Shakespeare ​famously ​wrote, ​what's ​in ​a ​name? ​ ​But ​let's ​say ​it ​out ​loud. ​ ​Jack ​ ​Lemmon. ​It ​says ​it ​all ​right ​there ​in ​the ​name. ​​Jack. Ordinary, ​​the ​guy ​across ​from ​you ​on ​the ​subway. Lemon. The ​one ​that ​got ​the ​broken ​car. ​ ​The ​bitter ​taste, ​yet ​the ​surprising ​brightly ​colored ​yellow ​sun ​inside ​of ​the ​bad ​luck. ​Jack ​Lemmon, ​arguably ​the ​greatest ​comic ​and ​dramatic ​actor ​to ​ever ​grace ​the ​screen, ​who ​is ​unrivaled ​​as ​the ​everyman ​who ​trips, ​stumbles, ​ ​triumphs ​and ​gets ​the ​girl. ​Or ​in ​the ​case ​of ​Some ​like ​it ​Hot, ​the ​guy. ​ ​Starting ​this ​week ​at ​one ​of ​my ​very ​favorite ​movie ​theaters, ​the ​Film ​Forum ​on ​Houston ​Street, ​Jack ​Lemmon ​turns ​100. ​ Can ​you ​believe ​it? ​And ​the ​Film ​Forum ​is ​opening ​its ​two ​week ​tribute ​on ​Friday, ​May ​16th ​with ​the ​iconic ​story ​of ​opposites, ​the ​Odd ​Couple. ​But ​I'm ​not ​here ​to ​talk ​about ​Mr. ​Lemon's ​legendary ​roles ​in ​Days ​of ​Wine ​and ​Roses, ​Glengarry ​Glen ​Ross ​ ​having ​a ​revival ​on ​Broadway ​now ​with ​Bob ​Odenkirk ​reprising ​Lemon's ​unforgettable ​Shelley ​Levine, ​The ​Front ​Page, ​Mr. ​Roberts, ​Bell, ​Book ​and ​A Candle. ​A ​personal ​favorite ​of ​mine, ​Some ​like ​it ​Hot, ​which ​I ​watched ​on ​VHS ​until ​the ​tape ​broke…I ​am ​here ​to ​talk ​about ​one ​of ​the ​greatest ​comedies, ​if ​you ​can ​call ​a ​film ​about ​a ​mid ​level ​office ​drone ​working ​at ​an ​insurance ​company ​ ​who ​lets ​his ​superiors ​bully ​him ​into ​letting ​them ​have ​his ​apartment ​for ​their ​affairs ​in ​hopes ​of ​him ​getting ​promoted ​and ​the ​suicidal ​elevator ​girl ​who ​whom ​he ​falls ​in ​love ​with. ​A comedy ​​The ​Apartment. ​ Legendary ​director ​Billy ​Wilder, ​coming ​off ​the ​wild ​success ​of ​Some ​like ​it ​Hot ​with ​Marilyn ​Monroe, ​wanted ​to ​keep ​his ​collaboration ​with ​Lemon ​going. ​So ​in ​1960, ​Wilder ​and ​I.A.L ​diamond ​(Come ​on, ​is ​that ​the ​coolest ​name?)​ who ​wrote ​Some ​Like ​It ​Hot ​with ​Wilder ​were ​inspired ​by ​an ​infamous ​Hollywood ​murder ​story ​about ​agent ​Jennings ​Lange ​who ​was ​having ​an ​affair ​with ​actress ​Joan ​Bennett ​in ​an ​underlings ​apartment. ​So ​her ​husband, ​producer ​Walter ​Wanger, ​shot ​and ​killed ​Lange. ​Check ​out ​Karina ​Longworth's ​excellent ​podcast ​Love ​Is A Crime from ​You ​Must ​Remember ​This ​for ​the ​full ​retelling ​to ​you ​and ​I. ​This ​might ​not ​seem ​like ​source ​material ​for ​one ​of ​our ​greatest ​comedies, ​but ​in ​Wilder, ​Lemon ​and ​the ​adorable ​Shirley ​MacLaine's ​Hands, ​it ​was ​a ​box ​office ​smash, ​winning ​five ​Oscars ​out ​of ​ten ​nominations. ​Now ​I ​could ​go ​on ​and ​on ​about ​Billy ​Wilder's ​meticulous ​directorial ​precision, ​Lemon's ​unreal ​​comic ​timing ​and ​turn ​on ​a ​dime ​pathos ​why ​Ving ​Rhames ​spontaneously ​gave ​him ​his ​very ​own ​Golden ​Globe ​in ​1998. ​But I'm actually here to talk about a hat, a haircut, and a mirror. Let's rewind to 1960 - President Kennedy just took office, Roy Orbison's ‘Only The Lonely' was on the radio, and the kids were doing Chubby Checker's ‘The Twist'. The very seriously subversive theme and subject of The Apartment can not be over stated in this climate. The film, shot in gorgeous black & white by Joseph LaShelle of Laura and Marty fame, puts us smack-dab in what I'd call ‘Mad Men' central - a heady swirl of cigarette smoke and ‘Tom & Jerry' cocktail mix, office Christmas parties, wives holding on line 2 while executive husbands scheduled accepted trysts before dinner and kissing the kids goodnight. Lemmon plays ‘C.C. Baxter', a hard-working, well-meaning drone who somehow gets himself turned into a sort of brothel landlord. His neighbors wonder how he can withstand being such a Lothario - the sounds coming through the walls everynight don't match C.C. Baxter's unassuming Brooks Brothers suit with a rumpled white shirt with rounded collars and tie-bar to boot.But Baxter is caught in a hilarious cycle of paying his dues to climb the corporate ladder. This is what you must do. You must get out of bed at midnight to allow your boss to wine and bed his mistress in your Upper Westside apartment even if it involves you sleeping on a park bench in Central Park and catching your death (which Lemmon really did on that particular night shoot on location in the chilly fall of NYC). Lemmon's aspiration is to be ‘the youngest junior executive at Consolidated Insurance' so he MUST climb that corporate ladder to get the accoutrements - the windowed office, the carte blanche phone calls to pass on favors, and the bowler hat!He proudly shows it off to Shirley MacLaine's elevator operator, Fran Kubelik, who regards it as the ultimate symbol of the last ‘nice guy' crossing over the river Styx to the underworld of betrayal. She is happy for Baxter, but her eyes register a cultural sadness - this white male corporate culture is a disease and its got it claws in Baxter, and Baxter is completely oblivious to what he is about to sign on the dotted line for. Fran isn't. Despite her absolutely adorable ‘pixie' hair-cut, she has been groped by the best of them, and seems unreachable by the hordes of executives. Fran is the Snow Leopard, the last big game that hasn't been conquered. You can grab her butt, and she firmly pushes you on your way. There is something modern, forward-leaning in her attitude and appearance, punctuated by that hair-cut representing women's liberation, strength, and independence. ‘I don't need long flowing hair to make you like me, pal.' The pixie cut was popularized by Audrey Hepburn in the late 1950's, followed by the model Twiggy, and reaching its apotheosis with Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby in the mid-1960s. But Shirley MacLaine, in my humble opinion, does it best as ‘Fran', the hard-working elevator operator girl who won't fall prey. Fran says in one of the film's most famous lines of dialogue, “When you're alone with a married man, you shouldn't wear mascara.” Shirley MacLaine's tender and deep performance as ‘Fran', lets us - and eventually Baxter - know that all is not well in the corporate system and the culture at large. One of the most ingenious uses of the Hollywood film adage ‘show don't tell' in filmmaking is the use of a simple compact make-up mirror to tell a major plot turn in The Apartment. Baxter's boss, Jeff D. Sheldrake played with brave impunity by silver screen star Fred MacMurray, who was so hated after this performance he would be aaccosted in the street by ladies chasting him for playing such a ‘dirty man'. Sheldrake calls Baxter into his office early in the film for what Baxter thinks is his promotion. Sheldrake says he's heard about Baxter's ‘key' - meaning his revolving brothel. Sheldrake wants in. Baxter obliges as Sheldrake is THE biggest fish. Later, in another summoning to the head honcho's office, Baxter gives him a floral compact he discovered in his couch, assuming it belongs to Sheldrake's mistress. The mirror inside the compact is cracked jagged down the middle splitting the image of whoever opens it in two. Baxter thinks nothing of it until he is modeling his bowler hat - the Junior Executive - for Fran. What do you think? he askes her. “After all, this is a conservative firm. I