Dans cet épisode de ComicsDiscovery, on enfile nos plus beaux jetpacks pour fracasser du nazi ! Delcourt, au travers d'un album hommage, nous replonge dans l'univers inventé par Dave Stevens, Rocketeer. Dans cet album, les grands noms du comics mettent en scène dans des aventures extraordinaires, cet héros inspiré par les récits pulp. Dave Stevens : un illustrateur de talent entre comics, animation et cinémaAvant de créer The Rocketeer, Dave Stevens fait ses débuts dans l'industrie du comics en travaillant comme encreur pour Russ Manning sur les adaptations de Tarzan et Star Wars en comic strips. Il rejoint ensuite le monde de l'animation en collaborant avec Hanna-Barbera sur des séries comme Super Friends et The Godzilla Power Hour. Son talent pour l'illustration le conduit également à devenir storyboarder pour des productions télévisées et cinématographiques, comme Les Aventuriers de l'Arche Perdue (Indiana Jones). Après le succès de The Rocketeer, Stevens s'est principalement consacré à l'illustration. Il réalise des couvertures mettant en scène des pin-ups et surtout Betty Page dont il est fan. Il devient au fil des années un ami proche et un grand soutien. Bien qu'il ait produit peu de bandes dessinées après The Rocketeer, son style méticuleux et son amour du rétro ont marqué plusieurs générations d'artistes. Spades vous en parle plus en détail dans l'émission. The Rocketeer : un héros pulp entre hommage et modernitéC'est en 1982, dans les pages bonus de Starslayer chez Pacific Comics, que The Rocketeer fait ses premiers pas sous la plume de Dave Stevens. Passionné par l'esthétique des années 40 et les serials d'aventures comme Commando Cody, l'auteur imagine Cliff Secord, un cascadeur intrépide qui découvre un jetpack expérimental et devient un justicier. Véritable condensé de l'esprit pulp, Cliff incarne l'aventurier courageux, un brin tête brûlée, évoluant dans un monde rempli d'espions, de gangsters et de nazis. Stevens ne se contente pas de reproduire les codes du genre : son héroïne, Betty, directement inspirée de la pin-up Betty Page, est bien plus qu'une simple faire-valoir. Forte et indépendante, elle apporte une dimension moderne à cet univers, faisant de The Rocketeer un vibrant hommage à l'âge d'or du pulp tout en le réinventant avec une touche de fraîcheur et d'élégance. Les aventures de RocketeerPeut-être êtes-vous familier de Rocketeer et de son univers via son adaptation en 1991 par le futur réalisateur de Captain America, Joe Johnston produite par Disney. Ce film d'aventure à l'ancienne met en scène Bill Campbell dans le rôle de Cliff Secord, tandis que Jennifer Connelly incarne Betty (rebaptisée Jenny pour l'occasion). Face à eux, Timothy Dalton campe un parfait méchant hollywoodien, inspiré d'Errol Flynn, mais avec une particularité : il est cette fois un espion nazi. Fidèle à l'esthétique des années 40, le film est un bel hommage aux serials d'époque, porté par une mise en scène soignée et une bande originale signée James Horner. Dans l'émission, c'est Faye qui vous parle de cette adaptation et vous recommande vivement la vidéo de Meea consacrée au film, un contenu riche et très bien documenté qui revient sur son histoire et son impact : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=casrC6hCdV0 Les nouvelles aventures de RocketeerCette semaine, The Rocketeer revient chez Delcourt avec un album hommage célébrant l'héritage de Dave Stevens. Ce recueil réunit plusieurs histoires inédites signées par de très grands noms du comics, parmi lesquels Kurt Busiek, Mark Waid, John Cassaday, Michael Allred, Bruce Timm ou encore Adam Hughes. Avec son esthétique soignée, cet album est un superbe objet empli de nostalgie, un véritable hommage à l'univers et au style du créateur de The Rocketeer. Cependant, si vous ne connaissez pas encore ce héros à jetpack, on vous conseille plutôt de commencer par les comics originaux de Dave Stevens ou par le film de Joe Johnston, car ce nouvel album s'adresse avant tout aux fans de longue date déjà attachés à l'univers de The Rocketeer.

In this episode — recorded on the somewhat sombre Wednesday after the U.S. elections — we welcome the wonderful Beverley Glick to our Hammersmith lair and ask her about her New Romantic nom de plume Betty Page. Beverley tells us about her early days on Sounds, where she started out as editor Alan Lewis' secretary, and talks us through her seminal 1980 encounters with Spandau Ballet and Steve Strange. Her subsequent early interview with Duran Duran leads us to clips from David Keeps' 1993 audio interview with the Brummie band's frontman Simon Le Bon. After touching briefly on Depeche Mode, whom Beverley also interviewed very early on, our guest revisits the short-lived Noise! — Sounds' very own attempt at "doing" a Smash Hits — and recounts her subsequent path to the editorship of the rather longer-standing Record Mirror. Memories of mad moments with Happy Mondays (for Vox), and Beverley's eventual graduation to national newspapers, take us to her decision to forsake journalism for a career as a life coach specialising in "leadership communication" — and as the author of this year's In Your Own Words. A few glum thoughts on the political distortion of words such as "freedom" segue into our homage to the brilliant and outrageous Quincy Jones. Mark then quotes from newly-added library pieces about the Who (1965) and Ronnie Scott (1979)... and Jasper wraps up the episode with his thoughts on articles about "Brazilian Prince" Ed Motta (2006) and Tricky's magnificent Maxinquaye (2023). Many thanks to special guest Beverley Glick. For more Beverley, including info on her books and coaching, visit beverleyglick.com.

