Mike and Nick celebrate spooky season with two classics of silent horror cinema. What better way to kick off the festivities other than travelling back in time? 1926's Faust sees FW Murnau retell the classic tale of making a deal with the devil. 1928's The Man Who Laughs sees Paul Leni channel Conrad Veidt (of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari fame) to tell the tragic love story of a man disfigured during youth. Both films capitalize on the early stages of the medium. Where sound is absent, the two films more than make up for with their stars' expressive power.
Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we revisit our series on rotoscoping with a fun chat with Jordan Mechner, of Karateka, Prince of Persia, and The Last Express fame. We also talk about his new graphic memoir: Replay, Memoir of an Uprooted Family. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Podcast breakdown: 00:50 Interview 1:01:50 Break 1:02:03 Outro Issues covered: his history, train trips, caricatures and making stuff, not living up to the greats, improvising into his games, animation not holding up, filming his mother's karate teacher, his father, and his brother, handcrafting for rotoscoping, taking silent film classes, cross-cutting and wipes, the moment it came to live, the power of abstraction vs the uncanny valley, the impact on what we wanted for animation, caricature and capturing someone, finding the essence of a person, specialization and stepping into direction, drawing ten real people and getting into the graphic memoir, caricature and selling the big moments of small animations, abstraction and universality, adapting to higher resolution, breaking the illusion of interactivity, not being photorealistic but still having the nuance of real actors, highly compressible art and fluidity, uncanny valley of interactivity, picking the right constraints, the train's limitations enabling the possibility of depth, the fascination of interactive theater, holding up better, physical recording separated from voice, allowing for improvisation or variability, being attracted to historical fiction, his family's history, drawing the real things into the memoir, experience, technical nuance and caricature, moments of impactful character interactions, committing to a high bar.

This week, it's the start of a beautiful friendship, as of all the gin joints in all the world, this movie had to walk into ours... Yes, Hayley is finally pulling one of the all-time greats down off the shelf as we watch 1942's Casablanca, directed by Richard Curtiz, and starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre and Dooley Wilson. Widely regarded as one of the most beloved films of all time, it will come as absolutely no surprise that we both adored it. A tragic romance set against a surprisingly timely morality play making big swinging statements on the Nazis and fascism as the war was still happening. It's great! If you'd like to watch the film before listening along to our discussion, and in the case of a movie like this we do recommend you do, Casablanca is currently streaming in Canada on Crave and Starz at the time of publication. The full Roger Ebert 50th anniversary essay: https://www.rogerebert.com/roger-ebert/as-time-goes-by-its-the-still-the-same-old-glorious-casablanca Other works referenced in this episode include The Fall Guy, Bad Boys, Bad Boys II, Hot Fuzz, Suze, Am I OK?, How To Be Single, Light Sleeper, The First Omen, Immaculate, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Hot Rod, BlackBerry, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, The Hunt For Red October, Notorious, Amsterdam, Mad Men, The Simpsons and countless more. We're back next Friday to continue our run of five-star classics, with David Fincher's magnum opus: 2007's Zodiac, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr., which is currently streaming on Paramount+ in Canada and presumably in the US as well. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

Transplantation ist ein Element in Body-Horror-Filmen, das alte Ängste in uns wach ruft. Übernehmen wir mit dem Körperteil die Eigenschaften des "Vorbesitzers"? ORLAC'S HÄNDE ist der erste dieser Filme, unübersehbar spätexpressionistisch, große Bauten, große Gesten, große Augen. Die Geschichte nach einem Roman von Maurice Renard erzählt vom Pianisten Paul Orlac, der bei einem Unfall seine Hände verliert. Der Arzt entscheidet sich, ihm die Hände eines gerade hingerichteten Mörders anzunähen. Die Operation gelingt, aber Orlac erträgt den Gedanken nicht, mit den Mörderhänden wieder Klavier zu spielen oder seine geliebte Frau zu berühren. Und dann geschieht ein Mord. Haben die Hände des Mörders wieder zugeschlagen?Der Film stellt Orlacs psychischen Zustand in den Mittelpunkt, die expressionistische Bildsprache spiegelt intensiv Orlacs Ängste. Seine Hände wirken tatsächlich wie Fremdkörper, als hätten sie einen eigenen Willen. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Film sprechen wir über die Hände der liebenden Ehefrau, über die beeindruckende Live-Klavierbegleitung von Uwe Oberg, über den drei Jahre später kommenden Tonfilm, über Handlungswendungen - und über nicht sehr stumme Betrunkene und Mäuse. Direkt nach dem Film vor dem Caligari am Mikrofon: Kristin und Thomas.
Story: England im Jahr 1690: Gerade aus dem Exil heimgekehrt, um seinen kleinen Sohn Gwynplaine zu sehen, wird der Adlige Lord Clancharlie vom grausamen König James II. hingerichtet. Zuvor muss er jedoch erfahren, dass der König den Meisterchirurgen Dr. Hardquannone beauftragt hat, Gwynplaine grausam zu entstellen: Ein künstlich geschaffenes irres Grinsen verurteilt ihn dazu, von nun an auf ewig über seinen törichten Vater zu lachen …