don't want people to think I'm an entertainer…”. In the midst of this, Fran helpful as ever, opens her compact to show Baxter how the bowler hat looks. To Baxter's deep inner shock, he puts ‘two and two together' and realizes Fran is in fact Sheldrake's mistress. The horror. The one that was ungettable gotten by the biggest fish with a wife and two kids. The shot of Lemmon reacting in the cracked compact is on the of most effective story and visual devices I can think of in cinema. Baxter sees himself split apart - two worlds: the happy go lucky Baxter, and the Baxter that is now privy to some vile stuff involving the one girl he actually likes.Fran sees his reaction and asks ‘what is it? Baxter takes a beat. “The mirror…it's broken.” Then Fran utters one of my favorite lines, “I know. I like it this way…makes me look the way I feel.” WOW. What a subversive revilation! What a profound utterance. Talk about Chekhov. ‘Makes me look the way I feel'. We begin to realize all is not right with Fran. Sheldrake is leading her on. She sets a boundary at the local Chinese restaurant where he apparently takes all his conquests - the back booth. But Sheldrake works her over, and convinces her he WILL leave his wife. After a tryst back at Baxter's apartment on Christmas Eve, Sheldrake must catch his evening train to make dinner with the family. Obviously having forgotten to get Fran anything of real signifigance for Christmas, he opens his wallet and hands her a hudred dollar bill. Even in today's anything goes era, it's a shockingly seedy gesture that is all too real. MacLaine's Fran takes it in stride - just like Baxter leaving his key under the rug for his bosses - and stands to take off her coat and gets ready to disrobe. Fran says something like, ‘well, you already paid for it.' Ugh. My heart broke! For Fran, for Baxter, for the sad inevitablity of it all. Trigger Warning. The last portion of this episode deals with suicide. Listen with care. Fran asks to be left alone. In the bathroom, she finds the hundred dollar bill in her purse, and realizing she will never be able to break this cycle, she sees Baxter's sleeping pills - Seconal - and takes them all. Meanwhile, Baxter is out drowning his sorrows with a hilarious companion, played by actress Hope Holiday. They get drunk and dance, looking for a place to get even closer, they head back to Baxter's apartment - “Might as well go to me. Everybody else does.” Once back at his place, he discovers Fran and races to his jocular doctor neighbor, played by Jack Kruschen (also Oscar nominated for his hilarious supporting role as Dr. Dreyfuss), and Fran narrowly misses checking out. While recovering at Baxter's playing gin rummy (which MacLaine was playing alot of as a peripheral member of the Rat Pack), Fran and him bond, more than bond. They fall into bliss and don't even know it. It's a beautiful chemistry, one that apparently as it evolved dictated the script. Sources say upon commencement of filming, the screenplay was a mere 40 pages, and Wilder liked to work that way and let things evolve. He was also famous for re-shooting after viewing dallies. MacLaine calls him 'sciencentific, brittle and caustic with women but made you better for it'. She tells a story about once such instance during a climactic scene with Fred MacMurray's ‘Sheldrake' where she couldn't get the emotion necessary for their break-up in the Chinese restaurant they frequent. MacLaine's native Canadian accent was coming out literally on the word ‘out.' After viewing the ‘rushes', he concluded they need to re-shoot, even calling MacLaine out in the screening room. MacLaine, much like Fran, didn't buckle under pressure, and they re-shot. On the day, Wilder called ‘Action' and excused himself to give her the privacy to do the scene. She hit it out of the park, uttering the lines from that take that made the final cut, “So you sit there and make yourself a cup of instant coffee while he rushes out to catch the train.”Well, long story short, Baxter and Fran end up together - thank Heavens. I could explain the plot twists to get them there, but I want to leave you with one final remberance of MacLaine's. When asked what it was like to work with Jack Lemmon, she said, “He would say, ‘Magic time!', every time the camera rolled. And then we knew we'd better make some magic.”Check out The Apartment on the big screen at The Film Forum in all its glory this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Sie war eine der letzten Zeuginnen, die erzählen konnte, wie Jüdinnen und Juden in der Schweiz den Zweiten Weltkrieg erlebten – und wie dies ihr Leben prägen konnte: Myrthe Dreyfuss-Kahn. Im Januar ist sie verstorben. «Perspektiven» erzählt von ihrem Leben – und ihrem Engagement für Flüchtlinge. Fünfjährig war Myrthe Kahn, als die Nationalsozialisten in Deutschland die Macht übernahmen. Neun, als ihr Grossvater ins Konzentrationslager Dachau verschleppt wurde. Der Familie gelang es, die Grosseltern in die Schweiz zu holen. Mit Schrecken verfolgten sie die Gräueltaten des Holocaust im Nachbarland, nahmen Flüchtlinge auf, verwandte und gänzlich unbekannte. «Das Schweizer Judentum hat Grosses geleistet zu dieser Zeit», sagt Historikerin Barbara Häne. Denn die Verantwortung für die rund 20'000 jüdischen Flüchtlinge, die während der Nazi-Herrschaft in die Schweiz entkamen, mussten die Schweizer Jüdinnen und Juden tragen. Eine entscheidende Rolle spielte dabei der VSIA, später unbenannt in VSJF, das jüdische Flüchtlingshilfswerk, deren Präsidentin Myrthe Dreyfuss-Kahn später wurde. Geprägt von den Erfahrungen in ihrer Jugend und der Kindheit, setzte sie sich für Flüchtlinge ein, holte etwa während der Balkankriege 80 Jüdinnen und Juden aus Sarajewo – und empfing sie persönlich am Busbahnhof. Der Einsatz für Menschen, die weniger Glück hatten im Leben, war für Myrthe Dreyfuss-Kahn zeitlebens eine Selbstverständlichkeit – und Teil ihrer Religiosität. Im Januar ist Myrthe Dreyfuss-Kahn verstorben. Eine weitere Stimme ist verstummt, die von den Erfahrungen im Zweiten Weltkrieg erzählen konnte. In der Sendung zu Wort kommen: · Myrthe Dreyfuss-Kahn, Doyenne des Schweizer Judentums, vormals Präsidentin des VSJF · Barbara Häne, Historikerin und Forschungsverantwortliche des Jüdischen Museums Basel · Gabrielle Rosenstein, ehemalige Präsidentin des VSJF · Walter Schmid, ehemaliger Zentralsekretär der Schweizerischen Flüchtlingshilfe, Präsident der Schweizerischen Konferenz für Sozialhilfe und Stiftungsratspräsident des HEKS Autorin: Nicole Freudiger

Dunnnh dun. Dunnnh dun. Never before had two notes provoked such terror as they did in JAWS, the 1975 classic that invented the summer blockbuster, catapulted Steven Spielberg to Hollywood legend status, and inspired generational trauma about water. Actor and recognizable famous person Timothy Simons joins us to talk about this classic shark tale, and we go long on Scheider, Dreyfuss, Shaw, and the career of journeyman director Joseph Sargent (?). Which member of the Blank Check crew would be least likely to get attacked by a shark? Obviously Ben, because he respects water. What the hell did Chief Brody think he was gonna do when he apprehended the shark - arrest it? Why isn't Griffin familiar with the concept of a ferry? We dare to ask these questions, just as the citizens of Amity dared to go into the water.

