In honor of the 50th anniversary of Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece, The Godfather: Part II, Bald Move is rereleasing their coverage. Jim and A.Ron do another deep dive into the world of Coppola's The Godfather, this time looking at Part II, which celebrates it's 40th anniversary tomorrow. A darker, more brooding, more intricate film that it's predecessor, we struggle to answer the question, which is better? Along the way we play a lot of what if's and comparisons. Clemenza or Pentangeli? Vito or Michael? Brando or De Niro? When did Vito decide to be the Don? What is Tom and Michael's relationship at the end? Where did Michael go wrong? DID Michael go wrong? All this and much more is contemplated in this mammoth two hour podcast, for your holiday enjoyment. Hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Donoghue!Transcript:[0:43] Alright, thank you so much Doug Donats. It is great to be here as always inside of the SNL Hall of Fame It's raining outside today, so I'm glad to be inside, but that means that there'sa little mud outside So you're gonna have to be extra careful and wipe those feet for me on the mat that says wipe them So there's that my name is JD and I am thrilled to be with you hereon the SNL Hall of Fame Fame podcast.It's a weekly affair and each episode, we take a deep dive into the career of a former cast member, host, musical guest, or writer, and we add them to the ballot for your consideration.Once the nominees have been announced, we turn to you, the listener, to vote for the most deserving and help determine who will be enshrined for perpetuity inside the hall.That's right. It's just that simple.You listen, you vote, and we celebrate.[1:41] So, get those voting pencils ready because we are in the thick of things.This is episode 10, and by episode 20, or 19 is it?It's 19 or 20, we'll be announcing the new class of Hall of Fame members.So, there's that. This week we are joined by Brad and Gary of the Not Ready for Primetime podcast, and they are here to give Michael O'Donohue a second nomination.He was nominated back in the first season and he's remained on the ballot hovering at around, you know, 20 to 30%. Uh, it's not looking good.It's not looking good for Mr. O'Donoghue. I think he's only got a couple more years left on the ballot before he's dropped if he doesn't make it.And, um, that, that would be a travesty for somebody as seminal as, uh, Michael O'Donoghue, but Brian and Gary are going to give it their best shot today to win you over.But before they do that, we are going to talk to our friend, Matt Ardill, who actually was the one who drafted him in the season four draft.And I think Matt's going to have something to say about, uh, Mr. O'Donoghue. So Matt.Track 3:[2:57] Hey, Jamie. How you doing? Great.Track 2:[2:59] How about you?Track 3:[3:00] Great. I know I've gone to bat a few times for this guy. So yeah, hopefully I helped sway the vote this time around.If not. I will officially give up and move on.So today I looking forward to talking about Michael O'Donoghue.Track 2:[3:17] Well, we're looking forward to hearing what you have to say. So hit it.Track 3:[3:20] Hey, his height is unknown. What? You know, he was born January 5th, 1940, born in New York. He is a New York iconoclast through and through.As a small kid, he was bullied, but quickly found out that while he may not be the best at keeping himself from getting beat up.He was able to get vengeance. He stated, I found that I could make a remark that could keep them crying in their pillows for the next three days.So he was content with emotionally traumatizing them in a way that would probably haunt them until the day they died.Track 2:[3:55] Right.Track 3:[3:56] He has 26 screenwriting credits and eight acting credits, including Scrooged and Guild Alive, which started as a Broadway show, which he and other SNL writers co-wrote withGilda Radner.Famously quoted as saying, making people laugh is the lowest form of comedy.His first published story was an erotic satire called The Adventures of Phoebe Zeitgeist and it is about as disturbing as you would expect it to be.Track 2:[4:28] Jesus.Track 3:[4:31] He followed this as one of the founding writers of the National Lampoon Magazine and subsequently the National Lampoon Radio Hour after writing a successful comedy albumRadio Dinner with Tony Hendra.As well as writing comedy, he has a successful career as a country songwriter.Track 2:[4:51] What?Track 3:[4:53] Penning Dolly Parton's Single Women. Huh. During his time on The Lampoon, he was one of the most well-known and notorious, sorry, retake.During his time at The Lampoon, one of his most well-known and notorious pieces was the Vietnamese baby book, An Unflinching Attack on the War in Vietnam.He was so well, quote unquote, loved by Lampoon readers, one quote unquote fan mailed him a package full of live dynamite.Yeah, very polarizing figure.Track 2:[5:32] Yeah.Track 3:[5:33] Very. When his coworkers were being generous, they'd say he wasn't easy to work with.An absurdist to the core, he released Mr. Mike's Mondo video with many of his SNL collaborators in 1979, which was a loose collection of sketches.His second wife, Cheryl Hardwick, was the musical director of SNL as well as the musical director for Sesame Street and the film Man on the Moon.He passed away in 1994 at the age of 54 from a cerebral hemorrhage.Track 2:[6:12] Gee whiz. Well that's a downer to leave it on, Matt.But we're gonna leave it there. And we're gonna head downstairs to Thomas in conversation with Brad and Gary of the Not Ready for Primetime podcast. Take it away, fellas!Track 4:[6:49] Yes, Matt and Jamie, thank you so much, as always.And this is our second episode where we actually revisit and re-litigate somebody's candidacy.I love this idea, love the concept, and caught a very interesting nominee tonight.It is, of course, Michael O'Donohue, an early season writer.And my guests are perfect for this. They've been covering the early seasons of SNL on their wonderful podcast, the Not Ready for Primetime podcast.So Brad Robinson and Gary Seith, welcome to the SNL Hall of Fame. Thank you very much.So you're now covering season two of SNL. So Brad, just kind of tell the listeners, like how's the podcast going so far? You're delving into the SNL podcasting sphere.[7:42] How's that going for you guys? It's going good. we jumped in, both feet into the deep end.It's been a lot of fun. We've just finished up season one, covering all of season one last month. Season two just began a couple weeks ago.We've got you on our show again, a return guest, season one.And you're back, I believe it'll be tomorrow's episode of episode three from season two.But it's been great. It's been great seeing and revisiting this awesome era of Saturday Night Live and watching it all come together really from the ground up it's been so much fun.Yeah, and it's a totally different experience kind of going back and watching every episode.[8:20] In a row in order and and talking about every sketch every bit every performer It's been a lot of fun and it's been very educational.I think for for me definitely going back. Oh me too Oh, yeah I know I try to watch the episodes along with you guys so I have more of a perspective before I listen to Your episodes and it'sactually like revisiting season one and now into season two I think we see things in a different light, like specifically the Louise Lasser episode.I think Brad brought up some really good points about that that made me kind of rethink what I thought about that episode.So yeah, well done, fellas. Thanks. That's one I haven't seen probably in 10 years because, and I had watched it so long ago and kind of wrote it off as a train wreck, basically.And it was great to watch it again in the context of where it was in season one, what was happening before it would come again and just knowing more of the backstage stories and historyof what's going on.And it's a really fascinating, interesting episode that I don't think really gets the due that it should. It was fun to go through it again.So that again is the Not Ready for Primetime podcast.You guys are a welcome addition to this SNL podcasting community that we have.I know you've had our friend John Schneider as the Buck Henry point person.John's been on our podcast a few times. He did the Buck Henry episode.[9:47] So he's a great guy and just you guys are such a great addition to this little SNL potosphere that we've created over here.We're all buddies. Yeah, thank you. It's been a blast getting to know everybody and being welcomed by everybody.So yes, thank you so much. A lot of fun. Yeah, we'll keep it up.And today's an interesting one. So we're talking about a controversial figure in SNL history, one Michael O'Donohue.[10:12] So just a brief kind of background with O'Donoghue.So he helped found National Lampoon Magazine. He worked with some of the original SNL cast on the National Lampoon Radio Hour.So he had a relationship with the cast before SNL.He was head writer at SNL seasons one through three.He was co-head writer in season one, technically, along with Lorne, and then he took over the reins himself in two and three.Back for season 7 and 11 so Michael O'Donohue very much intertwined with the history of SNL and we're here today to re-litigate his case as an SNL Hall of Famer.He's been on the ballot since season 1 you guys.So this is his fourth try and before we get into it let me give you the voting numbers for O'Donohue.They're kind of eye-opening. So season 1 he got 26% of the Boat.