And now, we've got the second: BUTCHER'S CROSSING, also known as the movie featuring the crazy horse that kept trying to kill Nicolas Cage!

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy return to review six new films this week. They include the film that was supposed to be Nicolas Cage's first western, but wasn't (Butcher's Crossing). Documentarian Errol Morris gets inside the head of spy novelist John Le Carre (The Pigeon Tunnel) and comedian Bill Burr tries to not let the new woke generation get inside his (Old Dads). The director of Borat adapts a two-man show (Dicks: The Musical) and a new documentary on Amazon is a warm-up for this week's theme of property theft (Silver Dollar Road). That leaves us with the latest from Martin Scorsese on the true story of the 1920s murders amongst the Osage community in Oklahoma (Killers of the Flower Moon). 0:00 - Intro 2:02 - Butcher's Crossing 10:55 – The Pigeon Tunnel 15:49 - Old Dads 22:59 - Silver Dollar Road 32:18 - Dicks: The Musical 41:28 - Killers of the Flower Moon 1:00:54 – Preview of Next Week's Movies 1:02:09 - Outro

This has been a banner year for Nicolas Cage fans, as Butcher's Crossing marks his sixth (!) new film of the year… so far! This is a moderately spoiler-heavy episode, so if you want to wait until you've seen the movie (releasing in theaters on Friday, Oct. 20 and on VOD after that) to listen, just know: it's Cage's best movie of the year so far. We talk about feeling re-energized for this podcast based on the success of this movie, we admire the cinematography (and the landscape of the American West in general), and we discuss cinematic name coincidences. We talk about the tragedy of the American bison (and how it correlates to modern waste), Cage's bold (read: incredible) look in this movie, and how Butcher's Crossing adds elements of horror without ever going full-tilt. We find a new wrinkle on a Cage movie staple, talk about Cage's character's slow descent into madness, and whether or not Cage's star meter is higher right now than it's been since 2008.

Wassup nerds! Een heerlijke zondagochtend vol nerd goodness hebben we voor je klaarstaan. In deze aflevering bespreken we niet alleen het nieuws van de laatste week, maar gaan we het ook uitgebreid over Blue Beetle hebben en hebben we niet één, maar twee Nicolas Cage trailers voor je. Er gaat natuurlijk geen week voorbij zonder dat we het over Star Wars hebben en dat is dit keer niet anders. Over Ahsoka kwam naar buiten dat Dave Filoni's TV serie vernieuwd is voor seizoen twee. Deze beslissing is niet onlangs pas gemaakt, maar dit gebeurde al voor de writer's en screen actor's guild strike. We blijven nog heel even bij Star Wars want Guillermo del Toro bevestigde eerder dat hij samen met David S. Goyer bezig was voor een film. Dit zou een gangster film a la Godfather qua genre moeten zijn en zou het verhaal vertellen over de rise of Jabba the Hutt in onderwereld. Klinkt dope, wellicht dat het ooit nog gaat gebeuren. Dan moeten we het even over Deadpool 3 hebben. We hebben de afgelopen weken en maanden vele namen voorbij horen komen die verbonden zouden zijn aan dit project. Als we de geruchten mogen geloven wordt het een krankzinnig feestje qua multiverse cameo's wanneer Deadpool dan eindelijk zal gaan toetreden in de MCU. Deze week komt daar nog een extra naam bij, zo zou Daniel Radcliffe opduiken als een variant van Wolverine. Regisseur Shawn Levy heeft ondanks de leaks overigens geen spijt van het feit dat Deadpool 3 op locatie is geschoten. Een afgesloten green studio is misschien wat veiliger, maar doet ook een boel afbreuk aan de film. Aldus de regisseur. Last but not least hebben we een boel Nicolas Cage voor je. Zo checken we de trailer van zijn A24 film Dream Scenario. Hierin speelt Cage een doodgewone man die vanuit het niets zomaar opduikt in iedereens dromen wereldwijd. De tweede film van hem die we gaan checken heet Butcher's Crossing.