Sometimes you need to make concessions to get what you want. That seems to be the case with this episode of Saturday Night Live. How else does one explain Gary Tigerman as the musical guest?  "You'd like Richard Dreyfuss, fresh off becoming the youngest Oscar winner ever, to host?  Sure, he'd love to do the show. But, he'd like to bring his friend along."  Some call it "The Paul Simon Effect."  Regardless, here we are.  Dreyfuss gets to play with a couple of recurring characters, tries his hand at the last "Marilyn piece" of the original era, and introduces us to Father Guido Sarducci. And, just to hedge their bets, the show has Jimmy Buffett perform one song (seated, since he has a broken leg).Lots to discuss.....Subscribe today!

SummaryBen Dreyfuss and Harry Dreyfuss introduce their new podcast and discuss their unique dynamic. They talk about their different skills and personalities, with Ben being a journalist and Harry being a therapist. They also discuss their intelligence levels and humor. They then move on to discuss the recent presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, with Ben criticizing Biden's performance. They explore the possibility of Biden stepping down and the potential candidates to replace him. In this conversation, Ben Dreyfuss discusses the dynamics of power within institutions and the reluctance of some individuals to let go of their power, even if it means protecting the institution itself. He also reflects on the contemptuous attitude towards Republicans who forgave Trump after the January 6th attack on the Capitol, and his own struggle with being a hypocrite. The conversation then shifts to a letter from a college student who is concerned about how their predominantly white neighbors will react to their black friend visiting. Ben criticizes the letter writer for assuming their neighbors are racist without any evidence and for dehumanizing their friend. He also critiques the condescending response from the advice columnist, arguing that it only perpetuates division and does not offer a constructive solution. The conversation concludes with a discussion on how to effectively respond to compliments and the importance of participating in social norms.Keywordspodcast, co-host, dynamic, skills, intelligence, humor, presidential debate, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, performance, stepping down, potential candidates, power dynamics, institutional power, protecting power, contempt towards Republicans, forgiveness, hypocrisy, racial bias, assumptions, dehumanization, condescension, responding to compliments, social normsTakeawaysBen Dreyfuss and Harry Dreyfuss have a unique dynamic and enjoy engaging conversations.Biden's performance in the presidential debate was criticized, raising concerns about his abilities.There is speculation about the possibility of Biden stepping down and potential candidates to replace him.The Democratic Party is facing internal divisions and criticism from its own members.

David Mamet, an acclaimed playwright who has won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize, expressed his reservations concerning the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) norms that have seen increasing prevalence in Hollywood. During a recent discussion, Mamet presented a belief that these norms may serve to restrict the innovative capabilities of practicing professionals within his industry, carrying a negative impact on the quality of work produced. He voiced his particular concerns against the new criteria the Academy of Motion Pictures has laid out for consideration in its award races. Mamet seemed perturbed by the newfound invasive attitude of these regulations, arguing that they could be stripping away the essence of meaningful storytelling. Mamet has a deep-rooted conviction that the film industry should not act as a propelling force for the propagation of evolving viewpoints about racial matters and diversity. For him, it's a matter of maintaining the sphere of influence within its boundaries and not encroaching upon individual values and perceptions. As part of his critique, he also indicated dissatisfaction with the decisions of certain film executives and scriptwriters. Mamet's worry lies in the potential silent treatment of unconventional, creative writers whose unique perspectives might be suppressed due to adhering to these standards. He conveyed his thoughts on the state of the film industry by demonstrating a decidedly bleak vista. Mamet insinuates that the once thriving field is showing worrisome signs of stagnation and deterioration. Interestingly, Mamet is not the only prominent figure to voice concerns about the prevailing DEI standards in Hollywood. Renowned actor Richard Dreyfuss has also questioned the rationality of having art's trajectory determined by fluctuating moral compasses. Dreyfuss asserts the importance of creating art autonomously, unbound by the demands of keeping in step with the moral zeitgeist. He adamantly posits that art should not be confined to the current dictations of morality that seem to swing in the tides of societal opinion. Like Mamet, Dreyfuss questions the need to create artworks specifically designed to please either minority or majority viewership segments. He harbours the notion that works of art should be appreciated for their inherent worth, not for how well they conform to the voices of specific demographic groups. For an in-depth understanding of Dreyfuss's views, one can tune in to 'Firing Line with Margaret Hoover.' This provides an excellent platform for hearing Dreyfuss articulate his concerns and beliefs in person. Both Mamet and Dreyfuss highlight an essential question that Hollywood, and indeed the arts industry at large, must grapple with: Should art conform to societal demands, or should it remain independent, potentially challenging audiences to question and re-evaluate their preconceived notions and beliefs? These prevalent voices come at a pertinent time when the industry is grappling with the balance between maintaining its creative freedom and adhering to the evolving societal norms of inclusivity. Respectful dialogues like these are imperative to ensuring that an equilibrium is reached that doesn't compromise the thriving creative spirit of Hollywood. Collectively, their remarks reflect a deep-seated longing for a Hollywood that values the uncompromised voice of the artist. It's an echolalia of a time when storytelling was sacred, and distinctive voices weren't hindered by monolithic standards. Yet, these views serve but one perspective on a multi-dimensional issue. While it's important to heed their concerns, it's equally critical to understand the transformative power the arts can have in promoting a more equal and diverse society. The Balance between preserving art for art's sake, and accommodating evolving demands of inclusivity and recognition of marginalised voices, is a continuous discourse in Hollywood. It is a worthwhile dialogue to engage in, as the art does not exist in a vacuum - it both influences and mirrors society. In conclusion, understanding that the observations raised by Mamet and Dreyfuss are part of a larger, on-going conversation about diversity, equality, and inclusion in Hollywood can serve as a crucial stepping stone. While they hint at a nostalgia for a more 'unrestricted' era of storytelling, it's important to comprehend that these conversations serve as a catalyst for necessary change.