In this sizzling episode of Cultpix Radio, we're diving horns-first into Satanic September, our devilishly delightful themed month. Prepare your souls (and your eyeballs) for a hellish ride through our infernal collection!We kick things off by bragging about our recent documentaries, including some fancy-schmancy lectures from the Wickman Week film festival - we managed to persuade several professors and international academics to come all the way out to rural Sweden to discuss vintage smut. We've even added subtitles to Christina Lindberg's Swedish chatter - because nothing says "exploitation cinema" like educational content!Then we descend into the fiery pits of Satanic September, featuring such unholy gems as:1. "Satan in High Heels" (1962) - Because nothing says 'devil worship' like fabulous footwear!2. "To Hex with Sex" (1969) - A comedy about making deals with the devil. Spoiler: It doesn't end well (but it's hilarious).3. "Enter the Devil" (1972) - A budget so low, even Satan wouldn't touch it.We also gush about our eternal flame "Alucarda" (1977) and wax poetic about regional exploitation films. Who knew Texas and Florida were hotbeds of cinematic sin?Looking ahead, we tease you with upcoming theme weeks that'll make your head spin (maybe literally):- "31 Nights Until Halloween" - Because 31 days just isn't enough spook for your buck.- "Art-sploit" week - Where we pretend exploitation films are high art. Bring your beret!- Joe Sarno week - Swedish-American co-productions that'll make you say "Uff da!"- A Dutch treat with Just Jaeckin and Sylvia Kristel - Prepare for an Emmanuelle overload!- Irving Klaw week - Betty Page, anyone?We wrap up by sharing the most hilarious excuses members have given for unsubscribing. Our personal favorite? "I was drunk and horny when I signed up." Hey, we've all been there, buddy!Remember, at Cultpix, we're adding new films faster than you can say "Hail Satan!" So stick around, sinners. It's gonna be one hell of a ride!

The Rocketeer is a 1991 film set in the late 1930s that follows the story of Cliff Seacord, a stunt pilot who becomes a superhero known as the Rocketeer. The movie was initially released as a Disney film but later changed to Touchstone due to its uncertain target audience. The film has pacing issues and struggled to find its audience, but has gained a cult following in recent years. The cast includes Billy Campbell as Cliff, Jennifer Connelly as Jenny, and Timothy Dalton as the villain Neville Sinclair. The movie draws on real rumors and Hollywood history, incorporating elements like Howard Hughes and Errol Flynn. It also features nods to Betty Page and the Zeppelin. Overall, The Rocketeer is a nostalgic and visually appealing film that blends adventure, romance, and superhero elements. The conversation covers various topics including the iconic Ennis House, the difference between steampunk and diesel punk and production rumors. Meredith and Greg also discuss alternate universe shows and the potential revival of The Rocketeer franchise. 00:00 - Introduction and Childhood Memories 09:26 - Setting and Historical Context 15:06 - The Unpredictability of Success in the Film Industry 18:23 - Real Rumors and Hollywood History in The Rocketeer 25:32 - The Cult Following and Legacy of The Rocketeer 27:41 - The Iconic Ennis House and Its Film References 30:00 - The Fascination with Zeppelins 35:32 - Steampunk vs. Diesel Punk 51:39 - The Battle to Keep The Rocketeer's Helmet 53:57 - The Potential Revival of The Rocketeer Franchise Learn more about your ad choices.

Schedule a 1-1 reading at ⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/reading⁠ This past month has been quite full for me with moving to a new home and starting a new class of the Vedic Astrology Mentorship for both Year 1 and Year 2 students. To celebrate last week's New Moon in Dhanishta, here are some patterns the Year 2 students observed with people who have Dhanishta in their chart: Dhanishta is present in some of the most famous celebrities, particularly those who are known for their looks; Marilyn Monroe, Betty Page, Jayne Mansfield, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and others. Mars in Dhanishta is present in some of the most creative people; its a great placement for rappers such as Jay Z, Missy Elliot, Snoop Dogg and 2Pac who have this. It's also present in other highly creative artists like Leonardo Da Vinci, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. Note: If you don't have a nakshatra in your chart, you still experience it's qualities during transits. Dhanishta represents wealth and success. The symbol is a drum which is both solid and hollow inside. As we all have gone through the Feb 9th New Moon in Dhanishta, there are some energies that are heightened over the month following Feb 9th. This is a good month for listening to music, creating music and dancing. It's a great time for setting aspirational and ambitious goals, but remembering that achieving the goal could lead to sense of hollowness once attained, so it's not as much about the goal, but who you become along the way, and who you get to be in pursuit of that goal, in the dance of life.

