The Island Magic of Being Invisible(A Song for My Partners)Six months later,a thought occurred to me;Writing for Youtube is like writingfor radio and TV.Every writer has at their disposalthe same techniques and tools;microphones, sound effectsand cameras of every kind.But if you will succeedyou must limit yourselfto the microphone of your keystrokes;the sound effects and cameras of your mind.When we hear the words of Shakespearethey become music in our ear,and when we hear Robert Frostwe are no longer lost.Those rhythms, mental music,and refrainsremind me of the languageof the Bible of King James.So what now,shall we do?I will try to imitate themand you will, too.We will write wordsfor television and radio.We will tell stories and our clientswill get rich you know.We will write essaysand teach everything we show.People will rememberwhat we taught thembut forget who told themthat it was so.We will write songsthat make singerscomprehensible.But we ourselveswill always be invisible.Why do we do this,you and I?We do itbecause we have to,we don't needto know why.We do it becausewe feel compelled.Writing is the only timewe don't feellike we should be doingsomething else.Roy H. WilliamsPennie and I were in New York 40 years ago for ArtExpo in the Jacob K. Javits Center. We spent 3 days looking at more than 10,000 pieces of pieces of art and meeting many hundreds of artists as we walked those 500,000 square feet together. At the end of the show we went home with only 3 pieces, all of which were purchased from a relatively unknown Israeli artist named Reudor Gratch.We invited Reudor and his wife, Effie, to dinner that night at “One if By Land, Two if By Sea” in Greenwich Village. We had an incredible evening with them.The next day, I picked up a newspaper when I noticed that one of the serigraphs we had purchased from Reudor was one of only THREE pieces of art the newspaper had photographed for their review of that year's ArtExpo.You can see it at the top of this page.

Dana and Tom, for their 325th episode, revisit Casablanca (1942) and Rear Window (1954) to break the tie between them. Who will come out on top?Casablanca Plot Summary: In the exotic melting pot of Casablanca during World War II, Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a jaded and enigmatic American expatriate, runs a swanky nightclub that attracts a colorful cast of characters seeking refuge from the chaos of war.When a mysterious and beautiful woman from his past, Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman), walks into his club with her husband, resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), Rick's life takes an unexpected turn. As the flames of romance reignite, Rick finds himself torn between personal desires and a higher sense of duty forcing him to navigate a treacherous web of loyalty, love, and sacrifice.Rear Window Plot Summary: In Rear Window, we find ourselves confined within the claustrophobic confines of a Greenwich Village apartment, peering through the lens of LB Jefferies (James Stewart), a wheelchair-bound photographer. His summer pastime is a voyeuristic venture into the lives of his neighbors, a cross-section of urban archetypes played out in the building's courtyard. Each window frames a fragment of humanity, from the lonely Miss Lonelyhearts to the tantalizing Miss Torso.The plot pivots on Jeff's suspicion that a neighbor, Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr), has murdered his wife. This suspicion, shared and fueled by his glamorous girlfriend Lisa (Grace Kelly) and his nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter), drives the narrative forward. Hitchcock masterfully crafts tension not through action, but through the act of watching—turning the audience into voyeurs complicit in Jeff's obsessions.Chapters:00:12 Introduction to the Tiebreaker01:13 Cast, Background, and Plot Summary for Casablanca05:51 Discussing Casablanca09:50 Cast, Background, and Plot Summary for Rear Window13:48 Personal Relationship(s) with Casablanca and Rear Window18:46 Why Are These Two Films Enduring Classics?24:06 What is Casablanca About?29:10 Comparing the Masterwork Levels of Both Films30:54 GMOAT HOF Nominations - August 202633:01 First Break34:49 Tiebreaker - Legacy39:43 Tiebreaker - Impact/Sgifnicance45:15 Tiebreaker - Novelty49:36 Second Break50:14 In Memoriam53:04 Tiebreaker - Classicness57:08 Tiebreaker - Rewatchability59:47 Tiebreaker - Audience Score and Final Decision01:02:30 Final Thoughts01:05:47 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/casablanca-1942-v-rear-window-1954For the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:Casablanca, Rear Window, classic films, movie analysis, Alfred Hitchcock, film history, cinematic techniques, movie ratings, film discussions, greatest movies, cinema, classic films, Casablanca, Rear Window, film analysis, art, human emotions, historical tidbits, voyeurism, iconic performances, film discussion, movie reviews, podcast, cinema, classic films, Alfred Hitchcock, Dexter, anniversary, film analysis, entertainmentRonny Duncan Studios

