Continuing with Jim Henson Month on In Search of the Crystal Skull, Arun and Patricia look back on the 1982 fantasy film The Dark Crystal. 1000 years ago, everything was peaceful and prosperous, but then a crystal known as The Dark Crystal was cracked and a shard was missing making its guardians divided into two creatures: the Mystics and the Sketsis. The Sketsis rule the world leaving the world in disarray while living in luxury while The Mystics are awaiting a prophecy to being fulfilled. A young Gelflin named Jen is told that he is destined to find the shard of The Dark Crystal and put it together to restore the world to its former glory. When the film premiered in theaters, it made $41 million dollars out of a $25 million dollar budget with mixed reviews by critics calling it a watered down fantasy story with bland characters, a dark undertone that was out of place from Jim Henson's Muppets, and a lack of charm, whimsy, and fun. However, the critics were impressed with the puppetry and background set pieces. It currently has a 78% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Nowadays, it has gained a cult following and in recent years, comic books, novels, a visual history book by pop culture author Caseen Gaines, a video game, and a prequel series on Netflix helped The Dark Crystal reach a new audience. What did Arun and Patricia think of the film? Listen and find out. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/old-school-lane/support

Shuffle Along was the Hamilton of its era, this author claims back this iconic show's place in Musical Theatre history.
Shuffle Along was the Hamilton of its era, this author claims back this iconic show's place in Musical Theatre history.
When Caseen Gaines sat in a darkened theater to watch the final performance of Shuffle Along, he had no idea that experience would lead to a book. But as soon as he heard “I'm Just Wild About Harry,” he knew he'd be doing research to figure out why he knew the song, but not the show. When Broadway was Black: The Triumphant Story of the All-Black Musical that Changed the World is the exploration of the importance of Shuffle Along and how a show so popular it changed the traffic patterns in New York could be excised from America's social and cultural memory. Caseen joins Julie to talk about the show's lasting impact, the person who surprised and delighted him most in his research, and his love of fan culture. He designs his dream dinner party, and Julie confirms that the guests' imaginary attendance is mandatory. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Black and Published, Nikesha speaks with Caseen Gaines, author of When Broadway Was Black: The Triumphant Story of the All-Black Musical that Changed the World. Caseen Gaines is an author, director, educator, and pop culture historian. He is the author of We Don't Need Roads: The Making of the Back to the Future Trilogy, A Christmas Story: Behind the Scenes of a Holiday Classic and Inside Pee-wee's Playhouse, which earned Caseen a 2012 Independent Publisher Book Award.

"Shuffle Along" was the soundtrack that launched the Harlem Renaissance. Days after its debut, a group of armed white men terrorized Tulsa, Oklahoma. So why do so many of us know about Tulsa, but most of us have never heard of this musical? The answer is a little counterintuitive. Host Dexter Thomas speaks to author Caseen Gaines, actor Amber Iman, and scholar Dr Catherine M. Young about why the first successful all-black musical keeps getting buried (but still influences us, 100 years later).

This year marks the 100th Anniversary of Shuffle Along! The groundbreaking musical that kicked off a decade of vibrant black musical theatre on Broadway which included more than a dozen shows created by black songwriters, black bookwriters, black producers, black directors and choreographers -- and these shows brought hundreds of black actors, singers, dancers, and musicians to Broadway. This landmark event is being celebrated with the release of two wonderful new books – including the first full biography of Shuffle Along's composer titled -- Eubie Blake: Rags, Rhythm and Race by Richard Carlin & Ken Bloom And Footnotes: The Black Artists Who Rewrote the Rules of the Great White Way by Caseen Gaines. I have had the great pleasure of interviewing the authors of both of these books and you have the opportunity to meet all three of them in a series of upcoming episodes. This week it is my honor to introduce you to Caseen Gaines whose extraordinary book, Footnotes, tells the story of how four young black artists -- Noble Sissle, Eubie Blake, Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lyles overcame poverty, racism, violence and the legacy of slavery to produce a runaway Broadway hit that ushered in both the Harlem Renascence and the “Jazz Age” on Broadway. If you pay close attention to Broadway, as I know many of my listeners do, you will remember the that in 2016, writer and director George C. Wolfe created a star-studded Broadway musical which he tittled “Shuffle Along, or, the Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed”. As that title suggests, this was not a revival or revisal of the of the original show but instead it attempted to tell the behind-the-scenes story of the making of Shuffle Along. You will also remember that it closed rather abrubtly and unexpectedly less than 3 months after it opened. There was, however, at least one positive outcome from the early demise of that show -- and that's where my conversation with Caseen begins. Learn more about your ad choices.

