Podcast appearances and mentions of anne marie kelly

Today, we are taking a slightly different approach from our usual show. In this episode, we will be talking with three highly impressive young professionals, all of whom left university within the last 5 years but who are blazing their own trails in their various fields. Our young professionals include Nicole Cosgrove, a Partner Development Manager at Microsoft in Sydney, Australia, Anne Marie Kelly, a Sales Manager at O'Malley Spirits Trading in Berlin Germany and Sallyann Fitzsimons, a Senior Reseller Operations Specialist at Salesforce here in Dublin, Ireland.

It was a pleasure to be joined singer, artist, filmmaker and psychotherapist, Anne Marie Kelly to discuss her short film (more a parable) God Given Opportunity, which she felt inspired to make following the Papel visit of 2018 and her experience at the Stand 4 Truth demonstration that coincided with it. The 20 minute film is available now to view HERE Support this podcast at patreon.com/tortoiseshack

Artist, psychotherapist and singer Anne Marie Kelly, made God Given Opportunity a short film made in response to the Papel visit to Ireland in 2018 and her experience at the Stand 4 Truth demonstration which coincided with Pope Francis' mass in the Phoenix Park. The film has just been released online. As part of her Integrative Psychotherapy work Kelly treats patients suffering from addiction, trauma and emotional release and so has first hand experience of the devastating affects that child sexual abuse can have on its survivors. 

We can all empathize with the grief of the mother who’s lost a child. But should we empathize with the grief of the mother of the person responsible? This powerful short drama asks the question.

Meet Anne Marie Kelly, one of the Program Specialists at the USC Shoah Foundation. In Episode 10, Anne kicks off Pride Month with me as we talk about a variety of issues that tie into marginalized communities. Oral history, genocide, queerness in the archive/preservation. She is an incredible asset to our community and I am so excited to have her here to celebrate the 10th episode AND to amplify the voices of the amazing queer preservationists and information professionals in this wonderful landscape.   

It's our annual year in review show! Lady P is joined by Anne Marie Kelly, Martin Kessler, and Kristen Sales (with a special call-in segment from our pal Marya E. Gates) to talk about the best movies of 2016.  Each panelist runs through their Top 5 favorite films of the year. Plus, they highlight notable performances and delight in ripping into movies that didn't quite meet their expectations (or in the case of The Handmaiden, met their expectations exactly). Finally, they close things out with a brief remembrance of beloved pop culture icons Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, and offer a few halting reasons to be optimistic for the coming year. 

We've reached the final entry in our first Bette Davis series (first of many if Lady P has anything to say about it). Our previous 'All About Bette' episodes covered Davis' turns in All About Eve (1950) and The Little Foxes (1941). Rounding out this glorious trifecta is the sister act that would come to define the latter, post-Studio System, half of Bette's career: What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962).  Largely due to the infamous feud between the film's two larger than life stars, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, Baby Jane is now primarily remembered as a campy novelty film. We at Flixwise are certainly no strangers to the art of playful exaggeration (See our Johnny Guitar episode). However, in the case of Baby Jane, we want to make sure that film's reputation as drag queen fodder, hasn't overshadowed the abject terror and sadness at the heart of the story. We also want to highlight the film's great formal achievements. Director/referee Robert Aldrich does a masterful job creating a sense of claustrophobia and dread, while also guiding two of Hollywood's biggest leading ladies through performances that would, for better or for worse, cement their respective personas for future generations. For our previous 'All About Bette' entries Kristen Sales and Anne Marie Kelly gave pitches for why their favorite Davis film should be included in the Flixwise canon. Now it's Lady P's turn to convince skeptics, Kristen and Anne Marie that this perennial horror classic is worthy of the Flixwise Favorite's list. Will she succeed? Pull up a chair and give it listen to find out.

