The following is a short piece from a speech Granny D delivered at the Buck Jackson Rodeo Arena in Pecos, Texas on May 14th, 1999:“Never be discouraged from being an activist because people tell you that you'll not succeed. You have already succeeded if you're out there representing truth or justice or compassion or fairness or love. You already have your victory because you are changing the world; you are changing the status quo; you are changing the chemistry of things. And changes will spread from you, will be easier to happen again in others because of you because, believe it or not you with your activism are the center of the world.”  CTA: Maybe like me you are coming to realize that activist work is not a job, but a calling to work together.

Perusing the books in the gift shop of the Island County Historical Society Museum in Coupeville, I came across “A History of Whidbey's Island” by George A. Kellogg. The author's name was immediately recognizable to me as the grandson of Dr. Joseph C. Kellogg, one of the original recipients of donation claims lands on the island in the early years of white settlement in the mid-19th century. George Kellogg was born on Whidbey Island at the close of that century, but only lived there for the first seven years of his life. His bio on the book's back cover describes him as a “teacher, salesman, musician, historian, advertising man, corporate leader, and storyteller.” Following a career in advertising and corporate management in Chicago and New York, he retired to yet another island — this one off the coast of Georgia — in 1959, but frequently visited friends and relatives in Coupeville. Kellogg's book was the culmination of research for a master's thesis in Northwest history (which he never completed), and much of the material was gleaned from a collection of weekly columns published in the Oak Harbor Farm Bureau News. In the book's foreword, Kellogg refers to his work of nearly 200 pages as “only an attempt to write an informal history of a pioneer community.” But what drew me to the book was the sense of intimacy in the telling of this history. It was clear that although you could take the boy out of Whidbey Island, the many years between Kellogg's birth on the island and his death in 1983 never succeeded in taking Whidbey Island out of the boy. This Tales of the Magic Skagit podcast episode is a reading of Chapter 1 of “A History of Whidbey's Island,” in which Kellogg recounts the finding of Deception Pass by the island's namesake, Joseph Whidbey, ship's master on Captain George Vancouver's vessel, Discovery. Over the course of the next year I plan to read other chapters from Kellogg's book, which was first published in 1934 by the Island County Historical Society and is currently in its fifth printing. Kellogg graciously granted the Society not only his permission to reprint his work, but to use the royalties to further its work. From my perspective, it's arguably the best $14.95 I've ever spent.

Inside this Episode with your host, Mitch Hampton  What is in one television show from the wayback machine of fifty years ago?  Particular as we are deluged with so much to watch today?  Well, you could say, a lot.  I guess you might also say that I have been a fan of The Rockford Files and its star James Garner for as long as I have been conscious I never thought that one television show would be inspiring and meaningful enough to have its own podcast and come to think of it I never knew there would be anything like a podcast.   One of the many things I appreciate about hosts Eppy ( Epidiah Ravachol) and Nathan's ( Nathan D. Paoletta ) show, "Two Hundred A Day, A Rockford Files Podcast" is that they essentially do a "close reading" of the show and as audiences of my podcast might know I hold that approach above practically everything.  They also represent two different generational takes on the show.  I very much enjoyed this episode.  It inaugurates the first time on our podcast we have had more than two people in a single episode I can only hope there are many more like this one in the future.  (Note: for those not in the know Rockfish was the name Rockford Files character Gandy Finch, as played by the great Isaac Hayes, called Rockford.) About the showTwo Hundred a Day is a podcast by Nathan D. Paoletta and Epidiah Ravachol.  We are exploring the intensely weird and interesting world of the 70s TV detective show The Rockford Files.  Both celebration and analysis, we break down episodes of the show and go deep into how they work as well-constructed narratives. In each episode of Two Hundred a Day, we watch an episode, recap and review it as fans of the show, and tease out specific elements that hold lessons for writers, gamers and anyone else interested in making better stories.

Discover the stunning natural beauty of Whidbey Island in this special RV destination episode. Located only an hour north of Seattle and an hour and a half south of the Canadian border, Whidbey Island is a must-visit RV location. The island spans 45 miles and features three state parks for camping. Explore the island's history, from being home to the Coastal Salish people for thousands of years to serving as a center for logging and farming in the 1850s. During World War II, Whidbey Island played a crucial role in the Pacific theater and is still a current naval air base in Oak Harbor. Today, the island is known for its natural beauty, small towns, and thriving arts community. The island breaks down into three main geographic locations: North Island, Mid Island, and South Island. Experience the tranquility of Deception Pass State Park, a marine and camping park with over 77,000 feet of shoreline, and don't miss the quaint town of Coupeville. With amazing restaurants, breweries, distilleries, vineyards, and hiking trails, there's something for everyone on Whidbey Island.

We know it today as the Penn Cove Water Festival, an annual event that brings canoe racers to Coupeville on beautiful Whidbey Island to celebrate an important cultural intersection between tribal and non-tribal communities: life on the waters of the Puget Sound and Salish Sea. The event began in 1930 as a bit of local hucksterism that was billed as the "Indian Water Carnival." In this Beaver Tales podcast episode, I talk with the executive director of the Island County Historical Museum in Coupeville about the event's evolution into so much more than a racing competition, and about how it was that two Coast Salish chiefs once donned war bonnets to call attention to the plight of their tribal communities. We also honor the memory of a native artist and teacher whose creations gave the Penn Cove Water Festival a graphic identity: Roger Purdue.