Caseen Gaines' Footnotes: The Black Artists Who Rewrote the Rules of the Great White Way (Sourcebooks, 2021) is a rollicking, entertaining, and fascinating cultural history of the 1921 Broadway musical Shuffle Along. Created by Black writers and composers and performed by an all-Black cast, Shuffle Along was one of the early cultural milestones of the Harlem Renaissance, not least because it launched the career of Josephine Baker. While it was beloved in its time, the humor of Shuffle Along came to be seen as offensive in subsequent decades, and it has not been staged in its original form since it closed almost 100 years ago.

Caseen Gaines' Footnotes: The Black Artists Who Rewrote the Rules of the Great White Way (Sourcebooks, 2021) is a rollicking, entertaining, and fascinating cultural history of the 1921 Broadway musical Shuffle Along. Created by Black writers and composers and performed by an all-Black cast, Shuffle Along was one of the early cultural milestones of the Harlem Renaissance, not least because it launched the career of Josephine Baker. While it was beloved in its time, the humor of Shuffle Along came to be seen as offensive in subsequent decades, and it has not been staged in its original form since it closed almost 100 years ago.

One hundred years ago, the first all-Black musical, SHUFFLE ALONG, helped change the face of Broadway. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Sandi Henschel discuss author and narrator Caseen Gaines's fascinating and well-researched history of the struggles of Black actors. Noble Sissle, Eubie Blake, Flournoy Miller, and Aubrey Lyels combined their talents to write SHUFFLE ALONG, a political satire that challenged the racist norms and had Black actors portraying non-stereotypical characters. Gaines's narration brings both the period and the people to life. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website. Published by Blackstone Audio.

Some would call late Comic-Con founder Shel Dorf “controversial,” others “#$%!!,” still others their “greatest inspiration and friend.” The only thing everyone can agree on is that the Comic-Con would never have happened without Shel. And now his closest Con compadres open up about the reason why. As well as thoughtful reflections of Shel's contentious departure in 1984 … right as the Con and geek culture took a giant leap forward.Narrated by Brinke StevensCreated and Directed by Mathew KlicksteinExecutive Produced by Rob SchulteWritten and Produced by Mathew Klickstein, Rob Schulte, and Christopher TylerEdited by Rob Shulte, and Christopher TylerMixed by James Bilodeau Original Music Composed by Max DeVincenzo and Produced by Fox Tracks MusicWith help from Brannan Goetschius and Michael FischeAll interviews (unless otherwise noted) conducted by Mathew Klickstein.Principal interviewees/contributors (in alphabetical order):Al Jean, Anthony Russo, Barry Alfonso, Barry Short, Bill Lund, Bill Mumy (provided by contributor), Bill Schanes, Bjo Trimble, Bob Arendt, Brinke Stevens, Bruce Campbell, Caseen Gaines, Chuck Graham (provided by SDSU), Clayton Moore, Dave Clark, Dave Scroggy, Erin Hanna, Gene Henderson, Greg Bear, Gregory Benford, Gus Krueger, Felicia Day, Frank Miller, Ho Che Anderson, Igor Goldkind (provided by SDSU), Jackie Estrada, Jeanne Graham (provided by SDSU), Jim Cornelius, Jim Means, Jim Valentino, Joe Russo, John Pound, John Trimble, Kevin Eastman, Linda Yeh, Lloyd Kaufman, Kevin Smith (provided by contributor), Len Wein (provided by M.

