Send us a textSPECIAL NOTE: SEASON 15 OF THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY CELEBRATES THE USE OF THE PRACTICAL AND DIGITAL EFFECT KNOWN AS THE SQUIB. IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.  This week TGTPTU covers the film Elephant, no not the 2000s school-shooter mood piece by Gus Van Sant filmed in Portland, OR and covered previously and paired with Scarface (1983, not the earlier, black-and-white 1932 Howard Hawkes version) in Episode 8 of this Squib Season (it's Season 15 after all, not Season 14's Redux where the hosts covered films already covered) but, rather, the 39-minute, made-for-British-TV short film directed by Alan Clarke also entitled ELEPHANT (1989).  Chosen by host Thomas for its un-celebratory violence, the film tracks with Clarke's influential, wide-angle following shots (camera, not bullet) people who shoot other people (with bullets, not cameras) in mostly silent milieus but for environmental sounds, mostly very bloody. (As mentioned by cohost Ken, and for more on this camera placement and its effects and influence on Van Sant, see this video essay on the Film & Media Studies' YouTubeTM channel: https://youtu.be/Z5B8_IDhJQo.) Produced and defended by Danny Boyle, Elephant's unspoken (again, mostly silent with dialogue barely heard in just one scene between four blokes kicking around the football toward the middle of the flick) subject is The Troubles in the UK. In what is either bravery or foolery (callers into the network after this movie aired were split), working class and Brit-born Clarke--by then a celebrated veteran of the medium of the British TV issues film--stripped the original screenplay of dialogue when making the film in order to focus on the act of gun murder as was then currently occurring. With one un-notable exception, each of the eighteen scenes of gun violence has the shooter followed into the setting where the homicide is to occur, shoot his victim, leave followed by the camera/audience, and then cut back to silent moments of each murdered man filling the frame with his recently un-lifed corpse.  Elephant would be Clarke's penultimate work, with The Firm (no, not the adaption of the John Grisham novel that gave Holly Hunter the nom for Best Supporting Actress the same year she won Best Actress for The Piano as The Firm you're thinking of is by Sydney Pollack) also shot for British television and aired in 1989 as his final. Clarke would cross the pond to see if he could sell out in America (according to Ken) and die in 1990 at the age of 54.  The film resoundingly fails the Bechdel test.  Host Ryan calls Clarke a coward.  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

El programa comienza con la escritora, poeta y periodista peruana Gabriela Wiener, que llega acompañada de Maielis González para hablar de Sudakasa. Este espacio se configura como una residencia artística destinada a mujeres migrantes, un lugar donde desarrollar proyectos que muchas veces no encuentran cabida en los grandes circuitos ni en las instituciones culturales. De esta experiencia surge el libro 'Siembra: Relatos de vidas Migra', publicado por Sudakasa Ediciones, que recoge historias nacidas a partir de esa convivencia y creación compartida.En la sección literaria, la actualidad pasa por Arturo Pérez-Reverte, que ha presentado 'Misión en París', la octava entrega de la saga de 'El capitán Alatriste', iniciada en 1996 y convertida en una de las series de novela histórica más populares en lengua española.El cine centra otra parte del programa con la Mostra de Venecia. Allí François Ozon estrena 'El extranjero', adaptación cinematográfica de la novela de Albert Camus, que compite por el León de Oro. Fuera de competición, Sofia Coppola debuta en el género documental con 'Marc by Sofia', una cinta sobre el diseñador Marc Jacobs, mientras Gus Van Sant presenta el thriller 'Dead Man's Wire'.

Sam Bankman-Fried - Audio Biography
From Crypto King to Prison Inmate: The Unraveling of Sam Bankman-Fried's Empire

