To mark the return of the Fantasy/Animation archive instalments, Chris and Alex once more delve into the podcast's back catalogue for this relisten of Episode 70 and their discussion of Space Jam (Joe Pytka, 1996), which featured very special guest Professor Paul Wells, Director of the Animation Academy at Loughborough University. Listen again at their analysis of Space Jam as emblematic of animation's longstanding relationship with sport; the nostalgic callbacks that the film makes to Golden Age Hollywood stardom; sport, drama, metaphor, and society; Space Jam's soundtrack and negotiation of black celebrity identities; and how Joe Pytka's film provides the spectacle of stylistic hybridity through the lens of NBA basketball. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**

Chris and Will take you behind the scenes with Jim Hardy to discuss the Bob Hope YouTube channel, as well as Chris and Will's forthcoming events and a conversation about Golden Age Hollywood.

Words like 'legend', 'icon' and 'star' were created to describe Mae West! Our guest, Michael Gregg Michaud has written his third Mae West book, Mae West And Her Adonises which focuses on her revolutionary 50s nightclub act featuring a chorus line of muscle men. Mae set the stage for the male revue, now a staple of Vegas bachelorette parties and girls' nights out! Michael's book is packed with photos, press interviews, Mae's wickedly quippy and saucy one-liners and details about an act that was literally stopping traffic in every town it visited. Mae's first and only love was the stage but much like any episode of The Bachelorette, the Adonises found themselves lost in love for her and competitively pining for her attention, ultimately coming to blows when Chuck Krauser threw a punch at Mickey Hargitay. Hearts and jaws were broken and a high profile court case ensued. Mae was the O.G. of branding, literally carving her image out of strategically erected costumes, padding, wigs, headdresses and heals. She wrote and produced her own content, walking right up to the wall of naughty and bawdy but never crossing into tasteless. She artfully tap-danced around censors and male industry leaders, knowing innately what her audience would embrace. Mae famously jabbed and feuded with Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and W.C. Fields and maintained lifelong friendships with Louise Beavers, her boxer buddies, and the animals she adored. All this Plus Fritz and Weezy are recommending Bad Monkey on Apple + and Wicked Little Lies on Netflix. Path Points of Interest:Michael Gregg Michaud Michael Gregg Michaud on AmazonMae West and Her AdonisesMichael Gregg Michaud on FacebookMichael Gregg Michaud on InstagramMae West on IMDBMae West Stage Show - 1957Bad Monkey on Apple +Wicked Little Letters on NetflixGift of DemocracyMedia Path Podcast

When TVs entered living rooms and Cinerama lit up movie screens, teens went nuts for Troy Donahue. Born Merle Johnson Jr. he was discovered at The Golden Pheasant restaurant in Calabasas by bigwigs, William Asher and James Sheldon. Signed to Rock Hudson's manager Henry Wilson, Troy won the role of Johnny in A Summer Place and was a teen idol by the morning after opening night. A screen dream, Troy's reality was a nightmare. Author Michael Gregg Michaud has written books about Sal Mineo, Mae West, Marlene Dietrich and Diane Mcbain. Michael joins us to discuss his biography, Inventing Troy Donahue: The Making of a Movie Star.Long intrigued by the darker reality behind Hollywood's seemingly perfect presentation, Michael helps us understand the challenges that shaped Troy's life. He lost his father at 14 and undiagnosed dyslexia adversely affected his grades and his sense of worth. Troy began drinking in middle school. He says he was drunk all the way through his two TV series, Surfside 6 and Hawaiian Eye and unable to master new lines because of his learning disability and his inebriation. By the time he made Paul Springs Weekend, he was downing three codeine laced aspirins with a pint of vodka, followed by four lines of cocaine just to get himself up and out the door.This regimen was quickly followed by a career on the skids, financial ruin and four failed marriages. Troy's charm, humor, wisdom and gratitude pulled him through recovery and bonded him for life with ex-wives, girlfriends and screen partners, Suzanne Pleshette, Sandra Dee, Connie Stevens, Diane McBain and Angie Dickinson.We also learn from Michael about his other books, including a brand new one on Mae West's nightclub act. It's called Mae West and Her Adonises.Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending the new doc series on Paramount +, Willie Nelson & Family and Loudermilk on Amazon.Path Points of Interest:Michael Gregg Michaud on AmazonInventing Troy Donahue: The Making of a Movie StarTroy Donahue on WikipediaMichael Gregg Michaud on FacebookMichael Gregg Michaud on InstagramWillie Nelson & FamilyLoudermilk - Amazon Prime

