Case and Jmike are joined by Micah McCaw to assess the Symbolism Supreme in Alan Moore's Supreme Story of the Year.   Overview   In episode 141 of the Men of Steel podcast, hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson, alongside guest Micah McCaw, delve into Alan Moore's influential 12-issue run on Supreme, titled "Supreme: The Story of the Year." They highlight the comic's groundbreaking nature upon its release in the mid-90s, reimagining Supreme—a character initially created by Rob Liefeld and akin to Superman—by incorporating innovative storytelling techniques, such as in-universe “revisions” of the character and comments on comic book history. The discussion spans various aspects of the series, including its artistic evolution through different illustrators and the provocative themes surrounding superhero relationships and villains. Notably, the podcast emphasizes Moore's ability to blend humor with meta-narrative elements while maintaining continuity amidst complex plotlines, ultimately positioning Supreme as a celebrated reconstruction of traditional superhero narratives. As the hosts reflect on its significance, they recommend further explorations of Moore's work, ensuring listeners are left with a comprehensive appreciation for the series and its impact on the comic book landscape.   Notes Introduction to Supreme (00:50 - 11:43) Case Aiken and Jmike Folson host the Men of Steel podcast with guest Micah McCaw The episode discusses Alan Moore's 12-issue run on Supreme, also known as 'Supreme: The Story of the Year' The comic was published in 1995-1996 and was considered groundbreaking at the time Supreme is described as a thinly veiled Superman analog with similar powers and characteristics The hosts discuss how the book remained cutting edge for 20 years but now feels more commonplace ‍️ History of Supreme (11:43 - 25:55) Supreme was originally created by Rob Liefeld as part of Image Comics' launch Before Alan Moore, Supreme was an amoral, extremely powerful character (a Superman analog) Moore took over with issue #41 and completely reimagined the character The comic features regular flashbacks to different eras of comics, parodying Superman's timeline The art style shifts between contemporary and classic/retro depending on the time period shown Art and Creative Teams (25:55 - 35:04) Joe Bennett was the main artist, who would later work on Immortal Hulk Rick Veitch created the flashback sequences with distinct period-appropriate art styles Chris Sprouse joins as artist later in the run (only one issue in this collection) Alex Ross created promotional art and cover designs for Supreme The hosts note that the art quality is inconsistent throughout the series The Revision Concept (35:04 - 45:50) The comic introduces 'revisions' -

Samira Ahmed and guest critics - the novelist and anthropologist Tahmima Anam and Ben Luke from the Art Newspaper - give their verdict on the week's cultural releases. They've been to see Cate Blanchett in Anton Chekhov's play The Seagull at the Barbican Centre. The classic drama still features characters from Russian nobility – but it's given a modern-day treatment including VR headsets and quad bikes. They have also watched Sister Midnight, a film about a young bride called Uma who joins her husband in Mumbai but struggles to adapt to her new life and connect with the man she knew as a childhood friend. She wanders the streets, drawn to the moon and becomes an accidental outlaw.Also under consideration are portraits in an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery by Edvard Munch – an artist best known for his painting The Scream. Plus we pay tribute to Five Star's Stedman Pearson who's died at the age of 60.Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Claire Bartleet

Episode 093: Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Rory Mullarkey Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters, the third of the quartet of great plays that he wrote in the last years of his short life, is a symphonic study of the search for purpose and love. Three Sisters premiered in January 1901 at the Moscow Arts Theatre, where his previous two major plays, Uncle Vanya and The Seagull had debuted. As we record this episode a spellbinding new production is on stage at Shakespeare's Globe theatre in London. The text for that production is translated by playwright Rory Mullarkey, who joins us to explore Chekhov's masterpiece.

WHEN WE CEASE TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD by Benjamin Labatut (translated by Adrian Nathan West), chosen by Ted Hodgkinson ENTER GHOST by Isabella Hammad, chosen by Inua Ellams GHOSTING: A DOUBLE LIFE by Jennie Erdal, chosen by Harriett GilbertAs Head of Literature and Spoken Word-programming at the Southbank Centre in London, writers and writing are at the heart of Ted Hodgkinson's work. In 2020 he chaired the judging panel of the International Booker Prize and he has judged many other awards, including the Orwell Prize for Political Writing. His choice of a good read is a slim, genre-defying book by Chilean author Benjamin Labatut which packs a huge punch. It's about the scientists and mathematicians whose work has shaped our world, and the unintended - sometimes horrifying - consequences of scientific advancement.Inua Ellams is a playwright, poet and curator. His work includes Barber Shop Chronicles, The Half-God of Rainfall, and an updating of Chekhov's Three Sisters, set during the Biafran Civil War, and he's recently been announced as one of the writers of the next series of Dr Who. His choice is Isabella Hammad's 2023 novel Enter Ghost. After a disastrous love affair, British-Palestinian actress Sonia goes to stay with her sister in Haifa. Intending the visit as a holiday, she finds herself investigating her family's history and getting involved in a production of Hamlet, to be staged in the West Bank.Presenter Harriett Gilbert's choice is Ghosting by Jennie Erdal. A fascinating account of Jennie's time as ghostwriter for 'Tiger' (the publisher Naim Attallah), penning everything from novels to love letters in his name.Producer: Mair Bosworth

This week's Matinee, Paul, June, and Jason break down the 2007 Jim Carrey thriller The Number 23. They discuss all the bonkers names—from Topsy Kretts to Fingerling to Sirius Leary—the protagonist who hates dogs, Walter Sparrow's sanity, Bud Court's crazy room, the son's childish mug gift, Danny Huston's villainous vibe, and Chekhov's Saxophone. Plus, they ask “At the beginning is Jim Carrey basically playing Ace Ventura?” And Paul reveals his theory that maybe Walter Sparrow's dog bite gave him rabies. Is Paul right? Crack the code.