During the era of the Weimar Republic, there was famously a known movement advocating for the acceptance and normalization of homesexual people within society. Weimar Germany had a thriving gay scene, but one which still faced oppression and prejudice thanks to the tyrannical legal codes of the previous regime, which were not unlike the laws implemented elsewhere in the world. A brief window of free speech allowed advocates to create films about this subject, most of which were later censored and destroyed. One that survived was Anders als die Andern, a polemic starring German matinee idol Conrad Veidt, just a year before his career would take off staring as the terrifying somnambulant Cesare in Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari. Veidt's career saw him starring in some of the most popular and celebrated films of the day, before eventually being forced to make a decision to leave or stay when Hitler and the Nazis seized power in 1933. Listen as we explore Veidt's expansive career and legacy, while also diving in to the progress politics and representations of a pioneering LGBTQ text which nearly didn't survive to today.As a bonus, Stephen discusses his thoughts on the German Expressionist classic Der letzte Mann (The Last Laugh, 1924), after watching it for the first time in light of last week's discussion. This pillar of Weimar Cinema remains one of the chief text's in understanding the era, and should not be missed in any judicious overview.Stephen discusses Der letzte Mann (1924): 00:00-16:51Conradt Veidt Biography: 16:52-33:03Anders als di Andern (Different from the Others, 1919): 33:03-1:01:09Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.

Stéphane Bern, entouré de ses chroniqueurs historiquement drôles et parfaitement informés, s'amuse avec l'Histoire – la grande, la petite, la moyenne… - et retrace les destins extraordinaires de personnalités qui n'auraient jamais pu se croiser, pour deux heures où le savoir et l'humour avancent main dans la main. Aujourd'hui, Conrad Veidt.
Historiquement Vôtre réunit trois personnages qui ont le sourire : la peintre Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, connue notamment pour ses toiles de Marie-Antoinette, qui a libéré l'art du portrait en peignant des visages souriants et naturels, à commencer par le sien et celui de sa fille. Puis, lui, son sourire - terrifiant - en a inspiré un autre, plus célèbre encore : le comédien Conrad Veidt qui a joué dans “L'homme qui rit”... un homme dont le visage a été mutilé, et la bouche élargie de chaque côté jusqu'aux oreilles, formant un horrible sourire qui ne s'efface jamais, repris ensuite dans les Comics par un certain Joker. Et un artiste vivant, toujours mort de rire sur ses toiles où il se met en scène en riant, un peu, beaucoup, à la folie : le peintre chinois Yue Minjun.
Back on November 26th 1942 the movie world was changed with the release of the Michael Curtiz directed Casablanca. The film appears on lists such as the IMDb Top 250, the Letterboxd Top 250 Narrative Features, AFI's 100 Years 100 Movies and the 2012 Sight & Sound Critics Poll. The film won Best Picture, Director and Screenplay at the 1944 Oscars. It is beloved the world over with a stacked cast that includes Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Peter Lorre, Sidney Greenstreet and more. Inspired by Emma Badame's Milestone Movie Anniversaries in 2022 over at That Shelf, we decided to see why this movie still resonates with movie lovers.

On today's episode we discuss a story that initially outsold “Bram Stoker's Dracula” only to later fade into obscurity, a honeymoon trip in a ghost car, the first film centering on The Black Plague of the thirteen hundreds, an early German anthology staring Conrad Veidt of “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” fame and more devilish tales!
Today's film is “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,” released in 1920. Starring Werner Krauss as Dr. Caligari and Conrad Veidt as Cesare. The movie is directed by Robert Wiene.

