Chani (Zendaya), Paul (Timothée Chalamet) and Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) — awaiting Part Two of our collective story to begin: meeting Irulan and Feyd, Jessica’s perilous Water of Life trial, and taking the fight to the Harkonnens, reclaiming Arrakis in the name of its Indigenous peoples 🧕 


The next 3 episodes are also previewed, including, if schedules align, being joined by the mighty Greg Ruth himself (definitely check out his phenomenal work, both Dune and his other projects ✍️), 


including episodes for Oscars predictions and reactions (Dune will pick up at least 5, but we’re manifesting 8, including Best Picture and Best Director for Denis ‘Filmer Of The Unfilmable’ Villeneuve 📽🇨🇦🤘)


In other words, it’s going to be a long, winding Maker-trail from here to Dune’s next chapter and beyond, including a photorealistic ‘Horizon Forbidden Arrakis’ style RPG title (looking at you, Guerilla! 🎮😉🤩) for us all, 


And there’s no better time than now — with new tidbits emerging regarding all Dune projects each week (thank you legacy guests Dune Info and Dune News Net for your ongoing coverage!) to burrow into our collective passion (Emilio! 😉), curiosity and joy for this ever-deepening and expanding world, and seeing what the Spice reveals…


And of course, Hassan and Ralí (Secrets of Dune) are absolutely fated to one day take over the show for an episode (or more)…It, as they say, truly has begun.

340 - An Open Oddworld (The Oddworld Podcast #3)

This week, podcasting gets ODD… 


Join kindred spirit Oddsters Kaio, Race and Albert as the trio dive headlong into the many meanings of ‘An Open Oddworld’ — 


OWI's future being wide open as it is right now, with speculation mounting about an upscaling acquisition by the likes of Netflix, Apple or Google;


Building a more open-minded (and open-hearted) Oddworld community, starting with r/OddworldInc;


And my favourite of them all, a well-and-truly Open World Oddworld title — 


Horizon Forbidden Odd,


Red Dead Oddemption,


The Odder Scrolls: Sligrim (ewww…but hey, the point stands! 😁) — 


How would it work? Who would it star? What would it lead to, and what could it explore or reveal, world-building wise? 


All these and many, many more questions will be answered, consulting The Art of SoulStorm (the new bedrock of OWI, whose refresh of all things Odd has given us the foundation upon which much more dynamic, emotionally resonant, and cinematically impactful tales can be told) all throughout 📕 So whaddya waiting for? Sit back, relax, press play and get your ODD on!

326 - The Red Planet (The Barsoom Podcast #1)

326 - The Red Planet (The Barsoom Podcast #1)

‘Mars. The Red Planet. Its true name…is Barsoom.’ 


☄️ 


On the first episode of The Barsoom Podcast, producer Albert Chessa delves into his boundless (and, as the years pass, ever-increasing) kinship with Edgar Rice Burroughs' genre-pioneering work, without which the likes of Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, Dune, Valerian and even The Lord of the Rings would either never have happened, or become as popular they did, by making liberal use of its source material: concepts, aesthetics and themes that went on to shape our popular culture as as we know it (e.g. Jeddak/Jedi).


With 2012’s underrated masterpiece as our springboard, we’ll examine one minute at a time, exploring a range of related and adjacent subjects and tangents, analysing each frame’s symbolic and formal qualities, and speculating on what Barsoom’s future may hold.


Albert ponders on the sheer weight of responsibility that writer-director Andrew Stanton — a future guest of the show, Issus-willing (along with Michael Giacchino, Lynn Collins, Taylor Kitsch, Bryan Cranston, Thomas Haden Church, Ryan Church, Michael Kutsche, Vance Kovacs and many more) — his crew, and his cast must have felt during development, draws parallels and highlights polarities with the current reception of Dune, and concludes with a preview of the multi-year audiovisual journey that awaits listeners and viewers of the show going forward.


A special thanks to Bill Corso, creator of Barsoom’s intricate traditional cultural patterns and Academy Award-winning makeup designer, for your kind support. We look forward to having you on the show some day soon.


This episode is dedicated to friend-of-the-show Icechewer21 — its Jasoomians like you who are the reason I have faith we’ll all return to Barsoom some day soon.

How will videogames influence the future of art?


The fusion of artistic vision and the essential ingredient of humanity (you) is what makes videogames as an artform unique. Boundless creativity is no longer restrained by physical work, and ever-emerging technologies that surround us and have become integral to our lives.

324 - A New Start (The Ghostbusters Podcast #2)

324 - A New Start (The Ghostbusters Podcast #2)

Clocking in at 2 hours and 3 minutes, Episode 2 - ‘A New Start’ is an appreciation-deepening, knowledge-enhancing and hype/childhood joy-unleashing deep-dive into and celebration of Ghostbusters, and many adjacent/additive tangent topics as well. I certainly took so much away from deliberately sitting down with, parsing through, really absorbing and discovering new perspectives on this material, and for anyone watching/listening along, I hope you do too. We wove in commentary on Greg Miller's inspiring integration of GB's ethos, spirit of friendship, believing in oneself and conquering the odds into his life throughout the episode; YHS Podcast and The Crossrip get major shout outs too, for being who you are and doing what you do. Though Australia will be seeing it in January, it doesn't matter: the true potential of this universe is finally being realised, and I couldn’t be happier.

322 - Choose Your Reality (Berlin Panel Discussion) | The Matrix Podcast #3

322 - Choose Your Reality (Berlin Panel Discussion) | The Matrix Podcast #3

Albert introduces the Berlin Panel discussion on 'Resurrections'.



The Matrix is a cyberpunk story that tells of the technological fall of humanity, in which the creation of artificial intelligence led a race of self-aware machines to imprison mankind in a virtual reality system — the titular Matrix — to be farmed as a power source. Some manage to break free from the system and are pursued by the machines, both inside and outside of the system. This resistance seeks to free humanity from the system while being pursued by its guardians, including the fearsome Agents. The story incorporates references to numerous philosophical, religious, or spiritual ideas: the dilemma of choice vs. control, messianism, and the concepts of inter-dependency and love.