David Iserson joins us to talk about the second big miss of Steven Spielberg's career, the critically panned romantic drama Always.Get ready for two hours of Richard Dreyfuss dunking, as we try to figure out what went so wrong in the creation of this tepid remake. Would Always have been a classic with a more charming actor in the lead role? We talk about what this movie could have been if Spielberg were able to cast his first choices, what we think works about the concept and script, and where we think it went so, horrifically wrong (Hint, it's mostly Dreyfuss).Stay until the end to hear our Spielberg top tens! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In celebration of our 100th episode, what better film to dissect than "JAWS," the blockbuster that redefined the summer movie experience and cemented Steven Spielberg's status as a master storyteller. Released in 1975, "JAWS" not only terrorized audiences with its portrayal of a man-eating great white shark but also demonstrated the power of cinema to evoke primal fears and unforgettable suspense. Let's dive into the depths of "JAWS" and explore what makes it a cinematic masterpiece and a cultural phenomenon.The Genesis of Fear: A Simple Premise, An Unforgettable ImpactBased on Peter Benchley's novel, "JAWS" follows the harrowing ordeal of Amity Island, a fictional New England beach town, as it faces the deadly threat of a massive shark. Chief Brody (Roy Scheider), a New York cop turned local sheriff, marine biologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), and grizzled fisherman Quint (Robert Shaw) set out to kill the beast. Yet, the film's genius lies not in the story it tells but in how it tells it. Spielberg's direction transforms a straightforward plot into a masterclass in tension, pacing, and fear, making the unseen and the unknown our greatest terror.The Cinematic Craft: Building Tension Beneath the SurfaceSpielberg's innovative use of camera angles, John Williams' iconic score, and Verna Fields' tight editing work in concert to create an atmosphere thick with suspense. The decision to delay the full reveal of the shark until deep into the movie amplifies the suspense, making each attack all the more terrifying. Spielberg turns the ocean itself into a character, one that's beautiful yet menacing, inviting yet treacherous. The director's ability to coax fear from the mere suggestion of danger—using the audience's imagination against them—is a testament to his understanding of the horror genre's core principles.The Iconic Score: The Sound of FearJohn Williams' score for "JAWS" is nothing short of legendary. The simple, two-note motif has become synonymous with impending doom, illustrating how powerful a soundtrack can be in driving the emotional pulse of a film. Williams' music plays a pivotal role in building tension, often acting as the shark's unseen presence. It's a prime example of how sound can be used to heighten suspense and invoke visceral reactions from the audience.Characters and Performances: The Human ElementAt its heart, "JAWS" is a story about people, and Spielberg never loses sight of this amidst the thrills and chills. The film's central trio, Brody, Hooper, and Quint, are richly drawn characters brought to life by Scheider, Dreyfuss, and Shaw's compelling performances. Their dynamics—ranging from camaraderie to conflict—add depth to the narrative, making their quest to hunt the shark as much a personal journey as it is a battle for survival. Quint's Indianapolis monologue remains one of cinema's most powerful scenes, offering a glimpse into the scars that define us.Impact and Legacy: Changing the Tide of Cinema"JAWS" didn't just scare millions of people out of the water; it revolutionised the film industry. It was the first true "blockbuster," setting new standards for marketing, distribution, and box office expectations. The summer movie season, now a staple of the film industry, was essentially born with the release of "JAWS." Its success paved the way for high-concept films that prioritize spectacle and broad appeal, shaping the modern blockbuster landscape.Moreover, "JAWS" demonstrated the potential of special effects to enhance storytelling, despite the mechanical shark's frequent malfunctions. These technical difficulties inadvertently improved the film by forcing Spielberg to rely on suggestions rather than explicit visuals, a technique that would influence horror filmmakers for generations.The Cultural Phenomenon: Beyond the ScreenThe impact of "JAWS" extended far beyond movie theatres. It entered the public consciousness like few films before or since, influencing not only pop culture but also our perception of sharks and the ocean. Unfortunately, this led to widespread fear and misunderstanding of sharks, contributing to their vilification and the decline in some shark populations.Yet, the film also inspired legions of filmmakers and cinephiles, sparking a fascination with the power of cinema to create immersive, emotionally resonant experiences. It's a testament to "JAWS"'s enduring appeal that, nearly half a century later, it remains a subject of study, admiration, and, yes, fear.The Immortal "JAWS"As we celebrate our 100th episode by looking back at "JAWS," it's clear that Spielberg's masterpiece is more than just a movie. It's a landmark in filmmaking, a cultural touchstone, and a pivotal moment in cinematic history. Its ability to blend character, story, and technical innovation into a seamless and riveting experience is unmatched."JAWS" taught us that the most profound fears lurk in the unknown and that cinema has the unique ability to tap into those fears, creating unforgettable moments of suspense, terror, and ultimately, triumph. It's a film that continues to captivate, terrify, and inspire awe, proving that great storytelling, like the ocean, is timeless and profound.In revisiting "JAWS," we're reminded of the film's raw power and its monumental impact on cinema and culture. Here's to "JAWS"—a true behemoth of the film world that still reigns supreme in the hearts of movie lovers everywhere. May its legacy continue to inspire awe and wonder for generations to come.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

Are “Zynfluencers” the new Joe Camel? Joe was the cartoon mascot used by R.J. Reynolds to sell cigarettes in the 1990s, until the government cracked down on marketing tobacco to youth. Today, according to journalist Emily Dreyfuss, social media influencers are using their platforms to push addictive and harmful products like Zyn, a nicotine pouch, to young people. In a recent New York Times piece, Dreyfuss writes that influencer marketing to kids “falls into a legal and technical canyon so vast that the next generation is being lost in it.” We'll talk to Dreyfuss about the power of influencers and what parents need to know.

