POPULARITY
It's safe to say Mike and Keir have become obsessed with The Good German. Yes, it flopped. Yes, Soderbergh says it's his most reviled film. But we love this movie--so much so that we recorded a commentary track for it. We're giving you a free preview here; for the entire commentary visit our Patreon.

On this week's show we are seeing the world through the eyes of a ghost or at least through the eyes of Steven Soderbergh (Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Sex, Lies and video Tapes, The Good German, Magic Mike, Contagion.) The film is shot from the the POV of a ghost, in long takes on a steady cam. Did it work or is it just a feature that should have been a short?

In 2006, Steven Soderbergh released “The Good German,” a black-and-white film set in postwar Berlin, that was in dialog with one of the greatest films ever made: “Casablanca.” Is it an homage, a deconstruction—or something else entirely?

John Zmirak's new book: No Second Amendment, No First by John Zmirak Available March 19, 2024 Today's Left endlessly preaches the evils of “gun violence." It is a message increasingly echoed from the nation's pulpits, presented as common-sense decency and virtue. Calls for “radical non-violence” are routinely endowed with the imprimatur of religious doctrine. But what if such teachings were misguided, even damaging? What if the potential of a citizenry to exercise force against violent criminals and tyrannical governments is not just compatible with church teaching, but flows from the very heart of Biblical faith and reason? What if the freedoms we treasure are intimately tied to the power to resist violent coercion? This is the long-overdue case John Zmirak makes with stunning clarity and conviction in No Second Amendment, No First. A Yale-educated journalist and former college professor, Zmirak shows how the right of self-defense against authoritarian government was affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, is implied in Natural Law, and has been part of Church tradition over the centuries.

She and Daniel conduct a passionate but brief shipboard affair, but are separated as soon as the ship docks in Shanghai.

Black Forest cake, Marble Cake or Danube Waves - Germans love their cake. It is a must on Sundays with a cup of coffee. But what characterises German cakes and how can even amateur bakers make the perfect cake? Daniel Salg spoke to Veronika Rot. She is an amateur confectioner and is famous for her cakes in her home region of Franconian Switzerland. - Schwarzwälder Kirsch, Marmorkuchen oder Donauwelle – die Deutschen lieben ihren Kuchen. Sonntags gehört er mit einer Tasse Kaffee quasi zum Pflichtprogramm. Doch was macht deutschen Kuchen aus und wie gelingt die perfekte Torte auch Hobbybäckern? Darüber hat unser SBS-Korrespondent, Daniel Salg, mit Veronika Roth gesprochen. Sie ist eine Hobbykonditorin und in ihrer Heimat – der Fränkischen Schweiz – für ihre Kuchen berühmt.
Could the tumultuous times of 1920s Germany be mirrored in today's America? Our recent episodes stir the pot with a raw comparison of the rise in anti-Semitic behavior and the erosion of personal freedoms. With a lens focused sharply on historical context provided by Volker Ulrich's "Germany 1923," we dissect the stark warnings that history screams at us. We confront the chilling reality of discrimination's resurgence and the White House's unsettling silence, urging our listeners to take a stand against such injustices to prevent a repetition of the darkest times in human history.Embrace this episode as a catalyst for change—a rallying cry for us to rise above division, champion truth, and lead with conviction towards a more united future.Key Points from the Episode:As our nation grapples with its identity, we explore the dangerous territory of silent complicity, invoking Dennis Prager's insights on the "good German" syndrome. The narrative broadens to capture the stifling fear of voicing dissent in academic and professional spheres, painting a vivid picture of the consequences of censorship and the alarming sway of media influence. We reveal how major media outlets and educational initiatives, like the 1619 Project, exploit their platforms to weave divisive stories, potentially distorting the truth of our shared history.In a passionate call to action, we seek out leaders with the courage to stem the tide of radicalism threatening our society. Reflecting on Hitler's trial and the leniency that emboldened his propaganda, we draw a parallel to our current political climate and the January 6th Capitol events, probing the handling of extremism in modern times. Our dialogue is not just a recount of the past but a beacon guiding us towards unity and the revival of the American dream.