In Part 1 of "A Brief History of Whidbey Island," Rick Castellano, the executive director of the Island County Historical Society Museum in Coupeville, told us about his own history, and the journey that led him to his current vocation. In this concluding part of our series, we'll take a deeper dive into the history of Coupeville, starting with Rick's reference to a 2009 study by the National Park Service with the cumbersome title, "An Ethnohistory of Traditionally Associated Contemporary Populations," and how the museum in Coupeville tells that history through its numerous exhibits -- including some restored family canoes that Rick cites as among the gems of the museum's collection.

One of my goals for our Tales of the Magic Skagit podcast series is to do more interviews with people who make a career out of knowing the history of this marvelous place. I'm thinking in particular about museum directors and curators. One of the folks on my list has been Rick Castellano, the executive director of the Island County Historical Society Museum in Coupeville, Washington — situated on beautiful Penn Cove. I got to work on my goal on the last day of January 2023, when I sat down to an hour-long interview with Rick at the museum he has served for 17 years. In the first of a two-part series, I talk with Rick about his life as a native Washingtonian, the path that led him to Coupeville and the museum, and a brief history of Island County as he has come to know it through his work as the museum's executive director.

On this actual final episode of 2022, we take a look back at our favorite Christmas movie of the decade, Danny DeVito's 1989 film The War of the Roses. ----more---- TRANSCRIPT   Hello, and welcome to The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today.   Before we get started, yes, I said our previous episode, on Michael Jackson's Thriller, was going to be our last episode of 2022. When I wrote that, and when I said that, I meant it. But then, after publishing that episode, I got to thinking about Christmas, and some of my favorite Christmas movies, and it reminded me I have considering doing an episode about my favorite Christmas movie from the 1980s, and decided to make myself an unintentional liar by coming back one more time.   So, for the final time in 2022, this time for real, I present this new episode of The 80s Movie Podcast. This time, we'll be talking about Danny DeVito's best film as a director, The War of the Roses.   The genesis of War of the Roses was a novel by American author and playwright Warren Adler. After graduating from NYU with a degree in English literature, in a class that included Mario Puzo, the author of The Godfather, and William Styron, who won the 1968 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his novel The Confessions of Nat Turner, Adler paved an interesting road before becoming a novelist. He worked as a journalist at the New York Daily News, before becoming the editor of the Queens Post, an independent weekly newspaper devoted to all things happening in that New York City borough.    He would buy four radio stations and a television station in New York City, before opening his own advertising and public relations firm in Washington D.C.   Adler would create ads for politicians, businesses and communities all across the nation. In fact, it was Warren Adler who would create the name of the DC complex whose name is now synonymous with high crimes: Watergate. In 1974, he would sell the firm, and the stations, after the publication of his first novel, Undertow.   The War of the Roses would be Adler's seventh novel to be published in as many years, and the first of four to be published in 1981 alone. The novel follows Jonathan and Barbara Rose, who, initially, seem to be the perfect couple. He has a thriving career as a lawyer, she is an up-an-coming entrepreneur with an exceptional pâté recipe. Their extravagant home holds a collection of antiquities purchased over the years, and they enjoy their life with their children Evie and Josh. One day, Jonathan suffers what seems to be a heart attack, to which Barbara responds by asking for a divorce. Very quickly, their mutual love turns to a destructive hatred, especially after Jonathan, trying to save his marriage despite his wife's de facto declaration of lost love for her husband, decides to invoke an old state law that allows a husband to remain in his house while in the process of divorce.   The novel became an immediate sensation, but Hollywood had already come knocking on Mr. Adler's door seven months before the book's publication.   Richard D. Zanuck, the son of legendary Fox studio head Daryl Zanuck, and his producing partner David Brown, would purchase the movie rights to the book in September 1980 through their production deal at Fox. The producers, whose credits included The Sting and Jaws, would hire Adler to write the screenplay adaptation of his novel, but they seemingly would let the film rights lapse after two years.    James L. Brooks, the television writer and producer who created The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Taxi, was transitioning to movies, and purchased the movie rights to the book, which he would produce for Polly Platt, the former wife of filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich who had made a name for herself as an art director, costume designer, screenwriter and producer, including as the production designer and on-set sounding board for Brooks on Terms of Endearment.   At the time, Brooks was working at Paramount Pictures, but in 1986, he would end his association with that studio when Fox would offer Brooks the opportunity to create his own production company at the studio, Gracie Films. When the transfer of Brooks' properties from Paramount to Fox was being worked on, it was discovered that Brooks didn't actually own the movie rights to War of the Roses after all.    In fact, Arnon Milchan, an Israeli businessman who had been making a splash in the film industry financing movies like Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy, Ridley Scott's Legend and Terry Gilliam's Brazil, had actually purchased the movie rights to the novel before the Zanuck/Brown option seemingly lapsed, which would require Brooks to enter into a new round of negotiations to secure the rights once and for all. Milchan would sell them to Gracie Films for $300k and a producer credit on the final film.   Once the rights were finally and properly secured, Brooks would hire Michael Neeson, a writer Brooks had worked with on The Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda and Taxi, to write the screenplay. But instead of spending time getting ready to make her directorial debut, Platt instead took a job as the production designer on George Miller's adaptation of John Updike's The Witches of Eastwick. In fact, Miller was so keen on getting Platt involved in his production that he would consider shooting a good portion of the movie in Platt's hometown of Hingham, Massachusetts, although they would eventually spend most of the location shoot in nearby Colhasset, which had more of the historical buildings Miller wanted for the film.   Platt would finish her work on Witches before Brooks would begin shooting his Terms of Endearment follow-up, Broadcast News, on which Polly would serve as an executive producer, but her leaving Brooks for several months to work on someone else's film would begin a fracture between the two that would lead to Platt leaving Gracie Films in a few years.   But not before she helped with the creation of The Tracy Ullman Show, one of the earliest shows on the then-brand new Fox television network, which included a short animated segment each week about a quirky family in a town called Springfield.    The Simpsons.   While Platt was in New England working on Witches, James L. Brooks would visit an old friend, Danny DeVito, who was shooting his feature directing debut, Throw Momma From the Train. DeVito had known about The War of the Roses for years, and really wanted to make it as a director, but knowing how important the project was to Platt, he would defer his interest in the film.    In a July 2020 episode of Karina Longworth's excellent podcast You Must Remember This, Danny DeVito tells Longworth that he only became involved in the film when Brooks told him the project was not going to move forward with Polly Platt.    And sidebar, if you aren't familiar with Polly Platt or her importance to cinema and pop culture, I highly encourage you to listen to Ms. Longworth's entire season about Ms. Platt. Polly Platt was an amazing, complicated woman who deserves a better legacy. Just trust me on this. Please.   Okay, so now were at the end of 1986. Polly Platt was out as the director of The War of the Roses, even if she didn't know she was out at the time.   So what could DeVito bring to the project that Platt could not?   