Sturm und Drang

Alas, this period is but of short duration.

Like spring, the Sturm und Drang period of the propagandist brings forth growth, frail and delicate, to be matured or killed according to its powers of resistance against a thousand vicissitudes.

My great faith in the wonder worker, the spoken word, is no more.

I have realized its inadequacy to awaken thought or even emotion.

I remember a point in time when a lot of people of note weren't the nicest people to talk to.

They messed up because it created a lot of this, it's part of the Sturm und Drang we live in now.

But when you have people who are accomplished, who have done their job and continue to do it, say to the younger people, hey man, hey lady, you can do this.

You need, you know, You got this.

And Public Enemy seems so much more like maybe German Expressionist to me.

You know, we've got these, like, f- really close-up face shots and a lot of, like, the Germans call it, like, the Sturm und Drang, you know, of the, of the, of the gangsters.

Um, and he really gets visceral that way.

And then this one, you know, I mean, so we go back up a little bit in that the book that I wrote is called Forbidden Hollywood.

Um, what do you think

traditionally I would you would think that with all these layoffs unfortunately over the last few years, um that there would be a lot of new growth and a lot of like sturm und drang and then there'd be like new studios forming up new indies popping up new partnerships, but What I've heard, and I don't know for sure, and I haven't checked in in a few months, but what I've heard is that investment in games is maybe historically low.

It's not good.

If you don't say we have a plan to integrate AI into our production process, you're not likely to make a lot of money.

Today's program features Darrell Bricker, chairman of Ipsos Canada, writing on why the federal Liberals aren't seeing a bigger polling lead despite recent events.

With all the Sturm und Drang roiling Canadian public life, one would expect it to be having a big effect on voter support for the Carney Liberals.

Not so far, even as the Liberals swept three federal by-elections this week.

Our most recent polling at Ipsos has the Liberals at 44%, exactly where they were on Election Day, April 28, 2025.

And the SEC is saying, we will kick LSU out of the conference for this, which is probably a bluff.

But the amount of Sturm und Drang that this has generated has been extreme.

And it was interesting being on TK with Sam, and he was like, just let them play.

It's one year.
