Welcome to The Plot Thickens, a documentary podcast from Turner Classic Movies. Each season we'll bring you a story about the movies and the people who make them. Our first season is about a young cinephile who quickly rose to become one of Hollywood's top directors. But Peter Bogdanovich soon found himself a victim of jealousy, hubris, public scorn - and a devastating crime. Along with host Ben Mankiewicz, Peter looks back on his life and tries to make sense of fame and failure. "I'm Still Peter Bogdanovich" is a remarkable story of loss, perseverance, and the solace of cinema.

    Ivy Insights

    The Plot Thickens is a captivating podcast that keeps me hooked from start to finish. Each episode is meticulously crafted, with the host expertly laying out the story and pacing it in a way that keeps me on the edge of my seat. The depth of research and attention to detail is truly impressive, making for a fascinating storytelling journey. I eagerly await the release of each new season, and I'm already looking forward to season 5.

    One of the best aspects of The Plot Thickens is how it introduces me to incredible actors and inspiring individuals that I may not have been familiar with before. The podcast does an excellent job of shining a light on their careers, providing deep insights into their lives and experiences. It's a true gift to hear from these talented individuals and gain a deeper understanding of their contributions to the world.

    However, there are a few aspects of the podcast that could be improved upon. One issue I've noticed is that sometimes it can be difficult to navigate through episodes, particularly when new ones are released. There isn't always clear indication of which episodes are new or where to start listening. This could be addressed by implementing clearer labeling or organization within the podcast library.

    In conclusion, The Plot Thickens is an informative and entertaining podcast that has provided me with hours of enjoyment. From learning about lesser-known actors to gaining new perspectives on beloved icons, each season offers something unique and valuable. Despite some minor issues with navigation, the overall quality of the podcast is outstanding. I eagerly anticipate future seasons and highly recommend giving this podcast a listen.

    After being removed from a film and ruining his friendship with Henry Fonda, John Ford begins to openly challenge his previous work. He deconstructs the Western and, for the first time, makes films specifically about Indians and women. But his power in Hollywood dwindles, and he soon finds himself out of work, a living legend living off his savings. As Ford enters his 70s, his movies are rediscovered and he is showered with honors and accolades, even as he denies his own artistry every chance he gets. Though he does accept one major award... from none other than the President of the United States. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    At the height of his powers, John Ford directs his masterpiece, an anti-racist Western called The Searchers. It's a movie of contradictions: John Wayne plays the hero, but he's driven by hate and revenge. He's searching for his niece, with the intent to kill her. Behind the scenes, Ford continues to use Monument Valley as a generic backdrop for the West without once acknowledging that it's sacred Navajo land. And while Ford considered himself a friend to the Navajos, his portrayal of Native Americans is fraught with stereotypes. But these damaging images were used in service of creating a complex, fascinating film that dared to condemn bigotry and has mesmerized generations of film fans. Learn more about your ad choices.

His stock company follows him from film to film, and Ford rewards his loyal subjects, but he's not a kind ruler.

    Meet John Ford, the curmudgeon with an eyepatch who just happened to be the greatest filmmaker of the 20th Century. Ford was a bully and a drunk who ruled Hollywood for five decades, making dozens of seminal movies – though he was incredibly hard to pin down. His behavior swung wildly from loyalty to cruelty, without notice. He won more Oscars than any director in history, but never showed up to accept an award. And he rewrote American history, painting the country with images so beautiful that people wished they were real. John Ford defined the attitudes of his time, ideas about masculinity and heroism that we're still grappling with today.