DeVito had just finished his first feature film as a director. And while Momma wasn't a big hit when it was released in December 1987, it was successful enough at the box office, and the film would garner an unlikely Oscar nomination for Anne Ramsay, the actress who played the film's diminutive title character. But more importantly, DeVito could bring in Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, his co-stars on Romancing the Stone and The Jewel of the Nile, to play the now Oliver and Barbara Rose. The three actors had had spent years looking for another project unrelated to that other series they could make together. Douglas would sign on to the project before his amazing fall and winter 1987 run, first as the star of the mega-hit Fatal Attraction, and then as the star of Wall Street, which would garner him an Academy Award for Best Actor.   Turner had been taking some time off from acting after finishing Peggy Sue Got Married in July 1985, and was pregnant with her daughter Rachel when DeVito approached her about The War of the Roses. Turner was already working on a comedy called Switching Channels, which had to finish shooting by early July 1987, as Turner's pregnancy would be rather visible if shooting lasted any longer. She had also committed to being a featured actor in Body Heat director Lawrence Kasdan's The Accidental Tourist, which would also re-team Turner with William Hurt.    But she would agree to star in The War of the Roses if they could give her some time being a new mom before shooting began.   DeVito and Leeson would continue to work on the script. As there was no character in the novel that would work for the compact actor/director, the two would create a framing device for the story. DeVito would play Gavin D'Amato, a divorce lawyer who was friends with Oliver Rose, who tells the story of Oliver and Barbara Rose to a potential client, played by Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson, as a way of trying to get his client to reconsider splitting with his wife. The character of Gavin D'Amato would take the place of Murray Goldstein in the novel, an overweight former rabbi who would only meet Oliver Rose during the course of the story.   Sean Astin, who had made a splash a few years earlier as the lead in The Goonies, would be cast as the Rose's teenage son Josh, while newcomer Heather Fairfield would get her first major movie role playing the Roses' daughter Evie, who would be renamed Carolyn for the movie.   The other major change DeVito and Leeson would make to the story would be to change the Roses' sitter from a teenager to a fortysomething woman, as they would be able to get German actress Marianne Sägebrecht, who had just found international stardom as the star of Percy Adlon's surprise global hit Baghdad Cafe, to come aboard.   Although the $26m film took place on the East Coast, the scenes not shot on the sound stages at Fox Studios in Los Angeles were filmed in Coupeville, WA, a small town on Whidbey Island, about forty miles north of Seattle, which had never been used as a filming location before.   Filming would begin on Stage 6 on the Fox lot, which was set up as the main living area for the Roses' house, on March 21st, 1989. The production would shoot as much of the film on the soundstages until April 7th, which was the first day they would be allowed to shoot in Coupeville. The evening of April 6th, though, would be spent on the backlot of Universal Studios, which was the only available space in Los Angeles at the time to accommodate shooting a massive, snowy Christmas Eve scene standing in for Cambridge, MA.   Two days after arriving in Coupeville, DeVito would discover a note on his rental car parked at the hotel where the production had its base, stating that thieves had stolen the dailies from the first day of location shooting, and demanded a ransom to have the footage returned. But DeVito was quickly able to find the dailies had not been stolen, and just laughed the note off as a prank.   After several weeks in Washington State, the production would return to Los Angeles to finish the remainder of the set shooting on the Fox Lot, as well as a few additional shots of homes in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hancock Park, standing in suburban Washington D.C. Shooting would finish on July 25th, which would give DeVito and his team less than four and a half months to get the film ready for its planned December 8th release date.   Because the editing team lead by Lynne Klingman had been putting together an assembly cut for DeVito during production, the director was able to screen his first cut of the film for Fox executives in mid-August. That cut would run three hours and four minutes. But that's what an assembly cut is for. You get to see all the stuff you shot put together, and see what you need to whittle down, what you need to move around, and what you need to get rid of completely.   Over the course of the next few months, DeVito and the editors would get the movie down to a tight one hour and fifty six minutes. And unlike many movies then and now, there were very few scenes that needed to be reshot or added in. One shot that would be added after the audiences at several test screenings was horrified at the suggestion that Barbara's pâté may have been made with the family dog. DeVito would later state that he always meant to have a shot of the dog later in the movie, but it was definitely a late addition after the first few test screenings.   The War of the Roses would hold its world premiere at Century Plaza Cinemas in Century City, about a mile from the Fox lot, on December 4th, 1989. It would be a star-studded affair that included DeVito, Turner, and Douglas, who brought his father Kirk along with him, along with Courtney Cox, Olivia Newton-John, Kelly Preston, Mimi Rogers, Christian Slater and Samantha Morton, Oliver Stone, and Jennifer Tilly, followed by a New York City premiere two days later at the Gotham Theatre. The film would open in 1259 theatres on Friday, December 8th, and would be the highest grossing film in the nation, taking in $9.5m, knocking the previous week's #1 film, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, out of the top spot. It would fall to second place in its second week, as Christmas Vacation retook first place, and it would fall to third place during the long Christmas weekend. However, in its fourth week of release, the long New Years weekend, The War of the Roses would retake the top spot for the second and final time. At the end of the year, after 25 days of release, the film had grossed $43.85m, or the equivalent of $105m in 2022 dollars. The film would continue to stay strong for several more weeks, staying in the top ten until mid-February, before ending its run in theatres in the spring with $86.89m.   The reviews were pretty good, with particular praise heaped upon Douglas and Turner's performances as well as DeVito's direction. But, sadly, there would be little awards love for the film.   The Golden Globes would nominate the film for Best Comedy, and both Turner and Douglas for lead comedy performances, and the British Academy would nominate Michael Leeson for his screenplay, but would be completely shut out at the Academy Awards.   I love the movie. It was one of the first movies I bought on Laserdisc back in the early 1990s, and when I call it a box set, I mean it was actually two discs and a four page booklet about the movie not in an album-like slipcover but an actual box. The movie was on the first disc, with roughly an hour on each side, which included a separate audio track for DeVito's commentary and a personal introduction to the film by DeVito, while the second disc featured deleted scenes, theatrical trailers, a copy of the shooting script, production stills, and a gallery of the theatrical posters. For a guy who had spent years building an enviable VHS videotape collection, this was next level stuff most people wouldn't get to experience for nearly another decade.   More than thirty years after Warren Adler published The War of the Roses, he would release a sequel to his novel, entitled The Children of the Roses. Josh and Evie are now adults. Josh is married with two children himself, a boy and a girl, Michael and Emily. Much like his parents' marriage, Josh's marriage to Victoria seems to be picture perfect on the outside, but after their son gets caught up in a caper at his elite private school involving stolen Milky Way bars, Josh finds himself in his own War of the Roses.   Evie, who still copes with her depression by eating, comforts her niece and nephew with loads of food, since to Evie still, food is love, while Michael and Emily decide for themselves that their parents will stay together no matter what.   While the book was not a best seller like the first book, it would still sell quite well, as did almost every one of the other 43 books Adler would write and publish until his passing in 2019 at the age of 91.   Thank you for joining us for this year's Christmas episode of The 80s Movie Podcast. We'll talk again in early 2023, when Episode 98, about Neil Diamond's sole attempt at movie acting, The Jazz Singer, is released.   Remember to visit this episode's page on our website, The80sMoviePodcast.com, for extra materials about The War of the Roses.   The 80s Movies Podcast has been researched, written, narrated and edited by Edward Havens for Idiosyncratic Entertainment.   Thank you again.   Good night.