Join us in a tribute to the memory of Joyce Fienberg, one of the 11 victims of the 2018 shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. In this touching second installment of our series on the events of 10/27 , we sit down with Joyce's son, Howard Fienberg, and his wife, Marnie, as they share their  journey of mourning and resilience. Joyce was not only a dedicated member of the Tree of Life synagogue but also a retired university researcher, a devoted mother, and grandmother. Howard and Marnie open up about their extended period of mourning due to trial delays, offering a glimpse into the emotional toll of such a traumatic event. Marnie details how she turned her grief into 2 for Seder, an initiative to honor Joyce and push back against the hate that creates antisemitism. *The views and opinions expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views or position of AJC.  Episode Lineup:  (0:40) Howard Fienberg, Marnie Fienberg Show Notes: Listen: Remembering Pittsburgh Part 1: Behind the Scenes at the Reimagined Tree of Life Take Action: Urge Congress to Stand Against Rising Antisemitism Music credits: Tree of Life by Nefesh Mountain Follow People of the Pod on your favorite podcast app, and learn more at AJC.org/PeopleofthePod You can reach us at: peopleofthepod@ajc.org If you've appreciated this episode, please be sure to tell your friends, and review us on Apple Podcasts. Episode Transcript: Manya Brachear Pashman:   After her husband and mother died in 2016, Joyce Fienberg started each day at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, to recite Kaddish, the mourner's prayer. Even when she was no longer officially considered a mourner as Jewish tradition prescribes, 11 months, she continued to attend services each morning at the synagogue.  That's why Howard Feinberg knew his mother Joyce was at Tree of Life when he heard there had been a shooting there on the morning of October 27, 2018. It would be more than 12 hours before he learned she was among the 11 killed that day.  Howard and his wife Marnie are with us now from their home in Northern Virginia to talk about their prolonged mourning period and how they have held onto and channeled that grief. Howard, Marnie, thank you so much for joining us. Howard Fienberg:   Thanks for having us. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Howard, you followed your mother's example and recited kaddish for 11 months. Can you tell us a little bit about that experience? That experience of saying Kaddish and mourning for your mother, and also can you share with our listeners why it felt like the mourning period was extended? Howard Fienberg:   I felt a huge amount of support everywhere I went, in order to be able to say Kaddish every day. Which for someone who was not the most observant of Jews, it was a big lift to be able to do that every day. In fact, even when traveling in disparate places, that I could always find, somehow, be able to pull together 10 people to be able to say Kaddish was a big deal. And I wanted to make sure that no one would struggle in similar circumstances as well.  Obviously, initially, in Pittsburgh putting together 10 people was not a particularly big lift. Because the community support in that first week of Shiva was phenomenal. But it's not an easy thing in many congregations, and I think we are fortunate in mine that we always seem to pull it out every day. But I want to make sure that it happens. So in practice wise, that's one of the biggest things, my involvement with the synagogue, and prayer.  The broader extension of the mourning period, in a way, was a result of the constant delay of the trial for the monster that committed the massacre. And that was a result of both just the general usual procedural delays that you would expect, combined with COVID excuses that dragged things out during the trial. And once a new judge took over responsibility for this case, things suddenly snapped into gear and it moved forward. And we're particularly grateful for the judge in this case, just for his very no-nonsense approach moving forward. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Can you talk about whether the guilty verdict once it did take place, and a verdict was delivered, how that verdict changed anything for you and your family? Howard Fienberg:   It was a matter of relief, to a great extent. I sat through almost the entirety of the trial, heard and saw all of the evidence. A lot more than I expected to and ever wanted to, but I felt duty to do so. From an outside perspective, looking at it all, you would say this is a slam dunk case, lined up for all the federal hate crimes that were involved. And at the same time, I was in doubt until the jury came back and said, all said guilty. It's just the nature of things. I was on pins and needles. Massive relief afterwards and the same thing with the final verdict and sentencing. Massive relief for us and our families.  And that did allow…nothing's ever closed. You don't finish feeling the loss of somebody, especially when they're taken in, you know, horribly violent terrorist circumstances. But you move from segment to segment. So the same as we do in the year of mourning, you're moving from shiva, which is one kind of thing, to the 30 days, and then to the end of the mourning period. And this was moving to yet another period. And what exactly this is and how long it will be, I don't know. But we're figuring that out as we go. I certainly feel a lot more relaxed. Marnie Fienberg: Feels a little lighter. Howard Fienberg:   Yes, definitely lighter. Manya Brachear Pashman:   That's good to hear. That's good to hear. I am curious, you said you felt a duty to listen to those details, even though you didn't want to. Can you explain why you felt that sense of obligation? Howard Fienberg:   Part of it is, somebody in our family needed to. And it wasn't something that I wanted everybody to sit and hear and see. And I specifically told friends and family as much as I could, to stay far away and said, as much as you want to know, I'll let you know. But otherwise, it's horrific. And it wasn't anything that I would wish for anybody to see and hear. But at the same time, it's the reality of how my mom died. And what the circumstances were, what was going on with the antisemitic conspiracy theories that drove the monster that killed her. And what did he have in mind, and what was his intention, what did he plan, what did he do? These were important things.  And the bigger picture, which I didn't even know going in, was the extent to which the police in Pittsburgh were so heroic. And while they were not able to save my mom, they saved other people, including friends of ours, and people who are now friends, who would not be alive if those cops had not tried to charge at the front door trying to charge the building and getting shot. And then the SWAT teams going into the building, and in a couple cases getting almost murdered themselves, trying to rescue the people that were inside. And they did rescue some people. And those people would most likely be dead if the SWAT had not rushed in. Equipment wise, they were not ready ordinarily for this sort of situation. But they went in anyways because they knew they needed to, and they didn't hesitate. And that's the kind of thing that you can only understand, having gone to the trial and learned what went on.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Marnie, I want to turn to you. You quit your job as a federal contractor and started a nonprofit initiative called 2 For Seder. What prompted this sudden shift in your career? Marnie Fienberg: Well, I think that I was so upset about what happened with my mother-in-law, I did take a leave of absence initially. And I wanted to volunteer. Being a Jewish woman, and having all this anger and grief and all the support that we had received from people, literally all over the world. I just couldn't sit back and do nothing. So I wanted to do something that was really in honor of Joyce, but also something that would help every single Jewish individual if they so chose to be able to take some small tikun-olam-style action, and push back against the hate that creates antisemitism. And I think 2 For Seder really accomplished that, especially that first year. And we were really on track to grow quite enormously, except for COVID. COVID stopped us in our tracks, because it is about inviting 2 people into your home, who have never been to a Seder before and really educating them and immersing them in that Jewish joy and intimacy that you create every year at Passover.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   So I'm really curious about the seder connection. Was Joyce known for putting together really elaborate Seders? Was she just always at the Seder table? Why Seders? Marnie Fienberg: So this is a two part sort of explanation. So one is the sort of graduation to being allowed to hold the Seder. So my mother-in-law, really for 15 years we actually had done where we started at her house, and I helped her and I learned as we went and then we flipped it. And we came to our house and she would help me and make sure that I was doing things the right way and guiding me the right way. And there's, I mean, there's so much to do, putting on a Seder and trying to of course fit, you know, 30-35 people into a house that really should only have about 20 people in it is, of course, part of the tradition. And she never blinked an eye, it was never too much.  