On this spooky season edition of Parallax Views, film scholar Gary D. Rhodes, one of the foremost authorities on Bela Lugosi and classic horror cinema, and Robert Guffey return to the show to discuss their new edited volume Scripts from the Crypt No. 12: Tod Browning's Revolt of the Dead. Tod Browning is perhaps best known for director 1931's Dracula. Starring Bela Lugosi as the titular vampire count, a role which he'd become inextricably linked to for the rest of his career, Dracula was a massive success for Hollywood's depression era Universal Studios and launched that studios foray into making wildly popular creatures features for the next three decades. Before The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, and The Mummy there was Tod Browning's Dracula. Browning, however, wasn't new to either Hollywood or weaving tales of the macabre for the silver screen. Born on July 12, 1880, Browning ran was fascinated from a young age by carnivals and eventually ran away from home to join a traveling circus. From there he'd transition to acting and, finally, becoming a director. In the silent film era, Browning became known for his collaborations with Lon Chaney, Sr., who became known as "The Man of a Thousand Faces" and whose credits include such classics as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Phantom of the Opera. Together, Browning and Chaney told macabre tales involving themes like violence and mutilation in films like West of Zanzibar, The Unholy Three, The Unknown, and the infamously lost London After Midnight. Browning would then go on to direct Dracula before making other films such as the controversial Freaks (featuring real-life circus people) his London After Midnight talkie remake Mark of the Vampire. In this conversation Gary, Robert and I discuss: - An introduction to the Scripts from the Crypt series founded by film historian Tom Weaver - Biographical background on Tod Browning, who was often spoken of as the Edgar Allen Poe of filmmakers in his time and his influence on filmmakers and artists including Ray Bradbury, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Woody Allen - The critical beating Browning has taken over the years and why Gary argues that it's mistaken; the Spanish Dracula vs. Browning's Dracula; Browning's transition from the silent films to talking motion pictures; Browning's collaborations with Lon Chaney Sr. and the horror elements in them - Browning's light-hearted murder mystery Miracles for Sale; Browning's early talkie The Thirteenth Chair starring Bela Lugosi (before Dracula) and its taking on the subject of spiritualist conmen/frauds; Browning's silent films such as West of Zanzibar, The Unknown, and The Unholy Three - Tod Browning's thematic obsessions: trickery, fakery, deception, mutilation, sexual frustration, and more; the different kinds of trickery dealt with in Browning's films; harmless truths vs. dangerous lies and swindling; skepticism towards medium, seances, and the supernatural; women and how they are portrayed in Browning's movies (such as Carol Borland's Luna in Mark of the Vampire); the Scooby Doo-eqsue element of Browning's murder mysteries - Tod Browning's Freaks; a movie that used real-life circus people; the film's subversive quality by way of its making viewers sympathize with the circus people and treating the "normal" people as the villains; the question of Freaks success and its effect on Browning's career; mentioning how the pop punk band The Ramones were influenced by Freaks; the role of vaudeville, circuses, and sideshow life on Browning's work - The Browning script/treatment for the unmade movie Revolt of the Dead; the movie would've predated William Friedkin's The Exorcist and Night of the Living Dead in dealing with now common horror tropes like demonic possession and the zombie apocalypse; Revolt of the Dead would've even included human crucifixions; the story would've also included the phenomena of stigmata, the inexplicable appearance of wounds on the wrists like those of Jesus Christ during the crucifixion; the unique qualities of the script - Tod Browning's Londo After Midnight, the "Holy Grail" of lost films; the rumors, legends, hoaxes around the movie ever since it was destroyed in a fire at the MGM vault; the iconic image of Lon Chaney Sr;. in scar make-up for London After Midnight; other lost films including F.W. Murnau's Der Januskopf (aka The Head Janus; starring Conrad Veidt and Bela Lugosi) and the 1959 Bela Lugosi-headlining chiller Lock Up Your Daughters - Robert' novel Bela Lugosi's Dead, which deals with a man searching for the lost test footage of Lugosi as Frankentein's monster - The Revolt of the Dead in relationship to White Zombie, William Seabrook's Magic Island novel and its success, American military involvement in Haiti, and racist/xenophobic sentiments about Haiti in the early 20th century - Appreciating early 20th century cinema; getting past the "I can't watch Black-and-White movies" mentality; the rewarding aspect of watching classic movies - Tod Browning and the Grand Guignol, the theater tradition in France obsessed with the gruesome and grotesque And much, much more!
For this MGM 1941 episode, we again pair a classic with a rarity: Cukor's A Woman's Face, starring Joan Crawford, Melvyn Douglas, and Conrad Veidt, and The Trial of Mary Dugan, directed by Norman Z. McLeod and starring Laraine Day, Robert Young, and Tom Conway (aka "The Nice George Sanders"). We discuss A Woman's Face as a proto-Warner Bros. Crawford noir, the persona of Robert Young, the uses of no-subtext acting, and the starkly different construction of these two women-on-trial movies. And in our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, we take a brief look at Buck and the Preacher, directed by and starring Sidney Poitier (and co-starring future acteurist spotlight subject Ruby Dee, although she doesn't get a lot of screen time in this one).