In this episode we welcome the excellent Gary Kemp to RBP's Hammersmith HQ and invite him to talk about Spandau Ballet, the New Romantics and Pink Floyd. After describing the pop baptism that was watching David Bowie sing 'Starman' on Top of the Pops, Gary recalls seeing the Sex Pistols at the Screen on the Green; the Bowie nights at Billy's; Steve Strange and the Blitz kids; and the formation of the band that became Spandau Ballet. With special reference to Betty Page's Sounds pieces on Spandau, we discuss the New Romantics and their complex relationship with the music press. From Spandau to Floyd is not a segue anyone would have made back in 1979, but Gary explains how he saw the half-century-old Dark Side of the Moon played live at Wembley's Empire Pool in 1974 and how he later joined forces with Floyd drummer Nick Mason in Saucerful of Secrets. In the course of a conversation about Dark Side, we hear clips from Jim Sullivan's 1997 phone interview with the late Rick Wright, who reflects on the state of Syd Barrett and his own (temporary) firing from Floyd. With a nod to Rockonteurs — Gary's own great podcast with Saucerful of Secrets bassist Guy Pratt — we pay tribute to the late David Crosby, who was the duo's guest in early 2020. Mark then talks us out with quotes from pieces about the Beatles (1966), the New York Dolls (1973) and Joni Mitchell at the Troubadour (1968 and 1973), after which Jasper concludes the episode with quotes from reviews of Björk's Homogenic (1997) and a Manchester "Gods of Rap" show starring Wu Tang Clan, De La Soul and Public Enemy...

In this episode we welcome bestselling author and screenwriter Nick Hornby to RBP's Hammersmith HQ and ask him to talk about his new book Dickens & Prince: A Particular Kind of Genius.We start by asking Nick if his original plan was to become a music journalist, then proceed to his first awareness of Prince in 1979. A broad discussion of the Minneapolitan marvel – and the parallels with Charles Dickens's "no off-switch" prolificacy – takes in his first London show in 1981, his mastering of multiple overlapping genres, his (and Dickens's) "weakness for women"... and the profound shock of his death in 2016.The imminent reissue of Boz Scaggs's 1969 debut album provides the opportunity to hear clips from the late Andy Gill's 1997 audio interview with the blues-soul smoothie. Among other things, Nick, Barney and Jasper touch on Muscle Shoals, Silk Degrees and Boz's spine-tingling version of Richard Hawley's 'There's a Storm Comin''.After Jasper offers his thoughts on newly-added library pieces about the Human League and British hip hop, we indulge in a brief chat with the Fever Pitch author about football's World Cup, which at the time of recording had reached the semi-final stage. Find out who Nick wanted to win...Many thanks to special guest Nick Hornby. Dickens & Prince: A Particular Kind of Genius is published by Penguin and available now.Note that this episode was recorded on December 14th, four days before the sad news came through that we'd lost Specials/Fun Boy Three star Terry Hall.Pieces discussed: Betty Page sees Prince live at the Lyceum, Prince airs his Dirty Mind to John Abbey, Prince in Pieces by Chris Heath, Boz Scaggs audio interview, The Human League do Christmas and Stevie Chick on how UK hip-hop got its groove.

Broadway-bound songsmith Frank Loesser wrote “Baby It’s Cold Outside” as a call-and-response duet for he and his wife to perform at parties. Several years later, the tune made its way into a movie and soon took the Christmas canon by storm. But is it a “rapey” relic of a bygone era that should be buried permanently in the winter snow?