In this episode, I discuss with author G. Bruse Boyer his book "Gary Cooper Enduring Style". Few things are truly timeless. Martinis, The Beatles, bespoke tweed…and, of course, Gary Cooper. Perhaps the nonpareil of Golden Age Hollywood's gentlemen, Gary Cooper was a beloved icon of manliness and style in his prime—and has aged like fine wine. He is the definition of classic.

Originally developed as a dramedy for Clark Gable, the success of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! compelled MGM to retool Harvey Girls as a musical romcom for Judy Garland. Boasting massive sets, lavish costumes, a saturated technicolor palette, and several elaborate song and dance numbers, Harvey Girls used all that frippery to tell a story about the wild west being tamed by the waitresses of a fast food restaurant. It was received with moderate critical praise, a healthy box office, and an Academy Award for its hit song "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe". The text of Harvey Girls is featherweight by design, but its premise inevitably gives the movie a great deal of weighty subtext. Ryan is joined by Sylvan and Cheryl for a discussion of this oddly-constructed ode of nostalgic Western mythmaking. The thematic topics brought up in the conversation include Manifest Destiny, what brought about the commercial decline of Western filmmaking, what Harvey Girls says about the role of women in "proper society", and the arbitrary double standards applied to leading actors in Golden Age Hollywood. One thing that kept popping up in the dialogue is how Harvey Girls blew many opportunities and missed a number of easy lay-ups (how do you bring Judy Garland and Ray Bolger onto a set together and then choose to have them NEVER interact in the final cut of the movie?) Also, Sylvan and Cheryl repeatedly express discomfort at Angela Lansbury being cast as the hardened administrator of the local bordello. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ryan-valentine3/support

Often perceived as the first Hollywood blockbuster, King Kong casts an undeniably long shadow upon movie history. Its special effects, soundtrack, and emphasis on larger-than-life spectacle established precedents that big tentpole movie releases still follow to the modern day. A number of its images rival Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Singing in the Rain, and The Wizard of Oz when it comes to Golden Age Hollywood iconography. Kong has never gone away, as evidenced by the barrage of sequels, reboots, remakes, rip-offs, and parodies that have proliferated in the decades since its 1933 release. Ryan is joined by Rachel for an analysis of this towering figure in celluloid. Conversational topics include the movie's thorny relationship with colonialism, the story's perceived parallels with the history of American chattel slavery, how the franchise reflects notions of masculine exceptionalism, and why Kong gradually transitioned from villainous beast to monstrous hero. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ryan-valentine3/support

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a witty social satire on gender and class that also serves as a celebration of female ingenuity and solidarity, decked out in beautiful brightly coloured ball gowns and diamonds. It's a love story, but not in the traditional sense; it puts female friendship front and centre, and remains one of the best buddy comedies. Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe are electric together, their friendship is obvious, they're flawless, with pitch perfect comedic timing. It remains a Golden Age Hollywood movie well ahead of its time in relation to sexuality, representation of intelligence, feminism and a celebration of pop culture. It turns 70 years old this year, can you believe?! A kiss on the hand may be quite continental... I would love to hear your thoughts on Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) !CONTACT....