It was really mostly about making everyone at the table, regardless of their background–she always had students over, she always had people who had no place to go–every single person needed to feel like they were home. So if you had some sort of dietary restrictions, or any sort of an allergy or anything, my mother-in-law would bend over backwards, she bend herself into pretzels to make you feel 100% comfortable. And every single person who ever graced her table felt like they had never been more comfortable before. They felt like they were at their mother's house. And they commented on that many times. It was a wonderful thing. And I have to tell you, it's very hard to live up to. She was one of a kind. Howard Fienberg:   If I might add in, part of this comes from looking at photo evidence. I've been going through all of the family photos, last five years, trying to digitize and you can see the progression. So early on, there are pictures of Passover seders that clearly they've invited friends and other professors at the universities, students that were Jewish, they'd invite to Passover on a regular basis. And I think there's a turn somewhere in the early 80s, my brother and I would start inviting our non-Jewish friends to the Passover Seder.  And probably around about the late 80s was when it became not just bringing in Jews and my brother's friends and my friends who had never been to a Seder, it was their friends and fellow faculty, visiting graduate students from far-flung countries who knew absolutely nothing about Judaism. Certainly nothing about Passover. It was a way for them to have a comfortable introduction to what we're all about. And in all the context that my mother wanted to provide of it being a welcoming taste of being at home. Manya Brachear Pashman: We talked about how the Jewish tradition provides the process of formula, you know, the shiva and the 30 day mourning period. But this, the length of time that families have been mourning has been extended, delayed, slowed down. And I'm curious if on top of the Jewish traditions that guide people through the mourning process, if the Jewish community helped fill in some of what was missing, helped comfort you in certain ways? Marnie Fienberg: We live in two Jewish communities right now. We live in Northern Virginia, and we have our community here. And then we live in Pittsburgh, in a sense, and we have the community there. And we have been back and forth many times. The community in Pittsburgh, regardless if you were a family member, if you were a member of one of the three synagogues, or if you were a member of the greater community. There were so many ways that there were supports. And even from here we were always invited to participate in them. And some of them were done virtually actually when COVID hit which actually was very helpful for us. I don't know if the larger Jewish community is aware, but the FBI actually has a whole series of people, an entire division that's just there to support families and the communities that are affected from mass shootings, which also includes a grant to stand up an actual group that that is going to help the community at large. And that's the 10.27 Center for Healing in the Pittsburgh case, and that group is still standing and still running, still helping everyone.  So there's the Jewish side, where we all still pray together, where we get together for our commemoration once a year, the families always get together in Pittsburgh. And then here in Northern Virginia, there have been a variety of commemorations, but mostly our own local community at our synagogue is extremely supportive. They're, of course, another family to us. And this has only really brought us all closer, which has been wonderful. Howard Fienberg:   We've had a lot of different kinds of support structures, I wouldn't identify anything as where there was a failing, other than the broader problem that people thought it was over. The presumption on the part of everyone, when they found out that there was a trial for the monster that killed my mom, was: wasn't that done already? Manya Brachear Pashman:   I want to ask you both this question, what has given you hope in the last five years? Howard Fienberg:   I haven't had the time and strength to go through all of the letters and cards that we received in the month or two after mom was killed. But some of the ones that really impacted me the most, outside of people that we knew, or that knew my parents, I mean, I think we have a whole box of correspondence and cards from people who never met my mother or us. And a lot of those were from non-Jews, who were deeply impacted by this, and were moved.  I mean, it's one thing that we had large groups of Jews that came to our Shiva, for example, that wanted to be there to support and during the Shiva period. There were groups of students that came from universities outside of Pittsburgh, like Ohio, and from Massachusetts, they wanted to come and be a part of it, and they weren't Jewish. They just, they felt a need to support. And that's the kind of thing that gives me great hope. Part of why we look at projects like 2 For Seder as so important, that it's not just that we're Jewish, and we're other. So I see a great load of hope there.  But at the same time, the fact that, you know, trailing back to the trial, the fact that the Justice Department was willing to pursue the trial, and not just take a plea bargain, but actually present evidence and pursue a case involving such rampant antisemitism, and lay out the facts and prosecute them. That gives me great hope as well. It's not something that is an easy thing. The most reasonable response on their part probably would have been to, no matter what we wanted, would have been to pursue a plea bargain and make it all go away. Because it's expensive, and it doesn't make anybody feel good. Why would you do it? Manya Brachear Pashman:   So I have to ask, if the trial had happened a century ago, do you think the jury would have reached a guilty verdict? Do you think the prosecution would have pursued the hate crime charges as they did? Marnie Fienberg: So there would never have been any hate crime charges. Hate crimes did not enter the American laws until 1964, which is when the Civil Rights Act was enacted. This is why I think that we always need to be so thankful for Martin Luther King Jr. and to be proud that we were part of that. So a century ago, would this have even been considered an anti-Jewish crime, an antisemitic crime? No.  I think that you can look at Dreyfuss' case and you can say very clearly, this country, this part of the world was not ready for something like that. And they would have looked the other way. Would they have convicted as just a general murder? I don't know, there's a lot of those murders that just disappeared 100 years ago. But would it have been because it was antisemitism? Absolutely not. I would be very, very interested to learn of some other way that that would have happened. But we're very grateful that the same laws under the 1964 Civil Rights Act, that is what this was all held under. Howard Fienberg:   And the other angle is that the monster that killed everybody, he killed 11 people, he was not an upstanding part of the community, he did not have a whole segment of the community cheering him on, helping him, encouraging him, protecting him. That's not the way it worked. And the reactions and the killing of my mom was part of the demonstration of that, that people were horrified and they were supportive of us. And, you know, the Justice Department pursuing the case to the fullest extent of the law, as they should, would that have happened 100 years ago? No, but again, not just because of the lack of statute, but you know, our place in society was not what it is today. And society was not the same.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   I know we've sprinkled details about your mother throughout this conversation, but is there anything in particular in there anything in particular that you want listeners to know about Joyce? Howard Fienberg:   She twisted herself into knots and did whatever she could to help others, that starts with the rest of the family, and the amount of time and energy that she put toward helping us and helping my brother and sister in law and all of her grandkids, which were a huge focus of her life. The fact that she was able to also shoehorn in a lot of volunteer time at multiple different projects in Pittsburgh, as well as being the connector of our family and multiple sets of families, both email and letters and phone calls on a regular basis. It's an amazing thing that she was able to do that on a daily basis and still sleep and function. Not to mention, make sure that she was at minyan at Tree of Life early every morning. It was an amazing balancing act, y'know, it's a hard thing to pull off. Manya Brachear Pashman:   And she picked up someone each day for minyan as well, right? Howard Fienberg:   Yes, so unfortunately, he passed away. Late, late last year.  