[11:10] Season two he climbed a little bit 27% of the vote in season two season 3 11% of the vote for Michael O'Donohue so this is definitely like a last gasp for you hanging on for dearlife must be you're calling us in yeah he's I don't know Gary's gonna Gary's laughing you're gonna be possibly part of this this This might be a, I don't know, a bit of a funeral for hiscandidacy for the SNL Hall of Fame.The man did one a Viking funeral, so let's see what happens.Yeah, we're giving it to him right here.[11:48] So I'm going to start with you, Gary. I just want to open it up and curious because you're probably out of the two, you're probably not a huge O'Donohue fan generally.[12:01] So why do you think O'Donoghue isn't in the Hall of Fame at this point?You know, he is a really tough person, a really tough candidate for the Hall, in my opinion, Thomas, because I think he really swings for the fences every time he's writing something.And sometimes he knocks it out of the park, like with the Star Trek sketch, and other times he totally misses it.And he, especially when he's trying to be this dark, irreverent, dangerous comedian, sometimes those sketches do not land at all.He had one sketch in season one, it's a prank phone call to Lorraine, plays a woman working at an airline, and he has this totally masochistic prank phone call he does to her.Then I'd like to throw garbage at your face.Then I'd like to rent a truck, fill it full of.[13:14] Scrap metal, For me, just did not land. And I like dark humor, don't get me wrong, that's not it.It's just sometimes with his dark humor, I feel like he totally misses the mark.And And I know Brad doesn't totally agree with me. And you think that might just be really super off-putting to voters in a lot of ways.Some of his writing is very off-putting and some of it is so engaging.I think he's so difficult because of this.Because the sketches I feel, the sketches that he puts time and effort into, like the Star Trek sketch, the Godfather sketch, these are really well thought out pieces.And I feel like some of his pieces just feel...[13:56] Rushed and and like he had to write something for the sake of writing and something and so he was trying to push the limit with those and he doesn't always They don't seem towork out.Well in my opinion Brad, you think there's something to that?I think there's two reasons Really why Michael O'Donnell?He's not in yet one He's a writer Which you know historically in the hall There's not that many writers that are in right and if they are in they've also had a very a very predominant role infront of camera, right?Who's in so far? Is it Tina Fey as a writer and is it Seth? And Seth, Seth's in, yeah.And Robert Smigel is actually in too, yeah.Smigel, so he'd be the third. So two of them at least have very prominent on-camera roles that I think help get them voted in, as well as, and this plays into my second point, just muchmore recent.I think a lot of current SNL fans, one, don't know who Michael O'Donohue is, and two, don't really appreciate, which I think we will get into, what he really did in helping with thecreation of this show and actually having this show last more than one season and still exist today.So I think those are the things of why, the reasons why he's not in yet and not scoring higher in the voting than I think he really should be.[15:13] Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head as far as writers go.There seems to be a big kind of blind spot for voters. And a lot of it is writers aren't on camera.Sometimes, especially with the older writers, we don't know, a lot of viewers don't know exactly what sketches that they were behind.[15:32] And for Michael O'Donoghue, what he is known for on camera is not necessarily great or what people like.Like Mr. Mike, a lot of people, Mr. Mike rubs the wrong way.So the one thing he's really known for as far as his face on camera, turns a lot of people off. Oh, Mr. Mike, Mr. Mike, Please tell me a least loved bedtime story.Well, sure thing, you little imp. Just hop up here on my knee, and I'll tell you the story of a little train that died.OK, now, one time there was a little train who had to pull a giant load of scrap metal up the mountain.He had never pulled such a heavy load in his life, and so when he left the valley, his little wheel said, I hope I can.[16:16] But before long, he picked up speed, And now the wheels said, I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can soon.The little train was whizzing right up the mountain. And now the wheels said, I know I can. I know I can. I know I can. I know I can. Heart attack, heart attack, heart attack, heart attack.Oh my God, the pain. Oh my God, the pain. Oh my God, the pain.I left my bills in the roundhouse. I left my bills in the roundhouse. And he died.And I don't think then you're open to a lot of the stuff, that he wasn't on screen for, that is brilliant. You guys obviously have like a great perspective on him and his work because you'recurrently immersed in the early seasons where he was head writer.So Brad, can you talk about Donahue's role in those seasons and maybe what his comedic voice was?[17:08] Well, as you mentioned, he was the head writer for the first three seasons, co-head writer for season one, although probably halfway through that season, Lorne as quote unquotehead writer really kind of pulls back a little bit and it really is O'Donoghue and it really is Michael O'Donoghue's voice you hear and feel for that very important first season of the show.You know, Marilyn Suzanne Miller, when she turned down the job as writer told Lorne Michaels, you have to hire Michael O'Donoghue, find Michael O'Donoghue.And Michael was one of the first writers brought in and not only was he brought in as a writer, he was key in bringing in key cast members.Michael O'Donohue, along with Anne Beetz, were the biggest proponents to get John Belushi on the show. Lorne Michaels didn't want John Belushi.And Michael O'Donohue, from his relationship with him on National Lampoon, fought to get John on the show.So that's a huge part, even before the show even started, of how important he was.And then once the show got up and running, you've talked about it a bit in other episodes with people like Seth and Tina, like when they're the head writer and what they do, not only theirwriting, but the nurturing and support of the other writers and setting the tone of what the show is.When Lorne Michaels started Saturday Night Live almost 50 years ago, they wanted a show that was different and edgy and hip and new and different.And that's what Michael O'Donohue brought to this show. And he led with that mentality.[18:31] And he's the biggest reason I feel like Saturday Night Live was so edgy and so hip and so different was his voice that was not only his, and he did a lot of the writing himself wasvery hands-on, but the other writers who hadn't had experience necessarily writing for TV or Sketch, your Alan Zweibel, your Frank N.Davis, he influenced that entire writing room. I think this is where...It gets tricky, because I think what Brad said is true. He had a huge, huge influence on the beginning of the show, and the first few years, definitely.But I don't know how much...I guess I lose my focus with that in some of the pieces that you see that were clearly...that, were written by someone else, like Alan Zweibel, that you can seeMichael O'Donohue's influence on.And I feel like some of those sketches just kind of veer off, like they had a good premise going into it, and then you can see the O'Donoghue influence and it kind of takes it to anotherplace that feels misplaced with that sketch, you know? Like he's trying to influence too much.[19:38] Yeah, there's a little bit of that. I will also say I think a little bit of grace or whatnot needs to be given to these first few years because the show's brand new.They had nothing to lean on, nothing to compare it to.They're going without a net. And so I think you're gonna have more misses than say you will now or in recent years because there's no template.They were setting up the template in real time. And so I feel like a lot of those misses I think might need to get a little bit of, just, you know, a little bit of...I think you said it, you said grace, right? Grace, yeah. You wanna give it more forgiveness.I mean, one thing I would say before getting into the nitty-gritty of what he wrote and what he had his hands on, a little bit of a, I'll try to do a Cliff Notes history lesson, Thomas, from theshow, I don't know how many people realize, but Saturday Night Live, or Saturday Night as it was called, was not a hit out of the gate.This was not day one, a hugely popular show. The show had to fight for its audience, it had to fight for its identity, it had to fight for what it was, and even through most of season one.