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In just the past few days, Sam Bankman-Fried's story has continued to fascinate the world, not just from behind bars but powerfully through pop culture and persistent legal intrigue. Gus Van Sant, the celebrated American director, has confirmed plans to take on a feature film about Bankman-Fried for his next project, describing the FTX saga as “an amazing sort of car crash in the crypto world.” The news broke via The Hollywood Reporter, with Van Sant calling the tale tailor-made for cinema: fraud, eccentric living, a high-profile romance with Caroline Ellison, and a hedonistic Bahamas lifestyle, all bundled into the narrative. The prospect of Van Sant dramatizing Bankman-Fried's ascent and infamous downfall is already drawing attention ahead of the director's return to Venice Film Festival after a seven-year hiatus.Netflix is also capitalizing on the enduring public fascination, expanding the cast of its eight-episode limited series “The Altruists,” charting the personal and financial collapse of Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison. Anthony Boyle takes the role of SBF, with Julia Garner set to portray Ellison. Netflix is billing it as a story of two hyper-smart idealists who seduced each other — and together stole $8 billion. The plot won't stray into their current prison stint but promises to explore the blurred lines between romance and con artistry that so many believe defined FTX's inner workings.Meanwhile, daily life for Bankman-Fried is decidedly less glamorous. Recent coverage in Cointelegraph confirms that he has been transferred yet again, now residing in the low-security Terminal Island federal correctional institution. Although speculation about his safety and potential moves persists, crypto analysts and prison consultants agree that conditions at Terminal Island are a notable downgrade in terms of violence compared to the notorious Victorville medium-security facility, suggesting he may face fewer threats for now.Legal ripples continue. Federal prosecutors, as reported by AOL, are still considering new evidence tied to alleged campaign finance violations on top of the seven fraud and conspiracy counts that landed him a 25-year sentence just months ago. And Caroline Ellison, his ex-girlfriend and former CEO of Alameda Research, has reignited headlines claiming Bankman-Fried sent a $100 million bribe to Chinese officials, although this remains unconfirmed and hinges on sealed court evidence.On social media, Bankman-Fried's presence is mainly as a subject. Instagram posts have referenced him in satirical works alongside Diddy and Luigi Mangione, adding to his growing mythos but offering little in the way of direct communication from SBF himself. Brooklyn's administrative jail has become an unlikely hotspot, with three high-profile figures reportedly held there simultaneously, inspiring at least one recent musical parody.Finally, political reverberations from Bankman-Fried's collapse linger, as FTX's legacy of campaign donations still shapes debates in Washington. OpenSecrets and Portside have tracked an explosion in crypto lobbying, with Bankman-Fried's old firm FTX still cited among the biggest contributors. While Bankman-Fried himself remains behind bars, his fingerprints on the intersection of tech money and political influence are felt with each legislative maneuver.In short, as Sam Bankman-Fried settles into his new prison environment, Hollywood and Silicon Valley still hustle to claim his story, and prosecutors circle ever closer for the final act.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY WILL DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.   This week, a pleasant return to cinema gun violence (after last week's entry of Gus Van Sant's school shooter film Elephant) as TGTPTU covers John Woo's American directorial début HARD TARGÈT (1993). The pod's temporal pincer movement again gets fudged this pairing to bring to you a Lance Henriksen double feature (next week's The Terminator), skipping the late- and mid90s (good film, btw, but Jonah Hill uses no squibs in his 2018 directorial début so it won't be covered during Season 15) and Way of the Gun (covered in a future pairing and now's not the time or place for reactions).    Hard Targét features Jean-Claude Van Damme in the rôle of Chance Boudreaux, a spicy Cajun seamen stranded and out of work needing $$$ so he can pay dues to ship out again and a former military badass and nephew to Coonass bootlegger Uncle Clarence Douvée played by Wilford Brimley who enters over halfway through the film in an almost surprise cameo appearance that outstays its welcome until the happy ending in a Mardi Gras float storage facility deep in the bayou where the final standoff between gooddée JCVD against baddée Henriksen (playing an inflammable globetrotting businessman in the business of orchestrating homeless veteran hunts) results in his (Brimley's) seeming death only to be saved by his flask (yay!) but loses the last of his final stills batch (sad!) before the abrupt conclusion of the film. Oh, and there's a woman character played by Yancy Butler looking for her daddée, whom we learned was homeless and we learn was played by the writer of the film in its opening manhunting scene. If you haven't surmised, the plot is basically “The Most Dangerous Game” minus the island and Cossack and charm of the short story and adding in Woo's vision of a Western and JCVD's kicks (but, sadly, no splits).   