Today we're talking a look at the Hays Code, a list of 36 'don'ts and be carefuls' for movie studios starting back in 1934 that changed the face of Hollywood forever. Ever wondered why Golden Age Hollywood films are so PG? Why even now queer people characters are hard to come by in films? Here's your answer!

Yet another Golden Age Hollywood classic but this time from the romantic mind of Terry J. Nelson.  Tune in as the boys bemoan the woes of love and being the better person while Hannah tries to bring the movie into a modern context with discussion points and woke buzzwords galore.     The krewe broaches the messy topic of toxic masculinity and the ADD train is in full force going a little off the rails but doing their best to make sure they hit all the stations.  Terry breaks out his best Humphrey Bogart impression, Matt throws in his two cents about the ending, Garrett muses on his own growth, and Hannah goes on a tangent about the historical context of Sam, the piano player.     While there may have been a few heavy-handed archetypes and a semi-controversial ending, this star-studded cast and their subtle performances only age better as time goes by (racism and sexism excluded, of course).     The krewe may not have had any gin on hand, but the toasts and roasts of this top 100 movie will have you saying, “here's looking at you, kid.”   Show notes:   This episode contains mentions the following: drinking, smoking, sexual assault, domestic violence, pedophilia, sexism, racism, gambling, and gun violence.   Sources:   Casablanca movie review.

This week's pick is another Golden Age Hollywood classic from our own golden-haired, Hollywood girl herself.  Tune in as Hannah tests the theory of if Gentlemen [really do] Prefer Blondes or if it's all just ticklish business any way you look at it.  While the boys may have been enamored with the bombshell duo of Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe, Hannah definitely had some tricks up her sleeve with some of those musical numbers.  Will the boys finally learn to do pre-show research?  So far only our resident historian, Garrett, has taken up that mantle as he delves into the basis for the movie: the 1949 stage production by the same name.  And while there may have been some initial grumblings, this Howard Hawk's classic never fails to disappoint with some iconic numbers and bewitching performances by just two [legendary] girls from Little Rock.  No one will ever mistake our krewe for being gentlemen, but we know at least a couple who may indeed prefer blondes.  Show notes: This episode contains mentions of the following; Drinking, Smoking, Sexual Assault, Necrophilia, and Drugs/Date-Rape

Cary Grant, it's impossible to imagine the silver screen without him. The embodiment of all the charm of the Golden Age Hollywood. We had great fun talking about two films that Grant made his own with his fast-talking style and dapper flair. His Girl Friday (1940) is one of the perfect examples of the screwball comedy genre. Grant plays a cunning newspaper man with an eye for achieving success both with his paper and his heart. North by Northwest (1959) on the other hand is a gripping spy thriller. It is arguably one of the most famous movies ever in the careers of both Grant and director Alfred Hitchcock.

The beloved Irish comedian discusses her secret star crush, her Eighties movie upbringing, woollen fashions and suggests bringing in a bit of Golden Age Hollywood talent. “I don't throw George's girls to the sharks. Not anymore. There's not enough sharks.” Enjoy the pod if not the boring cash-in.

When one of the two hosts of Guys Who Like Musicals comes to talk on my show, what the hell ELSE should we talk about?! MUSICALS! DUH!  Broadway's Dan Tracy stops by to talk about some of our favorite Movie Musicals, and what we think they should do when they inevitably make the movie version of Hamilton...  Whether its the earliest of Golden Age Hollywood, or as recent as the film versions of In the Heights and Wicked, we are talking all things movie musicals and I feel like we barely scratched the surface of this topic, so be sure that we'll be bringing Dan back to talk some more in the future. For now, go ahead and take a listen and be sure to check out Dan on his podcast Guys Who Like Musicals wherever you like to listen to....well....this podcast.