[20:46] It was not a hit and there was no guarantee that there was going to be a season two until really near the end of season one in May when they won Emmy awards and that's whatreally finally pushed them over the top and I think there's really four people that are really instrumental in keeping SNL alive responsible for the success of this first season and you knowyou could argue that without them, there would be no second season and there would be no show and you wouldn't have a podcast and we wouldn't have a podcast.And I think there's, it's Lorne Michaels, obviously, Chevy Chase, Dave Wilson, the director who won an Emmy, and then Michael O'Donoghue when the show won for best writing andhe's the head writer.And it was for the episode that he had one of the best sketches of all time with Godfather Therapy.So, you know, he's instrumental in keeping this show alive and making it what it was and giving it the legs to then have a season two and a season three.And I don't think you can discount that. Can I counterpoint?[21:48] Brad, who— Gary, you're against legs. No, I got it first. Uh, my counterpoint to that is Brad in that first season.Two of the more influential shows were Lily Tomlin and Richard Pryor, and Michael O'Donoghue had very little to do with either one of those shows.And so, I just, I don't think that should be lost on you either, in that with those two shows, he clearly did not have a hand in a lot of those episodes.Can one of you, maybe Gary, remind the listeners why he wasn't too much involved in the Richard Pryor episode, specifically.I mean, he alienated, it seemed like, Richard Pryor and the writers that came in with him, yeah?Yeah, so, honestly, Brad should tell the story because he knows the story better than I do and he tells it very well. So, I will defer to Brad with this story.[22:46] Well, no, the short version is that, you know, Richard Pryor wasn't doing a lot of writing, he wasn't at the offices a lot during the week, so writers would go to his hotel room andpitch pitch him ideas.And I forget half the story now, but basically Michael O'Donohue went to Richard Pryor's hotel to pitch a story or pitch jokes, and he was pitching jokes about George Wallace and a racistcomment George Wallace would have said about identifying a black man in the dark.And obviously, not surprisingly, Richard Pryor did not find it funny and basically like almost threw a bottle of wine or something over Michael O'Donnell's head, like scared him off andMichael O'Donnell, he was not seen for the rest of the week.You know, he's trying to be edgy, trying to be funny. He went against somebody who really is edgy and funny and a badass and got caught.But I mean, that's part of what I don't, I mean, yes, he wasn't in those two episodes that much, but you can't knock him for the other 22 episodes he was involved in.[23:51] No, I'm not trying to knock it. I'm just saying that he was noticeably absent at certain times.And it wasn't only those two episodes. There were other hosts and other segments that he specifically said he would not write for.Like, he infamously hated The Muppets and would not write for The Muppets.You find that as a con against him? I mean, you hate The Muppets.No, you hate The Muppets. Don't deflect.But I do, because if you want the show to to be successful, and stay with me here, if you want the show to be successful, the show had to have the Muppets.That was just a condition of the show.And so if you want the show to be successful, you should work to make the show, entire show successful if you're the head writer. Now he goes on later years to say that he wants to burnthe place down from the inside, and we can talk about that later.But I think if you are a head writer of a show or co-head writer, whatever, you would want everything to work.And he sabotages it in many different ways, or tries to, and sabotages certain guests and musical acts and whatever from the inside.And those are the things that I'm like, what are you doing? Why, why? He said he wouldn't write for Felt. Him sabotaging Abba is great. It's hilarious.He wouldn't write for Felt, yes. He puts Abba on the Titanic.Abba on the Titanic is a great bit. It's hilarious. It's so bizarre and out there. It's great.[25:19] When they were lip syncing, they were lip syncing on the show.They should have been made fun of. But he didn't make fun of them for lip syncing anyway.And just the only thing I would counter for the Tomlin and Pryor examples is, he's not the boss.It is Loren's show, remember. Loren brought Lily Tomlin and basically said, you know, you can do all your characters.He brought Richard Pryor in and said, you can bring your writers, you can bring your cast members.So I think as a writer, even though he's the head writer, in those two examples that you bring up, his hands are still a little bit tied by what Lauren wants them to do.I mean, I think that's a good point. And I will say this, like maybe aside from Richard Pryor and maybe Jim Henson, everybody else involved with the show, it seemed like they likedMichael.Like the cast members specifically, I don't know, I can't speak for all of the writers, but it seemed like the cast still liked him.They worked, they did, they worked, most of them worked on his show that he had after he left SNL.So in an odd way, it seemed like all of them, most of the people associated with the show liked and respected Michael, even though he had this kind of edgy, edgelord, I like to call it,persona about him.He was still respected, it seemed like, in that building in an odd way.[26:32] I think everything to what Thomas just said, they needed a leader, the writers and the cast.And this was that guy. He was that voice.He was that leader for them, along with Lorne and Chevy.A lot of cast members and writers have said that, especially that first year, the three of them, Lorne, Chevy, and Michael O'Donohue were like the brain trust that were really deciding whatthat show was about and what was going to be on the air every week.I'd like to get into some sketches now, and I think I'd like to start with the positives first and then we'll kind of go on. So Gary, what's a good Michael O'Donohue sketch that really sticksout to you?You know, I think one of the surprising sketches to me that we watched in season one is the Norman Bates School of Motel Management that he wrote for Anthony Perkins. Are you motelmaterial?Let's find out with a simple quiz.Question one. A guest loses the key to her room.Would you A, give her a duplicate key, B, let her in with your past key, C, hack her to death?[27:46] Question two. Which of the following is the most important in running a successful motel?A cordial atmosphere, be courteous service, see hacker to death.[28:01] This is a sketch that I think was so well written from beginning to end and the set direction and the performance by Anthony Perkins, everything brought it all together.But the writing in this piece is so smart, and so funny, and just, it's that kind of off-kilter humor that he's good at, and when he hits it, he does really well.So that was one for me that I thought.[28:31] Really stood out as far as one that I that is not as well-known as some of the others that's an example to me of like a when he's focused when his Oddball when his more harsh darkstuff is actually Pointed in the correct direction.I think you get something like that Norman Bates School of Management sketch and That's where some somebody with his kind of unique perspective and a somewhat dark perspectivethat's when it could really play out in a positive way.And that's something that I definitely highlighted as well.Brad, what do you think about that one? You can give us another good Michael O'Donoghue if you'd like to.Yeah, there are many. The Norman Bates is great. I would say The Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise, which came at the end of season one.We're on a five-year mission to explore space. We've only been out here for three years.Sorry, it's the Nielsen's. If it was up to me, my kids like it.Wait, what are those Nielsen's the alien keeps talking about, Mr. Spock?If I remember my history correctly, Captain, Nielsen's were a primitive system of estimating television viewers once used in the mid-20th century.[29:40] These men were meant to fly, eat, have better ratings. Is that what you're saying, Mr. Goodbody? I've had enough of this. George, Michelle, let's go. I'm going to tie one on.I'm with you, Kelly. I think I'll just go home. It's an example of, I think, O'Donohue, especially in those early years, he did one of two things.He kind of did these really weird, dark solo pieces, often involving himself, where he would do really long and drawn out and intricate sketches like this one, where it's the famous JohnBelushi impersonating Captain Kirk, and Elliot Gould is the host, and he plays an NBC executive who comes on board the show, the ship and the show, and basically informs everybodythe show's canceled.And John never breaks character, he's Captain Kirk throughout it all.And it's just a brilliant.You know, spoof of the show and a comment on television and just, and it's a really great example of the end of season one where they're really finding their voice and starting to stretchthemselves where it was a really great set and they had great costumes and props and it was a long piece, like six, seven minutes, but nothing was wasted and nothing was missing andeverything clicked and it just it was a perfect example of what a great spoof send-up sketch can be.And it was all, you know, O'Donoghue's writing.