ONE OF THE GREAT SCI-FI FILMS OF OUR TIME!! Children of Men Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: https://www.acorns.com/rejects Children of Men Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Roxy Striar & John Humphrey as they plunge into Alfonso Cuarón's haunting dystopia Children of Men (2006). In a world where human infertility has led to societal collapse, disillusioned bureaucrat Theo Faron (Clive Owen, Sin City, The Bourne Ultimatum) is roped into escorting Kee (Clare-Hope Ashitey, Africa United, Resident Evil), a miraculously pregnant refugee, to safety. Along the way, they're shadowed by Julian Taylor (Julianne Moore, Boogie Nights, Still Alice), the fierce former activist intent on safeguarding humanity's last hope, and pressured by militant enforcer Luke (Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange). Veteran activist Jasper Palmer (Michael Caine, The Dark Knight, The Cider House Rules) provides crucial refuge—and the film's bleak, immersive vision of 2027 Britain is punctuated by stunning long-take set pieces: the devastating car ambush, the desperate street massacre in the refugee camp, and the epic Bexhill Beach battle shot in one continuous, unbroken shot. Don't miss Roxy & John's breakdown of these iconic scenes, the film's relentless tension, and its powerful themes of hope, redemption, and the fight for humanity's future!

Do you Remember the 72nd Academy Award Best Picture Winner? Do you Remember all the movies that were Nominated? We do and we didn't agree with it then and we don't agree with it now. Join us as we go back to 1999 and preview all 5 movies Nominated for Best Picture and then watch all 5 Nominated movies before reviewing them and declaring which movie should have won. The Nominations were The Insider, The Cider House Rules, The Sixth Sense, and The Green Mile.

This month's pick was Ronnie's and she chose, "The Wishing Game" by Meg Shaffer. After reading Irving's, The Cider House Rules we needed something a bit lighter so this feels like a perfect February read. When a reclusive writer who hasn't published a novel in years holds a contest on their private island, Lucy Hart needs to win. She wants to adopt a child but doesn't have the space or funds and winning this contest will giver her everything she needs. In this novel, the characters compete not only in the competition but with their traumas and fears in a wholesome romp. Listen to the whole episode to find out what we thought! We'd love to hear what you thought as well over at SharedPagesPod on Twitter.   Next month's episode is Heavy by Kiese Laymon!

Trigger Warning: This book and conversation contain discussions of rape, incest, and abortion.   Happy 2024 everybody! We're excited to start our reading for the new year with Ian's pick, John Irving's: The Cider House Rules. Ian chose this novel partially because he's wanted to read the story for a while and because it's Buffalo's Literary Center's Babel pick for March—the novel centers around a young Homer Wells who is an orphan at Saint Clouds. It deals with many topics such as abortion and morality and is very Dickensian in its voice. At the very least, it's an important piece of literature but spoiler alert, it's more than that.    Check out the podcast, let us know what you think, and read along with us next month when we start Ronnie's pick, The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer. You can send us comments over at Twitter.com/SharedPagesPod. Also, please consider leaving a rating and review wherever you're listening if you enjoyed this episode. 

VTDigger is re-releasing some of our favorite interviews of the past decade to mark the 10th anniversary of The Vermont Conversation.John Irving, widely hailed as one of America's greatest novelists, is back, and he has a lot to say.Irving, 81, is the author of 15 novels, including the international bestsellers “The World According to Garp,” “The Cider House Rules” and “A Prayer for Owen Meany,” which is his top-selling book. Irving's latest novel, “The Last Chairlift,” was released Oct. 17. It has been seven years in the making and at 900 pages, it is his longest work. He says that “The Last Chairlift” will be his last long novel.John Irving wrote his first novel at age 26. He competed as a wrestler for 20 years and coached wrestling until he was 47. He was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Irving has won a National Book Award, an Oscar and a Lambda Literary Award, among numerous other recognitions. His books have been translated into more than 35 languages.John Irving was born in Exeter, New Hampshire. He lived for many years in Vermont, first in Putney and later in Dorset. He sold his Vermont home in 2014 and now lives in Toronto. He is a dual citizen of Canada and the U.S.Irving has long tackled controversial issues in his novels. “The World According to Garp” (1978) has a transgender character, “The Cider House Rules” (1985) deals with abortion and “A Prayer for Owen Meany” (1989) confronts the fallout from the Vietnam War. His books have periodically been banned.“What are they banning? They're banning books about abortion and they're banning books on LGBTQ subjects,” he told The Vermont Conversation. “What they're saying to young, gay, lesbian, trans kids, they want them to feel even more alone and isolated than they already feel. They don't want those kids to have access to material that will let them know they're not alone. They already feel alone. There's a cruelty to that that is unspeakable.”Irving is a sharp critic of American politics today. Speaking about the recent Supreme Court decision striking down abortion rights, he said, “What they did is more in step with the Vatican than it is with the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”Irving's advice to young writers: “You can't let outside factors get under your skin. You have to stick to your purpose and be a kind of horse with blinders on. … You also can't get down on yourself after somebody's just kicked your tail. You've got to do it again and get better.”

