Donde se analiza "Femme fatale", otro remix que Brian de Palma realiza de sus influencias y su propia obra. Y nosotros encantados.

Femme fatale, la imagen de una mujer peligrosa, por sus encantos, por sus intenciones, nace en el arte. Descubrimos con Pablo Ortiz de Zárate, el Artesano, cuál es el origen de esta figura. 

New York, 1888. Ann O'Delia Diss Debar — self-styled Spirit Princess, alleged daughter of Lola Montez — convinced a grieving Madison Avenue lawyer that Raphael and Rembrandt were painting for him in his own parlor. The paintings were chemical tricks. The deed to his townhouse was hers. And the worst of her career was still ahead.Jump to the AD-FREE Safe House EditionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

Gilded Age New York crowned her the Queen of Crime. Sophie Lyons — pickpocket, shoplifter, blackmailer — spent fifty years selling men's shame back to them at Parker House prices.

Screenwriters Hannah Bos (HBO's Somebody Somewhere), Kim Krizan (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset) and Selina Lim (Sex Education, Hanna) on building writing partnerships, developing characters from the inside out, and finding your way into a writers' room.   You'll learn Why a writing partnership only works when you can separate your ego from your ideas. How seven years of making weird theatre in Brooklyn quietly set the stage for an HBO show. What it takes to write a quiet, character-driven show in a TV landscape built for plot. How a master's thesis on a diarist turned into one of the most beloved screenplays of the nineties. How Before Sunrise was built from index cards on a living room floor. Why thinking about the product kills the work, and what to focus on instead. The case for starting with character before plot, and letting the story follow. What breaking into TV actually looks like. How to set the tone in a writers' room so the ridiculous ideas can surface. A practical approach to dialogue.

Cosplayer/Femme Fatales Kat Godsey & Kristin Breaux join me for a discussion of our favorite Femme Fatales from the movies, starting in the 1930s and ending in present day. It's a great panel with lots of deadly ladies.

Fritz Lang directed a pair of noirs in the mid-40s, starring Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett and Dan Duryea. The other is Woman in the Window. In Scarlet Street Eddie G. Is a mild-mannered cashier who meets Kitty, a beauty who might not mean him well. And then Dan Duryea gets involved. Like any self-respecting noir classic, this one is nice to look at, and even features twelve paintings created for the film. In real-life, Eddie collected art and Dan Duryea was a nice man. Shelly Brisbin with Philip Michaels, Dr. Drang, Nathan Alderman and Micheline Maynard.

Cleopatra revealed: power, propaganda, and the woman behind the mythMost people think they know Cleopatra — the irresistible seductress who captivated Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. But what if that story is largely fiction, shaped by political spin and centuries of retelling?In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by acclaimed historian and author Lucy Hughes-Hallett to dismantle the enduring myths surrounding Cleopatra VII — and reveal the formidable ruler hidden beneath the legend.Cleopatra: More Than a SeductressCleopatra has long been reduced to a caricature — a femme fatale whose beauty brought powerful men to ruin. But as Lucy Hughes-Hallett explains, this version of Cleopatra owes more to Roman propaganda than historical reality.Much of what we “know” comes from sources loyal to Octavian (Augustus), who had every reason to discredit his rival Mark Antony. Portraying Cleopatra as a dangerous, manipulative temptress helped justify his victory — and reshape history.The truth? Cleopatra was a highly capable ruler who:Stabilised Egypt's economy during crisis Built powerful political alliances Ruled independently in a male-dominated world Understood and deployed propaganda just as effectively as her enemies The Politics Behind the PassionWhile her relationships with Caesar and Antony are often framed as epic romances, this episode explores their political importance.Cleopatra needed Roman military backing. Rome needed Egypt's immense wealth. Their alliances were strategic — not just romantic.Even the famous “love stories” were later exaggerated to serve narratives about:Power and masculinity in Rome Fear of powerful women Suspicion of foreign rulers The dangers of “losing control” to desire Beauty, Myth and MisrepresentationWas Cleopatra truly the legendary beauty of popular culture?Ancient sources suggest otherwise. Coins from her reign depict a strong, distinctive profile — not the flawless icon of Hollywood. According to later accounts, her real strength lay in her intelligence, charisma, and political skill.Her story evolved over centuries:Medieval writers like Geoffrey Chaucer recast her as a model of devotion Renaissance dramatists, including William Shakespeare, emphasised passion and tragedy Each version reveals more about the storyteller than Cleopatra herself.About Lucy Hughes-HallettLucy Hughes-Hallett is an award-winning cultural historian and author, known for exploring how history and myth intertwine.