Hollywood And Horsepower Show with Mark Otto From Casablanca to the Cutting Room with guests Michael Blowen and Buck Wilson From Casablanca to the Cutting Room: Hollywood Stories, Movie Legends, and the Restaurants That Remember Summary Hollywood's Vanishing Creative Community Marc Otto welcomes former Boston Globe film critic Michael Blowen and movie enthusiast Buck Wilson for a wide-ranging conversation about classic cinema, studio culture, and the relationships that shaped Hollywood history. Blowen describes the old studio environment as a working community where writers, actors, directors, and critics could form genuine relationships and help one another. His memories of John Huston, Jack Nicholson, Julius J. Epstein, and the storytellers gathered at Epstein's Beverly Hills dinners reveal a Hollywood built as much on conversation and trust as on formal production. The guests contrast that atmosphere with a modern industry they see as more controlled, compartmentalized, and promotional. They also emphasize that conflict on a set was not necessarily a sign of failure, because strong films could emerge from arguments, creative tension, and competing ideas. Throughout the discussion, collaboration is presented as one of the essential forces behind enduring entertainment. Why Casablanca Became an Evergreen Casablanca becomes the central thread of the episode because it is the favorite movie of both Marc and Buck and is closely connected with Michael's friendship with screenwriter Julius J. Epstein. Michael explains that the screenplay was created through a collaborative studio process involving Julius and Philip Epstein, Howard Koch, Casey Robinson, and other contributors. He recalls that Epstein regarded it as simply another studio assignment and was surprised by its later cultural importance. The group discusses Harvard screenings, the film's gradual growth after its initial release, its memorable dialogue, its wartime themes, and the layered moral conflict beneath its romantic story. Marc also describes production documents and budget information that Michael shared with him, including cast and writer salaries and disputes over the film's moral implications. Their conversation presents Casablanca as a movie whose reputation grew because its writing, performances, music, editing, historical moment, and accidental creative discoveries all came together. Movies That Found Their Audience Later The guests explore how many famous movies were not immediate successes and only later became classics. Michael points to Casablanca, A Christmas Story, and Citizen Kane as films that developed audiences through rereleases, television, college traditions, or long-term critical appreciation. Marc describes his own delayed appreciation of Citizen Kane and compares the experience to learning to hear the complexity of the Beatles. Buck openly says he still does not like Citizen Kane, leading to a discussion of the intangible qualities that make a work connect with one viewer but not another. The episode also touches on Tommy Boy, Three Men and a Little Lady, Home Alone, Billy Jack, The Born Losers, and The Pope of Greenwich Village. Together, these examples show how timing, competition, distribution, cultural context, and personal perspective can matter as much as opening-weekend performance. Deals, Theme Songs, and Unexpected Fortunes The conversation moves behind the business side of entertainment through stories about contracts, percentages, music rights, and studio employment. Buck recounts how Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne created “Three Coins in the Fountain” with almost no information and later discovered that no one had secured the studio's ownership of the song. Michael tells how Alec Guinness accepted a percentage of Star Wars and later said the decision paid for his retirement. He also recalls Richard Brooks narrowly missing the chance to purchase lifetime rights to “Rock Around the Clock” for an additional $500. Marc adds the story of the Cheers theme song becoming an iconic last-minute replacement. These anecdotes reinforce the episode's recurring idea that small decisions, overlooked details, and unplanned substitutions can become some of the most important parts of entertainment history. Restaurants as Places Where Stories Live After Michael leaves, Marc and Buck connect Hollywood history with restaurants, travel, friendship, and personal memory. They discuss Musso & Frank Grill, The Brown Derby, The Palm, St. Elmo Steak House, Malone's, Win Schuler's, Eddie Merlot's, and Tony's Steak and Seafood as places tied to careers, family experiences, relationships, and memorable evenings. Buck recalls disliking formal restaurant outings as a child before learning to appreciate the Brown Derby, while Marc describes teaching his children the etiquette they absorbed from dining with adults. Buck tells the story of marrying Trina during a dinner in the wine cellar at St. Elmo, and Marc explains why The Palm Miami and Eddie Merlot's carry emotional significance for him. The discussion suggests that restaurants often serve as unofficial clubhouses where people decompress after work, exchange stories, form relationships, and preserve the social bonds of an industry. The Invisible Art That Saves a Film The episode closes with Buck's story about a deleted scene from Save the Tiger that Jack Lemmon considered some of his best acting. Although the scene was powerful on its own, it was removed because it interrupted the film's momentum, illustrating the discipline required to sacrifice strong material for the larger work. Marc expands the point by describing editing as an underappreciated art equal in importance to acting and cinematography. He notes that filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Judd Apatow are valued for their ability to recognize useful pieces and assemble them into a coherent whole. The traditional phrase “cutting-room floor” becomes a reminder of the physical process by which film was once cut and spliced. The closing lesson is that audiences often experience only the finished harmony, while the choices, arguments, discarded scenes, and invisible craftsmanship behind it remain untold.