Very quickly, their mutual love turns to a destructive hatred, especially after Jonathan, trying to save his marriage despite his wife's de facto declaration of lost love for her husband, decides to invoke an old state law that allows a husband to remain in his house while in the process of divorce.   The novel became an immediate sensation, but Hollywood had already come knocking on Mr. Adler's door seven months before the book's publication.   Richard D. Zanuck, the son of legendary Fox studio head Daryl Zanuck, and his producing partner David Brown, would purchase the movie rights to the book in September 1980 through their production deal at Fox. The producers, whose credits included The Sting and Jaws, would hire Adler to write the screenplay adaptation of his novel, but they seemingly would let the film rights lapse after two years.    James L. Brooks, the television writer and producer who created The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Taxi, was transitioning to movies, and purchased the movie rights to the book, which he would produce for Polly Platt, the former wife of filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich who had made a name for herself as an art director, costume designer, screenwriter and producer, including as the production designer and on-set sounding board for Brooks on Terms of Endearment.   At the time, Brooks was working at Paramount Pictures, but in 1986, he would end his association with that studio when Fox would offer Brooks the opportunity to create his own production company at the studio, Gracie Films. When the transfer of Brooks' properties from Paramount to Fox was being worked on, it was discovered that Brooks didn't actually own the movie rights to War of the Roses after all.    In fact, Arnon Milchan, an Israeli businessman who had been making a splash in the film industry financing movies like Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy, Ridley Scott's Legend and Terry Gilliam's Brazil, had actually purchased the movie rights to the novel before the Zanuck/Brown option seemingly lapsed, which would require Brooks to enter into a new round of negotiations to secure the rights once and for all. Milchan would sell them to Gracie Films for $300k and a producer credit on the final film.   Once the rights were finally and properly secured, Brooks would hire Michael Neeson, a writer Brooks had worked with on The Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda and Taxi, to write the screenplay. But instead of spending time getting ready to make her directorial debut, Platt instead took a job as the production designer on George Miller's adaptation of John Updike's The Witches of Eastwick. In fact, Miller was so keen on getting Platt involved in his production that he would consider shooting a good portion of the movie in Platt's hometown of Hingham, Massachusetts, although they would eventually spend most of the location shoot in nearby Colhasset, which had more of the historical buildings Miller wanted for the film.   Platt would finish her work on Witches before Brooks would begin shooting his Terms of Endearment follow-up, Broadcast News, on which Polly would serve as an executive producer, but her leaving Brooks for several months to work on someone else's film would begin a fracture between the two that would lead to Platt leaving Gracie Films in a few years.   But not before she helped with the creation of The Tracy Ullman Show, one of the earliest shows on the then-brand new Fox television network, which included a short animated segment each week about a quirky family in a town called Springfield.    The Simpsons.   While Platt was in New England working on Witches, James L. Brooks would visit an old friend, Danny DeVito, who was shooting his feature directing debut, Throw Momma From the Train. DeVito had known about The War of the Roses for years, and really wanted to make it as a director, but knowing how important the project was to Platt, he would defer his interest in the film.    In a July 2020 episode of Karina Longworth's excellent podcast You Must Remember This, Danny DeVito tells Longworth that he only became involved in the film when Brooks told him the project was not going to move forward with Polly Platt.    And sidebar, if you aren't familiar with Polly Platt or her importance to cinema and pop culture, I highly encourage you to listen to Ms. Longworth's entire season about Ms. Platt. Polly Platt was an amazing, complicated woman who deserves a better legacy. Just trust me on this. Please.   Okay, so now were at the end of 1986. Polly Platt was out as the director of The War of the Roses, even if she didn't know she was out at the time.   So what could DeVito bring to the project that Platt could not?   DeVito had just finished his first feature film as a director. And while Momma wasn't a big hit when it was released in December 1987, it was successful enough at the box office, and the film would garner an unlikely Oscar nomination for Anne Ramsay, the actress who played the film's diminutive title character. But more importantly, DeVito could bring in Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, his co-stars on Romancing the Stone and The Jewel of the Nile, to play the now Oliver and Barbara Rose. The three actors had had spent years looking for another project unrelated to that other series they could make together. Douglas would sign on to the project before his amazing fall and winter 1987 run, first as the star of the mega-hit Fatal Attraction, and then as the star of Wall Street, which would garner him an Academy Award for Best Actor.   Turner had been taking some time off from acting after finishing Peggy Sue Got Married in July 1985, and was pregnant with her daughter Rachel when DeVito approached her about The War of the Roses. Turner was already working on a comedy called Switching Channels, which had to finish shooting by early July 1987, as Turner's pregnancy would be rather visible if shooting lasted any longer. She had also committed to being a featured actor in Body Heat director Lawrence Kasdan's The Accidental Tourist, which would also re-team Turner with William Hurt.    But she would agree to star in The War of the Roses if they could give her some time being a new mom before shooting began.   DeVito and Leeson would continue to work on the script. As there was no character in the novel that would work for the compact actor/director, the two would create a framing device for the story. DeVito would play Gavin D'Amato, a divorce lawyer who was friends with Oliver Rose, who tells the story of Oliver and Barbara Rose to a potential client, played by Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson, as a way of trying to get his client to reconsider splitting with his wife. The character of Gavin D'Amato would take the place of Murray Goldstein in the novel, an overweight former rabbi who would only meet Oliver Rose during the course of the story.   