In this month's episode, we hear from Rabbi Chava Bahle at a Two-year Academy in Nebraska on the topic of Hebrew Spirituality and Holy Texts. Chava Bahle is a twice ordained rabbi and maggid, a Jewish inspirational storyteller. Her current work is to live into the teaching of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, her teacher, of blessed memory, who taught that we can and should find nourishment in traditions other than our own. She earned her Doctor of Ministry from Catholic Theological Union at Chicago, where she focused on mystical aspects of interreligious dialogue. Chava writes book reviews for academic journals, and since a brain injury in 2018, focuses her life on study and prayer. She is currently pursuing study for an ethical biography of German expressionist actor Conrad Veidt. Rabbi Chava explains that to imitate God is not only to give life, but to Sustain, nurture, and enhance life. Our host, Shalom, asks, “Perhaps sacred texts are doorways, invitatioons the Holy One urges you to pass through into an experience with the mystical. Perhaps there are Living Words around you even now, not text but image that is drawing you in in the same way. Can we pause long enough to first receive the invitation and then follow through?”
Meeting agenda: We close out Vintage Month with another silent screamer, The Man Who Laughs starring Conrad Veidt.
This may be the beginning of a beautiful podcast... We open up this week's podcast with some thoughts and observations on the NFL Wild Card Weekend before diving into a Blue Plate Special filled with WWII pictures The Longest Day (1962) and Kelly's Heroes (1970). Upon finally ducking into the exotic saloon known as Rick's Cafe, we discuss what exactly about Casablanca makes it among the most legendary creations in the history of cinema, why the movie's aged over the past eighty years like the finest of wines, how it fits into the evolution of Humphrey Bogart's iconic star persona, and delight in the deliciously arch performances of Claude Rains and Conrad Veidt (#FindOne hive unite).

This week, the gang kicks off another We Love Movies month with a chat about an absolute banger from the Classic Hollywood era, Casablanca! How shocking is it that Rick Blaine is supposed to be just 37 years old here? Has there been a sexier Resistance fighter than Paul Henreid?

Phil, Jake and Jason are reunited with Natalie H. to rank Harry Styles and clowns on the List of Every Damn Thing.VOTE HERE to help choose which item on the List of Every Damn Thing should be re-ranked in an upcoming episode (you can vote every day, and for multiple items).If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net (or get at us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook).SHOW NOTES: Harry Styles has a role in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk. It's not a major role, but it's bigger than the role of Guy Looking at Camera. Charli XCX is a pop star and songwriter from the UK. You know her voice from the hooks on "I Love It" and "Fancy". Phil appreciates her but doesn't know the name for what her fans call themselves (a la Harry Styles' “Stylers”) so he's kind of noncommittal in his fandom. Harry Styles' fingernail polish line is called Pleasing and the pre-sale is already sold out. We make the obvious comparison of Harry Styles to Prince, and express doubts as to whether Styles is a songwriter on the level of Prince. Jake looked into it, and found that Harry Styles is in fact a songwriter (including songs for other artists), but unlike Prince he doesn't appear to have sole credit on any songs. Also, he's nowhere near as prolific a songwriter as Prince (at least so far). Natalie is right when she says Billy Porter wore the Christian Siriano tux dress design to the Oscars in 2019. Here's the Vogue Magazine Harry Styles story that we discuss. “Hungry Heart” was written by Bruce Springsteen for the Ramones. If you listen to the song, you can hear how he sings it sort of like Joey Ramone and you can also imagine how Joey Ramone would have sung it. People have tried to recreate it. Phil likes to imagine it would have sounded like a song on End of the Century. It's not clear why they never recorded the song. According to Andrew Dice Clay, My Cousin Vinny was developed as a vehicle for him, but when The Adventures of Ford Fairlane flopped, they made it with Joe Pesci instead. In an impressive feat of inference and detective work, Phil and his wife figured this out by themselves. She said that it seemed like the part was written for someone younger and they just wracked their brains thinking of Italian-American comedic actors from the early 90s until they figured it out. Pee-Wee Herman maybe could have worked playing the title role in My Cousin Vinny but probably he shouldn't have done Italian-Face. We briefly discuss the Insane Clown Posse and how our podcast is pro-Juggalo. Bill Irwin is the king of clowns. Oscar-winner Julianne Moore plays a sexy clown in The Ladies' Man. “Tears of a Clown” by Smokey Robinson is one of the greatest pop songs to ever be recorded. Here's the Cecily Strong clown bit that was on Saturday Night Live. Bianca del Rio is the winner of Season 6 of Rupaul's Drag Race and is often referred to as the “Clown in a Gown”. Jake refers to “Wavy Gravy's Clown College” but it's actually a Clown Camp called Camp Winnarainbow. It's still in operation. Talk about glamping! Pickle Family Circus was a troupe in San Francisco in the ‘70's and is said to have brought back the circus trend. The Man Who Laughs is a 1928 German film. Conrad Veidt's look in the title role is where the look of the Joker from Batman was pulled from in 1940. None of us could say for sure what the capital city of Tennessee is. It's Nashville. Jake was wrong when he said San Francisco was never the capital of California. It was temporarily made the capitol in 1862 while Sacramento suffered from flooding. There was naver a capital building in San Francisco, though; the state legislature was held at the Merchants' Exchange Building during the brief tenure in S.F. The I Love Lucy episode featuring Pepito the Clown that Jason refers to was actually a pilot episode that never aired during the original run of the show, and was apparently lost for decades. We ponder whether the term “hobo” is offensive, and decide that it isn't. But we might be wrong. Violator from Spawn is a pretty sucky character.