Do we have any more requests?WOMAN: Baby, It's Cold Outside!MAN: I think we can make that happen. Who wants to take the duet?AMNA KHALID: In the new Netflix rom-com Love Hard, Josh volunteers to sing a duet with his girlfriend — his pretend girlfriend, actually — Natalie:JOSH: Natalie and I got this one, Dad.KHALID: The two are out caroling with his family in snowy Lake Placid.NATALIE: Over my cold, dead, lifeless body. I am not singing that — that is like the sexual assault theme song.KHALID: Natalie refuses at first to sing that Christmas song, because, you know, it's that song — the one in which a man is possibly pressuring a woman into spending the night. But Josh has an idea.JOSH: Look, this is what we’re gonna do, okay? You just do your part. I will change my lyrics so the song doesn't sound so, uh, rapey. NATALIE: Fine, let's just get this over with.JOSH: Dad, hit it. 🎶NATALIE: I really can’t stayJOSH: No problem, there’s the doorNATALIE: I’ve got to go awayJOSH: I hear you, say no moreNATALIE: This evening has beenJOSH: Totally consensualNATALIE: So very niceJOSH: I hope you get home safe tonightKHALID: It's become fashionable in recent years to alter the lyrics of Baby, It's Cold Outside to make them less “rapey,” as the character Josh put it. Others have pushed back, however. The song, they claim, is about a desirous woman battling not the unwanted advances of her date but the unsolicited judgment of society.🎶LYNN GARLAND: I really can't stayFRANK LOESSER: But Baby, it's cold outsideGARLAND: I've got to go awayLOESSER: But Baby, it's cold outsideGARLAND: This evening has been —LOESSER: Been hoping that you'd drop inGARLAND: So very niceLOESSER: I'll hold your hands, they're just like iceKHALID: I'm Amna Khalid. On this episode of Banished, The Bother with Baby.CHRIS WILLMAN: The song was written in 1944 as a song that Frank Loesser and his wife originally sang at a housewarming party.KHALID: Chris Willman is a longtime music journalist, currently at Variety.WILLMAN: Kind of like, the night’s about to end, we’re about to kick you out, and here’s a song about whether to stay or whether to go.KHALID: Wow, I would have loved to be at that party.WILLMAN: Oh, yeah. And apparently they performed it over a period of years to the point that, when it was licensed for a film in 1949, Frank Loesser’s wife resented it. She may have been joking, but she was resentful that it was no longer their private thing because they were such a hit on the party circuit with it.KHALID: The song existed in private for five years, sung only by Loesser and his wife Lynn Garland. The two made one of the very first recordings of the song, which we’re listening to now. 🎶LOESSER: Baby, make my conscious your guideGARLAND: I really can't stay LOESSER: Oh, Baby, don't hold outGARLAND AND LOESSER: Ah but it's cold outsideLOESSER/GARLAND in the clearKHALID: Baby was evocative of the holidays, it was redolent of cigarettes and booze and, yes, it was sexually suggestive.GARLAND: And it was our song.KHALID: That’s Lynn Garland from the documentary Heart and Soul: The Life and Music of Frank Loesser:GARLAND: And we became the most desired guests at parties from coast to coast. And we never failed to slam.KHALID: Garland recalled once that, "Parties were built around our being the closing act.”🎶LOESSER: I thrill when you touch my handGARLAND: But don't you see? LOESSER: How can you do this thing to me?KHALID: It was merely the opening act, however, for the song itself. Baby was such a sensation at private gatherings that Loesser worked it into his score for the 1949 movie Neptune's Daughter. This would be the first time anyone heard the song outside of someone’s living room.WILLMAN: And when it went public in 1949 it kind of exploded. Immediately, people started covering it. My favorite version of the song, by Johnny Mercer and Margaret Whiting. I think that was the biggest hit anyone had with it that year.🎶WHITING: I really can't stayMERCER:  But Baby, it's cold outsideWHITING: I've got to go awayMERCER: But Baby, it's cold outsideWHITING: This evening has beenMERCER: Been hoping that you'd drop inWHITING: So very niceMERCER: I'll hold your hands, they're just like iceKHALID: No fewer than 10 separate recordings were made in 1949 alone. Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Doris Day, Dinah Shore. They all put their stamp on the song, but the version you’re probably most familiar with is the one that Chris Willman prefers. The one you hear on adult contemporary radio stations every December, when they switch over to an all holiday format. The classic recording by Johnny Mercer and Margaret Whiting.🎶WHITING: To break the spell MERCER: I'll take your hat, your hairs looks swellWHITING: I ought to say no, no, no sir MERCER: Mind if I move in closer?WILLMAN: I like it partly because it sounds like 1949. It really puts you in that era where these people are really playing out these roles. I think when people do modern versions it sounds kind of ridiculous because you don’t really buy it, that they have to go through this dance. It’s coming through the same radio where we hear all these incredibly sexually — not just suggestive but explicit songs — and so it’s hard to hear modern singers and still have that sense of reserve and that there are these restrictions on what they have to go through. And for some reason the sexual heat seems more intensified to me when it sounds like it’s happening in that era. Johnny Mercer sounds horny when he’s doing it.KHALID: Yeah!WILLMAN: And Margaret Whiting too. And then, you know, when you hear Willie Nelson and Norah Jones doing it, it’s just not the same.KHALID: And that’s precisely the question for many modern listeners of the song. It may be apparent that Mercer feels the “sexual heat” — but what about Margaret Whiting? Is she feeling it too? That all depends on how you choose to interpret the lyrics, or, in the case of Neptune’s Daughter, what you choose to see on the screen.