MATCHES, MATCHES, WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING MATCHES: Join me and filmmaker Elizabeth Blake-Thomas as we talk Amy Heckerling's classic Clueless and George Cukor's hidden gem, The Model and the Marriage Broker.   “As if”. Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match. Find me a find, catch me a catch…Sounds like it's time for Episode 107 of Pop Art, the podcast where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture. It's the podcast where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture, and I'll select a film from the more art/classic/indie side of cinema with a connection to it. For this episode, I am happy to welcome as my guest, director, writer, producer and actor Elizabeth Blake-Thomas, who has chosen as her film Clueless, while I have chosen The Model and the Marriage Broker, both films about matchmakers who may or may not be that good at their job.       And in this episode, we answer such questions as: What was Paul Rudd's film debut? Why do we play matchmaker? What is it about these adaptations of classics of literature placed in high school? Why did Fox's head Daryl F. Zanuck not push Model… preventing it from becoming more successful than it was? What did film execs at Warners want changed in the roles at first that put Clueless into turnaround? Who is the lead in The Model… and what is their billing? How much was the costume budget on Clueless? What TV star debuted in The Model…? Where does Amy Heckerling appear?     Check out Blake-Thomas's IMDB page at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6230910/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_8_q_elizabeth%2520blake-thomas     And be on the lookout for Shadrach and Karma's a Bitch.     Check out my blog at https://howardcasner.wordpress.com/   My books, More Rantings and Ravings of a Screenplay Reader, The Starving Artists and Other Stories and The Five Corporations and One True Religion can be found at https://www.amazon.com/s?k=howard+casner&ref=nb_sb_noss   Be sure to like, follow or comment on my podcast.

It's Mia's 5th pick: The Grapes of Wrath, the 1940 film directed by John Ford. The film is based on John Steinbeck's Pulitzer-prize winning novel, which was also the best-selling novel of that year and was cited as a major part of the basis on which Steinbeck was awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962. The politics and story of the book were potentially thorny enough that Daryl F. Zanuck, the famed producer at 20th Century Fox, sent investigators to witness just how bad the situation in Oklahoma actually was so he'd know whether he'd feel equipped to defend the film against any criticism for being potentially pro-Communist. That said, the aforementioned politics and story were still softened somewhat as compared to the book. Ford was coming off a banner year, having directed 3 films in 1939: Stagecoach, Young Mr. Lincoln, and Drums Along the Mohawk – the latter two both with Henry Fonda, who himself had additionally been in 3 other movies in 1939. The film received plenty of rave reviews and accolades including this incredibly laudatory one from Frank Nugent for the New York Times: In the vast library where the celluloid literature of the screen is stored there is one small, uncrowded shelf devoted to the cinema's masterworks, to those films which by dignity of theme and excellence of treatment seem to be of enduring artistry, seem destined to be recalled not merely at the end of their particular year but whenever great motion pictures are mentioned. To that shelf of screen classics Twentieth Century-Fox yesterday added its version of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath… John Ford won a Best Director Oscar for the film, while Jane Darwell won Best Supporting Actress. It was also nominated for Outstanding Production (or what is today called Best Picture), Best Actor (Henry Fonda), Best Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Sound Recording. In more recent years, The Grapes of Wrath was on AFI's 100 Years… 100 Movies list, ranked at #21 in 1998 and then at #23 in 2007. As for our purposes, the movie has never actually appeared in the top 10 of Sight & Sound's critics or directors surveys, but it was a runner up on the very first list back in 1952. In the 2012 polling, it was ranked #183 by critics and #174 by directors – and among the filmmakers who had it on their top 10 lists that year was Lawrence Kasdan. Produced by Stereoactive Media

This film may be 75 years old, but the topic of antisemitism still resonates today.  Daryl F. Zanuck brought to the screen a story about a writer who goes undercover as a Jew to find out what it's like to live a life where you are hated for the reason of your religion.  Listen to Jack's take on this classic from 1947. Will it win his Rewatch Oscar? If not, what film does he think was the best of that year.  Tune in and find out.SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW Rewatching Oscar:Website: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comApple Podcasts/iTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsiHear RadioStitcherPodchaserPodcast AddictRSS Feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1815964.rssWebsite: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comSocial Media Links: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, InstagramShare your thoughts and suggestions with us through:Facebook Messanger or email us atjack@rewatchingoscar.comMusic by TurpacShow Producer: Jack FerdmanPodcast Logo Design: Jack FerdmanMovie (audio) trailer courtesy of MovieClips Classic TrailersSupport us by downloading, sharing, and giving us a 5 Star Rating.  It helps our podcast continue to reach many people and make it available to share more episodes with everyone.