In dieser Folge diskutieren wir das Buch "Butchers Crossing" von John Williams. Es handelt von Will Andrews, der seine vielversprechende Karriere und Harvard verlässt, um im Westen eine Verbindung zur Natur zu finden. Er landet in Butchers Crossing, einer kleinen Stadt in Kansas, in der abenteuerlustige Menschen nach Glück suchen und schnell verdientes Geld verschwenden. Durch die Erzählungen eines Mannes namens Anthrus, der von riesigen Büffelherden in einem abgelegenen Tal in den Colorado Rockies erzählt, schließt sich Will einer Expedition an, um die Tiere aufzuspüren. Die Reise ist aufregend und anstrengend, aber am Ende erreichen die Männer einen paradiesischen Ort. Doch anstatt Ehrfurcht zu empfinden, werden sie von Gier ergriffen und entfesseln eine Tragödie. Das Buch thematisiert, wie man im Leben verlieren, aber dennoch gewinnen kann. Als ich das Buch in die Hand nahm, hatte ich zunächst Vorbehalte gegenüber Western und Büffeljagden, aber ich beschloss, mich auf die Geschichte einzulassen. Ich begann, mit Will Andrews nach Butchers Crossing zu reisen, und wurde von der Atmosphäre des Ortes mitgerissen. Das Buch nimmt mich mit auf Will's staubige Reise, und ich kann seine verzweifelte Suche nach dem Tal und die Hitze der Reise spüren. Später erfahre ich, wie es ist, in den Rockies festzustecken. Das Buch hat viele Höhen und Tiefen und lässt mich oft nachdenken. Es gibt nicht viele Dialoge, aber es wird viel ausgesagt. Die Charaktere sind facettenreich, und es gibt viele unausgesprochene Fragen, die den Leser zum Nachdenken anregen. Es sterben nicht nur Büffel, sondern auch Menschen. Ich finde das Buch sehr fesselnd und voller Vielschichtigkeit. Es ist schade, dass der Autor erst nach seinem Tod so bekannt geworden ist. Ich werde auf jeden Fall seine anderen Bücher, "Stoner" und "Augustus", lesen. Das Buch ist immer noch erhältlich, und ich empfehle es allen, die gerne in die Literatur eintauchen möchten.

Set in the 1870s, Gabe Polsky's adaptation of John Williams' literary western stars Nicolas Cage as a buffalo hunter who lures a naïve young man into an ambitious expedition in the Colorado Rockies.   On the red carpet at tiff 2022 and at the premiere of the film Butcher's Crossing, I caught-up with actors Nicolas Cage, Rachel Keller, and the rest of the cast, followed by the film's Q & A to discuss the Cage's decision to star in and strong themes in this movie. Best known for Moonstruck and his wild turns as cinema's most volatile man, Cage continues to prove he is also capable of great depth and nuance on screen, playing opposite Fred Hechinger (The White Lotus) in a beautiful adaptation of John Williams' literary western. This frontier epic tells the story of an Ivy League drop-out as he travels to the Colorado wilderness, where he joins a team of buffalo hunters on a journey that puts his life and sanity at risk. From Will's innocence to insight, as the adventure unfolds, Director Gabe Polsky (TIFF '14's Red Army) frames deep subject matter: greed, wrong & right, betrayal, destruction, distinction, and total carnage. Will and his ostensible mentor Miller fall into a spiral reminiscent of Willard and Kurtz in Apocalypse Now — something Cage nods to in the shades of Brando he brings to his performance.