Today in 1887, the birthday of Marcel Duchamp. He was both an accomplished artist and an artistic provocateur, like the time he released a “new” work of art that was a reproduction of the Mona Lisa, on which he had painted a mustache.

n zijn nieuwe theatervoorstelling Wachten op Marsha – een productie van Raymi Sambo Maakt en coproducent ITA – komt een groep queer activisten, in navolging van de historische Stonewall-rellen, in opstand tegen de toenemende pesterijen en het stijgende geweld. Greenwich Village, New York, 1969. De Metropolitan Police ontruimt de Stonewall In, een bar vol kleur, muziek en vrijheid. Na jaren van treiterijen en geweld door de politie besluiten de bezoekers – drag queens en activisten, onder wie de iconische Marsha P. Johnson – terug te vechten voor hun bestaan. Dit is het begin van de Stonewall-rellen. Nooit eerder boden homo's en travestieten in de Verenigde Staten in zulke aantallen weerstand tegen de vernederingen van de politie. Juni werd Pride-maand en wereldwijd werden vervolgens jaarlijks Gay Pride Parades gehouden, waarop de queergemeenschap strijdt voor gelijke rechten. Nu, meer dan vijftig jaar later, staan queer rechten opnieuw onder druk. In Wachten op Marsha wil een groep queer activisten, onder leiding van Marvan, de World Pride 2026 kapen om aandacht te vragen voor de toenemende pesterijen en het stijgend geweld tegen hen. De pacifistische Marvan voelt de groeiende druk van de groep om niet te zwichten voor wat er op hen komt. Hun vrijheid moet koste wat het kost beschermd worden. Maar hoe ver moeten ze hierin gaan? Wachten op Marsha gaat donderdag 30 juli tijdens Pride in premiėre, in ITA in Amsterdam. De voorstelling toert vervolgens van 25 september t/m 17 december door het land.

Jesse Rifkin in conversation with David Eastaugh https://walkonthewildsidenyc.com/about https://www.amazon.co.uk/This-Must-Be-Place-Community/dp/1335449329 Take a walk through almost any neighborhood in Manhattan and you'll likely pass some of the most significant clubs in American music history. But you won't know it--almost all of these venues have been demolished or repurposed, leaving no record of what they were, how they shaped music scenes or their impact on the neighborhoods around them. Traditional music history tells us that famous scenes are created by brilliant, singular artists. But dig deeper and you'll find that they're actually created by cheap rent, empty space and other unglamorous factors that allow artistic communities to flourish. The 1960s folk scene would have never existed without access to Greenwich Village's Washington Square Park. If the city hadn't gone bankrupt in 1975, there would have been no punk rock. Brooklyn indie rock of the 2000s was only able to come together because of the borough's many empty warehouse spaces. But these scenes are more than just moments of artistic genius--they're also part of the urban gentrification cycle, one that often displaces other communities and, eventually, the musicians themselves. Drawing from over a hundred exclusive interviews with a wide range of musicians, deejays and scenesters (including members of Peter, Paul and Mary; White Zombie; Moldy Peaches; Sonic Youth; Treacherous Three; Cro-Mags; Sun Ra Arkestra; and Suicide), writer, historian and tour guide Jesse Rifkin painstakingly reconstructs the physical history of numerous classic New York music scenes. This Must Be the Place examines how these scenes came together and fell apart--and shows how these communal artistic experiences are not just for rarefied geniuses but available to us all.

For the twenty-fifth installment of “50 Weeks That Shaped America” we go to June 1969, and New York City's Greenwich Village. Police raids on the Stonewall Inn, one of the main gay bar's in NYC, were fairly common. But for a number of reasons, on the night of June 28th, patrons had finally had enough. They pushed back on the police, a crowd formed, someone (maybe?) threw a brick, and a key moment in the gay rights movement was sparked. We talk about the larger context of activism that set the stage for Stonewall, what went down that night — and how the story of Stonewall is contested in ways that reveal a lot about how movements grow and shift.Join our America250 newsletter community!

