During this bonus episode, taped live at the Angelika Film Center in downtown Manhattan in a send-up to the Hollywood Ten, writer and critic Julie Salamon returns to The Wreckage to host New York Times editor/reporter and historian Clay Risen and AJHS executive director Gemma R. Birnbaum. Risen's new book, Red Scare: Blacklists, McCarthyism, and the Making of Modern America, provided an excellent framework for the discussion. Our deep appreciation to Rebecca Naomi Jones, who has once again brought life to the archives this season, and with her immense talent and empathetic storytelling, took our listeners on a riveting journey through one of the most tumultuous times in US history.  Additional thanks to Matthew Dallek, Thomas Doherty, Martin J. Siegel, Larry Tye, Jelani Cobb, Clay Risen, and Julie Salamon for being part of our season. The Wreckage is made possible by funding from the Ford Foundation.

In November 1947, ten Hollywood writers and directors were cited for contempt of court for their refusal to testify before HUAC. Criminal charges were issued against the group that would become known as “the Hollywood Ten,” and the first systematic Hollywood blacklist had begun. Of the ten, six were Jewish - John Howard Lawson, Herbert Biberman, Alvah Bessie, Albert Maltz, Samuel Ornitz, and Lester Cole - as were many of the studio executives who voted to blacklist them. Narrated by Rebecca Naomi Jones and featuring Thomas Doherty, author of Show Trial: Hollywood, HUAC, and the Birth of the Blacklist.

Grab your sandals and sword and get philosophical with Jason, Tony, and our guest Paul Klein, as we unpack the wonders of Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus (1960). The film was adapted from Howard Fast's novel of the same title by Dalton Trumbo, and it is considered a major step in the end of the notorious Hollywood blacklist. The film is also read as an allegory for civil rights stuggles, the HUAC hearings, and "Third World" struggles. All of this and more is discussed in the episode.  Books and articles mentioned: Who Paid the Piper: The CIA and the Cultural Cold War by Frances Stonor Saunders The Final Victim of the Blacklist: John Howard Lawson, Dean of the Hollywood Ten by Gerald Horne Aesthetic Theory by Theodor Adorno “Fascinating Fascism” by Susan Sontag As always, please suscribe to the podcast, and don't forget to leave a review! And follow Jason on Twitter (X) at @JasonAChristian, Anthony at @tonyjballas, and Paul at @ptklein, and the same handles at BlueSky.

This episode was originally released on March 1, 2016. Listen to help prep for the next episode of our new season,The Old Man is Still Alive. In the late 1940s, as the country was moving to the right and there was pressure on Hollywood to do the same, Katharine Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart and John Huston all protested HUAC in ways that damaged their public personas and their ability to work in Hollywood. Hepburn's outspokenness resulted in headlines branding her a "Red" and, allegedly, audiences stoning her films. Bogart and Huston were prominent members of the Committee For the First Amendment, a group of Hollywood stars who came to Washington to support the Hollywood Ten -- and lived to regret it. With their career futures uncertain, the trio collaborated on the most difficult film any of them would ever make, The African Queen.

"The only film to ever be blacklisted!" Kyle Lampar steps out of the producer role to join us for a conversation about HUAC, the Hollywood Ten, and the only film to ever be blacklisted, Salt of the Earth (1954). Since this unique film was made by creatives caught up in the Red Scare, we begin our episode with a quick history of the Hollywood Blacklist, before getting into the merits, and the flaws, of this landmark work of cinema.

Join hosts Jason Christian, Anthony Ballas, and Tim Jones as they discuss Herbert J. Biberman's iconic independent masterpiece Salt of the Earth (1954). The film is based on the real-life Empire Zinc strike in 1951 in Grant County, New Mexico, and was self-financed and made entirely outside the studio system using mostly non-professional actors, many of them actual miners playing versions of themselves. Jason compares the the film to Gillo Pontecorvo's 1966 masterpiece The Battle of Algiers in terms of its scrappy production, dialectical sctructure, and Marxist themes. (You can hear him gush about that film on another podcast, linked here.) Biberman was one of the Hollywood Ten and he was blacklisted, as were the screenwriter, Michael Wilson, and the producer, Paul Jarrico. The Hollywood apparatus and law enforcement attempted to sabotage the production of Salt of the Earth on numerous occasions, going as far as getting the lead actress, Rosaura Revueltas, deported to Mexico on trumped up charges. Although she was from a prominent family of artists and writers, she was blacklisted and never acted in another Mexican film.  As always please suscribe to the podcast if you like what you hear, and don't forget to leave us a review!