[31:01] It's a really good example of a piece that he had taken his time to write.And yeah, it's he took a while to write that. Yeah, it was a couple of months.Yeah, weeks. Yeah, yeah, definitely. I was so well crafted too. And it wasn't dark.Like, you know, we that that's the word that that tends to come up when we talk about O'Donohue is dark, demented, twisted, whatever.But this one was more of a straight, witty, building a world and everything like that.And there wasn't really like much dark, weird humor.It was more straight than you usually associate O'Donohue with and that showed me like the talent.Like he could, he's actually, he could do that when he wanted.He had a witty mind and he could do something like that without having to resort to just shock value. Because there was no shock value in that Star Trek sketch.It was all just witty, great lines, great performances, obviously, too, but the material was there for those performances to shine.That's what really struck me about that one, is there wasn't like a dark twist there.[32:06] Absolutely, yeah, it was different than what you would think a typical, right, quote-unquote typical Michael O'Donohue sketch would be. It's great.I think another one along those lines too that I highlighted that was referenced already in this podcast was the Godfather Therapy sketch.Now, when we left off at last week's session, Vito was telling us about his feelings toward the Tataglia family.Vito? Well, the Tataglia family is causing me great personal grief.Vito? Well, attacking a family is causing me great personal grief.Also, also, I'm looking... Things are not going so well at my other work company.Barry? Oh my god, Vito, I think you're blocking.[32:57] One of the better sketches probably of those early years, certainly in season one, and great performances from Belushi doing his his Vito Corleone from Lorraine was really great inthat sketch.I think that was Elliot Gould playing the therapist there and that one I mean there were a lot of obvious great references to the movie but that was another one that was just like you couldcould see the craft involved in O'Donohue's writing there.Yeah, I mean, that one's fantastic. It's on the episode, they win the Emmy for, you know, right before they went on the Christmas hiatus, they had kind of a little bit of a lackluster episode.[33:39] Lorne wasn't very happy. And when they were on break over that season one holiday hiatus, Lorne, Chevy, and Michael O'Donoghue stayed in New York and basically wrote forthree weeks.And all they did was write the Elliot Gould episode and the Buck Buck Henry episode that came after that. So yeah, this is a great sketch on a fantastic episode. And I mean, you know,yes, Belushi had the Brando impression. That was him.And Lorraine had Sherry, which is a character she had brought from Groundlings.But O'Donoghue wrote that sketch and intertwined it and put it all together.And like, you know, it's why it's not just like an impression piece.It's a fully formed great sketch. And that's O'Donoghue.Yeah, and I think that's a great point, Brad, is that he took these two characters and brought them together.And he really seemed to know how to write for Lorraine, and she knew how to take his pieces and bring life to them as well.And the way he did it with the Sherry character and the Vito Corleone, it's very, very smart.And with John, to that point, I mean, one of the things John Belushi's so well-known for is those weatherman rants on Weekend Update. That's O'Donoghue.O'Donoghue wrote all those Weekend Update rants that he did, the, you know, Ireland must be heaven because my mother's from there.[34:56] And the seasons come in like a line. Those are all Michael O'Donohue bits that he wrote because he knew John's voice and knew how to write that slow burn.So John performs it all, but those are O'Donohue pieces.On this podcast, we've talked a lot about impressions, just kind of SNL fans in general. We talk about impressions, what makes a good impression.And certainly, Belushi.Especially in this sketch does a good brando in this case.It's more of like a veto corleone impression But there's some brando and they're obviously blue She's a good impressionist but being able to mimic and sound like the person only takesyou so far in an impression You need the angle you need the writing there to really make it shine And so that's where you need somebody like o'donoghue to bring what's already a goodimpression to life, you know And I think you know, it's that him working with somebody and and to your point understanding their strengths.And I think he showcased that in something like Godfather therapy for sure, and in the Belushi update rants.That's one of the things I love from those early years, honestly, the Belushi update rants. And Belushi's a wild guy in and of itself, and he can go from zero to 100 in half a second.[36:10] But O'Donoghue saw that voice and he kind of made it shine, I think.I agree with that, I mean, I think he had the people that he knew how to write for, and he did a good job with it.And he had, like Brad said earlier, I think he had a relationship with John that went back a few years, so he knew what he was capable of and was able to write for him because of that.When you were talking about impressions, Thomas, I thought you were going to bring up. Oh, geez.Michael O'Donohue, master impressionist character. Okay. Yeah.Came out on the so I was going to. Yeah. So so this was the more positive portion of the of relitigating Michael O'Donohue and everything. That's fine.But no, totally. I was definitely going to bring that up at some point.I did want to get to maybe if we could do like one each of something that we liked and then, then, then we'll get into a lot of that nitty gritty cause it does need to be taught about.So like maybe something from one of the early seasons that you and Gary enjoyed from O'Donoghue as well.I really liked the quarry cereal commercial. Like I remember watching that years ago.[37:22] I just watched it recently in preparation for tonight and I just forgot how funny How funny I think it is.It's so good. They're just like crunching so loudly they can't talk over one another. I really think that's an excellent piece. Out here on a farm, breakfast is our most important meal.That's why we start each day the natural way with a big Brimmin' Bowl of Quarry.[37:50] Quarry contains no preservatives, no additives, no artificial flavoring.And it's made without the use of pesticides or inorganic fertilizer.Because pori isn't grown, it's mined.Here's a ready-made cereal that's pure 100% rocks and pebbles with a hearty, old-fashioned flavor the whole family will enjoy.[38:20] What's the song? what's the song do you either of you know what the song is that that's in commercial parody because it's so perfect.It sets the stage so well. I wanna say it's Gordon Lightfoot, but it's not.But it just, even that, like picking that proper song to set the tone for Quarry's serial ad is just great.Yeah, O'Donoghue writes such good clinical, it's like the clinical nature of his writing, which I think O'Donoghue at his heart is a nerd.He is, he's a big nerd and geek. And I could tell by with some of just his little things, some of his writing, and especially in this, it's very like what he has Jane say as the spokesperson isjust very like straight-laced and clinical and for such a good parody of those healthy cereal commercials and all of that.That's one thing, like when I was watching, when I watched these on VH1 as a kid or Comedy Central, this is one of the ones that stood out to me.This and like the Swill water one, there's certain commercial parodies that really stood out to me and I was actually kind of surprised that when I found out Michael O'Donoghue wasbehind this Quarry serial one.[39:34] Yeah, there's a lot of great sketches that you wouldn't think are O'Donoghue sketches and you find out they are. That's a perfect example.Now what's another one for you, Brad?I mean, I'll wait to get into Mr. Mike when you start getting into the negatives, but another really great sketch.And granted, this is season one and I will admit he is very, Michael O'Donoghue's presence is very season one heavy.Even though he was the head writer through two and three, I will admit his influence does start to wane a bit into season two and three, as even Lorne got a little tired of O'Donoghue andMr.Mike and leaned a little bit more on Franken and Davis in seasons two and three.But one of the things you have to remember, when the show first started and it didn't know what it was doing, it was a lot of one minute sketches, two minute sketches, to people.To one camera kind of thing. And early on somewhere, I forget, was episode five or six, he wrote a sketch called Citizen Kane 2, which one is a great satire on Hollywood and movies andsequels.And they did this with, you know, everyone knows Landshark. Landshark is actually part of a sketch called Jaws 2, where they were making fun of making a sequel to Jaws before theyever did, and then ever made five more.Anyway, Buck Henry's episode, Citizen Kane 2, was the The first time they really used multiple sets, they used almost the whole cast, they had wigs, they had mustaches.[40:54] It was just, they really upped the game from more than just two people with a one or two minute joke.It was a longer sketch, again, just production design, everything.And he really opened the door for them to realize how to do that and continue doing that.And again, I think he's gonna need a lot of credit for that.Well, Jen and I, here it is. My own newspaper, the New York Inquirer.