Mir war nur zu bewusst gewesen, welches Risiko ich einging, als ich Plor, meinem Naseweisen Kompagnon, einen weiteren Wes Anderson Film gab. Nicht nur einen, sondern gleich vier. Sorgenvoll setzte ich mich an meinen Schreibtisch und tippte meine einleitenden Worte. Diese sollen im folgenden vollständig wiedergegeben werden: “Wes Anderson war seit seiner Kindheit großer Fan von Roald Dahls Geschichten und hat mit Fantastic Mr. Fox schon einmal eines seiner Werke verfilmt. 2022 drehte er für Netflix eine Reihe von vier Kurzfilmen, die aus verschiedenen Anthologien Roald Dahls entnommen sind. Aber er wollte er die Textvorlage so unberührt wie möglich lassen und ließ die Schauspieler konsequenterweise sowohl Dialoge, als auch Beschreibungen mitsprechen.” Ich schwitzte stark und meine Finger wurden klamm, wusste ich doch nicht, wie Plor auf meinen waghalsigen Filmvorschlag reagieren würde. “Die erste Geschichte und damit die Namensgebende, handelt von Henry Sugar”, tippte ich “der in einem Arztbericht von einem Inder liest, der mittels Yogi-Kräften zu sehen vermochte, ohne die Augen zu nutzen. Eine durch jahrelanges hartes Training erworbene Fähigkeit, die Henry Sugar überzeugte, in kürzester Zeit steinreich werden zu können. Drei Jahre und drei Monate meditiert er und bringt seine Konzentration auf nur einen Punkt. Und tatsächlich. Er errät zuverlässig den Wert einer zufälligen Spielkarte in unter fünf Sekunden. Ein phänomenales Ergebnis. Als er seine ersten Gewinne im Casino einstreicht, passiert etwas Ungeheuerliches: Henry Sugar hat kein Interesse mehr am enormen Reichtum. Er beschließt den Rest seines Lebens damit zuzubringen Waisen- und Krankenhäuser zu bauen. Bis er schließlich im Alter von 63 Jahren an einer Lungenembolie… Ich spitzte meinen Bleistift der zum Schreiben zu stumpf geworden war. Dann tippe ich weiter: “...an einer Lungenembolie stirbt, die er natürlich hat kommen sehen, da er durch seinen Körper hindurch sehen konnte, wie sich das Blutgerinnsel gen Herzen vorarbeitet. Er starb glücklich und zufrieden.” Ich sank zufrieden in meinen Stuhl und beschloss, die anderen drei Geschichten erst zusammenzufassen, sobald das Gespräch darauf kommen würde. Diese eine war vorerst genug. Als ich einige Zeit später von meiner Tastatur aufschaute saß da Plor und schaute mich erwartungsvoll an. “Nun Plor?”, fragte ich, sichtlich nervös “Konntest du etwas neues in diesen Filmen entdecken, oder war es wieder nur ‘same old Wes Anderson'?”

It's not quite magic, and it's not quite a heist, but Shaun found himself meditating with Wes Anderson's (Roald Dahl's?) “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.” With an outstanding cast, stunning visuals, and a short run time… what could go … Continue reading →

We hope this week's podcast will earn your ‘quiet affirmative noises'--whatever they might sound like...??? Listeners to last week's show may remember one correspondent's story of a film eliciting this mysterious and elusive sound—and you've kindly sent in some examples to clear up this crucial matter for us. Mmhmm. Grown-up Aussie animation ‘Memoir of a Snail' is first on Mark's review slate this week--starring Sarah Snook and with a voice cast including Nick Cave and Jacki Weaver, the crafted stop-motion story follows the melancholic life of a reclusive, snail collecting misfit in 1970s Canberra. On a lighter note, to solve all your lovers' tiffs about what genre to go for this Valentine's Day movie night, a review of the romcom-slasher hybrid ‘Heart Eyes'. And last but certainly not least—'Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy', fourth instalment of the British romcom institution starring Renée Zellweger in which Bridget gets back to dating for the first time after the death of Mark (Colin Firth). Our guests this week are Stephen Graham and Malchi Kirby—who star in the Steven Knight-penned Victorian boxing drama ‘A Thousand Blows', out next week. In it, a bulked-up Graham plays Henry ‘Sugar' Goodson—the fearsome East End boxer and adversary of Kirby's Hezekiah Moscow. Hezekiah arrives in 1800s London from Jamaica, hoping to fulfil his dream of becoming a lion tamer at the zoo—but finds himself at the heart of the city's criminal underworld, orchestrated by Mary Carr (Erin Doherty), ‘Queen' of the all-female crime gang The Forty Elephants. Simon chats to the stars about getting into the ring together in this gritty drama based on real historical figures, getting ripped, Jamaican heritage and more.

