POPULARITY
The conversation surrounding the Oscar-nominated songs from 1972 might start with the songs that were not nominated, instead of the five that made the cut. Two original songs from the hit movie Cabaret, which remains one of the oddities of Academy Award history, especially knowing how loved the movie itself was by the Academy. Host Jeff Commings gives a history of the five nominated songs, including a love song for a killer rat and a love song in the midst of immense tragedy.

With the release of the fifth film in the ‘Scream' franchise this week, boasting a new score from Brian Tyler, Matthew Sweet foregrounds that whilst reflecting on the overall history and art of the film scream. The programme features music from Brian Tyler and Marco Beltrami and also cues from Jaws, Psycho, Invasion of The Body Snatchers, Distant Drums, King Kong, and others. Matthew looks at the story of the classic ‘Wilhelm Scream' and talks with actress Ashley Peldon - Hollywood scream doyenne - about how she produces the right scream for the right screen moment.
Listeners to this Seminole Wars podcast understand the rich scenic cinematic possibilities in telling the story of this long Florida-based conflict. The film makers in Hollywood did, too, back in the 1950s anyway. Distant Drums, Seminole, and Naked in the Sun are three films taking some aspect of the war and presenting a fanciful view with great liberties to tell a compelling narrative. Distant Drums is the first film to use the so-called 'Wilhelm Scream.' We've all heard it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdbYsoEasio (identified with the 3rd film to use the sound effect). Illustration of Wilhelm scream. The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect that has been used in a number of films and TV series, beginning in 1951 with the film Distant Drums. The scream is usually used when someone is shot, falls from a great height or is thrown from an explosion. The sound is named after Private Wilhelm, a character in The Charge at Feather River, a 1953 Western in which the character gets shot in the thigh with an arrow. The Wilhelm scream originates from a series of sound effects recorded for the 1951 movie Distant Drums. In a scene from the film, soldiers are wading through a swamp in the Everglades, and one of them is bitten and dragged underwater by an alligator. The screams for that scene, and other scenes in the movie, were recorded later in a single take. The recording was entitled: "Man getting bit by an alligator, and he screamed." The fifth take of the scream was used for the soldier in the alligator scene. The fifth take, which later became known as the iconic "Wilhelm scream," was probably voiced by actor Sheb Wooley (who played the uncredited role of Pvt. Jessup in Distant Drums). Yellowneck, a fourth film, in what we might dub a Seminole Swamp series of movies, focuses on Confederate deserters trudging through the Everglades and meeting hostile Seminoles as they pass through their reservation to the Florida coast. Seminole Medicine man and leader Josie Billie makes a cameo, portraying, who else, a Seminole. Two others, Seminole Uprising and War Arrow, portray the Seminoles in Oklahoma and Texas as antagonistic or supporting of the U.S. Army. But although they feature actors purportedly playing Seminoles, the plots of either film could have proceeded without trouble had any other American Tribe been selected. In this episode, autodidact and cinephile Jesse Marshall returns to give us the run down on the good, the bad, and the ugly of these films, with greatest focus on the three films actually set in the Seminole Wars. They featured journeymen actors but also some genuine box officer superstars – Gary Cooper, Rock Hudson, Anthony Quinn. None were great films but they all harbored some redeeming value. Jesse Marshall explains why and also why Hollywood hasn't made a Seminole Wars film in nearly three quarters of a century. Naked in the Sun is based on the Frank Slaughter novel, The Warrior. Also informing its story is the play, Florida Aflame. Hollywood has not treated the Dade march as a fully focused movie, despite its vast cinematic possibilities and its compelling human story. Although Naked in the Sun portrayed an aspect of Dade's march, it lasted all of about 5 minutes on the screen. Jesse Marshall suggests that Hollywood could do well by using Frank Laumer's 1968 account of the Dade Battle, Massacre!, because of its engaging narrative that reads more like a novel than a work of non-fiction history.

This exhibit is called Vietnam War: The Music. Our mission here at the Music Museum is to support all Vietnam Veterans and those who serve the United States, then and now. We thank you for your service. Early-on, in Vietnam, soldiers turned to music as a lifeline to the home front they promised to defend. Country music was a big part of a soldier’s down time that centered around the hooches and outposts of Vietnam. The music that was popular during the Vietnam War was, and is still, therapy. There are songs you can remember, and then there are songs you REALLY remember. Many of these songs will have a special meaning for you. A place, a brother, a time gone by. Our shows are broadcast around the world. They say thank you & “welcome home” to all Vietnam Vets. There is no opinion offered on the War. It’s all about the music. For your service and your sacrifice, this is Vietnam War: The Music.

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are working backwards through film history, using STAR WARS as the starting point! This week on EPISODE ZERO they explore Raoul Walsh's quasi-western DISTANT DRUMS, the film that introduced the Wilhelm Scream! It's one of the most popular and recognizable sound effects in motion picture history, but the film that originated the Wilhelm Scream is disturbingly entrenched in deeply offensive colonialist fiction! And sadly, that's a literary tradition that films like STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES have, directly and indirectly, been inspired by.

In this special Labor Day episode, we talk to LaDonna Brave Bull Allard, an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota, and one of the founders of the resistance camps where the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline (#NoDAPL) took place from the spring of 2016 to the winter of 2017. LaDonna is a Native historian who was thrust by history into the role of an activist—her work and bravery have brought hope and courage to people all around the globe. She’s an incredible human being and a masterful storyteller. We talk about LaDonna’s life, about the struggles of Native tribes, and about the ongoing, violent erasure of the lives and history of Native people in this country, on this continent, and around the world. We talk about the care and wisdom and protection LaDonna always got from her grandmother, and we talk about LaDonna’s memories of being torn away from her family and put in foster care as a child. We talk about how she was always made to feel different, an outsider on land that was stolen from her and her ancestors. And we talk about returning home to the Reservation, about learning how to live with the land, and about being a survivor.