Before this century's first global financial crisis struck Europe in 2007-2012, only people in the Brussels bubble had heard of the Eurogroup. By then, finance ministers from countries using the euro had been meeting in this format every month for ten years but – as Joscha Abels writes in The Politics of the Eurogroup: Governing Crisis and Conflict in the European Union (Routledge, 2023) - “the group had been almost invisible to the public". Over the next decade – and especially during the most acute phase of the Greek debt crisis in 2015 – that all changed. Devised in the 1990s as an informal body without decision-making powers, from 2010 onwards the Eurogroup assumed political authority for negotiating and approving bailout loans and making sure the conditions for those loans were met. Many memoirs have been written about these fraught years – including duelling books by former Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem and short-lived Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis – but Abels has written the first book-length theoretical and institutional assessment of the Eurogroup itself. Joscha Abels is a research associate and lecturer in political economy at the University of Tübingen. Educated at Mannheim and Oslo, he completed his PhD at Tübingen with a dissertation on the role of the Eurogroup. His most recent research work is on infrastructure policy and geoeconomics. His new paper - Does the current crisis mark the end of the EU's austerity era? - published in Comparative European Politics (Volume 21, Issue 2, April 2023) can be found here. *The author's own book recommendations are The Political Economy of Geoeconomics: Europe in a Changing World edited by Milan Babić, Adam Dixon, and Imogen Liu (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) and Butcher's Crossing by John Williams (first published 1960 - Vintage Classics, 2013).

The author of the Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery series, Donna Leon, is joined by writer-entrepreneur Margaret Heffernan and the presenter Harriett Gilbert. Donna has chosen a book by an author she greatly admires, Ross MacDonald, who she read before she became a writer herself. His 1971 noir novel, The Underground Man, follows a detective as he tries to track down a missing child, whilst a mysterious fire rages through the hills of Southern California. Margaret loves Butcher's Crossing, the lesser-known book by John Williams, the author of Stoner. Set in 1871, this is about a young Harvard drop-out who heads out into the American West to discover a new way of living and which Margaret describes as an 'anti-Western' novel. Meanwhile Harriett's choice is A Golden Age by Tahmima Anam, which follows a mother's struggle to protect her children as Bangladesh fights for independence. Produced by Eliza Lomas.