Our deep dive of Wes Anderson and P.T. Anderson continues: this time we discuss the 2024 anthology film The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Three More.

On this episode, we were joined by the iconic actor, writer, and filmmaker Richard Ayoade to discuss his latest comic novel, The Unfinished Harauld Hughes, a fictional accounting of his quest to canonise the most significant British playwright of the 20th century (who also happens to be entirely made up). Richard spoke to us about the figures that influenced the invention of Hughes–among them Harold Pinter and Orson Welles–and the ill-fated film Hughes authored, "O Bedlam, O Bedlam", which stopped the prolific playwright from ever writing again. He expressed scepticism about the myths and exaggerations that create "great lost works" and literary recluses and discussed why it is important to approach comic writing from the inside out rather than trying to make fun of your characters. For good measure, we also discuss his deep love of "Spinal Tap", Joan Didion, and the time he spent acting in Wes Anderson's "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar."

Episode 127: Wes Anderson, Take 12: Netflix Shorts"He sits down at his computer and opens up his notes file. Looking into the camera at his co-host, Casey nods his head, takes a deep breath and begins reading the show open in an excited tone.Welcome back movie fans to another book on tape narrated Episode of the Not Funny Guys Present's: Off the Reels, the internets #1 podcast on Public Libraries with original collections of Rhol Dhal books. His co-host, roll their eyes, thinking to themselves how dumb this sounds. They realize they can't stop him and he knows this, so…..he continues along his own self destructive path. Still reading this as if he'd just done a line of coke and downed a pot of coffee. This is episode 127 of the Internets most popular movie podcast, and today….He wonder's to himself, why do I say and today? Hmmmm…he continues reading.Today we're going to narrate Wes Anderson movies, in the final chapter of the epic, Wes Anderson run. Thank god it's the end, Casey thinks as he reads that sentence. He looks up, smirks at his co-host, looks back at his notes, and plods along, cocky and self assured. TodayHe stops and thinks to himself, I really do say today a lot in this script. I should change that for the next series. Slim it down, make it faster. He continues…Today we're talking about the Wes Anderson Rhode Dhal Netflix shorts; The Swan, The Ratcatcher, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, and Poison. A series of shorts that prove that they will film anything for the right amount of money. Now comes the fun part he thinks. The part Casey gets to have the most fun with….picking their Nicknames. He puts more time into this part than he'd like to admit. He looks back down at his notes and continues once again. Dr. Jon thinks to himself….when will this fucking end?. Eric….laughs, too drunk and stoned to be offended. He admires how Casey can stay in character the entire time with this ludicrous script.We are your favorite Ne'er-do-wells the Not Funny Guys, I am your host Casey ‘Insidious' Franklin, and I'm joined by my two co-host, the other members of the Not Funny Guys, Dr. Jon ‘The Good Doctor' Evans, and Eric ‘Speak No Evil'….Casey suddenly looses his train of thought and moves along with the rig a ma roll, moving to the hellos…Gentlemen, say hello……They respond in an annoyed tone……"Our Political Podcast is back!

This week we chat with Kari Heggen, a bookstagrammer from Iowa who set herself a goal to read all the Newbery Award winners from the past 102 years.

She read 49 of the winners in 2023 and got a jump start on 2024 by reading this year's winner, The Eyes and the Impossible by Dave Eggers. Kari talks about the highs and lows of her Newbery Award challenge. Books from the early days of the award were decidedly not great. But by the 1960s, Kari got into a better groove and found herself enjoying books for the first time and often the second time which brought back some childhood nostalgia.