The majority of Henrickson's performance in what was written and shot to be a two-hander was cut out (just like 70% of the digressions and Frenchifications in this week's Show Notes), allegedly, by JCVD who worked with his own editor because, at the fin de la journée, this is a JCVD film and il est “aware.” (For Francophiles, please search the video interview of JCVD entitled “Jean-Claude Van Damme ‘Aware'”.)  Listen this week to hear if host and Brimley fan Ryan will remained un-Woo'ed after seeing his Quaker Oats forever old riding a horse; see how easily host Tom is derailed by mention of Buffy the Vampire Slayer; and find out if any of Ken's conspiracy theories are what have gotten this podcast shadow banned yet again.    Core hosts (les deux daddées et un Zoomer) only this week as Jacque is with his stepmom and her Nugget League of Mayhem adding glitter bombs and confetti to their Mardi Gras float this week.THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY WILL DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.   Episode 8 of TGTPTU's Squib Games (Season 15) is a meditation on the film ELEPHANT (2003) written (in scare quotes) and directed by former Portland, OR native Gus Van Sant. Guest host Jack returns to discuss with Tom and Ken, each a generation on either side of the Columbine H.S. shootings, the 1999 impetus for this Van Sant slow cinema film.   Originally conceived as a HBO documentary and titled in misunderstanding as an homage to Alan Clarke's film of the same name (to be covered later this season), Van Sant's Elephant concerns a single day cut short by a school shooting as it follows different high school characters' lives leading up to the active shooting event that will conclude the film.  The picture was shot at and edited in a studio built inside a Portland, OR public school, now demolished, along host Ken's former running trail. Ken also brings to the ep extracurricular watches of the preceding JERRY (2002) and first quarter or so (more than most people can get through) of LAST DAYS (2005), the trio of which form Van Sant's “Death Trilogy,” an improvised set of mumblecore-adjacent films based on real events and made outside of the Hollywood system, all lensed by Harris Savides whose scarf in his Wikipedia profile rivals any neck covering worn by legendary scarf enthusiast and Season 11's subject Darren Aronofsky.  Follow us on the socials! Ken will follow you back, as we learn this episode that he likes to follow people. And not creepy at all! As promised in ep, Wikipedia strangely uses a photo of Ken in one of his gray suits as an image link for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LGBTQ_people_from_Portland,_Oregon. Host Ryan is off this week playing piano and videogames but will return for 1993's Hard Target.THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Backstage, historias detrás de grandes exitos www.gdsradio.com.ar Conducción Graciela Panero  Paul McCartneyGood Will Hunting (El indomable Will Hunting en España, Mente indomable en México y En busca del destino en el resto de Hispanoamérica) es una película de 1997 dirigida por Gus Van Sant. La película obtuvo nueve nominaciones a los Óscar, ganando dos de ellos: uno al mejor guion original, para Matt Damon y Ben Affleck, y el otro al mejor actor de reparto para Robin Williams.Will Hunting, de 20 años de edad y del sur de Boston, tiene un intelecto del nivel de un genio y una excelente memoria eidética; pero en lugar de explotar su talento opta por vivir una vida fácil y sin compromisos trabajando en la limpieza —quizá como ayudante del conserje— en el Instituto de Tecnología de Massachusetts, además de pasar su tiempo libre con sus amigos Chuckie Sullivan, Billy McBride y Morgan O'Mally. El combinatorista ganador de la Medalla Fields, el profesor Gerald Lambeau, plantea en la pizarra para sus alumnos un problema difícil, tomado de la teoría de grafos algebraicos, como un reto a sus estudiantes de posgrado, y el problema es resuelto rápida pero anónimamente. En realidad, fue Will quien lo resolvió. Lambeau publica un problema mucho más difícil pero Will es descubierto cuando intenta resolverlo y huye. Al mismo tiempo, durante una noche de copas con sus amigos conoce a Skylar, una estudiante británica a punto de graduarse en la Universidad de Harvard y obtener un título de posgrado en la Escuela de Medicina de la Universidad de Stanford, en California.[1]​Argumento[editar]