A few days ago, a reporter from one of the trades asked me for an interview. I knew there could only be one reason she would want to interview me, and it wasn't to talk about how I ran a website for 25 years on the Oscar race.It wouldn't be that I raised a baby as a single mother and launched my site out of a guest house in Van Nuys, California, or that I'd worked as a sports photographer, a fake horoscope writer, a film reviewer, a janitor, and a teacher's aide to raise my daughter without sending her to daycare and somehow built a successful business anyway.No. This had to be about my politics and why they changed.How did a Barack Obama devotee, an I'm With Her Hillary Clinton supporter, and a Joe Biden faithful from way back find my way into not only voting for Trump but actively trying to help the Republicans defeat the Democrats?Now that's a story, “How Did an Oscar Blogger become a far-right radical?”The pitch wasn't exactly about that. It was more about how I plan to navigate being a dissident heretic while also running a successful business in an industry that is now the same organism as the government.I've been asked this question many times by people on the Right and have given many interviews to explain “what happened to me.” But this is the first time anyone on the Left, or inside the bubble of the Left, asked me to explain it.And that's because one, two, three, all eyes are on me. I did a boo-boo on Twitter that now has me in the crosshairs at long last. It was one thing when I stood up for JK Rowling or Ansel Elgort or when I pushed back on the hysteria that Green Book was “racist.” When Trump is involved, it's bigger than just your average internet pile-on. This time it could mean the end of whatever it is I've built over at AwardsDaily.com.The story will be about how my politics changed, or more specifically, why I felt like I could get away with a satirical tweet that said “White Power” while mocking the “White Dudes for Harris.”Is it bad to mock white people? I thought they were fair game. Or is just saying those words bad? Some people decided that it meant something beyond that. I don't check my mentions anymore, so I had no idea this wave of hysteria was even occurring. But then a friend wrote to “ask me about it.”It was as though I was secretly joining the white power movement on Twitter and was signaling to all of my friends in the KKK that, look, it's cool to be white people celebrating our whiteness again! Of course, it's not. It's just that they have a habit on the left of memory-holing their insanity and moving the goalposts. We're all supposed to keep up.Four years ago, there could have been no “white dudes for Biden” or “white dudes for Barack Obama.” It would be called any number of things, from white saviorism (which this most surely was) and even borderline racism. But not in 2024! Anything goes because they say so.I could have deleted the tweet and apologized profusely. But I know the game, brother. They once called me a “white supremacist” for saying it wasn't only white people who committed hate crimes (fact check true). But in my world, no matter how crazy or blatant the hypocrisy gets, you should never say a word about it.Apologize and beg for forgiveness. Maybe they'll give you a break. No, they won't. They will screenshot the tweet and send it around and around. By the end of this madness, it will land in the lap of a reporter who wonders, “What happened to her?”How did Orwell know enough to write Children's Spies in 1984? How did he know the young would be so susceptible to fanaticism? Because, of course, he knew. That's why capturing the youth is so important to cults and utopias and why they separate the kids from the parents, as the Democrats are trying to do now.It's my own fault. I could have shut up, kept my head down, and complied with all of the demands—think they do, write like they do, believe what they believe, and always apologize for “mistakes made.” I could have done that. But then I think about Winston Smith and 1984. How did Orwell know?He knew that utopias must become totalitarian dystopias because how else to maintain the purity and the vision? We're living everything from that book, even a government that has now been weaponized to punish thought crimes.They have condemned and convicted Trump and his supporters as “racists,” which means anything can be done to them, and no one will say a thing. Steve Bannon is in prison for the crucial months leading up to the election. The last time someone was in jail for that crime was Ring Lardner of the Hollywood Ten.If Orwell wanted to write a book that would call out to the future to warn us that this isn't what we want for our country, much less our culture, then loudmouths like Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and me will have to take the hit because no one else will.Winston Smith is an obedient member of Oceana whose thoughts take him to dangerous places. Big Brother doesn't like him remembering great books or language deemed useless. Even love is strictly forbidden. That's how Winston finds himself being forced to admit 2+2=5.I still feel like a liberal at heart. I still care about climate change. I still believe we should all have access to good healthcare, no matter how rich we are. So many of the issues that used to be standard for Democrats have been warped and distorted beyond the point of recognition. This is a public episode.

Join hosts Jason Christian, Anthony Ballas, and Tim Jones as they discuss Irving Pichel's 1950 crime thriller Quicksand, starring Mickey Rooney, Peter Lorre, Jeanne Cagney, and Barbara Bates. The film's plot revolves around Rooney's character making one bad decision after another, shattering his moral compass along the way. The implicit message, heavy-handed in its delivery, is that poverty breeds crime. Pichel was one of the so-called "unfriendly nineteen" brought before HUAC hearings in 1947. That group was whittled down to ten and later dubbed the Hollywood Ten. Pichel was  blacklisted along with the others who refused to testify.  We hope you enjoy this episode and, as always, please subscribe and rate the show if you feel so inclined!