Manya Brachear Pashman:  May his memory be for a blessing. You know, I should ask, what does that mean to you, when this phrase, May her memory be for a blessing. What does that mean to you when someone says that about your mother?  Howard Fienberg:   I generally have an appreciation. Because, not just of what she meant to me, but the recognition from other people of the loss. And for some of them, they understand what that loss means. For others, they don't really, but they're trying to support. I do take comfort in that. I'm not certain that I did, certainly in the first week, I was too shell shocked to be able to appreciate all the people that were saying it to me. But, you know, over time, it makes a big difference. And I appreciate being able to do that for others, even complete strangers. If I'm supporting a minyan at someone's shiva, I like to be able to do that. Marnie Fienberg: Joyce was such a gentle, loving and caring person and to have her loss be through such an act of hate is where I think we all struggle. And I think whenever anyone talks to Howard or myself or any of the families about their losses, that they can feel that, that they can feel the shock that these people who just wanted to make the world a little bit better, a little bit of a better place, that they would be taken in such an act of hate, for no reason. I think that being able to say May their memory be a blessing really emphasizes the loss that we feel and the hope that we can fill in this space. Howard Fienberg:   And I will say it's very awkward to talk to somebody who's in mourning. Just the nature of it. The fact that we have what almost a rote saying that carries so much weight is a huge benefit. And I deploy it regularly with non-Jews. They're partially taken aback, and they're very touched, because they're used to getting the awkward, Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss, which doesn't make anybody feel particularly good. We can argue about the way Judaism approaches all sorts of things. I happen to think the Jewish way of death, you know, as depressing as it may be to think about, is very practical in a lot of ways. And it's designed to be helpful. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Has the rest of your family embraced that? Have they turned to the Jewish faith to cope with this, to try to make sense of it?  Howard Fienberg:   My brother was already what is called traditional in France, traditional Judaism, he embraced that much more fully, and is much more on the Orthodox range than he was before. And that was a huge part for him as well in coping, and coming to grips with our new life, after my mom died. And that is a piece of it for all of the family in different ways.  One of the positive things along these lines, my brother dedicated a Torah in memory of my parents. And by weird twist of fate, or God's hand, in choosing a date to dedicate that Torah in Pittsburgh, the date happened to land a couple of days before the final sentencing in the Tree of Life trial. So we had just a few days before, this whole ceremony and huge celebration that my brother orchestrated, to not only involve the local community and a huge celebration and things that I've heard about, but never seen.  People marching in a parade down the street, not far from Tree of Life, to introduce the new Torah to its new synagogue, but also in the final writing of the letters, finishing off the Torah, to be able to include some of the law enforcement officers that were injured in trying to rescue people at Tree of Life, as well as all of the families of the victims and the survivors. That everyone was able to participate from our family and our extended family. It was an amazing sight to behold and the simple fact that it landed right before the sentencing was kind of amazing, because there's this amazing positive outgrowth that you might not have expected. And the fact that it perfectly coincided with the darkness of the trial. It's an amazing thing. Marnie Fienberg: He had been planning this for three years. When Howard says that it was an amazing coincidence to bring them both together, to bring the one of the most Jewish things you could possibly do, dedicating a new Torah, creating and dedicating the Torah, right before the sentencing. There was never a plan for that. It just, it just happened. And it was very healing to the community. But it was also, I mean, the message of the shooter was to stop Judaism, to make us so afraid that we would never go back into the shuls, that we would never go back and be Jewish. And not only in the days right afterwards, where people flocked to go to shul. But this was just one more incredibly powerful expression, that each of the families has done so many different things, to focus on Judaism, focus on making the world a better place in memory of their loved ones. But this is just one more extraordinarily powerful example about how just being Jewish, just doing what we do best, it keeps us going. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Marnie, Howard, thank you so much for joining us and sharing part of your journey with our listeners, it's really a valuable conversation to have. Marnie Fienberg: Thank you for having us. We appreciate it.  Nefesh Mountain, from the song Tree of Life [singing]: O sweet friends, come and dry your eyes And hold each other by this Tree of Life I'm angry and tired of this great divide But I sing, nonetheless, with love on our side Manya Brachear Pashman: This episode is brought to you by AJC.

Daniel and Harry are joined by actor, comedian, and writer Julie Klausner to discuss the 1960 classic, “The Apartment” directed by Billy Wilder and starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine.They attempt to read the film's protagonists as emblematic of the Jewish immigrant, marvel at the strong Jewish representation in the Dreyfuss characters and their promotion of “being a mensch,” and make the case that this may be one of the best movies “for the Jews.”As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film's "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.The Apartment on IMDbThe Apartment Movie TrailerJulie Klausner on Twitter Listen to Julie Klausner on the Double Threat PodcastConnect with Jews on Film online:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jewsonfilm/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jewsonfilmpodYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@jewsonfilmTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jewsonfilmpod

In a surprisingly educational episode, the Shaw Crew learns that sharks are playful, '70s parenting was utterly irresponsible and Richard Dreyfuss was the original hipster. It's the summer blockbuster that started it all: "Jaws!" When listener Tracy C. commissioned this Steven Spielberg masterpiece, we knew we'd be talking about Big D peeing his pants, how good the movie looks in UHD, how what you don't show can be as scary as what you reveal and why good horror movies kill children. But we didn't expect to be praying for Dick's TV to die, groaning over criminal foreshadowing or praising "Jaws" for its character development. Was the shark a dick or just hungry? Were Brody, Quint and Hooper just bad at hunting great whites? Did you catch those boobs at the beginning?

Actor Richard Dreyfuss sits down with Margaret Hoover to discuss his initiative to improve civics education in America and why he fears the future of the nation is at stake. Dreyfuss reflects on how the study of civics has changed since he was in school, explains how he believes curriculums should be reformed, and criticizes efforts to limit students' exposure to opposing viewpoints. The Academy Award winner addresses the decline of civility in public discourse on both sides, including his own harsh rhetoric toward former President Trump.  Dreyfuss also voices concerns about new inclusion requirements for films to be eligible for the Best Picture Oscar and questions Hollywood's aversion to taking creative risks.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. And today we talk to the legend Richard Dreyfuss, currently starring in the film Sweetwater, in theaters now. Written and directed by Martin Guigui, the film tells the true story of basketball icon Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton, the first African-American player to sign an NBA contract. Dreyfuss plays league president Maurice Podoloff, stuck between a desire to integrate the sport and a perceived need to keep the more racist team owners happy. We chat with Dreyfuss about the new film and a select few of his lesser-seen gems. Among them are the Steven Spielberg 1989 romance Always (“It was my chance to play Spencer Tracy,” Dreyfuss says of the film), the gambling comedy Let It Ride, and the Sidney Lumet drama Night Falls on Manhattan. We marvel at Dreyfuss' ability to play complex characters, often understanding two opposing things as true at the same time. His innate charm often serves as a balm when playing thornier cads and conmen. The man himself speaks to what he searches for in his characters, marks the pronounced post-war change in Jimmy Stewart's career as an essential reference point, and comments on his reputation preceding him unfairly at times.