Sean Astin, who had made a splash a few years earlier as the lead in The Goonies, would be cast as the Rose's teenage son Josh, while newcomer Heather Fairfield would get her first major movie role playing the Roses' daughter Evie, who would be renamed Carolyn for the movie.   The other major change DeVito and Leeson would make to the story would be to change the Roses' sitter from a teenager to a fortysomething woman, as they would be able to get German actress Marianne Sägebrecht, who had just found international stardom as the star of Percy Adlon's surprise global hit Baghdad Cafe, to come aboard.   Although the $26m film took place on the East Coast, the scenes not shot on the sound stages at Fox Studios in Los Angeles were filmed in Coupeville, WA, a small town on Whidbey Island, about forty miles north of Seattle, which had never been used as a filming location before.   Filming would begin on Stage 6 on the Fox lot, which was set up as the main living area for the Roses' house, on March 21st, 1989. The production would shoot as much of the film on the soundstages until April 7th, which was the first day they would be allowed to shoot in Coupeville. The evening of April 6th, though, would be spent on the backlot of Universal Studios, which was the only available space in Los Angeles at the time to accommodate shooting a massive, snowy Christmas Eve scene standing in for Cambridge, MA.   Two days after arriving in Coupeville, DeVito would discover a note on his rental car parked at the hotel where the production had its base, stating that thieves had stolen the dailies from the first day of location shooting, and demanded a ransom to have the footage returned. But DeVito was quickly able to find the dailies had not been stolen, and just laughed the note off as a prank.   After several weeks in Washington State, the production would return to Los Angeles to finish the remainder of the set shooting on the Fox Lot, as well as a few additional shots of homes in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hancock Park, standing in suburban Washington D.C. Shooting would finish on July 25th, which would give DeVito and his team less than four and a half months to get the film ready for its planned December 8th release date.   Because the editing team lead by Lynne Klingman had been putting together an assembly cut for DeVito during production, the director was able to screen his first cut of the film for Fox executives in mid-August. That cut would run three hours and four minutes. But that's what an assembly cut is for. You get to see all the stuff you shot put together, and see what you need to whittle down, what you need to move around, and what you need to get rid of completely.   Over the course of the next few months, DeVito and the editors would get the movie down to a tight one hour and fifty six minutes. And unlike many movies then and now, there were very few scenes that needed to be reshot or added in. One shot that would be added after the audiences at several test screenings was horrified at the suggestion that Barbara's pâté may have been made with the family dog. DeVito would later state that he always meant to have a shot of the dog later in the movie, but it was definitely a late addition after the first few test screenings.   The War of the Roses would hold its world premiere at Century Plaza Cinemas in Century City, about a mile from the Fox lot, on December 4th, 1989. It would be a star-studded affair that included DeVito, Turner, and Douglas, who brought his father Kirk along with him, along with Courtney Cox, Olivia Newton-John, Kelly Preston, Mimi Rogers, Christian Slater and Samantha Morton, Oliver Stone, and Jennifer Tilly, followed by a New York City premiere two days later at the Gotham Theatre. The film would open in 1259 theatres on Friday, December 8th, and would be the highest grossing film in the nation, taking in $9.5m, knocking the previous week's #1 film, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, out of the top spot. It would fall to second place in its second week, as Christmas Vacation retook first place, and it would fall to third place during the long Christmas weekend. However, in its fourth week of release, the long New Years weekend, The War of the Roses would retake the top spot for the second and final time. At the end of the year, after 25 days of release, the film had grossed $43.85m, or the equivalent of $105m in 2022 dollars. The film would continue to stay strong for several more weeks, staying in the top ten until mid-February, before ending its run in theatres in the spring with $86.89m.   The reviews were pretty good, with particular praise heaped upon Douglas and Turner's performances as well as DeVito's direction. But, sadly, there would be little awards love for the film.   The Golden Globes would nominate the film for Best Comedy, and both Turner and Douglas for lead comedy performances, and the British Academy would nominate Michael Leeson for his screenplay, but would be completely shut out at the Academy Awards.   I love the movie. It was one of the first movies I bought on Laserdisc back in the early 1990s, and when I call it a box set, I mean it was actually two discs and a four page booklet about the movie not in an album-like slipcover but an actual box. The movie was on the first disc, with roughly an hour on each side, which included a separate audio track for DeVito's commentary and a personal introduction to the film by DeVito, while the second disc featured deleted scenes, theatrical trailers, a copy of the shooting script, production stills, and a gallery of the theatrical posters. For a guy who had spent years building an enviable VHS videotape collection, this was next level stuff most people wouldn't get to experience for nearly another decade.   More than thirty years after Warren Adler published The War of the Roses, he would release a sequel to his novel, entitled The Children of the Roses. Josh and Evie are now adults. Josh is married with two children himself, a boy and a girl, Michael and Emily. Much like his parents' marriage, Josh's marriage to Victoria seems to be picture perfect on the outside, but after their son gets caught up in a caper at his elite private school involving stolen Milky Way bars, Josh finds himself in his own War of the Roses.   Evie, who still copes with her depression by eating, comforts her niece and nephew with loads of food, since to Evie still, food is love, while Michael and Emily decide for themselves that their parents will stay together no matter what.   While the book was not a best seller like the first book, it would still sell quite well, as did almost every one of the other 43 books Adler would write and publish until his passing in 2019 at the age of 91.   Thank you for joining us for this year's Christmas episode of The 80s Movie Podcast.