Historically Speaking-Uncommon History with an Unconventional Pair
Lately, there have been headlines and comments among celebrities, news commentators and politicians to the effect – “This is how Hitler got into power!” or “This is why Nazism took over Germany!” So where is the truth? Are there analogies to be made between modern day America and the rise of Nazism? Can socialism and democracy co-exist? Is the term democratic socialist an oxymoron? Get ready for a deep dive into some cold, hard historical facts as we explore the answers to these difficult questions and most important, how Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or Nazi Party, rose to power.BooksThe Rise and Fall of The Third Reich by William L.

Happpy Valentines Day 2021, everyone! In this episode, filmmaker Chris Esper and I dive deep into one of our all-time favorite films: Casablanca from 1942!

Casablanca is one of those films that just keeps getting better upon each viewing and you always notice something that you didn't notice before in previous viewings! With an amazing cast including Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, and Conrad Veidt, Casablanca is a fabulous amalgamation of several things that shouldn't have worked together, but somehow make this movie constantly rank in the top 5 lists of film lovers around the world! So sit down with your loved one to watch this film for Valentine's Day, and if you listen to this show first, you can impress them with what you have learned!

Seit März 2020 besprechen sie im Tele-Hørst regelmäßig drei Filme zu einem speziellen Thema. Seit Januar 2021 tun sie das unabhängig vom Tele-Stammtisch.

As a party of aristocrats gathers at the Vogelöd family manor house for a hunting weekend, the uninvited arrival of Count Oechst (Lothar Mehnert) interrupts their plans. While rumors persist that the urbane and disdainful Oechst may have murdered his own brother (Paul Hartmann), social discomfort increases further when the Baron (Paul Bildt) and Baroness (Olga Tschechowa) arrive, as she is the recently remarried widow of Oechst's brother. When the Baroness' confessor, Father Faramond (Victor Blütner), unaccountably disappears, the villa becomes the arena for separating truth from lies, via two dreams and two flashbacks, plus multiple deceptions, accusations and confrontations. "The Haunted Castle" is one of the lesser known earliest accomplishments by the great visual artist/director F.W. Murnau. Schloß Vogelöd is a treat not only visually for the eye, but instills intrigue for the viewer in this new age of filmmaking. Mentioned in this podcast: Cinderella (1899) https://youtu.be/Wv3Z_STlzpc Adam's watchlist included: The Student of Prague (1913), and The Man Who Laughs (1928), starring Conrad Veidt and co-written by Victor Hugo. Hosted by YiFeng, Lily and Adam. Recorded on November 13, 2020.
Post WW1, F.W. Murnau directs this German-Danish co-production, showcasing some of his best intentions toward future films. Der Gang in die Nacht (Journey into the Night) is derived from a screenplay by the Danish scenarist Harriet Bloch. It’s an example of the “nobility film,” a genre cultivated by the Nordisk studio where Bloch worked. In these stories, an upper-class man becomes obsessed with a working-class woman, and she leads him to disaster. In Murnau’s film, the well-to-do protagonist is Dr. Eigil Börne. Uneasy with his courtship of his wispy fiancée Helene, he plunges into an affair with the dancer Lily. They move to a seaside cottage, where their idyll is interrupted by the spectral figure of a blind artist (Conrad Veidt). After Dr. Börne restores the Painter’s sight, Lily falls in love with him and leaves Börne. Unhappiness ensues for all, and yes, suicide is involved. Be sure to join KANOPY if you currently have not.