Chris and Alex take to the basketball court for a sports-themed instalment of the podcast by looking at Space Jam (Joe Pytka, 1996), the part-animated, part-Michael Jordan sports comedy that has lots to say about the spectacle of stylistic hybridity, animation’s longstanding relationship to sport, and nostalgia via its many callbacks to Golden Age Hollywood cartooning all through the lens of NBA basketball. Joining them for Episode 70 is Professor Paul Wells, who is Director of the Animation Academy at Loughborough University, as well as being an internationally established scholar, screenwriter and director, working across and within both academia and industry contexts. Paul’s work has been central to the study, practice and research of animation as a field, and he has also written and directed numerous projects for theatre, radio, television and film. Listen as they discuss Space Jam as a laboratory for thinking about sport as a social metaphor for how societies should run; animation’s status as controlled drama (versus the unscripted nature of sport); notions of the professional versus the amateur in relation to sport’s rules, codes and conventions; the cultural practice of stars Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny, and their ability to act as ciphers for the contemporary moment; how the medium provides a version of ‘perfect motion’ through its excessive lyricism; the politics of race and what Space Jam tells us about black identities and whiteness through its black musical vernacular; and how Joe Pytka’s film reveals how animation can manage the very metaphors of sport.

Welcome to Episode 28 of Vintage Sand, your Film History podcast. In this episode, Everybody Knows the Score, we explore some of the best soundtracks in the history of film. For our purposes this time out, we are focusing strictly on non-diagetic (“background”) music written for instruments and/or voice for a particular film. So we are not focusing on… • …songs written for a soundtrack. This rules out both musicals and collections ranging from Isaac Hayes’ music for Shaft to Aimee Mann’s original songs for Magnolia. • …curated collections of songs by various artists. We call this the T-Bone Burnett Rule. Choosing songs for a film is an art in itself, and such directors as Scorsese, Tarantino, both our favorite Andersons and the Coen Brothers are among the masters. A worthy endeavor if done well, but another art form entirely. • …collections of classical pieces by one composer (Manhattan, for example) or multiple composers (think 2001 and The Tree of Life) So we range from Golden Age Hollywood masters like Max Steiner, Dmitri Tiomkin and Franz Waxman, all the way through the best work being done today, from Alexandre Desplat and Carter Burwell to Reznor/ Ross and Jonny Greenwood. We also try to establish that the collaboration between director and composer can be among the most crucial in making bad films good and good ones classics. So don’t be surprised if a lot of work that these partnerships produced appears among our faves: Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Hitchcock, John Williams and Steven Spielberg/George Lucas, Nino Rota and Francis Coppola, Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone and Danny Elfman and Tim Burton, to name but a few. Fair warning—between our atrocious humming skills and copyright issues, you may not hear much actual music. But you will surely know the score.

Golden Age Hollywood , a timeless sparkle filled era full of champagne and broken dreams . Let's take a ride to old Hollywood and dive into the tragic death of Peg Entwistle , also known as The Ghost of the Hollywood sign .

"The Coen Brother's One for Ozy" Yes, yes we know the Coen Brother's already made "Hail, Caesar!" but this is our elseworlds, multiverse, switcheroo of what movie they could have made if it was about classic Golden Age Hollywood! And what an awesome movie it is! This is Coen Brothers + Golden Age Hollywood and it's a ton of fun (the second quickest we've crack one of these story puzzles). How great!

Stagecoach is a film that revived the Western as a film genre, solidified John Ford as one of the iconic Western directors, and made John Wayne into a star. It's also a strong ensemble feature that boasts gripping action scenes, gorgeous shots of Monument Valley, tight editing, layered characterization, and defining performances from Claire Trevor, Andy Devine, and Thomas Mitchell. Ryan is joined by Rachel for this look at one of the defining gems of Golden Age Hollywood. This is the first Western covered by Reel Deep Dive, so there's some dialogue about how Western cinema helped craft an American mythology (and how those myths clash with actual history). Other points of discussion include Stagecoach's depictions of sex workers, Civil War veterans, bankers, and alcoholics. Since this is the movie that made John Wayne famous, Rachel and Ryan also talk about Wayne's complex legacy as an idol of traditional American masculinity, ranging from the development of his screen persona to his infamous Playboy interview. Rachel, being Rachel, also contributes a godawful John Wayne impression and a comparison between Stagecoach and Gilligan's Island. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ryan-valentine3/support