We conclude the Star Warped Tour Week with another special on filmmaker Brian De Palma: his Crime Conspiracy Movies!   MOVIES DISCUSSED: The Fury, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Wise Guys (1986), The Untouchables, Casualties of War, Snake Eyes, Femme Fatale (2002), Redacted (2007) & Domino (2015)     TALKING POINTS: *Did Curtis Hanson, David Fincher and Denis Villeaneuve take influence from De Palma or just the same filmmakers he was imitating?   *Does De Palma suffer from much of the same issue as George Lucas by relying on the actors to do all the backstory work but not coach them on what he wants personally?   *All that and how no one should dislike BLOW OUT unless their name is Ted Kennedy!       PODCAST GUESTS: Film Critic Sean Patrick (I Hate Movie Critics Podcast, Sean At The Movies Blog), Anthony Francis (The Movie Revue) & James Bruno     MUSIC INTROS: "Main Theme" by John Williams (from The Fury) "The Strength Of The Righteous(Main Title)" by Ennio Morricone (from The Untouchables)

On the fifty- seventh episode of All the Film Things, I had the pleasure of interviewing Oscar- nominated writer Kim Krizan! Kim Krizan is a California- based Oscar- nominated writer whose work thirty years ago has remained popular and continued to resonate deeply amongst audiences across generations. Her master's thesis on Anaïs Nin piqued Richard Linklater's interest whilst she auditioned for his film Slacker (1992). After that, the two became frequent collaborators in the 90s and 2000s. Not only did Kim star in Dazed and Confused (1993), she co- wrote Before Sunrise (1995) with Linklater and co- created the story of Before Sunset (2004), which earned her an Oscar nomination. Her creative writing expands beyond film as she has also written a comic book and two books, including Original Sins: Trade Secrets of the Femme Fatale which you could purchase by clicking here. Aside from her work on and for the big screen, Kim has been teaching creative writing around the world and at California colleges.For the past five years, Kim has brought her creative writing lectures to Patreon through her channel “The Magic Hour”. “The Magic Hour” is a virtual writing class accessible to people around the world who want to gain the inspiration to write and tell original stories. Some of the collections offered include analyzing films, personal exploration, and solving writing problems. Go to Patreon.com/KimKrizan to subscribe to “The Magic Hour” and unlock lessons that will inspire and improve your creative writing as well as attend occasional live sessions to get advice in real time from Kim. Both monthly and annual subscriptions are offered or you can purchase specific collections at various prices.This is Kim's first time on ATFT! I reached out to her a few months ago and had been looking forward to this interview ever since! Both Before Sunrise and Before Sunset are two of my favorite films and, when I started preparing for the interview, the clearer it was how much of her voice is in the script. To have had the opportunity to chat with Kim will remain a true highlight and she was somehow even lovelier than I expected her to be! This episode was recorded on January 22, 2026. I wanted to ensure I could make this a good interview in the short amount of time we had so if I sound more nervous than usual, that is why. In this episode, Kim shares her passion for cinema from the silent era to foreign art films. Kim also talks about writing the Before Sunrise script with Richard Linklater in less than a month, how much the earrings she wore to the Oscars cost, and why she wasn't involved in the making of Before Midnight. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

This week, I discuss the most well-known and reviled femme fatale in film history: Phyllis Dietrichson, played by one of the most respected and beloved actresses in American film: Barbara Stanwyck. This episode was originally aired as part of my American Trash and National Treasures series. The video version is in reverence to the Double Indemnity house and in celebration of my upcoming move near it. The 1944 film noir Double Indemnity is one of the shiniest, most monied film noirs produced in its time. The film is based on James M. Cain's book of the same name. The story itself is inspired by a true crime that is so American it smells like apple pie and fresh blood. This and every episode of Window Dressing is written, performed, researched, costumed, styled, and filmed by Madelaine Jane Auble

This episode is on the back of a fun trip to Melbourne! A little story time about night one and all the antics, ending up in a Skrip Club of course! Then onto the fact that every time I "explore" a topic, this time, "The art of receiving" I get hit with a difficult lesson that, allows me to see full circle! Painful? Yes! Weird? Oh absolutely! But valuable, which keeps me coming back for more!

Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today's character creation lesson begins with basic geometry, escalates into psychic powers, and somehow ends with a pacifist circus bear being seriously considered as a build option. In this episode, we take the gloves off and actually make characters for Pulp Cthulhu—choosing archetypes, rolling stats, hoarding skill points like goblins, and discovering that if you roll too well, you might accidentally invent the world's first telepathic himbo artist. If you've ever wondered how Call of Cthulhu character creation becomes fast, fun, and dangerously powerful, this is where the pulp really starts to flow. The D8 goes in the D8 hole. Show Notes This episode walks step-by-step through Pulp Cthulhu character creation, showing how investigators are built to be tougher, broader, and far more cinematic than their classic Call of Cthulhu counterparts. Ash guides Tyler and Randall through the full process—then breaks it down into a Quick & Dirty method that can get players to the table in minutes. Step 1: Choose an Archetype Archetypes replace traditional "classes" and are rooted in classic pulp fiction roles: Mystic (psychic powers, occult insight, vibes) Egghead (engineers, scientists, gadgeteers) Two-Fisted, Swashbuckler, Femme Fatale, Bon Vivant, and more Each archetype: Defines a core characteristic Grants bonus archetype skills Suggests traits, occupations, and story hooks This approach encourages concept-first design, letting the character idea drive the mechanics instead of the other way around. Step 2: Generate Characteristics Attributes are rolled using the familiar D100 roll-under system, but with a key twist: Core characteristic = 1d6 + 13 × 5 (expect very high numbers) Other stats use 3d6×5 or 2d6+6×5 High pulp means exceptional competence The result? Characters who feel powerful immediately—sometimes too powerful, leading to delightful accidents like rolling: Incredible Power Solid looks Questionable intelligence (Yes, the "himbo build" is real.) Step 3: Talents (High Pulp Edition) Because this game is running High Pulp, characters receive four talents instead of two. Talents are drawn from four categories: Physical Mental Combat Miscellaneous Highlights from the episode include: Psychic Powers Arcane Insight Weird Science Animal Companion (responsibly downgraded from "bear" to "bear-adjacent dog") Talents dramatically define how characters play and reinforce pulp action over fragile realism. Step 4: Occupation & Skill Points Occupations grant massive skill point pools, often hundreds of points: Skills start with base percentages Occupational skills come first Archetype skills add another 100 points Personal interest skills add even more The result is wide, competent characters instead of hyper-specialized glass cannons. The episode includes practical advice: Avoid pushing every skill to 95 Aim for flexibility, not just peak numbers Remember Credit Rating is mandatory and matters in play Step 5: Backstory (Fast but Meaningful) Instead of long essays, Pulp Cthulhu uses structured prompts: Personal description (biased, first-person) Ideology and beliefs Significant people Treasured possessions Traits Random tables spark instant character hooks, like: Idolizing Nikola Tesla Carrying calipers as a grounding object Shared trauma bonds Risk-taking or unreliable personalities One key backstory element becomes your Sanity anchor, helping characters recover from mental trauma. Quick & Dirty Character Creation Ash closes the episode with a streamlined alternative: Assign preset stat values Pick talents Select skills from fixed arrays Roll backstory details Start playing immediately Perfect for one-shots, convention play, or groups eager to punch cultists now, not in two hours. Key Takeaways Pulp Cthulhu character creation is fast, flexible, and cinematic Archetypes replace classes with strong narrative identity High Pulp characters start powerful and stay relevant Talents are the heart of customization Skill points are plentiful—breadth is rewarded Structured backstory tools create instant roleplay hooks The Quick & Dirty method gets you playing in minutes Yes, you can accidentally build a psychic himbo—and that's a feature Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

31. März 1997: Sicherheitschef Odo, rigide und barsch im Büro – sensibel und sehnsuchtsvoll im stillen Kämmerlein. Gemeinsam rechnen wir nach, dass er immer noch Jungfrau ist, insofern Vermischen mit seinen Artgenossen nicht zählt. Doch darum ist es nun geschehen, denn eine Femme Fatale kommt an Bord und hat neben einem Batzen Geheimnisse und einem mörderischen Duo auch Frühlingsgefühle im Gepäck. In Deutschland: Der Datenkristall, ausgestrahlt am 13. März 1998.

Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today's lesson is simple: cosmic horror, but with punchable Nazis. If classic Call of Cthulhu is about fragile academics discovering forbidden truths and immediately dying, Pulp Cthulhu is about kicking down the door, firing a shotgun at an elder god, and saying, "That all you got?" This episode is about concepts, themes, and vibes—the part of the game where sanity is optional, luck is currency, and surviving certain death might involve parachuting into a hot-air balloon you didn't know was there. Grab your fedora. We're going full pulp. Show Notes What Is Pulp Cthulhu? Pulp Cthulhu is a fully compatible variant of Call of Cthulhu that dials the game from existential despair to high-octane pulp adventure. Characters are tougher, more competent, and far more likely to survive long enough to matter. If Call of Cthulhu is The Thing or Evil Dead, Pulp Cthulhu is The Mummy, Army of Darkness, or Indiana Jones with eldritch nightmares.  Core Themes & Tone Heroic pulp action instead of grim cosmic inevitability Investigators who can take multiple hits and keep fighting A lighter, often comedic tone without abandoning horror Quips, gadgets, globe-trotting, and cinematic set pieces This makes Pulp Cthulhu an excellent transition for players coming from Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, or other heroic tabletop RPGs. Setting & Genre Shift Time period: 1930s, just before World War II Scope: Global adventures—London, Cairo, jungles, ruins, secret bases Enemies: Cultists, mythos horrors… and a suspicious number of Nazis The game leans hard into classic pulp tropes: secret societies, forbidden relics, occult conspiracies, and globe-spanning races against evil. Core Mechanics D100 roll-under system with degrees of success Regular, Hard, and Extreme successes replace DCs Fumbles and pushed rolls create escalating consequences Skills improve when you fail them during advancement These mechanics reward specialization while keeping tension high, even for highly skilled characters. What Makes Pulp Cthulhu Different? Archetypes Two-Fisted Hero, Hard-Boiled Detective, Mystic, Mad Scientist, Femme Fatale, and more Each archetype boosts a core characteristic and grants bonus skills Talents Passive and active abilities that enhance combat, investigation, or survivability Categories include Physical, Mental, Combat, and Weird Science Hit Points Roughly double standard Call of Cthulhu HP Still deadly—just less instantly fatal Luck as a Meta-Currency Spend luck to: Cancel fumbles Reduce damage Stay conscious Cheat death entirely (with a suitably ridiculous explanation) Luck regenerates every session, encouraging aggressive use Insanity, Magic, and Weird Science Insane Talents can grant powerful abilities with narrative drawbacks Magic is faster to learn but still dangerous and unpredictable Psychic powers like telekinesis and clairvoyance are viable builds Weird Science introduces death rays, jetpacks, ghost detectors, and other Flash-Gordon-adjacent nonsense Yes, you can build a psychic mind-wizard or a mad scientist with a death ray. The game actively wants you to try. The Pulp Meter The game supports multiple pulp levels: Low Pulp: Almost classic Call of Cthulhu Mid Pulp: Standard Pulp Cthulhu rules High Pulp: Extra talents, cinematic survivability, full nonsense This episode sets the stage for going high pulp in future sessions Key Takeaways Pulp Cthulhu trades hopeless cosmic horror for heroic pulp survival Characters are tougher, more competent, and more fun to invest in Luck is a central mechanic that fuels cinematic storytelling The 1930s setting enables globe-trotting, occult conspiracies, and pulp villains Perfect for groups who want action, investigation, and horror without constant character death If you've ever wanted to punch Cthulhu—or at least shoot near him—this is your game Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.