Trigger warning: This novel discusses gun violence.   Our final read of 2023 is Gabrielle Zevin's: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. Spoiler alert, we both LOVED this novel. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow follows Sam Masur, Sadie Green, and Marx Watanabe from their time in college, through their collaborative work of creating video games and running a company. This novel is very human and delves into how people perceive each other, the world, and how we make meaning through art.    Our first read for 2024 is The Cider House Rules by John Irving.

Currently, Delroy is starring in the new Hulu series Unprisoned. It's about a father who reconnects with his adult daughter after serving a 17-year prison sentence. He plays Edwin, whose life changes when he moves in with his therapist daughter Paige, played by Kerry Washington. Delroy has been a public figure for a long time, and for most of that time, he didn't really talk about himself. Now? He's writing a memoir. On this episode of Bullseye, we asked him what changed.

2022 was a big year for John Irving, the author of "The World According to Garp," "A Prayer for Owen Meany," and "The Cider House Rules." He turned 80, and just recently published The Last Chairlift, his first novel in seven years.  It is 913 pages long and is, he says, the last long book he will ever write. Seemed like a great time to bring back our 2016 episode on John Irving. In it, he talks about why he approaches every book by writing the last sentence first.  And he might just convince you that his uncommon approach is the only one that makes any sense. In this episode, he also opens up about his early life, and reveals how his mysteriously absent father, his learning disability, and his passion for wrestling, all contributed to his success as a writer. Whether you've read every John Irving novel or none, this is a fascinating story about the writing process, and about an author some critics have called the Charles Dickens of our time.

John Irving has written some of the most acclaimed books of our time, among them: “The World According to Garp,” “A Widow for One Year,” “A Prayer for Owen Meany” and “The Cider House Rules.” He now returns with his first novel in seven years “The Last Chairlift.”

John Irving has written some of the most acclaimed books of our time, among them, "The World According to Garp," "A Widow for One Year," "A Prayer for Owen Meany" and "The Cider House Rules." He now returns with his first novel in seven years—a ghost story, a love story, and a lifetime of sexual politics, "The Last Chairlift."

We also discuss if this is Robin Williams best performance. Goofs: Byers makes us even older than we are by saying we were Will and Chuckie's age when we first saw this movie but we were closer to 17 than 20 and 22. For the record.

John Irving is the acclaimed author of novels including The Cider House Rules, The World According to Garp and In One Person. He joins David Common to talk about his latest book The Last Chairlift, why he's drawn to stories about LGBTQ characters and women's rights, and why he can't stop picking on his native United States – even after permanently relocating to Canada and acquiring Canadian citizenship.

John Irving, widely hailed as one of America's greatest novelists, is back, and he has a lot to say.John Irving, 80, is the author of 15 novels, including the international bestsellers “The World According to Garp,” “The Cider House Rules” and “A Prayer for Owen Meany,” which is his top-selling book. Irving's latest novel, “The Last Chairlift,” was released Oct. 17. It has been seven years in the making and at 900 pages, it is his longest work. He says that “The Last Chairlift” will be his last long novel.John Irving wrote his first novel at age 26. He competed as a wrestler for 20 years and coached wrestling until he was 47. He was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Irving has won a National Book Award, an Oscar and a Lambda Literary Award, among numerous other recognitions. His books have been translated into more than 35 languages.John Irving was born in Exeter, New Hampshire. He lived for many years in Vermont, first in Putney and later in Dorset. He sold his Vermont home in 2014 and now lives in Toronto. He is a dual citizen of Canada and the U.S.Irving has long tackled controversial issues in his novels. “The World According to Garp” (1978) has a transgender character, “The Cider House Rules” (1985) deals with abortion and “A Prayer for Owen Meany” (1989) confronts the fallout from the Vietnam War. His books have periodically been banned.“What are they banning? They're banning books about abortion and they're banning books on LGBTQ subjects,” he told The Vermont Conversation. “What they're saying to young, gay, lesbian, trans kids, they want them to feel even more alone and isolated than they already feel. They don't want those kids to have access to material that will let them know they're not alone. They already feel alone. There's a cruelty to that that is unspeakable.” Irving is a sharp critic of American politics today. Speaking about the recent Supreme Court decision striking down abortion rights, he said, “What they did is more in step with the Vatican than it is with the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”Irving's advice to young writers: “You can't let outside factors get under your skin. You have to stick to your purpose and be a kind of horse with blinders on. … You also can't get down on yourself after somebody's just kicked your tail. You've got to do it again and get better.”