A long buried Broadway secret is now getting national attention because of one man's long shot. Chris and Alex welcome the return of author CASEEN GAINES, this time to delve into how his new book, FOOTNOTES, is getting national recognition. From the Hollywood Reporter to the New York Times, and more. The three dig deep into the gamble that Caseen took, writing about the fate of a long forgotten, controversial 1920s black Broadway musical ("Shuffle Along"). How a show that was a hit, while igniting conflict on both sides of the color line, then and for many years there after. It's an episode that explores the creative process, pitching to mainstream publishing, and the double-edge complications of racial representation.

COMIC-CON BEGINS: Origin Stories of the San Diego Comic-Con and the Rise of Modern Fandom
We forge ahead at light speed into the complex scenario of how the first San Diego Comic-Con was cobbled together by our illustrious cast of kooky characters. From there, we venture onward through the mid-1970s as the Con grows exponentially in both physical size and attendance, heralding the “golden years” at a ramshackle downtown hotel that had seen better days called the El Cortez.Narrated by Brinke StevensCreated and Directed by Mathew KlicksteinExecutive Produced by Rob SchulteWritten and Produced by Mathew Klickstein, Rob Schulte, and Christopher TylerEdited by Rob Shulte, and Christopher TylerMixed by James Bilodeau Original Music Composed by Max DeVincenzo and Produced by Fox Tracks MusicWith help from Brannan Goetschius and Michael FischeAll interviews (unless otherwise noted) conducted by Mathew Klickstein.Principal interviewees/contributors (in alphabetical order):Al Jean, Anthony Russo, Barry Alfonso, Barry Short, Bill Lund, Bill Mumy (provided by contributor), Bill Schanes, Bjo Trimble, Bob Arendt, Brinke Stevens, Bruce Campbell, Caseen Gaines, Chuck Graham (provided by SDSU), Clayton Moore, Dave Clark, Dave Scroggy, Erin Hanna, Gene Henderson, Greg Bear, Gregory Benford, Gus Krueger, Felicia Day, Frank Miller, Ho Che Anderson, Igor Goldkind (provided by SDSU), Jackie Estrada, Jeanne Graham (provided by SDSU), Jim Cornelius, Jim Means, Jim Valentino, Joe Russo, John Pound, John Trimble, Kevin Eastman, Linda Yeh, Lloyd Kaufman, Kevin Smith (provided by contributor), Len Wein (provided by M.

Just because they were geeks doesn't mean our intrepid Con creators were any less impacted by the “drugs, sex, and rock-and-roll” of the 1960s. We delve deep into the intimate experiences of these colorful characters of the Comic-Con and how their passion for pop culture was affected by the volatile era's seismic cultural, political, and technological shifts.

COMIC-CON BEGINS: Origin Stories of the San Diego Comic-Con and the Rise of Modern Fandom
We plunge down the time tunnel to the earliest days of fandom: back before nerds were cool, before science fiction was taken seriously, and before comic book characters ruled Hollywood. It was a time when fans could only connect through ‘zines and specialty magazines. A time when MAD Magazine and The Twilight Zone expanded the minds of youth across the nation. And a time when a small group of high school kids in San Diego met a visionary super-fan from Detroit named Shel Dorf.Narrated by Brinke StevensCreated and Directed by Mathew KlicksteinExecutive Produced by Rob SchulteWritten and Produced by Mathew Klickstein, Rob Schulte, Christopher Tyler, and James BilodeauEdited by Rob Shulte, Christopher Tyler, and James BilodeauMixed by James BilodeauOriginal Music Composed by Max DeVincenzo and Produced by Fox Tracks MusicWith help from Brannan Goetschius and Michael FischeAll interviews (unless otherwise noted) conducted by Mathew Klickstein.Principal interviewees/contributors (in alphabetical order):Al Jean, Anthony Russo, Barry Alfonso, Barry Short, Bill Lund, Bill Mumy (provided by contributor), Bill Schanes, Bjo Trimble, Bob Arendt, Brinke Stevens, Bruce Campbell, Caseen Gaines, Chuck Graham (provided by SDSU), Clayton Moore, Dave Clark, Dave Scroggy, Erin Hanna, Gene Henderson, Greg Bear, Gregory Benford, Gus Krueger, Felicia Day, Frank Miller, Ho Che Anderson, Igor Goldkind (provided by SDSU), Jackie Estrada, Jeanne Graham (provided by SDSU), Jim Cornelius, Jim Means, Jim Valentino, Joe Russo, John Pound, John Trimble, Kevin Eastman, Linda Yeh, Lloyd Kaufman, Kevin Smith (provided by contributor), Len Wein (provided by M.

