Podcast appearances and mentions of brady jandreau

Jamison Bar-SO-tee and Blake Call-yer welcome Nate Pee-kwette onto the show this episode for a rousing conversation about a profound film by director Chloe Zhao, The Rider. We dig into why Nate picked the film, the fine line it walks between documentary and fiction, and the the numerous ways it addresses masculinity and "individualistic Manifest Destiny." It's a delightful conversation and we were so pleased to have Nate on to chat with us. Other topics we tangent into: intentional Christian communities, being from South Dakota and the Texas Panhandle, and Terrence Malick's filmography.

This episode is dedicated to two films by the Oscar winning director Chloé Zhao. We start off with NOMADLAND ( 4:00 ), in which Fran (Frances McDormand) is forced to go on the road and drive across the United States, following the availability of temporary jobs. The gem is Zaho's second movie THE RIDER ( 24:44 ) about a young cowboy named Brady, who is trying to find his feet again after a devastating rodeo accident. Brady Jandreau plays a fictionalised version of himself. Alan Mattli joins me to talk about the allure and the pitfalls of the American Dream and the refiguring of this most American figure of all, the cowboy. We also discuss whether the mixing of professional actors and amateurs can work or, whether instead of generating authenticity, it leads to fakeness.

With Antonia Quirke Nomadland won the BAFTA and Golden Globe for Best Film and is hotly tipped to win the Best Picture Oscar too. Director Chloe Zhao reveals how she cast many of her actors on a road trip across the American West. Zhao's previous film The Rider was The Film Programme's film of the year in 2018, and Antonia revisits her interview with its star Brady Jandreau, a real life rodeo rider and horse whisperer. Mark Jenkin is recording an exclusive audio diary for The Film Programme as he begins to shoot Enys Men, his follow-up to his BAFTA winner Bait. As the first day of principal photography approaches, Mark is beginning to lose sleep.

This week we discuss two Neo-Westerns directed by Chinese American filmmaker Chloé Zhao. The first is The Rider (2017), a semi-fictionalised account of former bronc rider Brady Jandreau. With a cast of real people playing themselves, Zhao captures an honest depiction of life in rural South Dakota, and of a man dealing with the effects of a life-altering accident. The second is Nomadland (2020), starring Frances McDormand as Fern, a widow who chooses to take up a life on the road living out of a van. The film has received much critical acclaim, garnering 4 Golden Globe nominations, and is a clear Oscar contender.   Timestamps The Rider (00:07:10) Nomadland (00:33:30) John Spillane's review of Birth (01:12:55)    Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie @thejohnspillane   Lane Scott video –  https://youtu.be/Ab_CnUA9aIM   Rolling Stone article – https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-features/wild-horses-how-the-rider-became-the-breakout-movie-of-2018-629297   Trey Parker & Matt Stone on Sean Penn – https://youtu.be/sCq3K2O8htw   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links https://www.justwatch.com

With 2018 in the history books, we're revisiting some of our favorite moments from last year's interviews. Stories of big breaks, trails blazed and getting back in the saddle...an actual saddle on a literal horse. We have ‘Blockers' director Kay Cannon, rodeo star turned actor Brady Jandreau, ‘Dear White People' creator Justin Simien, ‘Vida' showrunner Tanya Saracho and ‘Crazy Rich Asians' director Jon M. Chu.

SPOILERS! One of the best films we saw in 2018, this powerful, beautiful, and raw film brought us Brady Jandreau as a real life American horseman as seen through the eyes of director Chloe Zhao.