The Great American Novel podcast is an ongoing discussion about the novels we hold up as significant achievements in our American literary culture.  Additionally, we sometimes suggest novels who should break into the sometimes problematical canon and at other times we'll suggest books which can be dropped from such lofty consideration.  Your hosts are Kirk Curnutt and Scott Yarbrough, professors with little time and less sense who nonetheless enjoy a good book banter.   In conversation with writer Gertrude Stein, a Parisian mechanic disparaged the young and dissolute men who'd survived the Great War by calling them lost; Stein later tells Ernest Hemingway,  “You are all a Lost Generation.”  And so this 10th episode is a consideration of the Hemingway novel which, alongside The Great Gatsby, defines the Lost Generation of the post-World War I era for all of us: the masterful The Sun Also Rises.  We dig deep into the Papa legend, warts and all, and give the book a thorough and thoughtful reflection, taking coffee and cognac in the cafes of Montparnasse and running with the bulls in Pamplona even as we try for a few trout in the streams above Roncevalles.  Instead of canon fodder this time we  take a moment to reflect on  two losses to American Literary studies which bookended the year 2021 for us.   The film audio clips are from The Sun Also Rises, directed in 1957 by Henry King and staring Tyrone Power and Ava Gardner, among others (including an irascible aging Errol Flynn as Mike Campbell), and produced by Daryl F. Zanuck for 20th Century Fox.  All show music is by Lobo Loco.  The intro song is “Old Ralley”; the intermission is “The First Minute,” and the outro is “Inspector Invisible.”  For more information visit: https://locolobomusic.com/.  

On this week's episode, Sonny talks to Scott Eyman about his new book, 20th Century Fox: Darryl F. Zanuck and the Creation of the Modern Film Studio. Zanuck's reign as a Hollywood mogul ran through nearly every major technological and business innovation Hollywood saw in the first half of the 20th century and beyond, and Mr. Eyman's book paints a compelling portrait of a producer as both businessman and artist. You can pick up a copy wherever books are sold (here's an Amazon link for ease's sake), and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

On this week's episode of What's in the Basket, we're falling in love with a corpse as we discuss Laura (1944). We marvel over the perfect storm of second-choice casting decisions that is the Dana Andrews/Gene Tierney/Clifton Webb trifecta, explore a very Real Housewivesian battle of egos between Otto Preminger and Daryl F. Zanuck, and break it down to the chill groove remix of film noir's most iconic theme song.Show Notes & Sources: https://whatsinthebasket.home.blog/2019/10/08/04-laura-1944-harry-highpants-the-tailor Theme Music by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io): "Dark Hallway (Distressed)" and "The Show Must Be Go"

Gene Tierney was so hot that she could make a frumpy rain hat look sexyRC-2013-112: The Film Noir Series — Laura (1944)Your browser does not support this audioOtto Preminger's Laura is beloved by many a noir aficionado, and I'm out to figure out why. (Could it have something to do with Gene Tierney being nuclear hot? Hells yeah.) I have fun with the movie, lamenting the fact that the opening titles sequence wasn't created by Saul Bass and declaring that Preminger's directorial style is "slick." Listeners might begin to suspect that there isn't an actor from the 30s and 40s that I don't adore as I swoon over the verbal acuity of Clifton Webb, the implacable demeanor of Dana Andrews, and the radioactive...uh, talent of Tierney. Along the way, I analyze the bizarro story story structure, discuss Daryl F. Zanuck's alleged homophobia, and examine the lapels on Vinny Price's double-breasted suits. Due to the Rank Speculation software I have running on my brain, I also speak about how Laura may have weighed heavy on the mind of David Lynch when he made Mulholland Dr. and how Preminger's picture also has similarities to Gilda, Vertigo, and a couple other classics the posters for which are hanging in my bathroom.Show NotesThe late Roger Ebert's "Great Movies" essay on the pictureSome insight into David Raskin's scoreClifton Webb's unofficial, posthumous web presence (!) Richard Shickel's review of that Preminger biography I mentionA tumblr dedicated to sexy-ass Gene TierneyListen to the mp3, or kick it iTunes style.