[41:17] I'm going to turn this newspaper into something that this town will want to read. Why, just look at this dribble. Noted mitten manufacturer retires.Ah, it's been a slow day for news, Mr. Kane. Slow day for news, Bernstein. I'll show you a slow day for news.[41:38] Take a headline, Bernstein. Crazed sniper guns down six.Lay off the innocent women and children, Angle, and offer $10,000 for the madman's capture. Right away, Mr. Kane!Yeah, that's a fantastic sketch that I think, upon watching that the first time or two, I had no idea that that was a Michael O'Donohue piece.That's another good example of one that just... You'd never guess, yeah.Yeah, that was a really good balance of dark, clever, and palatable all at the same time.It was just so clever, and yeah, if you're just familiar with the movie and the tropes and everything like that, I think O'Donoghue was just so good about conveying that exact tone and thatexact sort of parody and satire that he was going for, that's such a wonderful one.There was one in a Robert Kline-hosted episode that was just bonkers.It was the attack of the atomic lobsters. John Belushi has been seized by an immense claw that's waving about. Oh, it's horrible! It's horrible!He had his whole life ahead of him!At least two or three more years, anyway.[42:50] I'll save yourself! No, I've got to stay here, Gilda. I'm staying until the end.This appears to be the destruction of civilization as we know it.And I want to leave some records for the survivors, if indeed there are any survivors.I'm going to leave a warning to those yet unborn not to make the same mistakes we did. It's like one of the more bonkers crazy things that's been on SNL.I think it's something that was so off the wall.[43:17] It actually worked because I know Brad and I share this as far as our SNL fandom goes.We'd love when SNL breaks the fourth wall, when they break format a little bit, when they try new things and this attack of atomic lobsters was just nuts.Like it involved everybody.The audience was involved in the sketch and bull in both sketches and the good nights. It was just nuts.You guys, I don't know if you guys have covered this one yet.I forget where is it in It's season two or three or something.It's maybe three. It's season three when he comes back. Yeah, we haven't got there yet. I mean, what are your thoughts? Are you excited to get to this one? I mean, this is a classic to me.Yeah, well, it's one of those rare instances, not as rare in the first few seasons, but where they kind of have a running gag, a running theme throughout the whole episode.And this one, like you said, it's the biggest one they've done.They had tried for, at least I think since season two, to try to get this off the air.Him and Tom Davis had worked on this for ages, and they kept trying and kept pushing it, and either the director would say no or the art department would say no or the lore would sayno. They kept trying and trying to get this epic, you know, episode-long runner on.And then when they finally did it, it just, it so paid off.It's so funny. It's so out there. I love how absurd this is.And I'm excited to like watch it in the context of the entire episode and as part of the season too.[44:37] Because it really is such a well, again, well thought out, long, big piece. Yeah, it was fantastic.And so all these were examples of things that O'Donohue did, some of which are a surprise to many of us SNL fans that we didn't even know he was behind.These are all great examples of the positive stuff that he contributed to comedy and to the show.But there's a reason why we're here re-litigating his Hall of Fame candidacy, why he's not already in the SNL Hall of Fame, why he's probably not gonna be in, quite frankly, based on thevoting numbers.So Gary, I'm gonna come in hot here with, I'm gonna ask you your thoughts here on Michael O'Donohue, master impressionist. Yeah.[45:20] We're treated to Michael O'Donohue, master impressionist a few times.Both Buck Henry episodes in the first season, actually. He comes on and his first impression is of Michael Douglas.I wondered what if someone took a very large steel needle, say 15, 18 inches long, large steel needles with real sharp coins and plunge them into Mike's eyes.What would his reaction be? Huh? I think it might go something like this.[46:00] And then later in the season, we get his impression of Tony Orlando and Dawn with two women as well with him.Again, what it would be like with needles stuck in their eyes, and it's just him screaming and flailing on the floor.[46:16] This is one that I'm like, on paper, I get it, I understand it, but then I have to watch it and listen to it, and I'm like, okay, this is not, this is a little too much over the top, and thesecond time he does it, like, he does the impression, they go to commercial, like, Buck Henry comes back for good nights, and he's still flailing on the ground, screaming.I just it no one seemed to think it was funny that time in the audience or really Buck Henry when he came back it's an example of something to me that really didn't hit and was done justto be edgy and I know O'Donohue says apparently that he was inspired By a real life like he dealt with migraines and stuff So apparently that's what inspired this is how it felt to havemigraines and everything But I mean, we don't know that we don't know the reason it certainly wasn't conveyed here there certainly didn't seem to be a coherent reason for this other thanto just kind of be edgy and it's almost sort of like the O'Donohue that I don't like is hey look at me look what I'm doing I'm an edge Lord and I'm doing this just to get a reaction like that'sthe O'Donohue I don't like I think this is a good example yeah I'll give you that I will say I'll argue against that that you have to take swings where you don't know if you're gonna hit ornot And so, I don't love these Impressionist bits myself, he does them twice here, he comes again in the second season and does it with the Morven Tapernacle Choir. This then leads toMr.[47:45] Mike's Least Loved Bedtime Stories, which runs for four, I think, four sketches, which again, some people really love, some people hate. But, you know...[47:54] The overarc of it it is funny it does lead to a few a few good bits in season three uh there's a sketch that they do mr mike's rickety rat club where he kind of he introduces a it's asatire in the mickey mouse club which i think is really funny and it's a great sketch with buck is in it and buck has a ball the whole cast is in it it's just so dark and depressing but buck isjust having a blast.Okay, Ratketeer roll call. Count off now. Miller. Beth.[48:30] Stanky. Sleezbar. Widmer. Scumball. Annette. And Bucky. Hi-ya, Ratketeers! Hi-ya, Bucky! Hi-ya, Ratketeers! Hi-ya, Bucky! Hi-ya, Ratketeers! Hi-ya, Bucky! Hi-ya, Ratketeers!Hi-ya, Bucky! Hi-ya, Ratketeers! Hi-ya, Mikey!It takes, like, the Mr. Mike vibe and his idea, but even if it wasn't introduced by Mr. Mike, and even if that sketch was just introed by itself on its own, it'd be really, really funny.And my favorite Mr. Mike thing he does at all, and it's in season three, is the Ray Charles episode, where at the end of the episode, right before the good night, it's Ray Charles at thepiano, the cast is all out there singing, Michael O'Donoghue comes out and he interrupts everything and they say oh hi Mr.Mike and he offers up that they have a painting that a Monet painting that they're donating for Blind Institute and all the you know raising money for charity is gonna go to help the blindand he as he reveals the painting by taking down the curtain all that's in the frame is Please don't tell him.[49:30] And he goes on to describe this Monet painting that is not there to Ray Charles and keeps going on and on and then, you know, he finishes and Ray says, Thank you so much, Mike.I'm so happy of all the awards I've ever won. This is this is probably the best and it means so much. And Michael, Michael, he says, Okay, I'll see at the party.And he walks off. And then Ray Charles looks towards Cameron.He goes, What Mr. Mike doesn't know is that the after party, there's going to be 10 or 12 of the biggest black dudes he's ever seen, and are gonna whip him upside the head. And I feel likeit's so smart because the joke is all on him.They take this Mr. Mike character and just turn it and they make him the butt of the joke. And I think it's one of the, it is my favorite Mr.Mike sketch bit of the three years. I think it's just so smart.And something like that doesn't feel too mean-spirited because you know that Ray Charles is in on the joke.[50:23] Like, you know, it's obvious that he's in on the joke and then it gets turned back around.And so that's I think what we mean when we've said in this episode, like if it's harnessed correctly, then it's like, it could be really good.And I guess that speaks to, I guess if you do take swings, you're gonna miss a lot of the time and it's just gonna fall flat and come off as very mean.And that's one of the main critiques about O'Donohue.And that's something that when we did round tables, especially after seasons like one and two and O'Donohue was brought up, one of the main critiques from some of our panelists wasthat he's just mean without a comedic purpose.And sometimes I can see that, but was it just him being inherently mean, or was it just him feeling that he needed to take swings and being okay with sometimes it wouldn't land?I think that's a really good question that.