So it got our attention, and since it’s newly been released on Starz on Demand, we felt compelled to offer it the full Oscars Sprint Profile treatment. Not gonna lie, both Mike and I were worried about this choice of episode because Mike 1 has come out as vehemently against Horse Movies. It’s a rare prejudice, which he’s admitted is a bizarre and irrational prejudice, but he has refused to change his mind, and these were the stakes. After all the War Horses and Black Stallions, would The Rider finally change the heart of Mike 1? Or would he double down on his hatred for everything horse related entertainment? The format for the episode gives you two reviews for the price of one listen as we do a loaded non-spoiler segment before breaking down the entire plot after some spoiler warning dance music. This film fits our template especially well as we have quite the backstory to tell in the non-spoiler section, and we build on that with specs, the premise, our expectations, reviews of both the production values and performances, and an Oscar Lens, where we cover all the buzz The Rider is getting this awards season. Then we dance, give you a full segment on what the lead actor Brady Jandreau is doing these days as an actual cowboy himself, and then we break down the entire plot and it’s many strong uplifting themes, integrating all our bests and worsts along the way.

We're a little late to the game but we're here to discuss Chloé Zhao's April 2018 film "The Rider." The film flirts a delicate line between documentary and drama as it tells the true story of Brady Jandreau, a rodeo cowboy who suffers a traumatic brain injury and may never ride again. For the most part, the cast of this film is made up of the actual people who lived the events. We sip a pale ale that drinks like a West Coast IPA called "Pseudo Sue" from Toppling Goliath out of Deborah, Iowa and a dry-hopped farmhouse ale from Prairie Artisan Ales call'ed "Twist." Episode Timeline: 0:00 - 21:50- Intro, "Pseudo Sue," and "Hot & Bothered." 22:36 - 46:04- "The Rider" (No Spoilers) 46:42 - 58:35- "Twist" 58:36 - END- "The Rider" (Danger Zone) Please feel free to leave us a review or rating on iTunes or wherever it is you listen to this ear nectar!

Sam talks to Brady Jandreau, the star of Chloé Zhao's The Rider, in cinemas now. This true story sees real-life rodeo rider Brady Jandreau deliver a heart-stirring performance as a bronco rider who suffers a serious head injury at a bull-riding competition. When doctors advise against his ever competing again, Brady’s left searching for a purpose in life – for what’s the use of a cowboy who can’t ride or rodeo? The film is set on the wide and windy Dakota prairie, where Brady lives in a trailer with his sister (Lilly Jandreau) and their father (Tim Jandreau), all members of a Sioux family that has seen its share of hardship. The actors are non-professional, each playing a version of their real selves. A powerful blending of fact and fiction, and one man’s search for identity in the wreckage of the American dream.

Antonia Quirke visits Redcar, where they are re-creating the famous five minute, one-shot scene from Atonement of British soldiers evacuating Dunkirk , but without the budget of a blockbuster movie. There she talks to extras who were in the original and to to director Richard DeDomenici who specialises in thrifty versions of famous movies and scenes. Seamus McGarvey, the cinematographer of the 2007 drama, explains how they got that famous shot. Antonia talks to real life cowboy and rodeo champion Brady Jandreau about The Rider, a fictionalised account of his return to the sport after a serious head injury.

In the beautifully realized story of struggle and determination, young cowboy Brady Blackburn (Brady Jandreau), once a rising star of the rodeo circuit and an uniquely gifted horse trainer, is warned that his riding days are over after a horse badly crushed his skull at a rodeo and put him in a three-day coma. Back home on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, Brady struggles with the physical and emotional complications of the accident. He is comforted by his inimitable little sister Lilly (Lilly Jandreau), who has Asperger’s Syndrome, while tensions between him and his gambling father, Wayne (Tim Jandreau), approach a breaking point when Wayne resorts to selling Brady’s favorite horse to keep their trailer home. Brady finds himself wondering what he has to live for when he can no longer do what gives him a sense of purpose: to ride and compete. In an attempt to regain control of his fate, Brady undertakes a search for new identity and tries to redefine his idea of what it means to be a man in the heartland of America. Lead actor Brady Jandreau talks about his journey from the rodeo to his portrayal of a fictionalized version of his own brush with death, depression, and recovery, and the thrill of working with family and friends in this celebrated film debut by award-winning (Cannes Film Festival Directors’ Fortnight, Best Picture) director/writer /producer Chloe Zhao (Songs My Brother Taught Me).