What?  Circa Sunday Night has actually made it to 10 episodes?  It's a good thing podcasts aren't canceled like TV shows!  Well,10 episodes may not seem like much of a milestone, but to Jennifer it's HUGE!  When she first decided to jump into podcasting, even putting together one show was an overwhelming prospect.  Now, if someone is so inclined (but honestly, who would be?) he or she could listen to Jennifer gab away for more than 10 hours straight. Goodness.  Anyway, we're going back to Hollywood tonight (no, not for more Jean Harlow!).  We're going to meet a woman who was one of the most important screenwriters of the 20th century: Anita Loos.  But she wasn't just a screenwriter, she spent a lifetime writing: memoirs, how-to books, and novels, too.  In fact, she wrote was has been called "A Great American Novel," Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.  Tonight we'll take an in-depth look at that book.  We'll also spend some time with one of her wonderful short stories, learn how to write a treatment for film, and more!  Of course, we'll wrap up as we always do, with Jennifer sharing with us her Favorite Thing of the Week.Notes and Links for Tonight's ShowThe New York Hat (1912)Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes by Anita LoosAnita Loos: A Biography by Gary CareyAnita Loos Rediscovered: Film Treatments and Fiction by Anita Loos by Cari Beauchamp and Mary Anita LoosWikipedia entry on Anita LoosPsychology Today blog discussion:  Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes?  How to Write a Film Treatment tips from the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and TelevisionThe Women (1939)Gaslight (1944)Explore Circa 19xx LandMeet the podcasterCheck out the Circa19xx Pinterest Page, and the show board for this episodeVisit Circa 19xx LandThe Circa-19xx Facebook Page

It was also a fishing retreat for Clark Gable and other Golden Age Hollywood notables — and, earlier, a place for cowboys to crash. (Wolf Creek, Josephine County; 1910s) (For text and pictures, see http://www.offbeatoregon.com/H1004aa_WolfCreekTav.html)

It turns out Jennifer wasn't quite ready to say goodbye to Jean Harlow. Since our last episode Jennifer read Harlow's one and only novel, Today is Tonight, and...goodness.  There's a lot to talk about right there.  Today is Tonight is a rare book, long out of print, so there isn't a lot of information available on the Internet about it.  In tonight's episode we take a little stroll through that novel, lingering around some of the more embarrassing passages.  Jennifer then profiles Harlow's signature piece of jewelry--and a super cute item of Harlow's that was up for auction a few years ago.  And, of course, there's Saratoga, Jean Harlow's last film.  Jennifer couldn't bring herself to watch it for our last episode ("It's just too sad!"), but she grabbed a box of tissues and watched it from start to finish.  Would you believe Harlow's last line in that film--or any film--is "goodbye"?  We say farewell, too, but not before Jennifer shares her impressions of Jean Harlow's final romantic comedy.  We wrap it all up with Jennifer's Favorite Thing of the Week.Episode 8 - More with Ms. Harlow Show NotesCheck out the Circa19xx Pinterest Page, where you'll find the show board for this episodeMeet the podcasterVisit Circa 19xx LandThe Circa-19xx Facebook Page

