Podcasts about characters

In Aaron Sorkin's latest film, “The Social Reckoning,” the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg deals with multiple federal investigations and a whistle-blower's revelations about the damage that the company was causing young people. It's a dark sequel to the 2010 film, “The Social Network,” and, this time around, Zuckerberg is played by Jeremy Strong, who's best known as Kendall Roy on “Succession” and as Roy Cohn in “The Apprentice.” Strong undergoes an unusually intense level of preparation to inhabit his roles; he tells David Remnick that he would send Sorkin e-mails, while in character as Zuckerberg, at night after shooting. They discuss why Strong was rankled by The New Yorker's 2021 Profile of him, and his interest in playing characters who are “right on the fault line of everything that's going on in our world right now.” Further reading:“On ‘Succession,' Jeremy Strong Doesn't Get the Joke,” by Michael Schulman“ ‘Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere' Tamps the Boss Down,” by Richard Brody“ ‘The Apprentice,' Reviewed: The Immoral Makings of Donald Trump,” by Richard Brody“Masterstroke Casting in ‘An Enemy of the People,' ” by Vinson Cunningham“Farewell, Kendall Roy,” by Michael Schulman New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

Some characters are better as side characters than main characters. The Hulk is a great example. Rather than killing off a character once their time as the main character is over, storytellers can simply change their role. In this episode, I talk about why moving characters to the side can sometimes be the better storytelling decision. **CONQUER SHYNESS**

Celtic music didn't come from concert halls. It came from kitchens, docksides, and village greens — places built by community, not convenience. That same spirit is what protects the land today. You don't have to fix the whole planet by yourself. Buy from a local farmer. Fix something instead of tossing it. Plant one thing that feeds a bee. Small, local, ordinary acts — that's how communities have always taken care of the places they love. Sláinte, and thanks for listening. Join the Quest and Sing Along at www.pubsong.com!

Rabid Grannies is one of those movies where you can occasionally see the makings of a good trashy horror romp, only to have them immediately swallowed by the filmmaking. There are some genuinely grotesque ideas buried in here, and the basic premise of sweet old grandmothers turning into bloodthirsty monsters has plenty of potential. Unfortunately, the movie seems determined to hide whatever fun it might have under a thick layer of technical incompetence. The biggest problem is the ADR. So much of the dialogue sounds like it was recorded in a completely different room, sometimes at a completely different time, and the synchronization is frequently distracting enough to pull you right out of the movie. Even worse, a lot of the dialogue is borderline unintelligible. Characters talk, you can see their mouths moving, and yet somehow the actual words seem to have been lost somewhere between Belgium and your television. Then there's the lighting, which may be even more frustrating. Large portions of Rabid Grannies are so poorly lit that you're left trying to figure out what is actually happening in the frame. Horror can certainly benefit from darkness, but there is a difference between atmospheric shadows and simply not being able to see the damn movie. Some of the gore and creature work might have been fun if the camera had bothered to illuminate it properly. There is something interesting lurking inside Rabid Grannies, and if the technical presentation weren't so consistently awful, it might have been a much more entertaining piece of low-budget horror. Instead, you're forced to spend too much of the running time deciphering dialogue and squinting at nearly invisible action. It's not completely devoid of charm, but the movie buries most of its potential beneath its own terrible production values.

She also opens up about reconnecting with Patrick Duffy during COVID, their nightly Zoom conversations and the moment he finally drove from Oregon to Colorado to see if their friendship could become something more.Plus, Linda talks about returning to the stage, her lifelong love of music, handling criticism, getting older without “giving up,” and how she and Patrick turned a 70-year-old family sourdough starter into Duffy's Dough and a mission to help fight food insecurity.It's Linda Purl, still working, still laughing, still singing and very much Still Here.#LindaPurl, #PatrickDuffy, #HappyDays, #TheOffice, #Matlock, #AndyGriffith, #GarryMarshall, #RonHoward, #Dallas, #StillHereHollywood, #SteveKmetko YOUTUBE CHAPTERS00:00 Linda Purl Is Still Here01:02 Growing Up in Japan07:34 Becoming an Actor10:42 Auditioning for The Office12:17 Garry Marshall and the Happy Days Family14:49 The Truth About Improv on The Office16:20 The Lasting Bonds of Happy Days18:26 Returning to Happy Days as a Different Character20:16 Working With Andy Griffith on Matlock21:58 Andy Griffith's Wild Elia Kazan Story24:30 Linda's Advice for Young Actors27:43 Criticism and Bad Reviews29:21 Social Media and the New Hollywood32:37 Aging in Hollywood34:20 Linda's Other Career as a Singer38:55 Her New Album, From My Heart41:33 Reinvention and Gregory Harrison's Life Lesson44:22 Playing 16 Characters in Crazy Mama47:55 Falling in Love With Patrick Duffy53:05 Patrick's 70-Year-Old Sourdough Starter56:36 Turning Duffy's Dough Into a Business1:03:33 What Linda Hopes People Remember Show CreditsHost/Producer: Steve KmetkoAll things technical: Justin ZangerleExecutive Producer: Jim LichtensteinMusic by: Brian Sanyshyn https://stillherehollywood.comhttp://patreon.com/stillherehollywoodSuggest Guests at: stillherehollywood@gmail.comAdvertise on Still Here Hollywood: jim@stillherenetwork.comPublicist: Maggie Perlich: maggie@numbertwelvemarketing.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