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!

Actress and filmmaker Heather Graham joins The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul to discuss acts of kindness throughout her lengthy career, how her new film Chosen Family helped her learn to keep people pleasing under control, holding unconditional self-love and more. HEATHER GRAHAM discovered her passion for acting at an early age and caught the attention of filmmakers with her breakout role in Gus Van Sant's DRUGSTORE COWBOY, for which she received an Independent Spirit Award nomination. Graham went on to land unforgettable roles in the 1997 classic BOOGIE NIGHTS, for which she received the MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance, in 1999's AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME and in 2009's THE HANGOVER alongside Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifinakis.  Graham has expanded into writing, directing, and producing, proving herself to be a multi-hyphenate leading talent with critically acclaimed, HALF MAGIC, a film she wrote and directed, which was released in theaters and on VOD February 2018. The raunchy, female-driven comedy follows three women set out on a hilarious search for self-fulfillment while overcoming the roadblocks in their personal and professional lives. Graham also executive produced and starred in the feature film CAKE, a romantic comedy also starring Sandra Oh and Cheryl Hines. That self-fulfillment theme, along with a throughline of people pleasing is prevalent in her latest flick - CHOSEN FAMILY. Graham wrote, directed, and starred in the rom-com, which debuted in 2024. This movie is a centerpiece to today's conversation, along with kindness, of course. In addition to more producing, up next, Graham will be featured alongside Nicolas Cage in the Western THE GUNSLINGERS.

This week the hosts discuss one of Josh's favorite movies, 1978's The Eyes of Laura Mars. From wiki: “Eyes of Laura Mars is a 1978 American neo-noir supernatural horror[3] thriller film directed by Irvin Kershner and starring Faye Dunaway, Tommy Lee Jones, Brad Dourif, René Auberjonois, and Raul Julia. It follows a New York City fashion photographer (Dunaway) who suddenly develops the clairvoyant ability to witness disturbing serial murders from the point of view of the killer. The screenplay was adapted (in collaboration with David Zelag Goodman) from a spec script titled Eyes, written by John Carpenter; it was Carpenter's first major studio film. H. B. Gilmour later wrote a novelization.”Also discussed: Hawaii, Sasquatch Sunset, Luca Guadagnino's Queer, My Own Private Idaho and the career of Gus Van Sant, American giallo, Jon Peters, Faye Dunaway, Shampoo, Personal Shopper, Blood and Black Lace, The September Issue, capelets and ponchos, Barfly, The Towering Inferno, Puzzle of a Downfall Child, Brian De Palma,  NEXT WEEK: Morgiana (1972) Follow them across the internet: Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/ Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/ Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/https://bsky.app/profile/joshuaconkel.bsky.social

The window for our Winter Commissions season is now open. Coming up this October we have shows on the first two Psycho films, (as well as touching on the ill-advised Gus Van Sant 1998 remake of the Hitchcock original.) Then a long-planned episode discussing the Horror genre in a new light. And finally on Halloween, we got us a hot, steaming bowl of Beetlejuice. Following that we have Nolan-Vember, from the makers of Cloon-June. Sharon and I will be talking about four of his films on the Main Event feed: Memento, The Prestige, Inception, Interstellar, and on the Patreon bonus feed we will have After School Clubs on Tenet, Insomnia, Following and Dunkirk. Then in December we are going back to the animated X-Men with shows about ‘97 and maybe more. So that leaves January open for four episodes chosen by four of you. Again, the standard fee is $150 for a movie, more for TV, comics or video games because of the increased time and energy investment. And as always, it's not first come, first served, it's the four we think will make for the best shows. These places tend to fill up very fast, usually within a few days, so get in touch via email, Patreon messaging, Discord, or even twitter, if anybody still uses that hellsite. And we can negotiate these shows into reality.

This is the shockingly strange but true story of a two men entering Rattlesnake Canyon and only one man leaving. What makes this case even more heartbreaking is the fact that both men combined to keep a detailed journal describing their ordeal -- including how it ended in murder.

[School of Movies 2024] For this rather special episode, we firstly welcome to the show for the first time, director Alfred Hitchcock, as we examine his most famous and most revisited film, Psycho (1960). This became the wellspring from which modern-day detective thrillers emerged. But it also has tangled roots in Horror and the grubby stepchild of its sub-genres, the slasher. While other films like Charles Laughton's Night of the Hunter (1955) and John Lee Thompson's Cape Fear (1962) -both weirdly starring Robert Mitchum- were also hugely important, Psycho was less about the stalking killer as it was a torrid dive into the swampy waters of their mind. Deriving from a 1959 novel by Robert Bloch, who lived down the road from Ed Gein as he was being arrested for trying to make a woman-suit, this story, along with Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and Thomas Harris' Silence of the Lambs (1988) assisted greatly in the lurid, pulp sensationalism of the twisted deviant killer-man-in-a-dress mythology. Despite quiet, clear, firm, researched and experienced protestations from trans folk and their allies who keep having to remind the world at large that they aren't toilet-lurking monsters. We also look at the stunningly ill-advised shot-for-shot remake of the Hitchcock film, directed in 1998 by Gus Van Sant. Superficially, these are exactly the same film, but the devil is in the details. Next week we will be returning to Bates Motel with the far less well-known, but actually pretty good Psycho II, which more pronouncedly paints Norman as a victim.