We have officially made it through the Top 50 of the Sight and Sound Greatest Films of All Time list! Let's all pat ourselveson the back and celebrate a job partially done. In all seriousness, this a proud moment for our show and we're excited to mark the occasion. Let us continue our commemoration of getting a 5th of the way through this seemingly endless list by raising a glass to one of Hollywood's most enduring and tenacious screen icons, Bette Davis. Today's show is the second in our three-part Bette Davis marathon: All About Bette. In our first entry, we discussed Davis's career-defining turn in Joseph Mankiewicz's All About Eve (1950). This time we're tackling a less-widely seen Davis film, the 1941 adaptation of  Lillian Hellman's play,The Little Foxes (1941).  Lady P is joined once again by Kristen Sales and Anne Marie Kelly to talk about why The Little Foxes deserves greater recognition among Bette's filmography. Talking points include Davis's relationship with the film's director, William Wyler, and the deep-focus cinematography courtesy of Director of Photography, Gregg Toland (which inevitably leads to comparisons with Citizen Kane). They also attempt to put the film in historical context and talk about why 1940s Hollywood was so into making turn-of-the-century family dramas (see also Meet Me in St. Louis and The Magnificent Ambersons). Finally, they decide whether or not The Little Foxes is worthy of the Flixwise Favorites list.  

Ladies and gentleman, Flixwise has officially completed its review of the Top 50 Sight and Sound's Greatest Films of All Time. It's been a long time coming and we can think of no better way to mark the occasion than by having a Bette Davis podcast marathon... because every occasion should be cause to celebrate the fiercest queen in Hollywood history.  Curiously, there weren't any Bette Davis movies on the Top 50 list. And curiouser still, there doesn't appear to be any Davis in the remaining 200. Fortunately, the Flixwise gang is here to correct this egregious error. On today's show, we're kicking of our 'All About Bette' series with the film that many consider the pinnacle of her acting career: All About Eve (1950). Flixwise regular, Kristen Sales, tells listeners why she thinks All About Eve is one of the greatest films of all time. She'll have to convince host, Lady P, and fellow regular, Anne Marie Kelly, that Joseph Mankiewicz's celebration of "the theataar" and all of its backstage bickering is worthy of the Flixwise Favorites List. Expect heaps of praise for Davis, George Sanders, Anne Baxter, and Thelma Ritter. Plus, an explanation for that weird scene with Eve and her "roommate".

Listen to Ian Kelly, grand-nephew of Elizabeth O’Farrell talk about his great-aunt Elizabeth O'Farrell, her role in the 1916 Rising, her work as a midwife in Holles Street and her legacy. Listen to 'The Tricolour Ribbon' sung by Antoinette Heery (whose grand uncle James Heery was in the GPO with Elizabeth during the Rising) and to Ian reading Liam Mac Uistín's poem "We saw a vision". The talk is followed by Anne-Marie Kelly, Divisional Librarian at Dublin City Public Libraries, and a self-confessed Elizabeth O'Farrell fan, performing her original vignette 'Elizabeth Looks Back'. Part of 'Elizabeth O'Farrell and the 1916 Proclamation' Seminar. Recorded on Monday 25 April 2016 at Dublin City Hall as part of the Dublin City Council 1916/2016 Centenary Programme.

Meet The Rep Squad! Monica Castillo, Anne Marie Kelly, Lady P, and Kristen Sales: a foursome of movie nerds chatting about about the Los Angeles repertory movie theatre scene. In this pilot episode, they're sharing favorite memories from previous TCM Classic Film Fests, and offering up suggestions of what to see at this year's event. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On today's show, Flixwise co-producer Martin Kessler and frequent guest Anne Marie Kelly, join Lady P for a surprisingly light-hearted discussion of the 43rd Sight and Sound entry: Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1964 swan song, GERTRUD. GERTRUD, a film about the ecstasy and heartbreak that comes with devoting one's life to a single all-encompassing ideal, isn't exactly great material for a giggle-fest. Never-the-less, our panel manages to have itself a good time discussing whether or not Dreyer's film is worthy of its ranking in the hallowed List. Next, Anne Marie offers listeners a primer on this year's TCM Film Fest - an annual event where movie fans gather in Los Angeles, CA. to watch classic films in historic Hollywood movie palaces. This year's festival theme is 'Moving Pictures'. To celebrate, the panelists list off the titles they're most looking forward to in the fest, plus they talk about the 'moving pictures' that they would show were they in charge. Longtime listeners may notice that this topic bears a vague similarity to some discussions that Flixwise has covered in the past, but rest assured, this discussion is completely unlike anything we've ever talked about before, ever... except maybe this and kinda this.

Anne Marie Kelly recalls her father, Peadar Kelly’s role in the Battle of Ashbourne in 1916.