[51:16] Sometimes I feel like he felt that he had to be mean and or dangerous just to feel heard or seen and it's kind of like, look at me, look how crazy I can be and then you have the storythat Brad told about, you know, in the hotel room with Richard Pryor when he, you know, threatens to hit him upside the head with a wine bottle or whatever and Michael O'Donohuecowers and he's like, all right, never mind.It just feels like sometimes he's trying to be mean or dangerous for the sake of it and to seem like tougher than he might actually be. But I don't know, because I never met him.I think it's just, you have to kind of understand the time a little bit.Just, you know, what people's mentality of what comedy was back then, or what people would do for like, Again, in the whole lampoon idea, not everything was done for a laugh.I mean, O'Donoghue will admit that. Not everything that he wrote and put out there was to make people laugh.He actually, I think, was quoted once saying something like, laughter's the least, I forget, I'm gonna mess it up so I can try.But basically, yeah, it wasn't like he was trying for laughs and missing.He was trying to offend, he was trying to be edgy, he was trying to make you feel uncomfortable, and I think he succeeded in a lot of that.And I think, yes, was he a little bit maybe, now you can look back and say, oh, he was too mean or just doomed to be mean?[52:45] Yeah, sure. But if that wasn't there, would you get the more quote unquote acceptable meanness, level of meanness from the show, where they were jabbing at, whether it's GeraldFord or Hollywood or bathtubs of the stars or Claudine Lange, Stuff you thought was funny.[53:03] Funny enough, would you have had that without him?Or is it, or I guess vice versa, is it worth getting that to get some of the things that are a little bit too mean? Because you can't, like, where do you draw the line? Like, how do you knowwhere the line is of what's funny enough and where do you stop?Especially in the moment, it's easy 40 years after the fact to say, this is where the line is that's not funny. How do you know at the time?Ooh, I mean, if you read Dennis Perrin's biography on Mr. Mike or the backstage history of Saturday Night Live, there's a lot of O'Donohue stuff but that did not get on the air.Like, don't think like everything he wrote was on. Like, he definitely pushed boundaries where stuff did not get on.Sure. But I don't know that you can give him all the credit either of like taking the show to the edge, that's all. I'm not saying giving him the all, but I'm saying if he's not there, you removea vital piece.And I legitimately don't know if that show is still around if he's not there for those first three years.Yeah, I think the show built so much of their early reputation on trying to be counterculture and edgy and things like the Muppets or the Polaroid commercials would say otherwise, but itwas as counterculture as you could be while still being on network television and trying to make money and stay on the air and everything like that.So they were always straddling that line.[54:27] And if that's what they were going for, I guess at the time, unless they got, you know, Doug Kenny to go come along with Michael O'Donoghue, I mean, O'Donoghue was was theperson if they want if that's what they were going for to push the boundaries and everything like that. And I want to know what you guys think about this.Something always, you know, over the years, I've seen Michael O'Donoghue sketches, I've you've read about him, and...[54:56] There's something about him that I never took seriously in his mean-spirited nature, and he always struck me as just a big nerd who was trying so hard to be edgy, but in reality, hehad insecurities.In reality, he was pretty much a geek, but he tried so hard to play up this edgelord persona, and I always just looked at him as a nerd that was just playing a character almost and and i'venever obviously never met the guy but That's just always how I viewed him because I know people like that I know people whose true nature is like a lot of insecurity They feel put uponby society or whatever And they lash out or they express themselves As an in an edgelord sort of way and that's how I always looked at him and I just never took his meanness quoteunquote as seriously as a lot of others, especially evidently, as our voters have taken it.I don't necessarily disagree with what you said, but none of the reasons why I think Michael O'Donoghue should be in the Hall of Fame have to do with his meanness.It has to do with, you know, like, you know, how he guided the show.[56:09] All the sketches of his that I think are the best are not mean sketches.They're ones that people look at and they're like, oh my God, that's him?And I just, you know, and it's that overarching, like we've talked with other head writers on the show that have been nominated, either have gotten in or not, even Adam McKay recently,they set the tone for what the show is and so much of what this show was when it started.And again, remember, it set the foundation for the next 49 years, I think does fall a lot on his shoulders.[56:37] I think to that point, Brad, one of the biggest things, one of the biggest obstacles probably of Michael O'Donohue being in the hall is Michael O'Donohue on camera. I agree.You don't take out the Mr. Mike, if you take out the impressionist stuff, and you just hang it on the writing, and that's, and if people know, that's the other thing, is people knowing whichsketches he's responsible for. Right.Then I think your voting totals would be much higher, honestly.Yeah, like I don't think the average person would know that he wrote the Star Trek sketch or the Godfather therapy sketch. Like two of the most well-known sketches in those early years,no one would have ever guessed he wrote those.Yeah, I think just ultimately these writers from that era and probably up until the mid-90s or early 90s have an uphill climb as far as the SNL Hall of Fame.Hall of Fame, like Jack Handy to me is an SNL Hall of Famer, but you know, I just think people he gets he gets lost in the shuffle for some reason.Maybe we have some younger folks voting and it's just an uphill battle.Jim Downey's not in the SNL Hall of Fame and there I don't think there's been anybody in.Yeah, yeah, I don't think there's anybody in the show's history who's had more of an impact on the political side, which is like obviously huge for SNL than Jim downy so I think ridersfrom around that time are just at such a disadvantage.[58:05] And I worry to bring this up but I mean there is something to be said that you know Lauren leaves the show and Gene comes on and tries to take over in year six, gets fired, DickEbersole comes in at the end of season six.And he asked Lorne Michaels, what do I do? And Michaels tells him to hire Michael O'Donohue.[58:28] Now, granted, I'm hesitant to bring it up because it flamed horribly and it did not work. You know, there was one episode that finished that season, then I think he did, it was likeseven or eight episodes of the next season before he was fired.But, you know, they were trying to find tha

Intervista al Prof. Dott. Giuseppe MiceliA cura di Angelo Marzo

Robert De Niro has entered the chat! Our boy Bobby gets a chance to shine, playing an actor playing a character (essentially). We head to Sicily...Lake Tahoe...and Ellis Island...as we dig our mitts into the iconic Godfather Part II. The fellas break down why Al Pacino is so perfect as Michael, before rummaging through the Havana stuff, that wild sex show, Hyman Roth making sure everybody sees the cake, and the Danny Aiello line in the Rosato Brothers scene that's grown in infamy over the years. PLUS: Luke limps through a questionable 5 Questions, and Corrye goes on multiple rants including one on the discourse surrounding Rotten Tomatoes scores.

The Chumps tread on sacred ground as they dissect arguably the greatest movie of all time. You knew the Pacino and Brando impressions were coming early and often. But how about Fredo and Frank Pentangeli impersonations? Did you know when Luke & Corrye saw The Godfather for the first time?Or the aha moment for Corrye concerning Sonny's death? Or how about Luke's beef with Mama Corleone? PLUS: Plenty of sequel updates, from Beetlejuice to Conan. AND: In our weekly 5 Questions segment, we ponder a different kind of Magic vs. Bird "what if."

Franscesca Rigotti"Clemenza"Il Mulino Editorehttps://mulino.itVirtù giuridica, morale e politica: il coraggio di praticarla.Chi esercita o dovrebbe esercitare la clemenza: il giudice misericordioso, il politico mite, il padre indulgente, l'insegnante comprensivo? Né pietà né perdono, la clemenza è virtù «gerarchica» per eccellenza, poiché descrive la disposizione benevola del superiore verso l'inferiore, talora richiesta alla giustizia, talora dalla giustizia concessa, quando con la grazia risparmia al condannato la vita o anni di pena. Attraverso un restauro storico-concettuale, tra metafore e immagini antiche, moderne e contemporanee, riscopriamo una parola vitale e multiuso, che non si inscrive nel solo ambito del diritto, ma ha a che fare con quello dell'etica e della politica.Francesca Rigotti ha insegnato nell'Università di Göttingen e nell'Università della Svizzera italiana.