Tim and Lee talk about all things from DC Comics latest mini series Batman 3 Jokers. Full show notes and links below: ----more---- The Joker is a supervillain created by Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Jerry Robinson who first appeared in the debut issue of the comic book Batman (April 25, 1940), published by DC Comics. Credit for the Joker's creation is disputed; Kane and Robinson claimed responsibility for the Joker's design while acknowledging Finger's writing contribution. Although the Joker was planned to be killed off during his initial appearance, he was spared by editorial intervention, allowing the character to endure as the archenemy of the superhero Batman. In his comic book appearances, the Joker is portrayed as a criminal mastermind. Introduced as a psychopath with a warped, sadistic sense of humor; the character became a goofy prankster in the late 1950s in response to regulation by the Comics Code Authority, before returning to his darker roots during the early 1970s. As Batman's nemesis, the Joker has been part of the superhero's defining stories, including the murder of Jason Todd—the second Robin and Batman's ward—and the paralysis of one of Batman's allies, Barbara Gordon. The Joker has had various possible origin stories during his decades of appearances. The most common story involves him falling into a tank of chemical waste that bleaches his skin white and turns his hair green and lips bright red; the resulting disfigurement drives him insane. The antithesis of Batman in personality and appearance, the Joker is considered by critics to be his perfect adversary. Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Jerry Robinson are credited with creating the Joker, but their accounts of the character's conception differ, each providing his own version of events. Finger's, Kane's, and Robinson's versions acknowledge that Finger produced an image of actor Conrad Veidt in character as Gwynplaine (a man with a disfigured face, giving him a perpetual grin) in the 1928 film The Man Who Laughs as an inspiration for the Joker's appearance, and Robinson produced a sketch of a joker playing card. In the 1988–89 story arc "A Death in the Family", the Joker murders Batman's sidekick (the second Robin, Jason Todd). "A Death in the Family" is a four-issue, 1988 Batman comic book storyline published by DC Comics. The story was written by Jim Starlin and illustrated by Jim Aparo, while Mike Mignola (28 year old Mike) designed each cover. Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's 1988 graphic novel The Killing Joke expands on the Joker's origins, describing the character as a failed comedian who adopts the identity of the Red Hood to support his pregnant wife.[25][52] Unlike The Dark Knight Returns, The Killing Joke takes place in mainstream continuity.[53] The novel is described by critics as one of the greatest Joker stories ever written, influencing later comic stories (including the forced retirement of then-Batgirl Barbara Gordon after she is paralyzed by the Joker) Batman: Three Jokers Geoff Johns basically taps Alan Moore's origin for The Joker from The Killing Joke as the official Joker origin - and then twists it. Instead of The Comedian's pregnant wife dying in that electrical fire (as Moore told it), she was helped by the police to escape from her increasingly insane and criminal husband. This drastically changes the dynamic between Joker and Batman - and the potential danger the villain poses, if he ever finds out the truth. In 2006, the Joker was number one on Wizard magazine's "100 Greatest Villains of All Time." In 2008 Wizard's list of "200 Greatest Comic Book Characters of All Time" placed the Joker fifth, and the character was eighth on Empire's list of "50 Greatest Comic Book Characters" (the highest-ranked villain on both lists). In 2009, the Joker was second on IGN's list of "Top 100 Comic Book Villains," and in 2011, Wired named him "Comics' Greatest Supervillain." Complex, CollegeHumor, and WhatCulture named the Joker the greatest comic book villain of all time while IGN listed him the top DC Comics villain in 2013, and Newsarama as the greatest Batman villain.

Being an aficionado of schlocky horror movies from the 80's, Cheryl picked Waxwork when it was her turn to select the subject for an installment of Reel Deep Dive. While digging up background info on the film for his notes, Ryan stumbled across the fact that Waxwork is supposedly a remake of Waxworks, a German Expressionist film from 1924. He asked Cheryl if it'd be cool if they compared and contrasted the two movies for the episode. Cheryl was keen on the idea, setting up a dilemma over the fact that, aside from the title, these two movies don't actually have all that much in common. Ryan and Cheryl attempt to make the best of it anyways. Talking points include the interesting career paths of David Warner and Conrad Veidt, the necessity of making creative cinematography and set design choices when the budget is laughably small, the struggles of writing a believable romantic subplot into a horror movie, and why the tuxedo became an iconic sartorial choice for lesbians... Yes, most of those topics are (at least sort of) relevant to the two films being dissected in this episode. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ryan-valentine3/support
On today’s episode, I talked with actor Derrin Stull, who picked 1928’s The Man Who Laughs. You know when we were all kids and some of us including myself dressed up as what we were told were the classic Halloween costumes? Y’know like the Mummy, Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula? Well, our main character Gwynplaine should be held among them as The Man Who Laughs built the aesthetic foundation and stage upon which the Universal Picture Horror film series, its monsters, and the horror genre as a whole starred. Directed by German expressionist Paul Leni and starring horror actor progenitor Conrad Veidt alongside the very first scream queen herself Mary Philbin, The Man Who Laughs follows Gwynplaine a man who was horribly disfigured as a child and is sentenced to live his life with a permanent smile due to his father’s failed rebellion. His life is both cursed and blessed in childhood as he saves a baby girl named Deá who is blind, and both are then rescued by a kindly philosopher. They grow older, fall in love, and live happy lives despite the crowds that cruelly mock Gwynplaine until someone unveils his secret past. So, sit back, relax, and watch the smile that inspired one of film’s greatest villains, The Joker. You can purchase The Man Who Laughs here. Cinemallennials is a podcast where myself and another millennial are introduced to a classic film for the very first time ranging from the birth of cinema to the 1960s. Myself and my guest will open your eyes to the vast landscape of classic film as we discuss the films' performers, their performances, those behind the camera, and how they and their films still influence our world today.

Lee and Daniel return to see if they can get a few chuckles out of Paul Leni's "The Man Who Laughs" (1928), featuring another signature performance from Conrad Veidt. Is this a horror film? Is this a true silent film? Duchesses having orgasms; facial scars; German expressionism; iron maidens being bullshit; perfumed wig-wearing fops; yawning in unison; and the rules for doing step sibling porn are just a few of the things brought up in this episode, as well as a large amount of listener comments, and what Lee has watched as of late.