Is it correct to call someone who has served in the military someone in the service industry? And what is the difference between Chekhov's gun and Chekhov's bus? Tune in this week to find out all this and more, but only on "The Good, The Bad, & The Movies"!P.S.

It's the end of season 48, which means it's time for an episode of THE BEST Movie Ever Made where the boys talk about Hereditary. We're doing something a little different this week because Rob is underwhelmed, Bob is neutral, and Chris wants to be tea-bagged by Paimon and gargle all of his demonic goo because he loves this movie so much.Is Hereditary the pinnacle of “elevated horror,” or is it patronizing poo-poo that undermines its own premise through its excessive use of foreshadowing? Tune in and find out! Dude decapitates dad's daughter and is damned to don a demonic deity derby! Family drama, or family trauma? Chomping on Chekhov's Nuts! Unsettling scenes and surrealist style! Unforced foreshadowing that informs and frightens! Undeserved decapitation of dad's daughter (again)! Undetermined direction daring you to define it, and much, much more on this week's episode of The BEST Movie Ever Made! www.theworstmovieevermade.com

Chicago actor Christopher Donahue (currently playing Ebenezer Scrooge in the Goodman Theatre's production of A Christmas Carol), discusses playing the role of Gayev in the Goodman's 2023 production of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, directed by Robert Falls. Donahue reveals the challenges and rewards of discovering a character in rehearsal; how he finds humor alongside absurdity; how he takes inspiration from the original Dickens novel of A Christmas Carol; how people can be capable of change; his relationship with Tony-winning director (and friend of the pod) Mary Zimmerman; and finally, how the audience teaches you how to perform the play because the audience is the reason we do this. (Length 20:51) The post Chekhov To Dickens appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

Anika and Liz are pretty sure our alternate universe selves are well-rested, organised and completely on top of their lives. But we are here to be tired, messy and talk about the penultimate episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, "Fissure Quest"! While Anika was out touching grass, Liz was getting spoiled for every single surprise in this episode (and also getting blocked on Bsky by Mike McMahan) Jolene Blalock, our queen Curzon: why? "I don't mean to make this a carrot podcast, I just think they're a very overrated root vegetable."  Jokes about Harry never being promoted are tired, especially when we know the reason was Rick Berman's racism -- which makes this episode's twist a bit … yikes Who gets to be openly ambitious? And who has to keep their head down and wait patiently for recognition to be bestowed upon them?  Liz spoils the end The Day of the Jackal (2024) at 23:46, so deploy your skip=30 button if you need it FINALLY a Starfleet with a place for Anika Did the Harrys Kim hook up? Yes, obviously

Legends tell of a spectral Black Monk who last appeared a thousand years ago. When he appears to Kovrin, does it mean he insane or inspired? Anton Chekhov, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.   Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast.

Today's story follows Kovrin, an overworked scholar and young professor, who takes a long break in visiting the family who raised him. But when he sees the fabled Black Monk, is it a sign of insanity? Or is it inspiration? Chekhov explores themes of the selfish genius, contrasting that with selfless sacrificing for family.

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are watching, listener feedback, and analysis of the Apple TV+ series Silo. This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the Juliette centric episode and the role her father played in her moving to Mechanical and ultimately taking on the Sheriff job. Has Marnes become Juliette's ally, or does he, like Sims, hope she falls on her face as the murder investigations continue? In our What We're Watching segment, Dave begins reading the first novel of the Silo trilogy, and Wayne finished The Penguin which he describes as "awesome." In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands mentions our general dislike of Sims, Alan in Missouri wonders about the wisdom of Jules and Martha talking over the radio, and Alan in England brings up the narrative device of Chekhov's Tape. Remember to join the genre television and film discussion on the SciFi TV Rewatch Facebook group for the latest genre television show news and podcast releases. Episode Grade: A

Ever feel like a movie or show disappoints you? Like they missed an opportunity? Like they let you down somehow but you can't quite place it? Well, it might be a Chekhov's Gun problem. In this episode, hosts Tasha Huo and Josh Hallman discuss what Checkhov's Gun is, why it's important in writing stories, how to use it, and examples of great and failed uses of Chekhov's Gun in popular movies.   Follow us @ACTTWOWRITERS Questions/Comments: ActTwoWriters@Gmail.com Edited by Paul Lundquist 

Al Pacino's childhood was spent in a tough neighborhood in the South Bronx. But he grew up among a crew of wild kids who often found themselves on adventures rivaling those of Huckleberry Finn. Those childhood antics proved foundational for Pacino, who details these stories and more in a new memoir, Sonny Boy. In today's episode, Pacino speaks with NPR's Ari Shapiro about the experiences that ignited and fed his love of acting, like a performance of Chekhov's The Seagull that changed his life. They also discuss the influence of the actor's mother and grandfather on his upbringing and whether Pacino still feels like a nonconformist at 84 years old.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