Meet Kansas City's hometown superstar!  And no, we're not talking about Jennifer.  Tonight's episode is all about Jean Harlow.  In the 1930s, she was the biggest star around-- but what was she really like?  Jennifer examines Harlow's life (and tragic early death) through her films and her storied legend.  Come along as we jump in the Circa 19xx time machine for a tour of the 1930s Hollywood studio system, learn beauty tips from studio style gurus from that era, hear Jennifer's take on her favorite Harlow film, Libeled Lady, and, drift off to dreamland as Jennifer performs a dramatic reading of a short, short-story written by--it's true!--Ms. Harlow herself!  This episode is packed full of stuff, so pour a glass of wine, put up your feet, and get comfortable.  Tonight we're visiting the original Blond Bombshell!  Oh, and, of course, we wrap up with Jennifer's Favorite Thing of the Week.Episode 7 - Jean Harlow, The Girl from Missouri Show NotesCheck out the Circa19xx Pinterest Page, where you'll find the show board for this episodeMeet the podcasterVisit Circa 19xx LandThe Circa-19xx Facebook Page

Near the end of the American New Wave a group of filmmakers burst on Hollywood with a distinct style and they have since been named "The Movie Brats." Today Alex and Jonathan discuss three films from this group: Jaws (1975), Apocalypse Now (1979), The Untouchables (1987). We talk about how Golden Age Hollywood and the American New Wave impacted these films, the innovations brought to the table by the Brats, and how these directors pointed cinema to the current era of blockbusters. Skip to: 6:44 – Jaws 36:29 – Apocalypse Now 56:58 – The Untouchables 1:16:59 – Overall 1:32:27 – Coming Attractions Coming Attractions: The Night of the Hunter (1955) The Silence of the Lambs (1991) Zodiac (2007) For more information, visit the blog: https://thefilmlings.wordpress.com/2020/07/07/movie-brats/ Support the Show!

Jacques Demy's beloved musical sensibilities brought to France the style and glamour of Golden Age Hollywood extravagance with the grace and grounded human elements embodied by the French New Wave of the 1960s. With The Umbrellas of Cherbourg he took the emotional intent of the musical format to the next level by not only coating the film in a candy-colored, dreamlike cinematic look, but by maintaining the emotional grandeur of the format by translating all the film's dialogue into song. The conventions of rhyming lyrics or melodic variance matter not in this operatic ode to young love, as the film is an artistic reflection of reality rather than the overly fantastical incarnations of its Hollywood counterparts. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a beautiful, dreamy, but simultaneously grounded work of musical magic from an international legend, and one that influences and delights many of the filmmakers of today. 0:00: Release the Ambersons Cut and the culture of Revision 7:38: Tenet: new trailer and the weight of the rest of the year 13:33: Mythic Quest: creating new work in quarantine 16:31: The Vast of Night 19:44: Capone 25:27: Umbrellas of Cherbourg

Jennifer discovered, and fell in love with, a new (old) movie, and now she's dying to talk about it.  The movie is Marty, the Academy Award-winning film staring Ernest Borgnine in the title role.  Who knew Borgnine was such an amazing actor?  Well, apparently everyone but Jennifer.  He won an Oscar for this role, and he plays it so movingly and sweet that you just want to step inside that world and befriend him.  Anyway, tonight's show is an homage to Marty, but there are other segments thrown into the mix on "How to Watch a Movie," and the five essential parts of a story.  There's also a (very brief) history of the Academy awards. Of course, the show concludes with Jennifer's Favorite Thing of the Week.  Episode 2 Show Notes: Golden Age Hollywood - MartyMeet the PodcasterVisit Circa 19xx Land

So, that plan to build up to No Time to Die went well, didn't it? Nevertheless, we're pressing on, with Mark reviewing George Lazenby's sole turn as Bond in the much-misunderstood On Her Majesty's Secret Service. This was worth it if only for the Dick Van Dyke anecdote. Before that, we've got another point on the most competitive grading curve in Hollywood (well, apart from Paul Thomas Anderson) as we ask where Onward fits into Pixar's canon. Relax: this tale of two elven brothers on a quest for one more day with their dad is not Cars 2. And Mick drops by to review Eureka Video's Syncopation, a newly reissued jazz drama from Golden Age Hollywood auteur William Dieterle.