Today's minisode is an addendum to our previous 2015 In Review podcast. Lady P, Marya E. Gates, Martin Kessler, Anne Marie Kelly, and Kristen Sales are back to briefly review their favorite television shows of last year. Highlights include some pretty stellar animated shows, the "most jewish show on tv", and some "beautifully sculpted man bodies".

We're back with a special Flixwise XXL episode. The length of the episode is due in part to our super-sized panel. Lady P is joined by Flixwise regulars Marya E. Gates, Martin Kessler, Anne Marie Kelly, and Kristen Sales for a countdown of each of their Top 5 2015 releases. Plus, they talk about their favorite scenes, the best performances, and also some dishonorable mentions. Expect lots of shout outs to female filmmakers and railing against the patriarchy. Happy 2016, Everyone! Note: We had a number of technical issues during the recording of this episode. As a result, there are a few audio glitches in the finished product. But not worry, the content is SO entertaining that you'll barely notice.

Did you really think we'd do a series on female directed films and not talk about Amy Heckerling's Clueless? AS IF!! Flixwise regular, Anne Marie Kelly, outlines why she thinks the seminal 1995 teen comedy is worthy of the Flixwise Favorites List. She'll have to convince Lady P, Kristen Sales, and Marya E. Gates that her fondness for the film stems not just from wardrobe envy or a '90s nostalgia trip, but from the film's formal attributes and cultural significance as well. Listen up to see if the panel agrees that Clueless is one of the Greatest Movies of All Time. Along the way, they talk outfits (duh!), compare Clueless to Emma--the original Jane Austen text--and admire the film's progressive take on sexuality. Plus, Kristen offers a rousing sermon on awe of the teen movie genre, which is definitely not-to-be-missed.  

Lady P is joined by Carrie Specht and Anne Marie Kelly to talk about Martin Scorsese's 1976 feature TAXI DRIVER. TAXI DRIVER is tied for the 31st spot on the Sight and Sound Critics' Poll with another "Golden Age" cornerstone: Francis Ford Coppola's THE GODFATHER PT. II. Yes, two of the darkest entries in the 1970's cinema canon landed side-by-side on the "Greatest Films of All Time" list. A coincidence? Perhaps. But nevertheless, while one may forever be the loneliest number, 31 is now officially in the running for broodiest. And speaking of Coppola, a few weeks ago, during an off-air conversation, Carrie casually mentioned that she thinks Francis Ford Coppola is the "greatest living American director." We felt this statement deserved greater unpacking, so this week we hit the record button and talked in detail about it means to be a "uniquely-American" filmmaker.  Then the panelists each offer up their picks for top auteur.

It's the rootinest tootinest hoedown in the west! Filmmaker and friend of the show, Caroline Golum, is on hand to tell us why she thinks Nicholas Ray's JOHNNY GUITAR should be included in the Flixwise Favorites List. She's gotta convince her fellow panelists, Lady P and Anne Marie Kelly, that Joan Crawford's turn as a reluctant gunslinger is more than just campy fodder for the midnight movie crowd. JOHNNY GUITAR wasn't a great commercial or critical success upon its release, but the years have been kind to Nicholas Ray's alternative cowperson picture. Much has been written and said about its queer subtext and overt feminist themes. Our panel tackles these subjects and they deliberate over whether JOHNNY GUITAR is worthy of entry into the great movie canon.

On today's show, Anne Marie Kelly and Carrie Specht join Lady P to talk about the 31st feature on the Sight and Sound Critics Poll: Francis Ford Coppola's THE GODFATHER PT II. Regular listeners will recall that Lady P was less than totally ecstatic about the previous GODFATHER entry; and any criticism of THE GODFATHER series qualifies as heresy amongst some cinephiles--movie people have ways of taking care of heretics. Find out if Lady P's changed her tune for Part II, or if she'll soon find herself on a moonlit boating trip. And since GODFATHER PT II is the only sequel on the Sight and Sound Poll, the panelists take the opportunity to talk about Hollywood's recent proliferation of series and franchises. Then they each list some their favorite movie sequels.