Highlights From Today's Episode “Really look at where our own losses have happened in life, whether that's mapping out people who have passed on that we've cared for and loved that have had a lot of meaning to us, what kind of changes or transitions that have happened in our own lives. . . . There's a lot of loss that happens on a day-to-day basis, and so think about who we are and the accumulation of our own personal losses, because I think sometimes where it gets triggered in that secondary trauma is when we see ourselves in other people's situations.” Timestamp 09:48 “How good or challenged are you with boundaries? There's always going to be patients and situations that are going to tug at your heart, and that doesn't make you bad with boundaries. But if you're going home and always taking it all in and can't separate your work life from your personal life, then there's a place to start thinking about that as far as that assessment. Is there something I can do for myself to make this not so difficult? Because that of course leads to burnout and compassion fatigue.” TS 13:06 “I think the culture in our workplace can sometimes really impact our ability to be authentic and respond to our own personal grief.” TS 17:48 “Create a place and a space to debrief patients that we have lost. A place where we can remember and acknowledge, and not only acknowledge the names of the names . . . really reflect on those gifts and the learnings from the patients and families that you care for.” TS 18:48 “Acknowledge that grief is a reoccurring theme. This isn't something that's a one and done. This is a process that you're going to continue to revisit, and in recognizing that, I think this allows us to be more proactive and responsive to this emotional part of our job. I so recommend that you put a self-care plan in place ahead of time and be thinking about that.” TS 41:57 “We also need that card like from a game that says, ‘Call a friend.' If you are feeling overwhelmed, I really encourage you to identify who is going to be that call a friend name? Who is it that you can find as a partner or mentor that you can urgently debrief if something really tragic happened during your day? Maybe it's not your family or partner, and maybe it is. But sometimes I think that nurses' pain—we hold it and can share it with each other better. Because again, just like the families in their grief process, the telling of the story is important. It's important that we can tell it, and then it's also important that we can hear other people's stories and hold those in that container in that sacred space as well. So, find that ‘call a friend.'” TS 45:49