John Williams stora genombrott kom långt efter att hans död. Men då blev det desto större. Mikael Timm reflekterar över storheten i hans romankonst i denna essä. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes första gången 2019.Författaren John Williams skrev bara fyra romaner men åtminstone en av dem har kallats för den perfekta romanen. Den heter Stoner och utkom 1965. Titeln är namnet på romanens huvudperson, en anspråkslös lärare i litteratur vid ett obetydligt universitet någonstans mellan den lärda östkusten och den vilda västkusten. Som nog alla läsare gissat finns det stora beröringsytor mellan huvudperson och författare med ett par viktiga undantag: John Williams var inte anspråkslös, varken i klädsel eller debatter och heller inte utan framgång. Med tiden blev han något av en stjärna på Denvers universitet. Han var poet, tidskriftsredaktör och essäist och flitig i alla yrkesroller på vad som kallades Västerns Harvard. Och så var han då romanförfattare. Stoner vann respekt bland kolleger men nådde inte många läsare. Augustus, 1972, belönades med ett ansett pris, National Book Award, men blev ändå bortglömd eftersom priset för första och enda gången delades mellan två böcker det året. Och när John Williams avled 1994 var han en fotnot i det förflutna för att ett par decennier senare var tokhyllad bästsäljare. En modern klassiker i nivå med Hemingway och Faulkner.Williams och Stoner hade bägge lite otur i livet. I likhet med sin huvudperson levde Williams ett lugnt liv vid ett fridfullt universitet. Eller? Nja, det var lugnt till det yttre. Williams hade visserligen samma arbete i många år och reste föga och liknar i det sin huvudperson. Men Williams liv var fyllt av konflikter med kolleger, agenter, förlag, fruar och barn. Allt utspelat till ackompagnemang av klirret i cocktailglasen.Charles J Shields biografi Mannen som skrev den perfekta romanen arbetar sig igenom Williams liv med pedantisk nit och en stil som är lika konventionell som Williams är originell. Början av biografin är faktiskt rätt svår att tugga sig igenom, men även om Shields är en förskräckligt tråkig är hans huvudperson fascinerande: full at motsägelser, skaparkraft och destruktivitet.Williams lever i marginalen av USA:s kulturella scen och kanske är den placeringen både en förbannelse och en välsignelse. Hade han utvecklat sin egendomligt genomskinliga prosastil i New York där litteraturdebatten var en annan?Det är svårt att sätta fingret på det originella i Williams prosa denna svårighet gäller alla romaner. Han har inget återkommande berättargrepp som panoreringar över ett rum eller användande av inre monolog. Han berättar det mesta i löpande text den är neutral, också hans dialog är nedslipad.Så, vad är det som gör honom så märklig? Kanske att hans berättar-jag på något subtilt sätt befinner sig på samma nivå som läsaren.Shields djupläser inte Williams texter utan håller sig till det yttre hans arbete på universitetet, vilka han umgicks med, familjerelationer. Och det är nog bra, risken för övertolkningar av verk är påtaglig.Men ändå. Medan John Williams poesi förefaller tidstypisk akademisk är hans prosa motvalls, påtagligt egensinnig. Mest fascinerande är hans andra roman, Butchers Crossing som kom 1960. Titeln är namnet på en liten by i Västern på 1870-talet. Bokens huvudperson Andrews kommer från Boston och drivs till Vilda Västern av en vag med pockande längtan. Han vill något annat. Men vad?Det borde vara lätt att svara på  Butchers Crossing är tydlig på gränsen till övertydlig, öppen på gränsen till vidöppen. Williams verkar utgå från klichéer från västernfilmer. Här finns den kapitalistiske företagaren, den prostituerade kvinnan, den tuffe vildmarskännaren, den råe slaktaren, den försiktige nybyggaren. Ändå ter sig var och en av dem annorlunda än figurer jag mött i andra berättelser. Varje detalj i västernhålan, varje människa huvudpersonen träffar gestaltas - inte beskrivs. Allt är igenkännbart och gör samtidigt motstånd. Man sitter som under en Hitchcockfilm och undrar när det hemska ska hända.Den saknar praktiskt taget handling och skildrar fyra män som ger sig ut på buffeljakt, hittar dem, slaktar dem och överraskas av sträng kyla[berättelsen] rör sig framåt som om en snigel släpade den genom en damm av sirap. Man kan lägga ifrån sig den när som helst, det kommer många att göra.Så sammanfattade New York Times kritiker Butchers Crossing i en förödande recension. Läst idag är det tydligt att Butchers Crossing mer handlar om något som inte finns än något som finns. Det som saknas är berättarens avsikt. Nästan alla historiska romaner förmedlar känslan av att berättaren vet vad som ska hända. Läsaren är i trygga händer, vad texten än säger. Men Williams roman Butcher's Crossing förmedlar känslan av att allt händer i samma ögonblick jag läser texten. Allt är fritt. Och därmed svårt att tolka. Dess ytlighet är dess djup. Butchers Crossing sluter sig om sig själv.Detsamma kan sägas om personen Stoner som älskar att undervisa i litteratur, som är omutlig och därför går under. Litteraturen är hans religion. Men vad vill författaren säga?"Hoppet om framtiden gör oss otacksamma för de välgärningar vi fått mottaga", säger romaren Silanus i Maeterlincks pjäs om Maria Magdalena.Men tacksamhet var inte Williams bästa gren om man får tro vittnesmål från närstående och studenter. Och framtiden slutade han hoppas på. Inte ens framgången för Augustus 1972, en fullständigt lysande roman som hade lättare att nå en bredare publik genom sin klara struktur, beredde honom någon större glädje.Williams tycks ha blivit alltmer excentrisk med åren och framgångarna. Han slarvade med lektionerna, uppträdde berusad och förefaller nästan medvetet ha spelat ut sin lynnighet. Hans insatser som lärare i kreativt skrivande blev stilbildande vid amerikanska universitet men hans egen forskning var mest ansatser och han lyckades aldrig fullfölja sin sista roman som han arbetade med i åratal och ibland läste högt ur.Många har uppfattat Williams som en olycklig kollega till Stoner. Men budskapet i Stoner kan sägas vara: släpp fram livet. Augustus skulle säga: acceptera det. Men det verkar inte Williams ha gjort. Ändå undrar jag om det inte i hans loser-roll fanns ett inslag av revansch: Williams kunde till skillnad från sin romanhjälte Stoner ta klivet in i det excentriska. Han krävde uppmärksamhet och han fick det. Han var inte lycklig men han var sedd.1800-talsförfattaren Chateaubriand kallade sina memoarer Minnen från andra sidan graven eftersom han var övertygad om att bli förstådd först av eftervärlden. Att bli kallad Mannen som skrev den perfekta romanen borde ju framkalla sarkastiska kommentarer av litteraturälskare, för vem kan säga vad en perfekt roman är? Ändå framstår Williams tre romaner som närmast perfekta, var och en i sin genre.Därmed också sagt att de knappast kan vara förebilder. Williams insåg att tiderna förändrats men kunde inte ansluta sig till beatnikgenerationen, Hemingways hårdkokthet, Faulkners expressionism eller något annat litterärt mode. Han var klassicist, nästan mot sin vilja.Vår egen tid kan svårligen skildras med denna stilkonst men nog var Williams i nivå med Flaubert, en annan snarstucken, petnoga och hårt arbetande författare.Inte illa för en deppig lärare i Denver.Mikael Timm LitteraturCharles J Shields: John Williams  mannen som skrev den perfekta romanen.