While participating in a creative arts program to support and inspire young men of color, Chris and Alex talk with two pros they've interviewed before. Once again TTDS welcomes authors, Caseen Gaines and Omar Holman to the show. Both were Chris' students in high school. Now they have books coming out that, as Chris put it, "... are significant enough to become required reading..." In very different ways Caseen's "FOOTNOTES," and Omar's "BLACK NERD PROBLEMS," explore and comment on media, pop culture, race in America, and defining identity. Whether it be a culture's, a community's, -- or one's own. *This interview is excerpt from a project done in cooperation with Young Men's Initiative, City of New York.

This week Alex and Chris talk about coronavirus head on; what's happening to us. They discuss the effect all aspects of this disease are having on us, and how too many creators are struggling to create in its shadow. We talk about the importance of commiserating with each other on social media or through texting, zoom, FaceTime, or whatever it takes. We are all craving human connection now, especially when family members or friends become sick, or sadly, pass away. We need to extend our humanity to each other now more than ever They also take a look at some activities that can help nourish and inform creatives, including the Corona Con, which is much more uplifting and charitable than it may sound, and the testimony of the legendary Joe Illidge, who has written about the experiences he and his wife had while battling coronavirus. This episode is meant to help, to celebrate, and to unify all of us. We pray that it is taken as such. Peace and health, everybody. We've enjoyed hearing from you!