To stay or to move? That is the unfortunate dilemma that so many residents in Coupeville, Washington, face as a result of nearby Navy activity and its impact on mental and physical health, children's well-being, clean water, and more. In this episode we're going to hear from two local residents - Maryon Attwood (she/her) and Julieanna Purdue (she/her), and how one decided to leave and the other decided to stay. This is no easy decision, and you'll hear from both women about how they have been impacted by the jets, the challenges they've faced as small business owners, and the changes they hope to see in the Growler jet program. Maryon will also share about her experience moving and how her life has changed since.   Resources: Learn more about the Growler jets and how to take action at: www.SoundDefenseAlliance.org Citizens of Ebey's Reserve (COER)   Glossary Terms: Environmental Impact Statement - A government document that outlines the impact of a proposed project on its surrounding environment.

Do you have 13 friends you could gather for a cross-country road trip from Seattle to New York and back? Not to give things away, but you'd have to make that trip in 14 Priuses in order to produce the amount of CO2 that one Growler jet produces in a single hour of flight. Not only that, but the firefighting foam used during military training  contains dangerous chemicals that have contaminated local water supplies. In this episode, climate consultant Chris Greacen (he/him) and environmental advocate and consultant Rick Abraham (he/him) tell us how the Navy is polluting the skies and the water of Whidbey Island and beyond. Listen to hear not just how these jets are contributing to massive climate impacts and contamination, but also how the Navy isn't sharing the full extent of the damage.   Resources: Learn more about the Growler jets and how to take action at: www.SoundDefenseAlliance.org Citizens of Ebey's Reserve (COER) Quiet Skies Over San Juan County Terra.Do Climate Change Course My Climate Journey Podcast The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Whidbey Environmental Action Network The EPA's updated guidance on PFAS   Glossary Terms: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) - A government document that outlines the impact of a proposed project on its surrounding environment.

The noise emitted by Growler jets has profound impacts on human health and all of the ways that they damage health aren't even known yet. They are a population health crisis. In this episode, community-oriented public health leader and advocate Chris Hurley (she/her) and Associate Professor of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences Dr. Edmund Seto (he/him) share the numerous effects of the jets on our health, especially on our hearts. There's a lot more to learn about the impact of the jet, and our guests talk about important studies being conducted to discover the widespread effects on communities in Northwest Washington. Understanding these effects is crucial to protecting our health and further presenting Growler jet noise as an issue that must be remedied.   Resources: Citizens of Ebey's Reserve (COER) University of Washington Public Health Study Division Quiet Skies Over San Juan County The Growler Health Impact Project - The Population Health Initiative Study If you are interested in learning more about the study or getting involved, you can contact Dr.Edmund Seto at eseto@uw.edu   Glossary Terms: Outlying Field (OLF) - A military airport owned and operated by the United States Navy located two miles southeast of Coupeville, Washington, on Whidbey Island.