Welcome to the (really) long-awaited seventh season of Quaid In Full -- and to the chaotic, unrealistic, and utterly Nickelodeon Yours, Mine & Ours. Critics in week-before-Thanksgiving mode weren't terribly charitable to this 2005 remake of the Ball/Fonda original, but despite the first film's cultural anxieties not really translating to the 21st century; beleaguered stunt pets; Chekhov's sailboat; an utter lack of clean-up or food-logistics credibility; as many family-film tropes as bad child actors; and the horror of a child going to town on a pile of gummi worms like he's Clemenza in a Godfather restaurant scene, for what it is, it's fine. But is Dennis Quaid fine for what he's asked to do? Climb into a rowboat full of stuffies and read the depositions in the matter of Aggrieved Hamster v. Sherwin-Williams: it's an all-new Quaid In Full.

It's time to talk to the Meat Mafia! I have two very interesting guests today—Harrison Gray (Clemenza) and Brett Sollozo, the hosts of the Meat Mafia podcast.​​ These Twitter sensations have been doing a fantastic job enthusiastically spreading the word (especially to their younger demographic) about cleaning up your diet, focusing on nutrient density, and second guessing the industrialized food system and the misinformation we've been presented about it through their podcast. You'll hear Brett and Clemenza talk about the events that led to their health awakening, how the health problems Brett faced in his youth ended up leaving him hospitalized (plus many expensive treatments), the extreme endurance goals they are now both pursuing, and the food they use to fuel these endeavors. You will hear about the exact foods they eat in their thoughtful and intentional diet, and some may surprise you (hint: a certain type of fruit juice gets on the list!), the core tenants of the Meat Mafia lifestyle, and much more!   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad's Shopping page The Meat Mafia Podcast   QUOTES: “I wasn't giving my genes what they wanted and it kind of caught up to me when I was 21.” –Brett Clemenza    Join Brad for more fun on: Instagram: @bradkearns1 Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns YouTube: @BradKearns TikTok: @bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

por Francesco Attesti Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791) é unanimemente reconhecido como um gênio absoluto no campo musical, talvez "o maior" de todos, aliás, enquanto outros compositores são lembrados por terem se tornado imortais por uma determinada composição (sinfonia, sonata, concerto , ópera, etc.), Mozart é o único que deixou uma obra-prima em qualquer gênero musical decodificado. A abordagem de Mozart à Maçonaria remonta a 1778, quando, aos vinte e dois anos, compôs a Sinfonia nº. 31 em Ré maior K 297 chamado “Parisier Sinfonie” (Sinfonia de Paris). A Sinfonia foi encomendada por Legros para o "Concerto Spirituels" e estreou em 12 de junho de 1778 em um concerto privado na casa do Conde Karl Heinrich Joseph von Sickingen, a primeira apresentação pública, no entanto, ocorreu seis dias depois. Embora Mozart ainda não tivesse sido iniciado na maçonaria, ele se juntará a ela apenas seis anos depois, em 14 de dezembro de 1784, é interessante notar que os instrumentos de sopro típicos das reuniões da loggia são usados na sinfonia; flautas, oboés, clarinetes, fagotes, trompas e trombetas. Precisamente esses sons se tornarão típicos das composições maçônicas do músico de Salzburgo com predominância de instrumentos de sopro e vozes masculinas. Sua música mostrará não apenas uma adesão formal, mas uma profunda convicção espiritual e esotérica; além do incomparável simbolismo da Flauta Mágica, é importante lembrar o Freimaurer kantate em Dó Maior K 623 (Cantata Maçônica) cuja finalização ocorre em terças paralelas como se simbolizasse uma corrente entre irmãos. Toda a música maçônica de Mozart está imbuída de virtuosidades gráficas semelhantes; De fato, a prevalência da tonalidade com três sustenidos (lá maior) ou, melhor, com três bemóis (mi bemol ou dó menor) junto com acordes de terça e sexta não é coincidência. Podemos dizer sem medo de negação que Mozart foi provavelmente o músico mais intimamente ligado à Maçonaria e que mais fortemente traduziu suas intenções, símbolos e ideais na música. O apego de Mozart à Maçonaria foi muito além das razões de conveniência; a possibilidade de estar livre de qualquer dogmatismo e, ao mesmo tempo, a possibilidade de se elevar espiritualmente, provocou um fascínio irresistível no músico de Salzburgo. Deste período maçônico parece ter permanecido uma grande produção referente ao primeiro ano após a entrada na Maçonaria, 1785, com obras como a Cantata K 471, o Adágio para dois clarinetes e três trompas de basset K 411 e a música fúnebre maçônica K 477, enquanto outra grande parte de sua produção se refere ao último ano de sua vida, 1791 com o já mencionado Freimeurerkantate K 623, a Flauta Mágica e, se preferir, correspondendo em sentido amplo aos ideais maçônicos também com a obra Clemenza di Tito. . Finalmente, a cantata para tenor e piano Die ihr des unermeßlichen Weltalls Schöpfer ehrt ("Você que honra o criador do universo infinito") K 619, baseada em um texto de Franz Heinrich Ziegenhagen, representa uma espécie de manifesto do Iluminismo radical e igualitário ; o texto (musificado por Mozart em julho de 1791) é um apelo apaixonado a favor da tolerância religiosa, contra o fanatismo, contra o militarismo e a favor da paz entre os povos. A prática de execução da época geralmente exigia que o compositor também fosse o intérprete ou diretor de sua própria música. Assim, Mozart não apenas conduzia rotineiramente suas próprias sinfonias, mas também frequentemente aparecia no duplo papel de solista e maestro em seus concertos dirigindo diretamente do piano. Deve-se notar, no entanto, que na música de câmara e orquestra do século XVIII, geralmente era um membro do conjunto que tomava o lugar do maestro, às vezes era o primeiro violino que usava o arco como batuta. Para as peças que tinham uma parte de baixo contínuo, era costume dirigir do cravo. Na presença do compositor cuja peça estava a ser executada, era o próprio autor que fazia o concerto e a direcção, geralmente sentado ao cravo --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/malhete-podcast/message

Francesca Rigotti"Festival Filosofia"https://www.festivalfilosofia.it/Festival Filosofia, CarpiDomenica 18 settembre 2022, ore 15:00Lezione Magistrale di Francesca RigottiClemenzaIl potere che si chinaÈ possibile concepire la clemenza, come “inclinazione” e mitigazione della retribuzione della pena nei confronti del reo, quale virtù del potere e di chi lo detiene?Francesca Rigotti è professoressa di Dottrine politiche e Comunicazione politica presso l'Università della Svizzera italiana a Lugano. È stata docente alla Facoltà di Scienze politiche dell'Università di Göttingen come titolare di un “Heisenberg Stipendium” della Deutsche Forschungs gemeinschaft e visiting fellow presso l'Università di Princeton. La sua ricerca è caratterizzata dalla decifrazione e dall'interpretazione delle procedure metaforiche e simboliche sedimentate nel pensiero filosofico, nel ragionamento politico, nella pratica culturale e nell'esperienza ordinaria. Tra le sue opere recenti: Nuova filosofia delle piccole cose (Novara 2013); Onestà (Milano 2014); Venire al mondo (Trento 2015); «Una donna per amico». Dell'amicizia in generale e dell'amicizia delle donne (con A. Longo, Napoli-Salerno 2016); De senectute (Torino 2018); Migranti per caso. Una vita da expat (Milano 2019); Buio (Bologna 2020); L'era del singolo (Torino 2021); Il filo del pensiero. Tessere, scrivere, pensare (Verona 2021)Francesca Rigotti"Il filo del pensiero"Orthotes Edizionihttps://www.orthotes.com/Quel che ci tranquillizza… è infilare un filo, quel famoso filo del racconto di cui è fatto anche il filo della vita», dice Musil. Il filo è il caos fatto ordine, è il groviglio che trova struttura, è la linea che esce dal labirinto. Filare, pensare, scrivere: tutte azioni che sgorgano da questa necessità primordiale di imprimere una forma, una direzione, un senso. Già la Bibbia indicava, accanto al bisogno del cibo, quello di avere una «seconda pelle» come protezione. Filava Eva, tesseva Pelenope, cuciva e lavorava a maglia Maria. Dal filo di Arianna alla tela di Aracne, dalla corda di Ananke alle abilità tessili di Atena, il volume segue il farsi metaforico del filo, del tessuto e dell'intreccio, per approdare al contenuto simbolico del vestire e dello spogliare, che evocano l'interno e l'esterno del corpo, l'ambito morale e quello materiale, sofisticazione e virtù, menzogna e verità. Un percorso, questo, che ci porta direttamente alla metafora della rete internet, odierna «tessitura» che comprime il tempo e dilata lo spazio, e tradisce la profonda aspirazione contemporanea, inebriata di immanenza, a non accettare né prima e dopo, né inizio e fine.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Jerome and Kevin are back to discuss the penultimate season of IFC's baseball comedy series. This Season, a now sober Brockmire navigates life in Florida, having to share the booth once again, and coming to terms with Jules and Charles no longer a part of his life. The hosts discuss probably the worst episode of the series, how some characters are "done dirty", the roles that homosexuality, religion, and cancer play in the season, the addition of a big named actor to the cast, and most importantly, Clemenza!