Mark Maddox joins us for a 100th Anniversary tribute to a film considered by many to be the very first horror film, "The Cabonet Of Caligari," starring Conrad Veidt, Lil Dagover, Werner Krauss and Friedrich Feher. Released in March 1920, the film has received accolades for its unique set design, lighting and costuming. Join us as we honor a film that has influenced so many others the last 100 years on this episode of "Monster Attack!"

This week on Showtime at the Senate, I talk with Green Brain Comics co-owner Dan Merritt about the 1928 silent film classic The Man Who Laughs, some history about the film, his influence on the initial creation of the Joker and his many variations since. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat. Feb. 8th, 2020. Doors 7:00 pm Movie 8:00 pm Tickets $10 Not Rated 1 hour 50 min. The Senate Theater and the Detroit Theater Organ Society present a screening of Paul Leni’s silent film, “The Man Who Laughs” (1928). Detroit Red Wings organist Lance Luce will provide organ accompaniment on the mighty 4/34 Wurlitzer theater organ! Based on the novel by Victor Hugo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Les Misérables), the story follows Gwynplaine, also known as the Laughing Man, famously portrayed by Conrad Veidt. Now the star of a traveling freak show, Gwynplaine was disfigured as a young child and forced to wear a permanent grin so that he would “laugh forever at his fool of a father”. Gwynplaine later finds love in the heart of a young blind woman, Dea (Mary Philbin), but will they be permitted to remain together or will they be forced apart? The character of Gwynplaine, and more notably Condrad Veidt’s performance, serves as the primary inspiration for Batman’s greatest villain, the Joker. Further, despite being filmed as a romantic melodrama, Gwynplaine’s horrific appearance and the expressionistic tone of the film would greatly influence the Universal Classic Monster movies made from the 1930’s to the 1950’s. Green Brain Comics will be on hand with &ll your Joker related comics, graphic novels and merch. After the film, organist Lance Luce will conduct a Q&A session and attendees will be invited to tour our organ chamber Sponsored by the Knight Foundation.
You Must Remember This . . . The Continuing Power of Casablanca On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Ibrahim & I sit down to discuss a film, widely considered on of the greatest ever made, Michael Curtiz's 1942 classic of Love, Espionage, & Resistance in a troubled and dangerous world, Casablanca. Focusing on the heartbroken and cynical American ex-patriate, Rick Blaine, Casablanca has remained an American classic for nearly eight decades. A very basic story of love and cynicism set in a Nazi-occupied foreign land, Casablanca has remained the template of Classical Romanticism. Nothing can be written in this blurb that would convey the power of Humphrey Bogart, the beauty and tenderness of Ingrid Bergman, and the wealth of varied and colorful supporting cast (perhaps the best assembled up to that point) including: Claude Rains, Paul Henried, Sydney Greenstreet, Dooley Wilson, Conrad Veidt, and Peter Lorre. It's an incredible film that we both consider a pleasure to return to. Take a listen and let us know what you think. Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Continued Thanks.

In this episode, Curt and Kevin mark the 1,000th issue of Detective Comics and the 80th birthday of Batman with a look back at three early milestones in the career of DC Comics' mega-popular Caped Crusader—beginning with his first appearance (as “The Bat-Man”) in Detective Comics #27 from 1939!

Ryan Murphy's show Feud may have created new fans of Joan Crawford's film career, but one episode suggests that Above Suspicion was a bomb that doesn't merit viewing. On the contrary, Joan Crawford, Fred MacMurray, and Conrad Veidt deliver a rock-solid spy caper filled with bawdy comedy and moments of suspense. It may have been the end of Joan's career in MGM after 18 years as a star of the studio, but she sails out on a high note. And two days after she left, Joan started a new contract with Warner Brothers.

The ‘Nolanverse' rolls on, as we focus on THE DARK KNIGHT. Sam's view of the film may not be as predicted, before we talk about the origins of the Joker, what it means to really be chaotic, and the young loss of a phenomenal acting talent.

Monster kid Greg Starrett returns to Monster Kid Radio this week to join Derek for a conversation about the 1928 film The Man Who Laughs (dir. Paul Leni). One of them has never really watched the movie before, and since Greg is one of the people behind and even published a zine devoted to Conrad Veidt when he was a kid, it's probably not Greg who's not seen The Man Who Laughs. Greg even dressed up as Gwynplaine when he was younger . . . multiple times.

