Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

For the first film of Raph's "Keep Rolling" theme, we take a look at Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 film, Rope. Based on the Patrick Hamilton play, the film tells the story of two men who murder for philosophical reasons, then host a party in the apartment where the body is hidden. Starring John Dall, James Stewart, Farley Granger and Constance Collier, this psychological thriller is littered with great performances. On this one, we discuss how Rope stands out as a daring work that pushes the boundaries of cinema, its notable use of long takes & hidden cuts (lol "hidden") creating the continuous shot, as well as its exploration of taboo subjects such as homosexuality and murder. We also delve into the themes of the film, including the Nietzschean concept of the "superman or ubermensch" and the idea of intellectual arrogance leading to moral corruption. Additionally, we analyze the performances of the cast, including James Stewart's portrayal of a former teacher who suspects that his students may be responsible for the murder. Join us as we explore themes of morality, guilt, and obsession in this classic Hitchcock masterpiece.

In the second episode of our Boxing theme, we explore Clint Eastwood's 2004 Academy Award-winning film, Million Dollar Baby. The movie stars Eastwood himself as a grizzled boxing trainer named Frankie, who reluctantly takes on an ambitious female fighter named Maggie, played by Hilary Swank. Alongside them are the legendary Morgan Freeman as Scrap, Frankie's friend and assistant, Anthony Mackie and Michael Peña as members of the boxing gym and famous character actress Margo Martindale as Maggie's mother. We discuss how Million Dollar Baby defies expectations by portraying a female athlete in a male-dominated sport with sensitivity and respect. We also examine the film's themes of redemption and sacrifice, as well as its controversial ending that sparked debates among audiences and critics alike. Additionally, we explore the performances of the talented cast, including Swank's tour-de-force portrayal of a determined and spirited young boxer, Freeman's wise and insightful presence, and Eastwood's surprisingly nuanced performance .

In the first episode of our Boxing theme, we delve into Martin Scorsese's 1980 masterpiece, Raging Bull. Starring a young and up-and-coming Joe Pesci, alongside an Oscar-winning performance from Robert De Niro, this film takes a deep dive into the turbulent life of Jake LaMotta, a middleweight boxer whose self-destructive tendencies threaten to ruin his career and personal relationships. On this one we explore the film's themes of toxic masculinity, jealousy, and redemption, as well as its stunning black-and-white cinematography and beautifully crafted sequences. Whether you're fan of boxing or just love a good character study, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the crossroads of boxing and cinema. We also reference Harry Potter way too much... I don't even know. We're also are happy to introduce our first guest of the season Lorna Searl.

"Here lies poor Antoine Doinel, unjustly punished by Sourpuss for a pinup fallen from the sky..." For the final episode of our “Teenage Riot” theme, The Movie Newbie is revisiting one of the defining texts in 20th century cinema… Francois Truffaut’s timeless coming-of-age tale THE 400 BLOWS. Studied in every Intro to Film Class, this 1959 masterpiece of the French New Wave distils the excitement and loneliness of the disobedient child unlike any other. Based on Truffaut's own rebellious and tragic childhood, the story follows a young Parisian by the name of Antoine Doinel as he skips school, steals from his parents, and eventually runs away from his parents. It's a timeless classic — and one that we uniformly loved on the podcast — so we were thrilled to meet in the studio to pick apart the acting, music, cinematography and more. *** JABRIEL ALSUHAIMI is a multi-disciplinary creative, working on a multitude of various projects in the audiovisual sphere.

Frances shines in what can be her finest performance to date, giving us her raw power and brutality as well as her vulnerability and sensitivity, delicately balancing and juggling the nuances of an incredibly layered character. There's no better way to see off this theme than with this hilarious and devastating story about a mother seeking justice. *** JABRIEL ALSUHAIMI is a multi-disciplinary creative, working on a multitude of various projects in the audiovisual sphere.

“It’s the f***ing Catalina Wine Mixer”! In the second episode of our F*cked Up Families theme, The Movie Newbie turns away from the darkness and into the (slightly disturbed) comedic light with Adam McKay’s 2008 cult comedy classic Step Brothers . Starring one of the all-time comedic duos, Mr Will Ferrell and Mr John C Reilly, the story (if you can call it that) follows the absurd rivalry that develops between two forty-year-old men after their parents get married to one another. It’s filthy, it’s immature, and it's arguably a masterpiece. In this recording, we jump between serious-minded debates about the status of modern comedy and rattling off our favourite quotes from the film.

“Sometimes it’s better to choose your own family”. The surrogate family plays an important part in our F*cked Up Families theme, and no place is it better explored than in Hirokazu Kore-eda’s 2018 Palme D’or-winner Shoplifters — a modern-day Dickensian drama about a close-knit gang of thieves fighting to survive in Tokyo. For this episode, The Movie Newbie boys have been blessed with the indelible presence of Adam Marple and Budi Miller of the Theatre of Others podcast. (They’re also Raph’s former teachers!)

Welcome to the episode with probably the most swear words to date. We just had to, because in this episode we embark on the crazy, intense, hyper-violent, Silat movie from Indonesia, THE RAID (Also know as Raid Redemption internationally). Completely changing the martial arts genre and inspiring many movie and TV show fighting scenes, this movie was a high-octane treat for us. In this one, we chat about the fantastic martial arts sequences and the fabulous presence shown by the performers. We also debate who the biggest badass is while questioning why there was one lovely couple that lived in such a horrid place. Buckle your seatbelts because this movie is a crazy ride. As usual, there's a hell of a lot of spoilers in this one!Also, don't forget to check out The Creative Kind Podcast hosted by Alex Leonard!

1:12:52

The first horror entry in the Movie Newbie canon was one that didn’t receive a fond appreciation by our host and dear friend Jabriel, not because it was not necessarily a bad movie but because it served its true purpose, sending several chills down his spine. Midsommar centres around a couple travelling to rural Sweden with some of their friends in order to experience the fabled pagan tradition to which the title suggests. The unsettling journey Ari Aster takes us through turns this easy-to-swallow premise into a hard-to-digest story that will have your eyebrows slightly, if not fully, lifted by the time the credits roll.