This Day in Legal History: House Un-American Activities Committee Probes HollywoodOn May 29, 1947, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) began its infamous investigation into communist influence in the Hollywood film industry. This marked the start of a series of public hearings aimed at identifying and eliminating alleged communist subversion in American cultural institutions. The HUAC's probe into Hollywood was driven by the fear that communist ideology was being subtly propagated through films and entertainment, which were seen as powerful tools for shaping public opinion.The investigation led to the subpoena of numerous writers, directors, and actors, many of whom were questioned about their political beliefs and associations. The most notable outcome of these hearings was the creation of the "Hollywood Ten," a group of screenwriters and directors who refused to answer the committee's questions, citing their First Amendment rights. These individuals were subsequently blacklisted by the industry, effectively ending their careers in Hollywood.The HUAC hearings had a chilling effect on the film industry, leading to widespread censorship and self-policing by studios to avoid further scrutiny. This period is often remembered as a dark chapter in American history, reflecting the intense paranoia and political repression of the early Cold War era. The Hollywood blacklist persisted for many years, and its repercussions were felt long after the initial hearings concluded.The HUAC's actions in 1947 set a precedent for future investigations into alleged subversive activities, influencing American political and cultural landscapes for decades. This event underscores the tension between national security concerns and the protection of civil liberties, a balance that continues to be a contentious issue in modern times. The Hollywood probe by HUAC remains a significant example of how fear and suspicion can lead to widespread violation of individual rights and freedoms.PwC has become the first reseller of OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise, aimed at business use, marking a significant step in the adoption of AI tools in the corporate world. This agreement will also make PwC the largest user of this AI product. The deal is part of a broader trend among Big Four accounting firms, which are increasingly incorporating AI into their services. PwC had previously announced a $1 billion investment over three years to integrate AI into its operations, enhancing the efficiency of tasks such as auditing and tax accounting.Joe Atkinson, PwC's chief products and technology officer, highlighted that the firm's experience with AI will help them effectively market these tools to clients, offering significant advantages over traditional methods. PwC's substantial deployment of ChatGPT Enterprise will set it apart in the market, as the firm aims to lead clients through their AI adoption journey. As of now, PwC's largest clients are already engaging with generative AI for various functions, including marketing and customer service, utilizing advanced AI capabilities that surpass traditional chatbots. The rest of the Big Four firms—Deloitte, Ernst & Young, and KPMG—are also making substantial investments in AI, forming partnerships with major tech companies like Microsoft, Google, and IBM to enhance their services.PwC First to Resell OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise to ClientsYesterday, May 28, 2024, a federal judge in Texas transferred a lawsuit challenging the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) rule on credit card late fees to Washington, D.C. This decision marks the second time U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman has moved the case from his court in Fort Worth, following a federal appeals court's recent decision to relinquish jurisdiction. The CFPB seeks to defend a rule capping credit card late fees at $8, a key component of President Joe Biden's administration's effort to combat "junk fees."The transfer to Washington, D.C. could benefit the CFPB, as it is now in a jurisdiction where the agency is based. This case involves major plaintiffs, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Bankers Association, who are challenging the rule. The CFPB has argued that the rule is necessary, citing that credit card issuers collected over $14 billion in late fees in 2022, with an average fee of $32.Judge Pittman, a Trump appointee, previously blocked the rule from taking effect, basing his decision on a 2022 ruling by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which found the CFPB's funding structure unconstitutional. However, the Supreme Court overturned this ruling on May 16. The CFPB plans to seek the removal of Pittman's injunction, although the plaintiffs have other arguments to prevent the rule from being enforced. The transfer is seen as a strategic move to place the case in a more favorable venue for the CFPB.Texas judge again transfers lawsuit over card late fee rule to Washington, D.C. | ReutersIllinois is on the verge of implementing a progressive tax structure on sports wagering, which could see tax rates as high as 40%. The Illinois General Assembly has passed an amendment to a bill that introduces a graduated tax rate for sports wagering receipts. Businesses with sports wagering receipts between $30 million and $50 million will face a minimum tax rate of 20%, while those with receipts exceeding $200 million will be taxed at the maximum rate of 40%.This progressive tax structure is a pioneering approach in the sports betting industry and could serve as a model for other states considering the legalization and taxation of sports betting. Illinois aims to maximize state revenue from this rapidly growing industry without stifling its competitiveness. The state's approach balances the need for significant tax income with maintaining a healthy market.Illinois's model contrasts with other states like New York, which has a flat 51% tax on gross gaming revenues. Illinois's graduated system introduces a level of progressivity, that is higher rates for entities with higher revenues, potentially influencing other states to adopt similar frameworks. For instance, New Jersey is considering raising its sports betting taxes to a uniform 30%, it remains to be seen if the Garden State may consider an Illinois-style graduated rate system. Revenue from vice taxes, including those on gambling, is crucial for states facing budget deficits. However, it's essential that the revenue generated from such taxes be allocated effectively to offset the social costs associated with these activities. In the case of sports wagering, funds should support public health initiatives, addiction treatment programs, and educational campaigns.Illinois's progressive tax on sports wagering aims to balance industry growth with regulation. If the revenue is used appropriately, Illinois could become a comprehensive model for other states to follow, focusing not only on revenue potential but also on mitigating the larger social impacts of increased sports betting.Illinois Eyeing Sports Wagering Tax Up To 40%In my column this week, I address the urgent need for a proactive approach to combat biofuel tax credit fraud. A recent audit by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration highlighted significant flaws in the administration of these credits, revealing that many are awarded without proper documentation. This system's reactive nature allows fraud to flourish, as the IRS can only issue deficiency notices after fraudulent claims are filed.Biofuel tax credits, intended to promote renewable fuel production and use, have been a cornerstone of U.S. energy policy since 2004. However, the current law's limitations prevent the IRS from denying credits at the time of filing, enabling schemes that exploit information delays. To combat this, the IRS should be given the authority to enforce registration requirements and deny non-compliant claims proactively.Implementing a track-and-trace system could also help by uniquely identifying and tracking each gallon of biofuel through its production and distribution journey. This would create multiple checkpoints, making it challenging for fraudsters to repeatedly claim credits on the same fuel.Past fraud cases, such as the Washakie biodiesel fraud and schemes involving Gen-X Energy Group, illustrate how easy it is to exploit the system. Fraudsters cycle biofuel between refineries and distribution points, claiming new credits each time, or recycle biodiesel back into feedstock to produce more biodiesel for additional credits.The IRS is currently hampered by Section 4101 of the tax code, which allows taxpayers to claim credits without meeting registration requirements. This loophole leaves the IRS to address fraud only after it has occurred, often too late to recover lost funds.A track-and-trace system, used successfully in other industries, could ensure that each gallon of biofuel is tracked from refinement to consumption, making it harder for fraudulent activities to go unnoticed. By assigning unique identifiers and logging each step in a database, this system would create an auditable chain of custody.Addressing these vulnerabilities requires legislative action to empower the IRS to deny fraudulent claims at the point of filing. Strengthening enforcement capabilities and closing existing loopholes will help safeguard the integrity of biofuel tax credits and ensure they serve their intended purpose.To Combat Biofuel Tax Credit Fraud, We Need a Proactive Approach Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