Kat and Samm return for episode 12 of Daughters of Darkness, where they discuss mad science in general and transplant-themed horror in particular. They begin with an analysis of the origins of mad science fiction in Gothic literature — partly a reaction to the European Enlightenment — through the fiction and nonfiction work of writers like Coleridge and Goethe, culminating in Mary Shelley’s seminal Frankenstein. The episode moves on to explore adaptations of Maurice Renard’s novel, Les Mains d’Orlac (1920), in which a pianist’s hands are damaged in an accident and replaced in an experimental procedure; but he’s convinced that his new hands belonged to a murderer and are possessing him to commit horrible acts. Beginning with Robert Wiene’s forerunner German expressionist film Orlacs Hände (1924), with Conrad Veidt, Renard’s loose plot thread moves through Maurice Tourneur’s similarly-themed, neglected La main du diable (1943) — a surreal, blackly comic work made during the Nazi occupation of France — to Karl Freund’s Mad Love (1935). Starring Peter Lorre as a crazed surgeon, the focus of this film is not on Orlac, the piano player, but on the demented Dr. Gogol, who is obsessed with Orlac’s wife, an actress in the Grand Guignol. Also discussed is Georges Franju’s groundbreaking Les yeux sans visage (1960), about a surgeon attempting to replace his daughter’s ruined face through nefarious means, and offshoots like Jess Franco’s Gritos en la noche aka The Awful Dr. Orloff (1962), as well as one of Michael Pataki’s few directorial efforts, Mansion of the Doomed (1976). The majestic Richard Basehart stars as a well-meaning but misguided doctor trying desperately to replace his daughter’s eyes.

Nude Reagan (Spurl Editions, 2016) is John Brian King’s second book of photography. His first book, LAX: Photographs of Los Angeles 1980-84, was published by Spurl Editions in 2015. For his most recent book, King photographed twenty-three nude female models with a Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 camera in an empty Palm Springs office space. Each model wore the same Ronald Reagan mask, striking any pose she liked. Deliberately unsettling, these photographs depict Reagan as a demon and specter haunting the modern world. Evoking the dead conservative president, the models wear the hideous dark-eyed mask anemic and wrinkled and morph into unerotic, freakish wraiths. The colors of the photographs accentuate these figures’ eerie qualities: the camera’s unpredictable flash turns the bland office backdrop alternately into a mold green, a muddy gray, a brilliant white, or a dense, all-encompassing black setting. The womens’ shadows are sometimes starkly present, and at other times disappear. King was influenced by such disparate sources as Conrad Veidt’s The Man Who Laughs; Reagan’s own frozen, Brylcreem-lathered countenance; artist Maurizio Cattelan’s sardonic approach to politics in art; and Ralph Eugene Meatyard’s Southern Gothic photographs of masked children. JOHN BRIAN KING is a Los Angeles native who graduated with a degree in photography from the California Institute of the Arts. He designed the film titles for over thirty films, including Boogie Nights, Punch-Drunk Love,and The Ring. He wrote and directed the feature film Redlands, an examination of creativity and horror in relation to photography. His book LAX: Photographs of Los Angeles 1980-84 was featured in the Los Angeles Times, Slate, Impose Magazine, LCeil de la Photographie, Yet Magazine, It’s Nice That, AnOther Magazine, and more.

Ein Stummfilm aus dem Jahre 1919: Anders als die Andern. Ein sozialhygienisches Filmwerk. Richard Oswald führte die Regie bei einem der frühsten Filme, der Homosexualität thematisiert. Genau genommen geht es um den Paragraphen 175 des Strafgesetzbuch, der die gleichgeschlechtliche Liebe unter Strafe gestellt hat - und in abgewandelter Form bis 1994 existierte. In der Hauptrolle agiert Conrad Veidt, welcher einigen durch seine Auftritte z. B. in "Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari" oder auch in "Casablanca" bekannt sein dürfte.

When we think about the classic monster movie actors, we think about names like Karloff, Lugosi, Chaney, etc. In this episode of Monster Kid Radio, Greg Starrett (the co-author of Fit for a Frankenstein) is going to help us add the name Conrad Veidt to that list. Derek welcomes Greg to the show, and before they dive into a conversation about The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (dir.

Of all the podcasts in all the world, 1942's Casablanca had to be talked about on this episode of Zach on Film. Casablanca is a 1942 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz and based on Murray Burnett and Joan Alison's un-produced stage play Everybody Comes to Rick's. The film stars Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid; and features Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Dooley Wilson. Set during World War II, it focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, "love and virtue". He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her Czech Resistance leader husband escape the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis. Story editor Irene Diamond convinced producer Hal Wallis to purchase the film rights to the play in January 1942. Brothers Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein were initially assigned to write the script. However, despite studio resistance, they left after the attack on Pearl Harbor to work on Frank Capra's Why We Fight series. Howard Koch was assigned to the screenplay until the Epsteins returned. Casey Robinson assisted with three weeks of rewrites, but his work would later go uncredited. Wallis chose Curtiz to direct the film after his first choice, William Wyler, became unavailable. Filming began on May 25, 1942, and ended on August 3, and was shot entirely at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, with the exception of one sequence at Van Nuys Airport in Van Nuys. Although Casablanca was an A-list film with established stars and first-rate writers, no one involved with its production expected it to be anything out of the ordinary. It was just one of hundreds of pictures produced by Hollywood every year. Show your thanks to Major Spoilers for this episode by becoming a Major Spoilers VIP.