Por escrito o en audio, la reseña de Capitán Pada sobre Star Wars: The Force Awakens Obviamente, va con spoilers. El libro “We Don´t Need Roads: The Making of the Back to the Future Trilogy” de Caseen Gaines, recoge las siguientes palabras de Robert Zemeckis sobre las películas secuela: “La audiencia tiene una relación de amor-odio con las secuelas. ¿Qué es lo que realmente quieren? Quieres la misma película, pero diferente. Pero espérame, no tan diferente, porque entonces me va a molestar. No puedes tener contentos a todos con una secuela” Star Wars: El Despertar de la Fuerza es más que una secuela. Si bien tiene la labor de enamorar de nuevo a varias generaciones que entraron a éste universo con la trilogía original o con la trilogía precuela, también, y quizás la más importante, era la de abrir nuevamente la puerta para más historias, más producciones, más personajes y que las letras delineadas con amarillo nunca dejen de alimentar el hambre de los fanáticos. El Episodio VII cumple con ambas misiones, para bien y para mal. Irse a la segura es a lo que Zemeckis se refiere, y es lo que su colega J.J. Abrams hizo. Se le olvidó que la historia de A New Hope nos la sabemos de memoria y entonces realizó un Episodio IVs, si habláramos en términos de Apple. Tan es así, que el más grande spoiler de la cinta es predecido varios minutos antes, pues la última vez que vimos que un grupo de héroes se separó dentro de las cámaras del arma gigante de los villanos, uno de ellos no regresó vivo. Para el VII, sólo era cuestión de saber si iba a ser Chewbacca o iba a ser Han Solo el que dejaría su asiento libre. En la misma publicación antes citada, ahora rescatamos las palabras del co-creador de BTTF, Bob Gale: “Tuve una discusión con Tom Pollock, el jefe de estudio, sobre el marketing de la parte II. Yo queria que la audiencia supiera que estaba comprando un boleto para la segunda entrega de tres. Pollock decía que la parte II ya era una sola pieza por sí misma, aunque sabía perfectamente que no lo era, y estaba muy equivocado. Recuerdo haberme decepcionado mucho con el final de El Imperio Contraataca. Han Solo en carbonita me decepcionó. No tenía ni idea de que habría una tercera, ni antes ni después, y mucho menos sabía cuándo saldría.Perdí esa pelea con Pollock y perdimos confianza de la audiencia” ¿Les hizo recordar algo? Así es. Si bien sabemos que ya se cocina un Episodio VIII y IX, supongo que no soy el único que se sintío engañado por Abrams. Ahora todo tenía sentido: cuando el director dijo “Por algo no hemos mostrado la imagen de Luke Skywalker” es porque, si la mostraban, sólo le quedarían 5 segundos más de pietaje exclusivo para las funciones cinematográficas. Hay maneras de dejar en suspenso. Hay modos de terminar una cinta aún sabiendo que falta mucho por contar. Hay estilos, como el que tuvo el Episodio V, y hay decepciones, como lo hace el Episodio VII, acercándose más a cualquier final de las dos primeras entregas de El Señor de los Anillos que al propio legado de La Guerra de las Galaxias. Sin embargo, para no quedarnos con un mal sabor de boca, voy a lo que se se hizo muy bien. Con la velocidad con la que consumismos historias en los medios de comunicación, hay poco tiempo para el cariño. Los spoilers, la teaseritis y adelantos de lo que se viene, nos hacen conocer tanto el futuro de nuestros personajes, que ya no es una cuestión de saber qué es lo que le va a pasar, sino cómo le va a pasar, con un final previamente anunciado. El desarrollo de personajes en un breve lapso está en crisis, y sin embargo, The Force Awakens nos dispara uno, dos, tres, cuatro y hasta cinco joyas. El humor de BB8 bien balanceado y que en ningún momento pretende llevarse la película como el otro JJ, el Binks. A pesar de que tengo mis dudas sobre las muy rápidas y poco justificadas decisiones del stormtropper renegado, hacia el final de la cinta, Finn se siente agusto de éste lado de la guerra, y nosotros confiamos en él. Es Poe Dameron otro nuevo héroe que agrada, que sabíamos que ese carisma no estaba destinado a perecer en su primera gran intervención en la pantalla y que todavía puede dar mucho más. Por otra parte, el que se encuentra en una delgada tabla es Kylo Ren. A veces sí, a veces no. A veces es un digno representante del legado de los villanos a vencer por cada entrega, y a veces le falta mucho para llegarle a cualquiera que ustedes me mencionen. Aprovecho la mención del sujeto de negro con el sable bifurcado para anotar aquí, que me parece otra falta de respeto que hay muchas dudas que han tenido que ser aclarado en otro tipo de literatura y no dentro del guión de la película, como leer a Abrams explicando que fue BB8 el que despertó a R2D2 y no “de la nada” como muchos creíamos, o que el efecto chispeante de la nueva espada roja tiene una razón de ser: que al no ser un experimentado manejador de La Fuerza, a Kylo le falta todavía mucho por hacerse de un sable con una luz parejita. De regreso a los personajes, he dejado a propósito para el final, a nuestra adorada Rey. La chica que ha vaciado los anaqueles de sus juguetes. Un personaje que de inmediato entró y escaló en la lista de los mejores que la saga nos ha ofrecido en cualquiera de sus manifestaciones. Rey viene a demostrar, como debe de ser en pleno 2015/2016 que lo sexi no debe ser más el encorvarse para revisar el motor del automóvil. Que tanto chicas como chicos queremos más como Rey en cualquier historia que se cuente a partir de éste momento. Star Wars: The Force Awakens tuvo una responsabilidad muy grande sobre sus hombros, una responsabilidad de demostrar que el desembolso de 4.050 millones de dólares habían valido la pena. Y por eso se fue a la segura. Eso sí, es una producción impecable, que, irónicamente, en temas visuales y de efectos especiales, envejecerá más lento que lo que ya hizo la segunda trilogía. Y sí, sí queremos saber más sobre los nuevos y sobre los viejos personajes, pero espero que lo haga a partir de la construcción y la aportación propia y única.