Reisen Reisen - Der Podcast mit Jochen Schliemann und Michael Dietz

Ein neuer Blick auf die Mutter aller Städte: Giulia Becker und Chris Sommer in New York City. Ausgerechnet die Drinnies, möchte man meinen. Aber das passt: Die beiden kennen New York City sehr gut, haben dort sogar schon live auf der Bühne gestanden. Im neuen Reisen-Reisen-Podcast-Studio entwickelte sich ein wundervolles, lustiges und auch nachdenkliches Gespräch über einen Ort, der so vieles ist: einerseits eine der Hauptstädte dieser Welt, andererseits gelegen in einem gerade alles andere als einfachen Land. Sollte man derzeit in die USA reisen? Auch darüber sprechen wir mit Giulia und Chris. Und über dieses Kribbeln, diese Sehnsucht, die wir alle vier spüren, wenn wir den Namen dieses Ortes hören. Die Blicke auf Manhattan und Brooklyn, die Fahrten auf den riesigen Brücken. Giulia und Chris berichten zudem von Besuchen in Jazz- und Comedy-Clubs, in Musicals, in Harlem und von diesen krassen Gegensätzen zwischen Arm und Reich, die man einfach nicht übersehen kann. Wir sprechen auch über den neuen Bürgermeister der Stadt, der die Hoffnung eines ganzen Landes ist.

Between 50-75% of my friends died of AIDS. I was trying to figure out what had happened to our community.Today we meet Gabriel Rotello and we're talking about the queer book that saved his life: Gay New York by George Chauncey.Gabriel Rotello is an Emmy-nominated and GLAAD Award-winning writer, director, producer, journalist and musician. He published his nonfiction book in 1997: Sexual Ecology: AIDS and the Destiny of Gay Men. In 1989 he launched OutWeek Magazine as its editor-in-chief. In 1993, he became the first openly gay op-ed columnist for a major American newspaper, New York Newsday. He was also a columnist for The Advocate. For almost three decades, Gabriel has written, directed and produced dozens of television documentaries for HBO, Netflix, National Geographic, and Comedy Central.Gay New York brilliantly shatters the myth that before the 1960s gay life existed in the closet, where all gay men were isolated, invisible, and ashamed. Based on years of research in diaries, letters, newspaper stories, and police reports, George Chauncey describes the saloons, speakeasies, and streets where queer men gathered; the intimate parties and immense drag balls where they celebrated; the highly visible residential enclaves they built in Greenwich Village, Harlem, and Times Square; and the complex prewar sexual culture they inhabited, which did not divide men into heterosexuals and homosexuals.George Chauncey is the DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University and previously taught at Yale and the University of Chicago.Connect with Gabrielwebsite: gabrielrotello.comOur BookshopVisit our Bookshop for new releases, current bestsellers, banned books, critically acclaimed LGBTQ books, or peruse the books featured on our podcasts: bookshop.org/shop/thisqueerbookBuy your copy of Gay New York here: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9781541699212Buy your copy of The CBGB Conspiracy: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9798888249093Become an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

For the twelfth episode of “50 Weeks That Shaped America” we go to 1911 and the massive fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. The fire started on the 8th floor, spread to the 9th and 10th, and would lead to deaths of almost 150 people, mostly poor women who worked in the factory. This fire took place during an era of growing labor reform, and the tragedy — which took place with many of the city's elite literally watching in person — galvanized calls for better workplace conditions. We get into the details of the fire, the strange political alliances that were forged during that time, and whether the era of reform in the 1910s and 1920s can signal anything about the moment we're in right now.Join our America250 newsletter community!

Why are the streets of Manhattan's West Village so unusually charming and romantic? Why does it make such an excellent place for a night out in New York City? Why is the real estate so expensive? And when did it become a distinct place separate from Greenwich Village? We hope to get to the bottom of these questions in the first part of our epic new limited series on the history of the West Village. People have been living in this region of Manhattan Island for centuries -- first the Lenape, then the Dutch, who gave the area its distinctive name ("Groenwijck"). During the English colonial period, several large estates were developed here, and their memories survive today in certain street names -- like Christopher Street. By the 19th century, the fear of yellow-fever epidemics in the crowded city south of here brought new residents, new housing development -- and new streets, built every which way, conforming to hills, farms, and private property. It immediately clashed with the city's plan for an organized Grid Plan of streets and avenues. The result is a bewildering map that often seems to bend space and time (as at the intersection of West 4th and 11th Streets).