"The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar," based on the 1977 short story of the same name by Roald Dahl, had its world premiere at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for filmmaker Wes Anderson bringing his trademark cinematic style to the short film format. It is the second film adaptation of Dahl's work directed by Anderson, following the Oscar-nominated "Fantastic Mr. Fox" in 2009. With an Academy Award nomination for Best Live Action Short, "Henry Sugar" marks Anderson's eighth Oscar nomination. Working with his usual collaborators both in front and behind the camera, the film is the first of a four-part series of shorts adapted from Dahl's short stories, including "The Swan," "The Rat Catcher," and "Poison." All of them are now available to stream on Netflix. Costume Designer Kasia Walicka-Maimone and Cinematographer Robert Yeoman were kind enough to spend a few minutes speaking with us about their work on the short film and their experience working with Anderson. Please be sure to check out the short film, which is up for your consideration for Best Live Action Short Film at this year's Academy Awards. Thank you, and enjoy!

4 of us. 4 topics. 4 you.

Cinematographer Robert Yeoman has been a consistent collaborator with director Wes Anderson since the 1990's. Together, Bob and Anderson have crafted a signature visual style that combines meticulous set design, vibrant color palettes, and symmetrical framing. Each frame feels like a carefully composed painting, with every detail thoughtfully arranged to enhance the overall narrative. Bob's latest collaboration with Anderson is the film Asteroid City and a series of short films adapted from the writings of Roald Dahl. Bob was the DP for The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, The Rat Catcher and Poison. Both the film Asteroid City and the Roald Dahl shorts feature the actors speaking directly to the camera as in a stage play, and props and sets pieces are obviously moved in and out of frame. For the Dahl short films, most of the script is taken directly from Dahl's writing, with the actors reciting the story to the audience. They shot all of the short films in England on two stages right next to each other. While the crew was shooting on one stage, the art department designed and built the stage next to it. Anderson's pre-production process includes the creation of animatics to plan and visualize scenes before shooting begins. An animatic is a series of storyboard images edited together to give a rough preview of the film's pacing and visual composition. Once the animatic is complete, everyone on the creative team is on the same page regarding the visual and narrative direction of the film. The art department then takes the animatic and turns it into a physical space. Since Anderson is so specific about how he wants his compositions to look, Bob usually uses a camera on a dolly track- a steadicam or a technocrane can't get the same level of precision. They imported a special dolly track from Paris for shooting the Roald Dahl shorts. Because of the size of the track, some of the sets that had to slide open and closed were built so that they were slightly elevated from the floor. To accommodate the dolly, all of the lights had to be placed in the ceiling and were operated from a main control board. There were many rehearsals with the art and props department to get the set and prop movements right. The actors knew exactly where to position themselves in the scene just from the detailed animatics. The film Asteroid City explores themes of grief, melancholy and disconnection. It melds together two very distinctive looks- the format of a black and white 1950's era TV documentary in 4:3 aspect ratio about a play, “Asteriod City,” which is then intercut with the staging of “Asteroid City” in a sunny desert town, shot in widescreen with bright pastel colors and lighting. The town set was built from scratch, in a desert in Spain. To create the look, they chose to shoot on film, and Bob tested several different film stocks. He embraced the harsh, high contrast desert light as a character in the movie, even though it went against his instincts as a cinematographer. They made the pastel colors pop in the DI (digital intermediate), and gave it more of a low-contrast look. Though it was shot on a set, Anderson didn't want to use any movie lights on Asteroid City. Instead, skylights were built into each of the buildings such as the diner and the motel office. The skylights were then covered with very thick diffusion so that the light was very soft and even. Under the desert sun, bounce cards and the occasional silk was used to throw more light on the actor's faces. By contrast, they used a very complex theatrical lighting setup when shooting the black and white sequences. They used a lot of harder lights on dimmers, and shot on black and white film. Bob finds that the less gear you have on a set coming between the actors and the director, the more intimate the experience. There's always a huge crew for making Anderson's films, but while shooting a scene, there are only about 10 people present.

This week, the panel begins by reviewing The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar, Wes Anderson's faithful adaptation of a 1977 Roald Dahl short story, that doubles as a sumptuous meta-commentary on the director's exacting approach to his craft. Then, the three discuss The Super Models, Apple TV+'s docu-series that glossily chronicles the lives and careers of Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, and Linda Evangelista, a.k.a. The It Girls of ‘90s fashion. Finally, they puzzle through a controversy sweeping the behavioral science community: What happens when so-called “lying experts” falsify their own data? Recent allegations against well-known thought leaders in the field, Francesca Gino and her frequent collaborator, Dan Ariely, have unleashed a host of ethical issues and questions within the academic sphere.