Steven Soderbergh is one of my favorite directors. That's not to say he's made my favorite movies, but rather, I admire the way he goes about selecting projects, his efficiency in getting projects done (He sometimes completes multiple movies in the same year!) , his penchant for big indulgent swings. And God, what a swing THE GOOD GERMAN is. The guy famous for the OCEAN'S ELEVEN remake and expanded trilogy decides to make his own film noir, researching '40s noir so heavily that he employs the same lenses, lighting techniques, methods of performance. The movie's detractors call this a pastiche. They're not wrong, but when I hear "pastiche," I think "lazy ripoff." Ain't nothing about this fucker lazy. Jake Geismer (George Clooney) arrives in post-WWII Berlin to find a city in ruins, split among the Allies for the spoils on the eves of the Potsdam Conference, where Harry S. Truman, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin will meet to discuss how to handle the aftermath of the war. Geismer's there to report on the conference, but becomes embroiled in a murder mystery involving his ex-flame Lena (Cate Blanchett), her new beau, an Army man-turned-smuggler named Tully (Tobey Maguire) and multiple government conspirators. All in a film's work for a noir protagonist. Look, even if a black-and-white '40s style noir isn't your thing, that cast? The director? It's a bounty of riches to play with. I'm not gonna say the movie's a masterpiece or anything, but if you think I wouldn't prefer this kind of project over the next Aquaman or Trolls movie, you're out your fuckin' mind.

In this episode of the show, we are stopping over at the Soderbergh Station to talk about The Good German. Over the course of our chat you will hear us wonder why this movie was made, if it is an elaborate experiment and a directorial challenge or a genuine attempt to tell a compelling story, George Clooney's classic leading man appeal, Cate Blanchett as a modern-day Marlene Dietrich, Tobey Maguire's cheeky energy and much more!

Joseph Kanon: Louis Latour - white Burgundy wineJoe has seen it all - he was CEO of the most prestigious publishing house in the world prior to becoming a bestselling author of spy novels including The Good German which was made into a movie starring George Clooney and Kate Blanchett. Joe talks about the history and future of the novel and the publishing business, writing for TV and film, and how to write novels of moral intrigue (what do you do when forced to chose between two wrongs?).

Week 3 of our Cate Blanchett theme month. This week we discuss the 2006 film The Good German. This is a Steven Soderbergh directed film with an all star cast. Will we like it?
Let's go to the movies!
This conversation with the American author Joseph Kanon took place in London when the novel The Good German was published. The backdrop to the story is World War II. In 2001such a war seemed a far distant nightmare that could never happen again. Surely it really could never happen because everyone knows how unthinkably bad it is. But it is happening. As Joseph says in this conversation .... who are the people who are inflicting these outrages? Do their mothers know what they are doing? Who could possibly think such outrages are justifiable?
Hilary and The Good German are back! We're talking animals, qubes, and consciousness, embodiment and emotion, landscape and economic miracles, long stares of wolves (and tenured professors), utopia of gender, and lawn bowling with Virginia Woolf.

John interviews Joseph Kanon, a former publishing executive who became a bestselling author in his 50s. Joseph's spy novels take place in the aftermath of World War II and the Cold War that followed. He published his debut novel, “Los Alamos,” in 1997, and the story of a murder set against the backdrop of the Manhattan Project won the Edgar Award for best first novel. His third novel, “The Good German,” was adapted to the big screen by director Steven Soderbergh and starred George Clooney and Cate Blanchett.Joseph's stories are told through characters navigating ethically fraught terrain. “There was a reviewer who said at one point that my books were novels of moral intrigue,” Joseph said. “And I thought it was a perfect description that I hadn't thought of, or otherwise I would have told it to the publisher, to put it on the jacket.”John and Joseph talk about his midlife career change; his tenth novel, “The Berlin Exchange,” which comes out in January; and what he's writing next.

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 they made in between. Today, Dan and Conor tackle multi-hyphenate George Clooney, and are joined by the Clooney Disciple himself to do it: friend of the podcast and publicist extraordinaire Rob Scheer! We talk about the Soderbergh remake Solaris, the Soderbergh “reimagining” of Casablanca that is The Good German, Clooney's own sports comedy Leatherheads and, finally, the criminally-underrated The American. Topics broached included Spielberg's advice to Clooney on the set of E.R., unavoidable Cary Grant comparisons, the sexiness of Out of Sight, Akira Kurosawa's thoughts on Tarkovsky's Solaris, and the failed ambition of The Good German.