🎶ESTHER WILLIAMS: I really can't stayRICARDO MONTALBAN: Baby, it's cold outsideWILLIAMS: I've got to go awayMONTALBAN: But Baby, it's cold outsideKHALID: In the 1949 movie, Ricardo Montalban repeatedly tugs at the arm of Esther Williams. He pulls her gently back onto the couch and even removes her hat and stole when she puts them on to leave. To 21st century sensibilities, this pas de deux can seem more predatory than playful. But that's not likely the way that audiences viewed it 70 plus years ago, when Baby won best original song at the 22nd Academy Awards.COLE PORTER: The winner is Frank Loser for “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” (Applause)KHALID: That was Cole Porter presenting Loesser with his one and only Oscar, for a song that stumbled from parlor to parlor on the party circuit, into the motion pictures and onto your Spotify holiday playlist. Or maybe you’ve deleted it from the playlist. Because it’s that song. Chris Willman.WILLMAN: And I never imagined it being controversial, in my naïvete. And then I remember going to an Aimee Mann Christmas show, sometime in the early 2000s I think. And she was having a dialogue onstage with a comedian, and they started talking about quote/unquote rapey the song was and why doesn’t anybody notice that — comically taking off on some of the more sort of, possibly predatorial aspects that people might pick up on in the song. And then all of a sudden in the late 2000s, this becomes a serious topic of debate. And that kind of shocked me, how seriously people were taking the idea that the song was quote-unquote “rapey.”REPORTER: A Bay-area radio station has now yanked the song from its airwaves.REPORTER: Well you won’t be hearing it on WDOK in Cleveland. The radio station’s decided to pull the song from their playlist.WOMAN: You know, it’s a sweet, flirty, fun holiday song.REPORTER: Is it a song about Christmas or creepy behavior? That’s the debate that has led radio station KOIT to ban a popular holiday tune from the airwaves.REPORTER: And you know what? It’s giving people yet another thing to disagree about.WILLMAN: Really in the late 2000s was when it reached peak controversy with radio stations suddenly banning it. The CBC said they were taking it off the air in Canada. There were stations in San Francisco and Denver and somewhere else that said we’re getting rid of the song. But certainly there were lots of serious essays being written too, from a feminist perspective, about how times have changed, people need to recognize that the song celebrates sexual coersion. And then there was the backlash to the backlash from people like me, saying: No, this song is not what you think it is or what you’ve come to believe it is. It’s actually very feminist, very sex-positive to use kind of a corny term.KHALID: According to Chris Willman and other fans of the song, it’s a mistake to interpret the song as if it were written today. Not only is that ahistorical, it’s simply incorrect. Simply put, the song doesn’t mean what many think it means.WILLMAN: People who read it as a date rape song would seize on things like What’s in this drink? As if the guy had placed a drug in her drink. Which is a very contemporary reading because nobody was talking about date rape drugs in 1949, and the, you know, real interpretation of the lyric is that it’s just a strong drink. But reading further into it, she’s trying to pass off the excuse for her own sexual desire onto these things like, “It must be the alcohol affecting me.” But she is the one saying maybe just a cigarette more or maybe half a drink more. It’s really about her putting up every excuse she can think of for why people might not think it was right that she spent the night. You know, one of the key lines to me is I ought to say no, no, no. She’s not saying I want to say no, no, no. It’s I ought to. Just in that word choice alone I think you understand where the song is coming from circa 1949, those expectations of society.🎶ELLA FITZGERALD: I really can't stayLOUIS JORDAN: But Baby, it's cold outsideFITZGERALD: I got to go awayJORDAN: But Baby, it's cold outsideKHALID: In the mid-1940s, the idea that a woman would desire casual sex was taboo. For her to say as much explicity would be deemed “prurient” by network censors, and so Loesser had no choice but to employ subtext. 🎶FITZGERALD: And father will be pacing the floorJORDAN: Listen to the fireplace roarKHALID: In the version you’re listening to now, also recorded in 1949, you hear Ella Fitzgerald chafing at the double standard, when her reputation as a Lady would be ruined if word got out that she stayed the night. Meanwhile, Louis Jordan is free to plead his case for a one-night stand.🎶BETTY CARTER: I really can't stay RAY CHARLES: Betty, it's cold outsideKHALID: Loesser uses musical counterpoint to underscore that Baby is more conversation than conquest. It’s a technique you may recall from his opening number to Guys and Dolls — but his mastery of it is evident in the brilliant 1961 recording of Baby by Ray Charles and Betty Carter. Here Carter emerges from the stifling hypocrisy of the 1950s onto the cusp of a more liberated decade. Both Charles and Carter are softly stepping onto each others’ toes as they negotiate their roles and desires.