What happens when a disaffected young man obsessed with death and staging his own fake suicides meets an old woman with a zest for life and a habit of stealing people's cars? If you answered THEY HOOK UP, you've probably seen the movie. But Stephanie and Jake haven't, so they watched it for the very first time ever and now they are going to talk about it!

This week on The Watchers, Jodie and Andrea are talking about Harold and Maude, Hal Ashby's unconventional romance that's become a cult classic, an aesthetic touchstone, and (maybe?) the origin story of the manic pixie dream girl. We get into: why Maude might be the blueprint for the trope, and why she also transcends it. Why Harold is relatable to those of us who might delight in our melancholy, even if Maude is really who we should be putting on our vision board, the movie's deep influence on today's filmmakers (looking at you, Wes Anderson), and how Ashby originally had a very different vision for the film's soundtrack, including plans for another musician to both score the film and star in it.Recommended Reading:"A Boy of Twenty and a Woman of Eighty" By Leticia Kent"The Greatest Comedic Tragedy: How Harold and Maude Redefined Holocaust Humor" - Film CredIf you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

Written by Colin Higgins and directed by Hal Ashby, scored by Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), Harold and Maude is a wonderful piece of counter-culture from early New Hollywood, and honestly, a better ode to freedom than most of what came out of the "America Lost and Found: The BBS Story" boxset of foundational New Hollywood works we watched a few months ago.

Friday bonus episode! Actor and filmmaker Anna Maguire -- who literally gives her heart to Hamza Haq in Kim Albright's With Love and a Major Organ, opening today in theaters across Canada -- salutes another oddball romance: Hal Ashby's 1971 cult classic Harold and Maude. Your genial host Norm Wilner has the hearse all gassed up.

Hal Ashby directed some of the most touching, hilarious, and beloved motion pictures of the 1970s, and his "classic" period could rightfully be bookended with these two highly-regarded films. Equal parts poignant and comedic, Ashby's impressive early body of work is well-represented in these beautiful films.The Deep Question: If Tom Hanks is America's Dad, who is America's Mom?This Week's Features:Being There (1979)Harold and Maude (1971)

HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971) may be one of the first cult classics but is it one of the best?

In which the Mister and I check out HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971), which we caught on the TCM app.  From director Hal Ashby and writer Colin Higgins, the film tells the story of Harold (Bud Cort), a rich, young man who is obsessed with death and creating macabre scenes to elicit a response from his mother (played by Vivian Pickles).  He meets with a shrink regularly and indulges in his favorite pastime, attending funerals.  It is here that he meets 79 year old Maude (Ruth Gordon), a woman who may not have had the easiest life but who has nonetheless grabbed life with both hands and really lived it to the fullest.  The more that Harold gets to know her, the more we as a viewer see him change.  At its core its a love story about very different people finding each other and forming a wondrous bond and enjoying their precious time together.  In keeping with tonight's theme of very different takes on the love story, this film clocks in at 1 h 31 m and is rated  PG.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review. This episode of the podcast is dedicated to one of my oldest friends, a fantastic woman, an awesome friend and all around A1 human being - the lovely and amazing Suzette on her belated birthday.

Kevin is joined by Hollywood journalist and studio executive, Peter Bart.Peter Bart, Journalist and Hollywood ExecutiveOver an influential career spanning over 50 years, Peter Bart has played a key role in shaping modern Hollywood. He began as a journalist at The New York Times before becoming a studio executive at Paramount in the late 1960s and 70s, overseeing movies like The Godfather, Rosemary's Baby, and Chinatown. He later served as Editor-in-Chief of Variety for nearly 30 years. Today, Bart continues to be a prominent voice through his writing for Deadline. With his vast experience and perspective, Bart remains a living legend in the world of movies.Early career in journalism (05:16)Peter shares how he got his start in journalism by asking outrageous questions. The New York Times sent Bart to Hollywood to cover the rise of TV, but he was drawn to the fascinating economics of the movie business.Getting Into the Movie Business (08:15)Bart became friends with Bob Evans, who brought him to Paramount as head of production despite no film experience. They reinvented the studio by making artistic, character-driven films based on novels vs big-budget spectacles.Reinventing Hollywood (13:09)Bart bought rights to novels and quality scripts like The Godfather. He shares how he wanted to make it an art film, but its popularity pushed the studio to make it more commercial. Bart shares how he and Evans often made movies without studio oversight in order to take creative risks on movies like Rosemary's Baby, Paper Moon, and Harold and Maude.Drama with Frank Sinatra (22:43)Peter shares a behind-the-scenes story from Rosemary's Baby. Director Roman Polanski's demanding style angered Frank Sinatra, husband of the film's star Mia Farrow. Returning to Journalism with Variety (27:01)Bart shares that after 18 years making films, he wanted to tell the story of Hollywood's shifts - filmmaker power transitioning to dealmakers/businessmen running studios.The Future of Theatrical Films (43:09)Kevin and Peter discuss the value of the theatrical experience. As the way people watch movies is changing, Bart believes audience energy hugely enhances films. He shares how the new generation is losing out by only streaming at home.Tune in to hear Peter Bart share invaluable insights from his legendary career spanning studio executive leadership and entertainment. He provides a unique window into the reinvention of Hollywood in the 1960s and 70s, greenlighting seminal films like The Godfather. Peter makes an impassioned case for retaining the irreplaceable theatrical experience. With unmatched experience across epochs of the film industry, Peter's perspectives are a must-listen for any cinema fan.Host: Kevin GoetzGuests: Peter BartProducer:  Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, Kari CampanoFor more information about Peter Bart:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_BartDeadline: https://deadline.com/author/peter-bart/Variety: https://variety.com/author/peter-bart/For more information about Kevin Goetz:Website: www.KevinGoetz360.comAudienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678Facebook, Twitter, Instagram: @KevinGoetz360Linked In @Kevin GoetzScreen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