Hello to you listening in Belle Rose, Louisiana!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Moving from one home to another often means leaving behind some of what you owned as well as figuring out what to do with what you brought once you arrived.When I washed up on Whidbey Island I realized that some art work I brought with me was looking tired. Time for an upgrade! I found a small shop in Coupeville and piece by piece the owner and I experimented with new frames until we were satisfied. I left the shop somewhat skeptical that I'd made the right choices; but it was out of my hands. When I returned a few weeks later to see the work I knew that the re-frames were just what the photos and prints needed.Likewise, when we feel uncertain, negative, anxious, unsure of the next direction all we may need is a re-frame.Practical Tip: Re-frame ‘Impossible' to ‘I'm Possible!' The space in-between I'm and Possible is not merely a space but a zone of infinite possibilities!  Why not give it a go! You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

Decades before the current chicanery that passes for politics Ivins said, "Polarizing people is a good way to win an election and a good way to wreck a country."Here's something else Molly Ivins said: “It is the stories we don't get, the ones we miss, pass over, fail to recognize, don't pick up on, that will send us to hell.” [line in the novel It's a Wonderful Woof, the Chet & Bernie Mystery Series books written by Spencer Quin pen name for Peter Abrahams who, like Ivins wrote for the NYTimes].Which stories are those? The ones that don't get told or heard. Here's the thing: either you tell your own story in your own words and voice or one will be told for you.

Fitz’ dog Suzie Lou took him on an epic potty journey this morning – did she want to spend more time with Daddy or was she running away? In the What Are You Kidding Me stories, the internet debates whether a woman can wear a sexy red dress to someone’s wedding, a man whose roommate changed the radio station while he was showering attacks him with a machete, salad bars will be replaced by salad robots, an airline is selling a simulated travel experience where you can go through security, load on the plane, and taxi around the airport, some salons are now offering butt-facials, and a woman is arrested for stabbing a man for dropping her dog. In the Good Stuff, Claire and Drew presented the check from the “United Steaks of America” T-shirts sales from “Red White and Bull” to Food Lifeline. In The Fitz Files, Carly Pearce spills the tea (sorta) about her split from Michael Ray, details on the Blake Drive-in shows, and Billie Eilish had Bieber Fever so bad when she was 10 her mom thought she might need therapy. On Make Up or Break Up, Eve from Federal Way feels disrespected by her boyfriend Derek because he is late to everything including child care; he says they are isolated incidents and she’s making a huge deal out of nothing. The band Lady A is suing Seattle singer Lady A because she is asking them for $10 million to stop complaining about them infringing on her name, so now they want a judge to enforce their trademark on the name. Fitz is offended Claire throws “OK Boomer” at him, implying he is a Boomer just because he has many kids, so we debate what it really means to be a Boomer. Playlist Profiling is Trashman Mike from Coupeville. Shade is Throwin’ Shade on all the fancy designer masks everyone is wearing.

We Need Your Help with Insta-Therapy where “Joanne” from Bremerton has an awesome babysitter who is flirting with her husband. Monday Motivation has some nice quotes to get your week started off on the right path.

Fitz and Drew had an incredible weekend in Nashville as Garth Brooks came to honor Bob Kingsley and hand the reins of CT 40 to Fitz. In the What Are You Kidding Me stories, a woman called 911 saying she’d been shot when she had a bug bite, a woman stabbed her boyfriend who is also her cousin, a guy celebrated sobriety by getting drunk and stealing a motorcycle and a family says a wall is picking up Christian Radio. In the Hourly Bulletin, a Renton man was critically injured after a tree fell on his apartment, three North Sound convenience stores were robbed over three days, a man is in custody after a standoff in Edmonds, Olympia is considering banning pet sales at pet shops, a hiker crawls 10 hours with a broken leg to call for help and two more cars have crashed into buildings.

In the Fitz Files, Russell Wilson got advice to NOT listen to country music, the “Friends” reunion is finally official, and Justin Bieber tries to countrify “Yummy” with FGL. In the Good Stuff, Drew sat next to a woman bringing a lost cat from Nashville to its owner in Seattle and a woman delivered her own baby and later pulled a guy from a fiery wreck. In City vs. Country, Robert from Tacoma met up with Country Girl Whitney but it didn’t go well. Crime in Coupeville has a stolen coin machine and some unauthorized photography.

Recent research in the emerging field of Epigenomics strongly supports the probabilities of therapeutic transgenerational herbalism. Epigenomics is developing in response to research showing very convincingly that many cancers are initiated and controlled by transmissible extrachromosomal mechanisms.

Hydrosols, also known as floral waters, are an age-old way of working with the very essence of a plant in medicine. The use of hydrosols as medicines dates back over 5000 years. Traditionally, each home had a still where plant distillates for medicine were made.  Over time hydrosols fell out of favor as essential oils increased in popularity.  However, these days the aromatic virtues of hydrosols are being rediscovered. In this class, we will go over the uses of plant distillates in the home, in medicine, in cooking, aromatherapy, cosmetics and in work with the soul. This class was recorded at the 2017 NorthWest Herb Symposium.

We reach for what is familiar! That which we use daily -those very habits which we see our family repeating daily, is what we will likely repeat as adults; routines which we likely will pass along to our next generation. It is essential to remember the importance of clean soil, clean air and the accessibility of healing plants, both as our foods and as our medicines. This book is a small tool for the remembering of the value of our plants and how to apply herbs as medicines for common first aid. Contained inside are herbal medicine recipes for common health issues and non toxic, chemical free body care as well as instructions for preparing your own herbal medicines at home." - Katolen Yardley For herbalism events, schools, education and more please visit HerbRally.com.
