Von aristokratischen Lebedamen und -männern mit Reißzähnen zu Y2K-glitzernden Popkultur-Sternchen: die Welt der Vampire bietet einige riesige Projektionsfläche für gute Geschichten. Die Wandelbarkeit eines der wohl beliebtesten Monster im Horrorgenre macht auch vor der heutigen Folge nicht halt. Denise hat den iranischen Vampir-Western “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” (2014) von Ana Lily Amirpour unterm Cape. Der Film, in dem eine lässig-skateboardende Vampirin im Tschador Rache an den Bösewichten ihrer Stadt nimmt, ist ein atmosphärisches und ästhetisches Meisterwerk. In dieser Folge hört ihr von Denise, was Amirpour so Neues mit dem Vampir-Trope macht. Kim wiederum begibt sich in Draculas Schloss, und zwar im Kontext des Videospiels “Castlevania: Symphony of the Night” (1997). Der Sleeper-Hit, der erst Jahre nach Erscheinen ein Cult-Following gewinnen konnte, ist nicht nur laut Kim eins der hübschesten Pixel-Look-Spiele, sondern auch ein wichtiger Vorfahre für die Souls Games. Bleibt uns nur zu sagen: Lasst Fenster und Türen trotz sommerlicher Hitze am besten zu…Achtung!- Es gelten milde Spoilerwarnungen für den Film “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night”, aber keine Sorge: das Ende wird hier nicht verraten.- Eine größere Spoilerwarnung sprechen wir für “Castlevania: Symphony of the Night” aus; Kim erzählt hier relativ viel zur Geschichte und auch zu den Enden des Videospiels.Shownotes: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ovokcy9tnjhro5okh33sb/47-Vampire-Shownotes.docx?rlkey=acimgyfxy1zfskn6g6d32ar1r&st=n6j2izs4&dl=0 Um zu “Folge 15: Vampire” vom Podcast “Ungeheuer Vernünftig - Rollenspiel & Wissenschaft” zu gelangen, folgt einfach diesem Link: https://vernunftgeheuer.podigee.io/15-vampireZur offiziellen Null Uhr Eins Spotify Playlist geht's hier entlang: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7qFygrdVtle2iMBKqeWEM7?si=88666dc9d95a4279

Sales education is far more nuanced than simply teaching sales. For Semira Amirpour, it requires a commitment to understanding and respecting diverse cultures in the business world and an ability to constantly adapt based on external factors and a rapidly evolving field. In this episode of the Campus Series podcast, Semira, a Professor of Instruction at the University of Texas at Dallas, discusses the importance of cultural intelligence in sales and marketing education, the challenges and opportunities presented by rapidly evolving technology in this space, and the crucial role adaptation and agility play in her career.

Ondi Timoner ("We Live in Public") returns to Filmwax for her second visit to talk about her latest documentary, a highly personal film to say the least, called "Last Flight Home". Behind a white picket fence, on an unremarkable suburban street, we discover Eli Timoner, who founded Air Florida, the fastest growing airline in the world in the 1970's. During his final days, we discover his extraordinary life filled with incredible success and devastating setbacks, and most importantly, an innate goodness which won him the enduring love and support of his family. Through stunning verité footage recorded by his middle child, "Last Flight Home" takes audiences on a heart-wrenching ride through Timoner's life, illustrating a modern day success story built on the power of human connection. The film is currently screening at the IFC Center in NYC. It will begin its Los Angeles theatrical at the Laemmle Monica Center on Friday, October 14th. Then it will stream on Paramount+ as of November. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhIF7DHF9zc&t=36s Ana Lily Amirpour ("A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night") returns to Filmwax for her second visit (!) after several years to discuss her new thrill ride of a film, "Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon" which is now out in theaters. Kate Hudson and Jun Jong Seo star in this mind-bending thriller from visionary director Amirpour. When a struggling single-mother (Hudson) befriends a mysterious mental institute escapee with supernatural powers (Jong Seo), she sees a lucrative opportunity to make some fast cash. But when they draw the attention of a detective (Craig Robinson), their luck starts to run out as the cops close in on their crime-spree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Kkq7CbmnI&t=280s

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is a unique take on the vampire mythos. Ana Lily Amirpour had written a dozen screenplays but wasn't getting any traction with getting them made. That's when she had the idea for her Iranian vampire story. The script came easily and was something she could make in the small town of Taft CA on an ultra-low budget. Watching the film, though, Amirpour clearly had a vision and was able to bring it to screen. The film is hypnotic, dark, full of mood, and surprisingly romantic. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our Horror Debuts series with Amirpour's 2014 film A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. They don't say much in Amirpour's film, but we have a lot to say about it. It's an interesting film in its simplicity and pacing. Combing through reviews, it seems a good number of people find issue in the slow pace and long takes. Even Pete initially reacted this way. But this film has a way of sticking with you. Both of us found the film to be one that lingers, and in the end, we both ended up big fans of Amirpour's vampire story. Is it the fact that it's horror-lite? Or perhaps that we connected with the romance, which Amirpour herself talks about as being like in a John Hughes film? Regardless, it's a bit hypnotic spending time in this film and one we'd return to readily. The black-and-white cinematography by Lyle Vincent paired with Amirpour's story as well as the soundtrack fully immerse us in this town of Bad City. It helps that Sheila Vand plays such a compelling vampire, stalking the streets in her chador and on her skateboard. And we're intrigued by the larger messages Amirpour puts forth in the film, even if she's not overtly trying to make comments on these things. Things like the oppression of women in Iran and other Middle Eastern countries. Addiction. Social isolation. Depression. Social status. Even the way we drain the land of its oil like vampires on the Earth is emphasized over and over again with the shots of the oil pumpjacks moving up and down. But it's not a message movie. Amirpour includes those elements as themes to look at and think about, but we think she's really focused on the love story and these two lost souls trying to find a connection in a dark town. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is really a love story. That connection between Arash, played by Arash Marandi, and Vand's vampire (called simply The Girl) is the beating heart in this dark, cold movie. The scenes the two of them have together – at the street light, in her place, and at the power plant – create strong moments that are some of the more unforgettable moments in cinema. We found a strong connection to this film. It's one we'll likely jump back into sooner rather than later to reconnect with Arash and The Girl. We have a great conversation about Amirpour's film A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. Check it out and tune in to this week's show. The Next Reel – when the movie ends, our conversation begins!

For their main discussion the pair dive into the murky marital waters of Asghar Farhadi's 2006 drama Fireworks Wednesday, a tale of a house cleaner who gets more than she bargains for when her latest job unexpectedly places her in the middle of a domestic dispute between her new employer and his wife.
