Podcasts about Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

The Second Part in our Brothers Brought Low Trilogy How could there ever be a cult classic for a wide release starring Uma Thurman? Wouldn't everyone pause to gaze at her beauty and charisma? Of course as I type up these very show notes I'm reminded of finally catching up with EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES and being horrified at what my favorite screen goddess did which nearly RUINED the career of one Gus Van Sant before he could make his 1998 classic PSYCHO. But as the chosen film (I'm getting to it) GATTACA shows us... nobody's perfect. Even Ethan Hawke. Especially Ethan Hawke when he shares the screen with Jude Law. Enjoy!

https://notesonfilm1.com/2024/10/28/the-gus-van-sant-podcast-no-4-lisa-purse-on-even-cowgirls-get-the-blues-1993/ Lisa Purse on EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES (Gus Van Sant, 1993) I was truly delighted when Lisa Purse agreed to talk to me about EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES. Lisa is a Professor of Film Studies at Reading University, one of the most brilliant scholars on action movies, and a nuanced thinker on questions of mediations, conflicts, identities. I wanted to have her on the podcast because I thought she might expand my thinking on EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES, and she did. In the podcast we discuss seeing the film when it was first released, seeing it now, and explore the hows and whys of changing responses. We note the context of ‘New Queer Cinema' and the different kinds of experiments that were then taking place. EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES is a film that refuses seriousness and we speculate that maybe neither of us was then in a place where we could recognise the value of that. We discuss how the film continues Van Sant's interest in ‘The Road', and discuss movement and flow, as rhythm, narrative device, formal strategy, and condensed ideation. Is it a film that's trying to do much? B. Ruby Rich wrote on how the film contains references to forms of collective action. Is it more of its time than we first realised? We discuss the film as a form of active allyship that is not to be sneezed at, and note the hostility of its initial reception, refencing B. Ruby Rich's contention that with this film Van Sant fell into the category of a female director (at least for some) and therefore got treated as one.

"Follow The Leader" So, Rain Phoenix first was on my radar back in 1991 when she and her brother River had a band called Aleka's Attic. They had a marvelous song called Across The Way on this compilation Tame Yourself, which also featured The Pretenders, Michael Stipe, the Indigo Girls and K.D. Lang. The Texas-born Phoenix acted in TV shows like Family Ties and Amazing Stories and in movies like Even Cowgirls Get The Blues and Hitch. She fronted Papercranes, who put out three really great albums and she was in the Galactic Country band Venus and the Moon with Chris Stills. She also put out a really stunning solo album called River, which was named after her late brother, in 2019. A native of Southern California, Kirk Hellie is like a music archeologist because he knows how to dig sounds out of the deepest of grounds. A lover and studier of Avant Garde music, was in bands like Hellie Siblings, Death Loop Detonator and Pink Noise Test. Hellie played with Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, and toured with The Cramps and Iggy Pop.Together, Phoenix and Hellie are Escape Artist Lovers, who play a dizzying blend of sonorous and scruffy indie rock that sounds something like Beth Orton fronting the Jesus and Mary Chain. The interplay between these two musicians is pure magic and the songs, whether they're stripped back or coated in layers of fuzz and groove, are delicious slices of melodic bliss.   https://escapeartistlovers.bandcamp.com/ www.launchleft.com www.bombshellradio.com www.embersarts.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Gus Van Sant's adaptation of Tom Robbins' “Even Cowgirls Get The Blues” is generally regarded as a failure, an opinion Andras (who has read most of Robbin's books) shares. Bryan (who has not read the book) loves this film, which leads to a conversation about the responsibility (or lack thereof) directors have to their source material. Written & Directed by Gus Van Sant. Based upon “Even Cowgirls Get The Blues” by Tom Robbins. Starring Uma Thurman, Rain Phoenix, John Hurt, Pat Morita, Victoria Williams, Lorraine Bracco, Sean Young, Carol Kane, Buck Henry, Keanu Reeves, Crispin Glover, Ken Kesey, William S. Burroughs, Ed Begley Jr., Angie Dickinson & Roseanne Arnold How is the world wrong about Wrongness From Bryan Connolly: So much hate is dumped on this movie. Undeserved! It's weird. It's funny. Maybe it's not like the book. Good. Read the book. Enjoy that for what it is. Now lets enjoy this movie that has Pat Morita as a sexy guru!

