Cinema Sessions

In the 9th episode of the Cinema Sessions podcast, Rick, Kailah, and Michael break down the 2015 Pixar smash hit, Inside Out. They dive into their favorite things about the film, condiments that make them feel saucy, and random movies that evoke our emotions. Childhood, parenting, normalizing feelings, the power of animated films, acknowledging our needs, and the full spectrum of emotions are reviewed. Then core themes of toxic positivity, embracing sadness, and being aware of which emotions are dictating our behaviors are explored. And while you’re at it, pull out your feelings wheel, say hey to Bing Bong (or your imaginary friend of choice), and put some broccoli on your pizza!

In the 8th episode of the Cinema Sessions podcast, Rick, Kailah, and Michael explore the 2021 Best Picture winner, CODA. They dive into awkward family moments, the power of mentors who believe in us, the ways Joni Mitchell makes us feel, and berate Michael for only giving this film a 9 out of 10 score. Communication, representation, family roles, mindfulness, navigating different worlds, advocacy for ourselves and others, the importance of senses, the significance of boundaries, and connection are reviewed. You’ll feel good watching this film, and potentially aroused (highly subjective and questionable) while listening to this podcast.

In the 7th episode of the Cinema Sessions podcast, Rick, Kailah, and Michael swing by Gringotts, hop aboard the Hogwarts Express, look into the Mirror of Erised, and play some wizard’s chess as they discuss the 2001 fantasy phenomenon, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. They explore core themes of belonging, friendship, childhood loss, finding one’s sense of home, desire, and fame, and conjure up some spells that would be helpful in real life along the way. Kailah raps Fresh Prince style, Rick tries to pronounce wizard names, and Michael geeks out about his favorite book series in this magical episode. Bring your wand and pour yourself a butterbeer!

In the 6th episode of the Cinema Sessions podcast, Rick, Kailah, and Michael enjoy another day of sun and sing about one of the best 21st century movie musicals, 2016’s La La Land. They explore core themes of authenticity, ambition, the magic of falling in love, modern relationships, holding onto the past, and those sliding door moments when things don’t work out the way we want them to. The performances by Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, the infamous Oscars moment in which the film “won” Best Picture errantly, the movie’s controversial ending, and awkward first date stories are reminisced on. Throw on a jazz record, eat some chicken on a stick, and audition for your big break in a city of stars with us!

In the 5th episode of the Cinema Sessions podcast, Rick, Kailah, and Michael head back to 1985, and then 1955, in the seminal sci-fi classic, Back to the Future. Core themes of masculinity, ambition, technology, what-ifs, nostalgia, parent-child relationships, and unlocking our past to move forward are explored. We also debate the sketchiness of 1 AM mall visits with zany old men, dive into 80s brand marketing, discuss whether purple underwear is a thing, break down one of the most iconic film scores of all time, and explore whether time travel would be more fun if it happened via a refrigerator rather than a DeLorean. Buckle up, because we’re sending you BACK TO THE FUTURE!

They also get into hijinks discussing things they’d like to protrude from their hands (Wolverine style), review the X-Men film franchise, and break down some of their favorite superhero movies. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cold one, throw on some Icy Hot, and jump into Erikson’s stages of development with us!

In episode 2 of the Cinema Sessions podcast, we dive back into the fetch world of the 2004 high school classic film, Mean Girls. We nostalgically reflect on our mid-2000s selves, the groups of friends we were in during high school, and the myriad of emotions that we feel while watching the film. Core themes of popularity, gossip, loss, change, suburbia, authenticity, dishonesty, and the ways we are perceived by others are explored. Due to some technical difficulties, this episode had to be re-recorded, leading to some zany and obscure moments. We highly recommend listening to this on a Wednesday while wearing pink.

One of the themes of the the Behind The Image Leadership podcast has been the importance of our origin story. Sometimes our origin story is shaped by something that's happened to us. But other times, it's a result of a personal struggle or a battle with addiction. And the same tools that help someone find sobriety can then be incredibly powerful in leading individuals, teams, or organizations.

On today's episode I have a conversation with Kate Buckner. She's a long time friend, a vocational pastor, and someone who's leadership approach has been shaped by her past experience with addiction and recovery. She shares very openly about her journey of healing and transformation. Her authenticity and honesty is refreshing, as she talks very candidly about what she's learned and how she's continuing to learn and grow as a leader.