Today, Lady P is joined to by Anne Marie Kelly and Margaret de Larios to talk about the 2015* Academy Awards. Anne Marie and Margaret both write for The Film Experience, which specializes in movie awards coverage. That means you can trust that they've analyzed the spread, and they can tell you approximately who's going to walk away with all the awards this coming Sunday. Will it be BOYHOOD or BIRDMAN? Michael Keaton or Eddie Redmayne? Julianne Moore or... no it's definitely Moore. Have your ballots handy. They're talking predictions, snubbing (aka whitewashing), and whether or not in his 87th year, Ole Oscar is still relevant. *In the recording I call it the 2014 Oscars Special. While we are talking about films released in the 2014 calendar year, the ceremony is the 2015 Academy Awards.-Lady P  

It's exactly what it sounds like! Today Lady P is joined by Emma Guerard and Anne Marie Kelly, to talk about the best movies, tv shows, performances, haircuts, etc. from last year. There are top 5 lists, there's Tilda Swinton fawning, there's fist-pumping (Go ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK!), there's bubble bursting (Looking at you, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY), and both grave and hopeful predictions for the year ahead.

Yesterday, December 15th 2014, marked the 75th anniversary of the release of the Selznick adaptation of GONE WITH THE WIND; a film that is often cited as the crowning achievement of a year that's brimming with classics. For those who are mathematically challenged (No judgement here. This is movie podcast, not an algebra podcast) that year is 1939, the supposed "Greatest Year in Cinema History." And why, you ask, should anyone give a damn? Well, in this episode Lady P is once again joined by two of her favorite classic-film-aficionados, Anne Marie Kelly and Carrie Specht, to ask that very question, and to reflect on whether or not this historic 365 day period lives up to its reputation. Plus, everyone offers up their own personal favorite 1939 movie selections. But before they get into all that, there's the small matter of the next Sight and Sound entry to tackle. This time the panelist offer their analyses of the 24th Greatest Film of All Time, Akira Kurosawa's RASHOMON. Will our group of ladies find Toshiro Mifune's devilish bandit as charming as he thinks he is, or will they take the side of the humorless bandit? Listen up to find out.

All October long we at Flixwise have steadfastly refused to indulge in the ritual demonic possession that seems to come upon many of our fellow-movie bloggers around mid-September. We figured the internet would safely reach peak-monster without any help from us. And also, we're giant scaredy-cats, so in lieu of spooks and slashers, we offered up singing, dancing, and merriment in the form of a Musical Marathon. However, now that Halloween is actually upon us, we've decided to relent on the whole no haunting business. Without further ado we present our audio offering to the Lords of the Underworld (ie. Hades, Mictecacihuatl, Jack Skellington, etc.) It's the Flixwise Halloween Special! Lady P, is once again, joined by Carrie Specht and Anne Marie Kelly. The three of them each recount their stories the very first time that they were scared by a movie. Listeners best curl up with a hot cider, a roaring fire, last years trick or treat spoils, and a cozy blanket, because trust us, these tales will make your blood run cold. So, so cold!* *Okay, we can't promise any actual scares, though there are some truly terrifying scary-movie puns. You've been warned...

It's the last leg of our Musical Marathon! Here at Flixwise we believe that no foray into the world of song and dance is complete without a stop in Fred and Ginger territory. So before we make our exit, we're bringing you our analysis of George Stevens' 1936 feature, SWING TIME. The founder and editor of ClassicFilmFan.com, Carrie Specht, is on hand to present the film for the Flixwise Favorites List. Listen up to see if she can convince Anne Marie Kelly, and your host, Lady P, that SWING TIME is indeed the belle of the ball when it comes to the RKO musical comedies. We hope you enjoyed our October of counter programming. We promise to revisit this topic very soon. If listeners have any suggestions for future Flixwise Favorites episodes. Let us know via Facebook, Twitter, or Email.       

In our SINGING IN THE RAIN episode we promised you a musical marathon, and we always make good on our promises. Starting this week, and continuing all through October, will have a series of minisodes in which each week we deliberate on one musical entry to the Flixwise Favorites List. We are aware that historically October is typically to be devoted to all things horror. However here at Flixwise we're offering a respite from the creatures who go bump in the night.  I believe they refer to this in the biz as counter-programming. We hope you enjoy! That being said, our first musical entry is many ways an absolutely bone chilling film. Lady P is pitching Bob Fosse's 1972 feature CABARET. She is joined by the author of The Film Experience's "A Year With Kate" series, Anne Marie Kelly, and the editor and founder of Classicfilmfan.com, Carrie Specht. Together they analyze the film and determine whether it is worthy of entry into the Flixwise's stable of Alternate Greatest Films of All Time.   Get well soon Liza!