A career retrospective with recording artist Rain Phoenix. Moderated by James Patrick Herman. Music chooses its vessels early on. At three-years-old, Rain Phoenix first uncovered her voice. Standing next to late big brother River, she belted along as he strummed “a guitar way too big for his five-year-old body.” Her story as an artist started there. “My first music memory was singing along to my brother at three,” she recalls. “The rest was history. From that day on, I sang with him. We maintained the same connectivity until I was twenty. Music has always been me next to him. All of the other incarnations of me playing in bands was just trying to understand how to make music without him. Through the process of making my solo record, I realized that instead of trying to understand music without him, I needed to include him, because he never really left.” These intimate moments set the stage for a fascinating musical journey. At the age of sixteen, she joined River in his band Aleka's Attic, developing a devoted following based on early recordings such as “Goldmine,” “Too Many Colors,” and “Across the Way.” Rain lent her voice as a backup vocalist to various legendary groups, working with R.E.M. in the studio and accompanying Red Hot Chili Peppers on the One Hot Minute Tour. Alongside sister Summer, she joined new wave punk upstarts The Causey Way in 1997, releasing a pair of albums and EPs. 2003 saw her form papercranes, which she fronted for the next decade through a prolific series of full-length albums and EPs. Not only did sisters Summer and Liberty guest on various tracks, but the band welcomed a rotating cast of talented friends and collaborators, including Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jenny O, Dermot Mulroney, and Kirk Hellie, to name a few. A devoted artist-activist, she was also a founding member of the NYC political cabaret The Citizens Band (2004-2012), performing alongside a wide array of notable artists, activists, and musicians. In 2013, she co-founded the folk duo Venus and The Moon garnering acclaim from Entertainment Weekly, Vice, LA Weekly, and more. Along the way, she also brought numerous film and television roles to life with memorable and magnetic performances. She went from Family Ties to Academy® Award-nominated director Gus Van Sant's 1993 adaptation of Even Cowgirls Get The Blues alongside Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves. Her filmography also spans I Woke Up Early the Day I Died, O, Harry and Max, and Hitch, to name a few. Additionally, Rain remains a committed philanthropist. In addition to serving on the boards of the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding and The Lunchbox Fund, she supports The Art of Elysium. She founded Gift Horse Project which became LaunchLeft “an alliance of left-of-center artists.” The latter doubles as a podcast and label home for both Aleka's Attic and her very first solo record River. “LaunchLeft is an artist launching platform where well-known creatives launch emerging artists. It's about backing artists who are passionate, challenge the status quo and push boundaries with their work whether it's popular or not,” she leaves off. “My brother espoused this same ethos. He invited me into Aleka's Attic and taught me so much about all things creative. It's a platform for mentorship and cultural change. It will eventually include all art forms, but it starts with music—like my journey did.”

Gus Van Sant makes another appearance on the Keanucopia, as his My Own Private Idaho collective join forces with Uma Thurman in the strange, quirky road trip that is Even Cowgirls Get The Blues. First up, Ben and Alex are catching up with some of the recent changes affecting upcoming movies, including the imminent arrival of Bill and Ted Face The Music. Then they try and pick apart exactly what Van Sant was going for here - an even more free-wheeling and star-studded endeavour than Idaho was, but this time with a plainly comedic streak, as Uma Thurman plays a model with the world's biggest thumbs...

This is the episode where you are your own spaceship, so you can rescue yourself. And when you do, we hope you have great insurance to cover your elective thumb surgeries and various unscheduled orthodontics appointments. Especially if your orthodontist likes to think of himself as…. more than that.