Lensing Longlegs: DP Andrés Arochi

The Cinematography Podcast

The new movie Longlegs is a psychological horror film that follows FBI Agent Lee Harker as she investigates a series of mysterious murder-suicides. The victims, all families, leave behind cryptic messages signed "Longlegs." As Harker delves deeper into the case, she uncovers a dark connection to the occult and must confront a terrifying supernatural entity. For cinematographer Andrés Arochi, technical mastery is key, but it's always in service to the story. “It has to come from something inside you that says, 'I want to create this' and then you find a technical way to do it,” he says. “For me it's always trying to be true to that instinct and to whatever feels right, and when you do it, then you're talking about yourself so it's easy to see yourself reflected.” Longlegs is Andrés' first international feature. For the past 12 years, Andrés has been working as a DP in Mexico. With no formal training, he began taking photos of friends in the music scene at age 17. Soon, he began creating projection video displays for concerts and shooting music videos and commercials. This led to work on huge music video and film sets as an on-set photographer, where he met Mexican cinematographers Guillermo Garza (the cinematographer of The Thicket), Alexis Zabé and Galo Olivares. Standing next to these skilled DPs with his camera in hand allowed Andrés to learn alongside them, and he would watch and ask questions, often copying their settings on his camera to experiment. In his spare time, Andrés would go out and practice the new techniques he learned, shooting low-budget films and music videos for friends. Fellow Mexican cinematographer Galo Olivares shot director Osgood Perkins' Gretel and Hansel, and he introduced Andrés to Perkins when the director was looking for a DP for Longlegs. Andrés was drawn to the humor in the Longlegs script, and loved that some comedy existed, even within a horror film. Unlike a lot of cinematographers and directors, Andrés and Perkins didn't create a lookbook or speak in depth about filmic references, such as Silence of the Lambs and Se7en, which were influences for Longlegs. Instead, Andrés says, “When we did talk about movies, it was more movies that had nothing to do with the genre. We talked a lot about My Own Private Idaho, Drugstore Cowboy—a lot of Gus Van Sant 1990s indie America filmmaking. Elephant was an influence on the way we used Steadicam.” One artistic reference Andrés used was The Son of Man by artist René Magritte, a painting showing a man with his face hidden by an apple. Andrés loved the idea of keeping the face of Longlegs the killer hidden at first. Andrés chose to shoot on 35mm film and in a 4:3 aspect ratio for parts of Longlegs that take place in the 1970's. “Using film changes the emotion. Everyone stays focused and shooting on film makes it necessary for everyone to rehearse. So, I decided to shoot 35mm for everything in the 1970s and go with a 4:3 aspect ratio, then we did 2.39 and shot on digital with the Alexa Mini LF for the 1990s.” During the Longlegs shoot, director Osgood Perkins wanted the film crew to use their creativity. “Oz was always encouraging the whole team, like do what you feel, you understand the movie we're doing, just do the best version of you,” says Andrés. “So I was very, very inspired, and that created the space for us to create from our hearts using the best tools we had.” Find Andrés Arochi:http://www.andresarochi.com/selected Instagram: @andresarochi Sponsored by Hot Rod Cameras: https://hotrodcameras.com/ Sponsored by Aputure: https://www.aputure.com/ The Cinematography Podcast website: www.camnoir.com Facebook: @cinepod Instagram: @thecinepod Twitter: @ShortEndz

Zac Posen is an internationally acclaimed fashion designer whose designs have been worn by Natalie Portman, Oprah Winfrey, former First Lady Michelle Obama, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Rihanna, among many others. Posen is known for his fine craftsmanship and glamorous gowns, and powerful women have historically sought him out to dress them for significant moments in their lives. Because of this, it only made sense that Ryan Murphy and Gus Van Sant called upon Posen while developing FX's Feud: Capote vs. the Swans to craft costumes for the reimagining of a real-life event: Truman Capote's 1966 Black and White Ball.