🎶CHARLES: Beautiful, please don’t hurry.CARTER: Well, maybe just a half a drink moreCHARLES: Why don’t you put some records on while I pour CARTER: The neighbors might thinkCHARLES: Betty, it’s bad out there CARTER: Say, what’s in this drink? CHARLES: No cabs to be had out thereKHALID: Carter is perhaps weary of having to pretend and — without her friends and family fretting and finger-wagging — might make known her own sexual appetite. That’s what Lady Gaga did when she and Joseph Gordon-Levitt gender swapped the parts back in 2013 on the Muppets Holiday Spectacular:🎶GORDON-LEVITT: I really can't stay GAGA:  But Baby, it's cold outsideGORDON-LEVITT: I've got to go away GAGA: But Baby, it's cold outsideGORDON-LEVITT: This evening has been GAGA: Been hoping that you'd drop inGORDON-LEVITT: So very nice GAGA: I'll hold your hands, they're just like iceKHALID: But Gaga wasn’t the first woman to bare her libido in the song.WILLMAN: The woman who helped popularize the song, Zooey Deschanel in Elf, she’s part of a duo called She & Him. They introduced it into their repertoire when they made a Christmas album (and they’re doing a tour this year) where they did a role reversal on the song. I think that’s alright. I mean, there’s a tradition of doing a role reversal with the song that goes back to the original movie, Neptune’s Daughter, where first you see Ricardo Montalban and Esther Williams doing it the way you know it. And then there’s a more comedic reprise where Red Skelton and I believe Betty Garrett do it and she’s virtually attacking him to the point that it almost seems really predatorial in that regard.🎶SKELTON: I really can't stay GARRETT:  But Baby it's cold outsideSKELTON: I've got to go away GARRETT: But Baby it's cold outsideSKELTON: This evening has been GARRETT: Been hoping that you'd drop inSKELTON: So very nice GARRETT: I'll hold your hands, they're just like iceWILLMAN: But then to hear Zooey Deschanel say that the only way they could do the song on their Christmas tour was to do the role reversal … made me kind of sad.KHALID: For those who find Baby creepy, a role reversal, it turns out, is not the only way to perform the song. I said at the beginning that it’s become fashionable in recent years to simply rewrite the song. In 2016, Lydia Liza and Josiah Lemanski performed their updated lyrics on the Minnesota radio station The Current.🎶LIZA: I really can't stayLEMANSKI: Baby I'm fine with thatLIZA: I've got to go away LEMANSKI: Baby I'm cool with thatLIZA: This evening has been LEMANSKI: Been hoping that you get home safeLIZA: So very nice LEMANSKI: I'm glad you had a real good timeLIZA: My mother will start to worry LEMANSKI: Call her so she knows you are comingLIZA: Father will be pacing the floor LEMANSKI: Better get your car a-hummingLIZA: So really I'd better scurry LEMANSKI: Take your time.LIZA: Should I use the front or back door?LEMANSKI: Which one are you pulling towards more?KHALID: The video of this performance has been viewed well over a million times on YouTube alone. And that romantic comedy Love Hard — the one in which Josh changes the lyrics to make them less “rapey” — that’s been showing up on lists of the year’s best Christmas movies.🎶NATALIE: Or maybe just a half a drink more.JOSH: Slow down, that’s quite a pour. NATALIE: The neighbors might think JOSH: Just my old friend Troy NATALIE: Say what's in this drink? JOSH: It’s just Lemon La CroixNATALIE: I wish I knew how JOSH: To take a hint? NATALIE: To break the spell JOSH: Do you know how to spell farewell? NATALIE: I ought to say no, no, no. JOSH: I’ll call you an Uber, they’re close. NATALIE: At least I can say I tried. JOSH: I feel like you’re not trying at all. NATALIE: I really can’t stay.JOSH: Well, maybe just go out. NATALIE: But Baby, it’s cold outside. JOSH: But Baby, just go outside. KHALID: Some of these rewritten versions are admittedly clever and funny, but I confessed to Chris Willman that the controversy took me quite by surprise.KHALID: And in part, I should say, it’s because of where I come from. You know, I come from Pakistan and I’ve grown up with Bollywood films — Bollywood films of the 70s and 80s — and, in that time period, any kind of explicit reference to sex or a sexual encounter or desire was, of course, not considered socially acceptable. Hence all these songs in Bollywood films. That’s their purpose, it’s to be suggestive. And this trope of one of them saying stay — usually the guy — and the girl saying No I must go because look at what the world will say if I stay is so commonplace in Bollywood. Have we gone to the other extreme where we’ve lost the sense of what constitutes romance and by overemphasizing the need for explicit consent and reading everything through that lens?WILLMAN: Well it’s funny, that comes up when people have done rewritten lyrics, where they’re emphasizing consent. And I think initially that was done  satirically, like at every turn the guy is saying, Well, yeah, maybe you should go … Get outta here, I’ll … sure, I’ll call Uber. And I thought that was a funny take on it, but then you see people seriously rewriting it. And first off the song is hilarious. Let’s just say that. It’s a comedic song. And when you’re gonna take the comedy out of it, along with the dance of seduction or agreement or whatever is happening and say, Would you sign this contract please? There’s not much of a song at that point. You know, it’s such a masterpiece, really, of songwriting — the way the rhyme scheme happens between the two different parts simultaneously back and forth, you know it’s very sophisticated as a duet. To take all that away and say that nothing is important about the rhymes, or the themes or the general tone of the song is really to lose the point.🎶“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” (1949) in DanishWILLMAN: You know, it holds such a unique place in the Christmas canon, even though it’s not a Christmas song, because it is flirty and racy and you just hear so much Christmas music that is not really about romance. Or if it is, it's extremely schmaltzy. To hear two people come on who are suddenly expressing real feelings in these very funny and literate lyrics, there’s nothing else on the radio like it. There’s nothing that funny or that sexy in the Christmas music canon, and so even the people that think they should be offended by it can’t bring themselves to get rid of it.KHALID: And that’s perhaps the song’s single greatest contradiction. Why hold onto it at all if we have to censor it? And yet there it is, year after year. More than 450 covers of the song and counting. Role reversals and rewrites and translations, including this Danish language recording that is among the very oldest, from 1949.If you liked what you heard today, help us spread the word and support our work at Booksmart Studios.

