No Comments on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier-Episode 3

In this special podcast series, One Stone Creative co-founder Megan Dougherty and Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance indulge in their love of all things MCU by watching and discussing the Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In this episode we look at episode 3 of the series currently running on the Disney channel. Some of the highlights include:

Ø Synopsis of the episode.

Ø MCU cookies and other cool things.

1.     Commercial at the beginning – similar to ads in Wandavision. Is the government the biggest bad of all?
2.     Cap: “don’t even let them breathe.” Yikes. Also, is he the only unilingual superhero?
3.     Ends justify the means – theme of the episode?
4.     Zemo is the therapist now. (Strong Hannibal Lecter vibes.)

Ø Questions for Consideration

5.     Is the Baron’s back story plausible? Just how cool is he?
6.     How did we move from social commentary to a spy/thriller show?
7.     Was Bucky simply in character at the Bar or was he under Zemo’s control again?
8.     Has Sharon Carter gone to the dark side? Is she The Power Broker?
9.     Fight at the lab.

So kick back and enjoy the MCU universe on the small screen and then check out this special series on Popcorn and Compliance.

Compliance Into the Weeds

SPACs and Compliance

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive into the recent spate of SPACs which have formed and are gobbling up companies through acquisition. What does it mean from the internal control, risk management and compliance perspective?
Some of the issues we consider are:

What are SPACs?
Do SPACs render controls ineffective?
What are the requirements under SOX 404b for SPACs?
Do SPACs create an inherent conflict of interest between management and shareholders?
What does this mean for compliance officers?