In this episode, the Sodernerds discuss Bubble, the quiet masterpiece about a doll factory that no-one saw, and The Good German, Soderbergh's love letter to classical Hollywood noir.
For this episode we visit with Cate Blanchett among the ruins of 1945 Berlin in Steven Soderbergh's re-creation of a 1940s drama, The Good German. A film and performance we consider to be Blanchett's most underrated.

On this episode we continue our games (GAME NIGHT was the previous episode if you skipped that one, you jerk) but this time with THE CHASTAIN. The greatest actor of our generation, Jessica Chastain, plays a woman who runs into the greatest asshole actor of our generation, Tobey Maguire (as played by Michael Cera), and to do so we celebrate (?) two other roles this actor played that exposed him for the bag egg that he is. In Steven Soderbergh's THE GOOD GERMAN, Maguire plays a soldier taking advantage of post-war chaos, and in Sam Raimi's franchise killing SPIDER-MAN he plays a "good guy" gone bad when his girlfriend breaks up with him and he starts wearing a evil, mind-altering space suit.

Marauders and The Magnificent Seven. Television shows have frequently taken inspiration from popular movies when it comes to story telling. Some influence is subtle, and some is obvious. In a follow up to Warp Five 101, where John Tenuto and Brandon-Shea Mutala compared "Dawn" to the film Enemy Mine, we take a look at another second season episode that has inspiration from a popular film. In this episode of Warp Five, host Brandon-Shea Mutala is joined by Brandon Cowles and Michael Schindler in a discussion that compares the second season episode of Enterprise to the films Seven Samuari and The Magnificent Seven.

Mike (@mumbles3k) and Marcelo (@marcelojpico) come together to break down all of Steven Soderbergh's 28 films, covering his 28-year career, starting from his feature film debut and going all the way to Logan Lucky. In Episode 17, they discuss a Soderbergh "flop", The Good German. They discuss whether it's misunderstood or a tonally strange film through and through.
We're all used to the Technicolor realities of modern cinema by this point, but there's still more than a few examples where, either by economic necessity or stylistic preference, it's monochrome in the multiplex. Today we're looking at some notable examples, namely Pi, The Good German, Good Night and Good Luck, Schindler's List, The Mist, The Man Who Wasn't There, and La Haine.

To Americans, Hitler et al. were a confusing bunch. The National Socialists were Germans, and Germans had a reputation for refinement, industry, and order. After all, many Americans were of German descent, and they surely thought of themselves as refined, industrious, and orderly. The Nazis, however, seemed un-German in important ways: they were, apparently, racist thugs bent on destroying democracy, conquering Europe, and murdering millions of innocents in the name of “purity.” If the Nazis weren't Germans, who were they? If the Nazis were Germans–that is, had somehow sprung out of deeply German cultural roots–then who were the Germans? As Michaela Hoenicke points out in her fascinating book Know Your Enemy. American Debate on Nazism, 1933-1945 (Cambridge UP, 2009), Americans high and low thought a lot about these questions before and during the war. Their answers, as you will see, were not entirely consistent. Sometimes the Americans took the “Good German” line seriously and said that the Nazis were insane bandits who had hijacked Germany. Sometimes they identified the Nazis with the Germans, arguing that Nazism had deep roots in German culture. And at still other times they just threw up their hands.The wonderful thing about this book is that it doesn't pretend there was a monolithic “American view of the Nazis.” Instead, it demonstrates that there were a great variety of competing interpretations.The “American view of the Nazis” depended on the American you asked (FDR or a St. Louis dock worker?), what that American knew (or thought she knew), and when you put the question (1941?, 1942?, 1943?). In hindsight, it seems like “we” (meaning Americans) always understood that the Nazis were evil to the core and enjoyed considerable support among the “Good German” people. But things weren't so clear in the rush of events between 1933 and 1945. This is an excellent book, and one that should be widely read by those interested in American foreign policy, American understanding of parts foreign, and World War II.