کتاب عشق سه سال طول می‌کشد 18. فرازها و فرودها   18. Des hauts et des bas La vie est une sitcom : une suite de scènes qui se déroulent toujours dans les mêmes décors, avec à peu près les mêmes personnages, et dont on attend les prochains épisodes avec une impatience teintée d’abrutissement. L’entrée en scène d’Alice là-dedans m’a surpris, un peu comme si l’une des trois Drôles de Dames débarquait sur le plateau d’Hélène et les Garçons. Pour décrire Alice, je n’irai pas par quatre chemins ; c’est une autruche. Comme cet oiseau cou reur, elle est grande, sauvage, et se cache dès qu’elle sent le danger. Ses interminables jambes minces (au nombre de deux) supportent un buste sensuel doté de fruits arrogants (de même nombre). De longs cheveux, noirs et raides, couronnent un visage intense bien que doux. Le corps d’Alice semble avoir été conçu exclusivement pour déstabiliser les gentils hommes mariés qui n’avaient rien demandé – ou ne demandaient pas mieux. C’est ce qui la différencie de l’autruche (avec le fait qu’Alice ne pond pas d’œufs d’1 kg). Je me souviens très bien de notre première rencontre, à l’enterrement de ma grand-mère, où j’étais venu sans mon épouse, que les obligations familiales ennuyaient, à juste titre. La famille est déjà quelque chose de pénible quand c’est la vôtre, alors imaginez quand c’est celle d’un mari… C’était d’ailleurs moi qui lui avais soutenu que, là où elle se trouvait, Bonne Maman ne se rendrait vraisemblablement pas compte de son absence. Je ne sais pas, j’avais dû sentir que quelque chose allait m’arriver. Toute l’église surveillait mon grand-père pour voir s’il pleurerait. « BON DIEU, FAITES QU’IL TIENNE », priais-je. Mais le curé avait une botte secrète : il évoqua les cinquante ans de mariage de Bon Papa avec Bonne Maman. L’œil de mon grand-père, pourtant colonel en retraite, se mit à rougir. Lorsqu’il versa une larme, ce fut comme un signal de  épart, la famille entière ouvrit les vannes, sanglota, se répandit en regardant le cercueil. Il était inimaginable de se dire que Bonne Maman était là-dedans. Il a fallu qu’elle meure pour que je me rende compte à quel point je tenais à elle. Zut, à la fin. Quand je ne quittais pas les gens que j’aimais, c’étaient eux qui mouraient. Je me suis mis à pleurer sans aucune retenue car je suis un garçon influençable. Quand j’ai cessé de voir trouble, j’ai aperçu une belle brune qui m’observait. Alice m’avait vu dégouliner. Je ne sais pas si c’est l’émotion, ou le contraste avec le lieu, mais j’ai ressenti une immense attirance pour cette mystérieuse apparition en pull moulant noir. Plus tard, Alice m’avoua qu’elle m’avait trouvé très beau : mettons cette erreur d’appréciation sur le compte de l’instinct maternel. L’essentiel, c’est que mon attirance était réciproque – elle avait envie de me consoler, cela se voyait. Cette rencontre m’a appris que la meilleure chose à faire dans un enterrement, c’est de tomber amoureux. C’était une amie d’une cousine. Elle me présenta son mari, Antoine, très sympa, trop, peut-être. Pendant qu’elle embrassait mes joues mouillées, elle comprit que j’avais compris qu’elle avait vu que j’avais vu qu’elle m’avait regardé comme elle m’avait regardé. Je me souviendrai toujours de la première chose que je lui ai dite : — J’aime bien la structure osseuse de ton visage. J’eus le loisir de la détailler. Une jeune femme de 27 ans, simplement belle. Frémissement de cils. Rire boudeur qui fait bondir ton cœur dans sa cage thoracique soudain trop étroite. Merveille de regards détournés, de cheveux dénoués, de cambrure au bas du dos, de dents éclatantes. Mowgli Cardinale dans Le Livre du Guépard. Betty Page étirée sur un mètre soixante-dix-sept. Une folle rassurante. Une allumeuse calme, d’une réserve impudique. Une amie, une ennemie. Comment se faisait-il que je ne l’aie jamais rencontrée ? À quoi me servait-il de connaître tant de monde si cette fille n’en faisait pas partie ? Il faisait froid sur le parvis de l’église. Vous voyez très bien où je veux en venir – oui, ses tétons durcissaient sous son pull moulant noir. Elle avait des seins érigés en système. Son visage était d’une pureté que démentait son corps sensuel. Exactement mon type : je n’aime rien tant que la contradiction entre un visage angélique et un corps de salope. J’ai des critères dichotomiques. À cet instant précis j’ai su que je donnerais n’importe quoi pour entrer dans sa vie, son cerveau, son lit, voire le reste. Avant d’être une autruche, cette fille était un paratonnerre ; elle attirait les coups de foudre. — Tu connais le Pays basque ? lui ai-je demandé. — Non mais ça a l’air joli. — Ce n’est pas joli, c’est beau. Quel dommage que je sois marié et