What movie would you just watch over and over again? For Jake, it's Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Kim's pick is Just Go With It, and Kalee's is You've Got Mail. But today, we're going to be talking about movies that have let us down and have burned us! HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: The second of the Star Wars trilogy, The Last Jedi, just let Jake down. This movie had a new director and they just ruined the characterizations of most characters. Why we think the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life was the worst mini-series ever! Kalee hates My Bestfriend's Wedding. Why did Julia Roberts' character made her cringe? Kim's pick is Message in a Bottle. She didn't realize Nicholas Sparks has this pattern. The first two releases of the The Godfather were perfect, but we didn't like the third one. (Check out our The Godfather movie night theme as well as our recipe for Clemenza's spaghetti.)  Why The Suicide Squad (the second one) didn't blow Kim away. Now, Jake explains why he thinks superheroes movies should be “the weirder, the better” Other movies that just burned us: Hanging Up, City of Angels, Donnie Darko (why Jake thinks it's the worst movie ever made), All About Steve, Kate and Leo's movie reunion Revolutionary Road, and The Shape of Water.

We're about to make you an offer you can't refuse...you could gain some cultural education by listening to this week's episode or you could sleep with the fishes! If you haven't guessed already, this week Margaret and Ethan dive into a landmark movie in American culture, Francis Ford Coppola's classic The Godfather (1972). Starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, and Robert Duvall, this staple of 70's film is the inspiration for a number of mafia movies that followed. The film won Best Picture, Actor (Brando), and screenplay (which was adapted from novelist and co-screenwriter Mario Puzo's novel by the same title), and both Caan and Duval also received nominations for Best Supporting Actor at the 1973 Academy Awards. American film making and culture has been heavily influenced by this film since its release in 1972, and many major publications and film critics consider it to be one of the best films ever made. Pour a glass of wine (or grape juice if you're underaged), make some of Clemenza's famous pasta, and settle in as we discuss this fixed point in cultural history.

During the last year of his life, Mozart was deep into writing THE MAGIC FLUTE when he suddenly got a commission to write a new opera seria: LA CLEMENZA DI TITO. This season, powerhouse mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato sings her world-renowned portrayal of the tortured Sesto for the very first time at the Met! She is joined onstage by audience favorite, Matthew Polenzani, who adds the title role of Tito to his vast repertoire. In this episode, Guild lecturer and podcast co-host Naomi Barrettara discusses the historical context and musical highlights of this monumental work. (Musical examples from CLEMENZA within the lecture are from the Met’s 2012 Live in HD Broadcast, featuring Kate Lindsey singing Annio, Lucy Crowe singing Servilia, Elīna Garanča singing Sesto, Barbara Frittoli singing Vitellia, and Giuseppe Filianoti singing Tito.)

Nueva entrega de La Gran Evasión, la 216, continuamos el descenso de Michael Corleone hacia su absoluta soledad, afrontamos El Padrino, Parte II. En 1974, Francis Ford Coppola, arropado por el éxito de El Padrino, con total control por parte del estudio y un talento descomunal, se rodeó del mismo equipo técnico de la primera parte, para ofrecernos las claves de la familia Corleone. Expandiendo una historia hacia atrás y hacia adelante, como nunca antes se había hecho en el cine, con riesgo y pericia, con un elenco de actores en estado de gracia y un relato que corre paralelo a la America del siglo XX, al Capitalismo, al Sueño Americano por antonomasia. En los ojos de Michael Corleone y los gestos de Vito Andolini, se concentran la tragedia y el precio por una ambición desmedida, un alto precio a pagar por el poder. Coppola apostó por Robert de Niro para encarnar al joven Vito, un riesgo, dado el peso de Brando en la primera entrega y su impresionante caracterización del Don, pero Robert de Niro despliega una actuación simplemente extraordinaria, de la mano de Coppola da vida al joven Vito, vemos antes nuestros ojos, como se forja la voz, los gestos, el carácter de ese Padrino al que dio rostro Brando, absolutamente brillante. Al Pacino no se queda atrás, apoyado en una frialdad pavorosa, se convierte en Michael Corleone, vemos al monstruo tras cada golpe que lo hace mas poderosa, tras cada jugada maestra, su humanidad se va perdiendo, mientras la obsesión de su padre, La Familia, se hace pedazos, justo cuando más la protege, cuanto más intenta salvaguardarla, mas la destruye por dentro, con decisiones imperdonables….el pobre Fredo, da fe del gélido corazón de Michael, en el que no cabe la piedad. John Cazale en uno de sus papeles más inmensos. Diana Keaton, Kate, tampoco soporta al ser en el que se ha convertido aquel joven soldado que conoció, otra víctima de la ambición, con unos momentos junto a sus hijos inolvidables. Robert Duvall, como el hermanastro Tom Hagen, también tiene extractos brillantes, esas escenas al atardecer con el viejo Pentangeli en la cárcel, son fascinantes, otro acierto de la película, suplir la baja de Clemenza, con Frank Pentangeli, Michael V. Gazzo, el traidor traicionado, el gánster de los viejos tiempos, que no puede escapar a los tentáculos de Michael Corleone… En fin, una secuela portentosa, dos relatos a dos luces, gracias a la maravillosa fotografía de Willis, re-visitando espacios y situaciones comunes, que ya vimos en la primera película, alternando tiempos y tempos para conocer el origen y el destino de los Corleone, al abrigo de la magistral sintonía de Nino Rota, aún mas sutil, aún más melancólica si cabe. ..nos quedamos abatidos tras los cristales del ventanal de la mansión del lago Tahoe, junto a Michael, absolutamente solo. Acabamos de asistir a una Elegía, una reflexión Shakespeariana sobre el poder, un trozo de la historia del cine…. EL Padrino Parte II. En la penumbra del estudio de Radiopolis, con los Cannoli en la mesa, el vino calentado la sangre y los ojos cegados por las miradas de Michael y la fiereza de Vito, esta noche lluviosa, comentamos la obra maestra de Francis Ford Coppola, José Miguel Moreno, Raul Gallego, Gervi Navío, nuestro oyente invitado, Dani Corleone, y desde las sombras del Cine, con la toalla de la crítica envuelta en llamas, nos apunta con su pluma… César Bardés. Gervasio Navío Flores.

Ever wondered why we seem to love a good gangster? Well, then this is for you! To tell the truth, we would have picked this anyway for the podcast because the title was just so good! But it happens to be an excellent and very full short talk by Khemasuri on a growing area of contemporary Buddhist philosophical thought. This one requires a bit of concentration – but it pays off with her passionately argued case for embracing personal responsibility and community engagement as a way of effecting social change in our troubled world.