On this week's Richard Crouse Show we'll meet actor and JUNO nominated, jazz singer and songwriter Alex Bird. The subject line of the email from his publicist really caught my eye. “Move over Bublé,” it read, “JUNO-nominated artist Alex Bird has released Canada's FIRST Thanksgiving song.” That's right, Thanksgiving finally has its own anthem courtesy of Alex Bird. In this interview we talk about the inspiration behind “The Sweetest Moments” and why Canada deserved a Thanksgiving song of its very own. We'll also meet Mark Critch, star of the hit CBC sitcom “Son of a Critch” and “This Hour Has 22 Minutes,” which celebrates its 30th season this year. We talk about his time spent on the political satire, and some of his antics, like photo-bombing Justin Trudeau, interviewing Great Big Sea's Alan Doyle (while impersonating Alan Doyle), offering Pamela Anderson a million dollars to stop acting, and crashing a White House briefing. Then, since publishing his first novel in 1968 John Irving has been a literary force. He is the Academy Award winning author of The World According to Garp, The Cider House Rules, A Prayer for Owen Meany and many others which have been translated into more than thirty-five languages. Today we talk about his latest novel The Last Chairlift, the epic story of a slalom skier with an eventful past, that displays his trademarked imagination, storytelling gifts, and intelligence.

Bark, boats, Bildungsroman. Our 50-part state series continues with Maine. The Survival of the Bark Canoe by John McPhee (1975) vs The Cider House Rules by John Irving (1985).

We're talking about John Irving again, but it's a bittersweet victory for Theresa. Why? We're diving into "The Cider House Rules," John Irving's pro-choice opus because several states are actively trying to strip women of their reproductive rights. We won't get into it right now, but the tale of an American hero, Wilbur Larch, and reluctant abortion provider, Homer Wells, seemed like the right book to be talking about at this moment in time. We discuss our feminist AF grandmas and their pro-choice rhetoric and take some detours into "If These Walls Could Talk," "Friday Night Lights" and other abortion-related media. (Poor Becky Sproles would be SOL in Texas today.) And Theresa tells us about the time some kid huffed ether a la Wilbur Larch and then tossed his cookies on her car. Goodnight, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England.

Welcome to the premiere episode of A Mighty Blaze podcast! For Season 1, Episode 1, AMB co-founders Caroline Leavitt and Jenna Blum talk with none other than John Irving, author of THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES, and so many other classics of American literature. Hosted by Trisha Blanchet

The 1999 movie “The Cider House Rules” won writer John Irving an Oscar, and elevated him as a pro-abortion apologist. In his acceptance speech, Irving thanked Harvey Weinstein's movie company Miramax for “having the courage to make this movie.” He then thanked the Academy for honoring a movie about abortion, as well as “everyone at Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Rights League.” Last week, twenty years later, in a recent New York Times op-ed, Irving once again took up the role of pro-abortion apologist, and in the process, exposed just how incoherent his particular pro-abortion argument really is. I'm not even talking about the factual problems with the piece, like claiming that “Prior to the 1840s, abortion was widespread,” or that, “Our founding fathers got this right; the choice to have an abortion or a child belonged to the woman.” Sorry, John, our founders put no such right in our founding documents. Rather, Supreme Court justices imagined abortion rights from “penumbras” and “emanations.” They literally used those terms. As Ramesh Ponnuru wrote at National Review, if the founders thought about abortion at all, they certainly didn't think in terms of a “right to choose.” And then ignoring the overwhelming evidence for life from science and philosophy, Irving also argued that our First Amendment rights include being “protected from having someone else's religion practiced on us.” Well then, I look forward to his next novel supporting polygamy, since any prohibition of that would be “having someone's religion practiced on us.” Still, where Irving's piece really goes off the rails is in his self-promoting appeal to his own novel and movie, “The Cider House Rules,” as such a convincing apologetic for abortion. What's stunning is that still, 20 years later, Irving completely misses the moral chaos that his story justifies. The protagonist of “The Cider House Rules” is Homer Wells, who grows up in an orphanage in the years prior to World War II. The orphanage's kind director, Dr. Larch, treats Homer as if he were his son and teaches him everything he knows about medicine, especially obstetrics. By the time Homer leaves the orphanage, he's as well-trained as any doctor, despite never graduating from high school. Dr. Larch is also an abortionist, which Irving naturally depicts as an act of kindness towards the women he meets in dire straits. But Homer refuses to perform abortions because, as Irving himself describes it, “He's an orphan; his mother let him live.” What changes Homer's mind was a young girl who was raped and impregnated by her own father. Homer works with her father in a cider house, where mostly illiterate workers stay during harvest season. Homer sets aside his objections and personal history to perform the abortion. And afterwards, the father asks Homer to read the rules posted on the wall for the cider house. Homer does, and then the father proclaims, “Someone who doesn't live here made those rules. But they don't know what it's like to live here. We have to make up our own rules.” So do you get the argument? Who are you to say someone shouldn't have an abortion if you've never walked in their shoes? We shouldn't force our moral values on others. It's the same argument Irving makes in his op-ed. Of course, that same argument used to justify the abortion in the movie, couldn't that also be used to justify the incest in the movie? Who are we to say it's wrong if we don't live there or walk in their shoes? By the way, the kindly Dr. Larch was also a forger: He created fake educational and professional credentials for Homer and used those credentials to get him appointed as his successor. But what's wrong with that if you've not walked in their shoes? For those keeping score at home, John Irving's apologetic for abortion-on-demand includes consequentialism, moral relativism that justifies abortion and incest, bad history and a mangling of the First Amendment. But hey, other than that…