"That's my momma!" It's our second week of covering the comedic stylings of Dreyfuss & Landsberg! This week we discuss 1987's DUTCH TREAT! A movie that literally came out MONTHS after Detective School Dropouts. Cannon had conceived a vehicle for Dutch "girl band" the Dolly Dots in 1983 and they made good on that promise...4 years later...by combining their movie with a Dreyfus & Landsberg comedy. That's our Cannon! It's a movie SO loud and unrelenting in its attempt at madcap chaos comedy that it gave one of the Cannon Bros a migraine. It also has the honor of possibly having the most attempted murders or actual deaths than most of the Cannon action films The Cannon Canon has covered! We discover that the Dolly Dots are a great 80's pop-rock band ala The Go-Go's and The Bangles, Dead Meat sounds better at 1.5 speed and that the TRUE star of this film...is the boom mic (which is present in almost every single shot). Should have received top billing, really. OUR PATREON: patreon.com/thecannoncanon Follow us on the socials: Twitter: @thecannoncanon Instagram: @thecannoncanon Please rate and review us!

A mixed-bag, madcap comedic romp that leaves the Cannon Bros a little lukewarm on the film itself but respecting the hell out of the story behind getting their two movies made to begin with! In this episode we discuss: The hustle and dream of sketch comedians landing a 2 picture deal with a movie studio, Benny Hill speed-ups, middle-aged men in flimsy tear-away clothing, a plane that shows Ninja III: The Domination as its inflight movie and composer George S. Clinton takes on the Euro-Discoteque nom de plume GEO for this score. After all, "God knows what they put on their pizza in California!"

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/416  Presented By: Range Meal Bars, Yellowstone Teton, Trxstle, Stonefly Nets Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors  Dave Blackburn takes us on a journey through the Kootenai River in Montana. Discover the rich history of Kootenai, learn the secrets of when to fish for the best catch, and explore the various fishing techniques you can use there. Dave also shares some hilarious anecdotes, such as teaching Hollywood star Richard Dreyfuss how to cast on the set of Always. Find out how you can book a guided trip with him. And don't miss out on the grand finale where Dave delivers a fantastic banjo performance to complete our Kootenai experience. Kootenai River Show Notes with Dave Blackburn 5:24 - Dave tells the story of how he got into fly fishing. His teacher in the sixth grade taught fly tying classes. He started tying flies at age nine. 6:10 - He went to West Virginia University and participated in a placement program for foresters.  He was inspired to work in the Bighorn National Forest after seeing the movie Jeremiah Johnson, which depicted the Rocky Mountains. 6:40 - Dave was a backcountry ranger in the Cloud Peak primitive area and met his wife there. They visited his wife's family in Libby, Montana, where he discovered the Kootenai River. 7:54 - He talks about the first time he went fly fishing for native rainbows in the Kootenai River. He used a Mustad 94833. 10:23 - He describes the Kootenai River. He also talks about the impoundment of Libby Dam in 1974, which created a 90-mile lake and became home to various species of fish, including Kokanee salmon, rainbows, and cutthroats. 13:38 - I ask him about the best months to fish at the Kootenai River. He talks about the flows of the river mimicking a natural hydrograph due to the endangered status of the white sturgeon. 15:18 - He met with the technical management team along with the Fish, Wildlife & Parks and agreed to stop power peaking to prevent the sturgeon from becoming endangered. 16:15 - The green drakes have come back since the power peaking stopped. Green drakes can be seen around the second or third week of July. 17:46 - Dave shares a brief history of Kootenai and what the area is known for. The name Kootenai originated from French trappers to refer to the deer robes that the Kootenay Indians would tan. 19:34 - Libby is home to a historical museum. There is also the Cabinet Mountain Wilderness which is a grizzly bear habitat. 21:15 - He talks about the seasonal progression of hatches on the river. They have this thing they call a happy hour hatch. 22:58 - He discusses the various ways of fishing on the river, including float fishing, walk-wading, swing, and Euro nymphing. Dry fly fishing is the most popular way to fish at Kootenai River. 26:53 - He talks about fish size at Kootenai River. He mentions the 29-pound rainbow caught at the Kootenai River. 30:24 - The films River Wild and The Revenant were shot in Kootenai falls. 30:43 - He met Steven Spielberg when the film Always was shot in the Kootenai National Forest and around Libby in the 1980s. He had an opportunity to teach Richard Dreyfuss how to cast on the set and also had lunch with Holly Hunter and Dreyfuss. 33:03 - He talks about their 30-inch club and the incidental catches on bull trout. The biggest bull trout they've ever taken was about 41-inch bull trout, probably about 25 pounds. 35:31 - He discusses native fish management. The Redband rainbows currently do not have Endangered Species Act (ESA) protection, unlike the bull trout and white sturgeon. 38:22 - He talks about fishing trips at Kootenai. He says that a 3-day trip would be ideal when visiting Kootenai. Kootenai is the second largest river in the state. 42:35 - He talks about their lodging at Kootenai Angler and that time when they built their first rental cabin in '92 under $15,000. 43:25 - He shares that time when Meryl Streep wanted to stay in their cabin during their filming of The River Wild. 44:15 - Now they have a total of four cabins and an onsite restaurant that is open to the public. 45:20 - He describes what their busy summer looks like in the cabin and the drift trips they do. The floatable section of the Kootenai with the exception of the falls is 50 miles. 49:03 - Kootenai River is less famous than the Madison River or Big Horn. The traffic is unlike in other areas, and Dave thinks that is Kootenai's saving grace. 50:55 - There are a lot of places where people can camp along the river. 52:51 - He talks about the Kootenai Falls. 55:01 - Dave runs a full-service package for those who plan to visit Kootenai. 56:02 - He talks about the possibility of hooking big-sized rainbows. Streamer fishing is the most effective way to catch big rainbows. His head guide, Joe, caught a 32-inch rainbow on a hopper dropper rig. 58:04 - Jeff Currier was up in Kootenai fishing with him a while back. They used the SA stillwater line. Jeff caught a 9-pound rainbow using a Scientific Angler Stillwater camo. We had him in our first Traveled series episode. 58:50 - He applied Jeff's technique when he went to Iceland.   1:00:15 - They provide gear and flies in their guided trips. He's a Winston Pro Staff, so he carries Winston rods in the boat. For those who want to use their own gear, he gives tips on what gear to bring. 1:01:52 - They also offer last-minute guided trips. 1:02:31 - Their peak season is from August to early September. 1:04:38 - He talks about what the Fish, Wildlife & Parks' bull trout regulations. 1:07:47 - I mention our previous episode with Derek Bird of Fly Fusion Magazine. 1:09:06 - Dave mentions the possibility of catching a Westslope cutthroat trout. 1:11:07 - It's time for the two-minute drill. I ask Dave for some online resources where people could dig in more about Kootenai. Dave recommends the Libby Heritage Museum and the Libby Chamber of Commerce. 1:11:31 - He also recommends Sources of the River for those who want to dig deeper into history. 1:11:47 - Dave was a regional director of Montana Trout Unlimited and the Fishing Outfitters Association of Montana. 1:12:29 - He tells us about that time when he took American author John Gierach up on the Elk River in the late ‘80s. He also went fishing again with John two years ago in the Kootenai. 1:13:50 - He talks about the Sheldon Mountain Boys and gives us a fantastic banjo performance to cap off today's podcast. 1:14:20 - I mention our episode with Brandon Molzahn who also plays the banjo. 1:16:40 - He also plays with the band called Boulder Creek.