toi aussi, parce que sans cela nous aurions pu fonder une famille dans une ferme de la région. — Avec des moutons ? — Évidemment, avec des moutons. Et des canards pour le foie gras, des vaches pour le lait, des poules pour les œufs, un coq pour les poules, un vieil éléphant myope, une douzaine de girafes, et plein d’autruches comme toi. — Je ne suis pas une autruche, je suis un paratonnerre. — Eh oh ! Si en plus tu lis dans mes pensées, où allons-nous ? Après son départ, j’ai erré, enchanté et insouciant, dans Guéthary, le village de Paul-Jean Toulet et le paradis de mon enfance. Je me suis promené, frais et léger, alors que je déteste les promenades (mais personne ne s’en préoccupa : les gens font toujours des trucs absurdes après un enterrement), j’ai déambulé devant la mer, tenant compte de chaque rocher, chaque vague, chaque grain de sable. Je sentais mon âme déborder. Tout le ciel était à moi. La Côte basque me portait plus de chance que la baie de Rio. J’ai souri aux nuages assoupis dans le ciel et à Bonne Maman qui ne m’en voulait pas.

Once again in The Cave of Thrones the Core Three welcome Belia and very special guest and notorious White Whale Palermo.  The show begins with a discussion of Palermo's love of Betty Page, but then jumps quickly to his views on the detainment issue south of the border, the continuing soap opera that is Gil's and Belia's mom's life, and Palermo's return to the single life.  Eventually, the conversation comes full circle before fading out on another classic debate: abortion.

Women in catsuits team up with a Betty Page-a-like to take down the patriarchy!

"Only mediocrity is safe from ridicule. Dare to be different".   She's "The Queen of Burlesque", an American vedette, burlesque dancer, model, costume designer, entrepreneur, singer and actress. She's a 'glamour evangelist' and repopularized burlesque performance after creating a persona modeled on Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe and Betty Page. She has no problem with being "objectified" and challenges the misconception that "it's what's on the inside that counts". With Dita, it's very much what's on the outside that counts.   It's a perspective I really struggled to understand until I looked deeper into her ten words. This show is as much a personal journey into my understanding of what makes her tick, as much as it is a show about a truly remarkable, unique and complex woman.   Is packaging everything? Is she real? Fake? Or does the self-created persona she loves so deeply really have a deeper purpose?   Let's find out...

Today's Guest: Billy Campbell, actor, The Rocketeer, "Once and Again," Meteor Order 'The Rocketeer' starring Billy Campbell and Jennifer Connelly, available from Amazon.com by clicking on the DVD cover above! No movie I can recommend captures the pure summertime wonderment of films better than The Rocketeer. It’s got action, adventure, a man with a jetpack strapped to his back and the spectacular Jennifer Connelly as Betty Page. I can watch The Rocketeer a hundred times and never get tired of it. Which brings us to today’s guest, Billy Campbell. There are two actors that Mr. Media believes cannot work enough and Billy Campbell is one of them. (Bruce Campbell—no relation—is the other.) He recently appeared opposite Ricky Gervais in Ghost Town—my 12-year-old daughter's favorite DVD of the moment. And, of course, he co-starred for too few seasons in the ABC drama, "Once and Again." Now Campbell is starring in NBC's new miniseries "Meteor" as Jack Crowe, a Los Angeles police officer who tries to protect his family fromhis crazy and corrupt ex-partner—as well as from those darn meteors falling from the sky. Jason Alexander—playing a far more serious person than he ever did as George Costanza on “Seinfeld”—introduces the advancing catastrophe that begins the NBC mini-series. “Meteor” begins on Sunday, July 12 from 9-11 p.m. and concludes next Sunday, July 19.

(Apologies for sound quality, mic issues, and heavy breathing) The crew (minus 1 but plus 3) goes to Vegas! We are introduced to new people like Torso Man, Consistent Booty Shaker, Racist Jay, and Dude Love. We then talk about the origins of our yearly Vegas trip, the purchasing of a Betty Page painting, and when we figured out an old friend was racist. Then, even though our White Whale finally landed on the podcast, Tobias screwed up the audio so it's as if we threw him back into the water. We finish up by describing a concept for a new chain of restaurants, relive a Griffin bar incident, and then open up about how we felt when we learned that the one weekend six heteros decided to go to Vegas it just happened to be gay pride week.