"[Set in England in 1980] EMPIRE OF LIGHT is a 2022 British romantic drama film written and directed by Sam Mendes. The film stars Olivia Colman, Micheal Ward, Monica Dolan, Tom Brooke, Tanya Moodie, Hannah Onslow, Crystal Clarke, Toby Jones, and Colin Firth." - Wikipedia I would say that EMPIRE OF LIGHT is not what you would expect. It starts off seemingly only focused on one subject, but blossoms into a story about two people who manage to grow through different but nevertheless similar experiences. Hilary (Olivia Colman) and Stephen (Micheal Ward) almost couldn't be any different. She's a middle-aged White woman dealing with sexual harassment on the job. Stephen is a bright, young Black man with his whole future ahead of him. Yet through a shared feeling of being abused and outcast, they build something of a relationship, albeit temporary, that changes them. It's a lovely story--with some hints of HAROLD AND MAUDE--a carefully crafted visual love letter to film, and a sympathetic portrayal of the struggles of living in a world that often refuses to acknowledge the pain, both physical and mental, of "outsiders". I was glad to see that it went more in depth about the experience of racism and understanding it from multiple points of view, rather than simply having Stephen be a one-dimensional symbol for Hilary's growth. While there is growth from her experiences with Stephen, it's mutual and is more about the ways in which shared emotions can impact each person in unexpected ways. I also enjoyed the cinematic composition of the film as much as the symbolic changes in Hilary's style of dress as she continued to inwardly transform, particularly near and at the end of the story. In this interview, Sam Mendes talks about the intricate nature of the story and the deeply personal experiences that influenced him during the writing and directing of the movie. #SamMendes #EmpireofLight #OliviaColman #MichealWard --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nancygandcorryg/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nancygandcorryg/support

Hal Ashby's counter culture cult classic rings uncomfortably true unfortunately for a lot of young men. Find out how twenty something Harold finds true love with eighty year old, happy go lucky Maude. Morbidity was never so LOL!

When pseudocidal proto-emo Harold meets his opposite, manic pixie Grandma Maude, at a funeral, both will enrich the others' lives in Hal Ashby's 1971 black comedy metaphor about the circle of life. Harold is obsessed by death, Maude by life and a blink and you'll miss it shot in the final third of the movie adds extra depth and context to its message. Bud Cort's muted, subdued and often monotone Harold is the yin to Ruth Gordon's spirited and energetic yang, and the movies pitch black sense of humour seems surprisingly modern for something which is over 50 years old. Rounded out with a strong Yusuf Islam / Cat Stevens  soundtrack and some splendid cinematography (particularly the shots of Golden Gate National Cemetery) , it seems surprising that this was so widely trashed upon release and whilst some people will be unable to get past the unavoidably bizarre nature of HAROLD AND MAUDE's romantic relationship, the fact that it continues to find an audience is proof of the films enduring appeal. A listener wanted us to check it out and we are awfully glad they did. Thanks Rachel! We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

Hal Ashby's HAROLD AND MAUDE debuted to generally poor reviews, and worse box office.  But in suburban Minneapolis, a humble second-run neighborhood theater called The Westgate found the film an audience...and helped turn it into one of the biggest cult hits of all time.Host Rico Gagliano gets the story from HAROLD AND MAUDE producer Charles Mulvehill — one of the few living members of the film's creative team — and an endearing cast of local characters who, back in 1972, found themselves part of a one-in-a-million phenomenon.To celebrate our new season of the podcast, we're partnering with the American Cinematheque to present a screening of the new 4k restoration of HAROLD & MAUDE on Saturday July 16th at Los Angeles's Los Feliz Theatre.

Good ass ep. 

Are you in the mood for an existentially dark, yet lighthearted rom-com about about wonderfully mature women who's vivacious energy seduces a youth with mommy issues? Us too! We popped the cork of some "organic" wine while talking to Virginia-based artist Margret Meehan about one of her favorite movies Harold and Maude, which is a direct inspiration for many of her artworks. While watching this film, we couldn't help but fall in love with Maude as she shows us that "if we want to be free, be free" and how the act of living can be intoxicatingly life affirming. RIP (Resist in Peace) Maude (Ruth Gordon) xoxo   Tangents include: grandmother's scents, sex shaming, WITCH (Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell), manic pixie dream girl trope, Arlington National Cemetery, Wes Anderson, cardinals, extreme embalming  For more information about Margrets's studio practice, check out his website www.margaretmeehan.net and Instagram @margaretmmeehan Follow us on Instagram @artists.talk.movies --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/erin-stafford/support