Pari al suo coraggio e alla sua sete d'avventura, ci sono stati solo il suo intuito e la sua creatività, che hanno saputo fornire all'America che conosciamo oggi una mitologia fondante e una frontiera culturale, oltre che fisica. Buffalo Bill si è sdoppiato tra realtà e finzione, ha creato un'epica su di sé e sull'intera storia del suo Paese – rivedendola in parte, sapientemente –, ha fatto del teatro uno strumento di conoscenza ed espansione culturale. Sì, perché anche la prima pop star americana ha saputo conquistare i palchi internazionali (inclusi quelli italiani). Conosciamo meglio il mondo in cui si muove Buffalo Bill attraverso i romanzi "Butcher's Crossing" di John Williams e "Il sentiero del West" di A.B. Guthrie e con il saggio "Verso Ovest" di Bruno Cartosio. La puntata è stata realizzata con il contributo di Compagnia dei Caraibi e High West e prodotta dalla Good Luck Factory di Thomas Guiducci.

MINUTO LEITURA: Butcher's Crossing Um jovem desiste de um promissor futuro acadêmico dentro uma das mais prestigiadas universidades dos Estados Unidos na década de 1870, para realizar uma viagem em busca de autoconhecimento em meio a natureza selvagem – um lugar bem diferente da boa criação de um filho de pastor de uma cidade grande. Esse é o enredo de abertura do livro “Butcher's Crossig”, do norte-americano John Williams, publicado em 1960 e que retrata um pouco do drama da vida no árido faroeste a ser desbravado. O escritor John Williams é um gênio! Suas palavras são certeiras para nos fazer imaginar exatamente o cenário daquela época, como na simples caminhada pela rua principal da cidade enquanto um rastro de poeira sobe a cada passo de Andrews, o personagem central, que é pouco mais que um menino. Um dos pontos mais inteligentes da escrita do norte americano é sua habilidade em descrever uma cena sem abusar da repetição das palavras ou usar sinônimos complexos. Isso torna o texto leve ao mesmo tempo em que temos o peso das consequências de uma viagem como essas. Nessa história, um experiente caçador de pele de búfalos convence Andrews a fechar uma parceria que os levará por entre o oeste selvagem durante meses de caçadas e luta por sobrevivência, enquanto lidam com as diferentes personalidades de cada um. John Williams cria personagens fortes ao mesmo tempo que transbordam humanidade, transparecendo os anseios e medos, assim como as convicções que cada um carrega sobre como guiar a vida. Uma leitura que acelera gradualmente à medida em que as páginas vão contando os dias vivenciados pelos caçadores, quase em um paralelo ao amadurecimento pessoal do rapaz. Por Janary Damacena.