The memorable and noticeable events in First Turnings particularly include * Infrastruture * Exploration * Seeking out corruption, in whatever form it's expected to exist. Rebuilding St. Peter's Basilica falls under the first category, especially when it's being rebuilt for the first time in over 1000 years.     Americans learn of the founding of Jamestown as part of their country's history, as the first successful English colony in the New World and the precursor to the Thirteen Colonies that would eventually rebel against the British. It can also be looked at as the start of the British Empire, and as embodying a spirit of exploration in the aftermath of the victory over Spain.  All of which make it an appropriate instance of a First Turning landmark.    In 1714, the British Parliament approved The Longitude Prize, which offered monetary rewards to anyone who could make it possible for ships to effectively determine their longitude. The smallest prize was £10,000 - the equivalent of millions of dollars today.    The Kingdom of Great Britain was created by The Acts of Union  in 1707. Before then, one would properly refer to the English Parliament, and after to the British Parliament. This epsode crosses over that point in time between the start and the end, so the incorrect adjective may have slipped in once or twice.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acts_of_Union_1707   The Global Positioning System (GPS) might be considered a comparable sort of infrastructure, but it was created over a long enough period that associating it with a specific Turning is difficult. It also required infrastructure (namely rockets that could put satellites in orbit), and was implemented in short order once those were available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System       In 1804, Lewis and Clark's "Corps of Discovery" heads north and west from where the Missouri and Mississippi rivers meet, attempting to find a way to the Pacific Ocean. The First Turning encourages Exploration, which continues to use the governmental infrastructure set up during the previous Fourth Turning, but avoids the complications of a open warfare....   Expanding infrastructure is one of the key indicators of the First Turning, and the transcontinental railroad was an infrastructure priority for the United States in the 19th Century.     The organizational strengths and focus that enable infrastructure and exploration are not always aimed at such noble pursuits. Sometimes they find internal enemies, or at least try to seek them out. The fear of Communists infilitrating the entertainment industry led the U.S. Government to pursue a group that became known as The Hollywood Ten. As this hits the edge of the map for the First Turning, we continue on with a short description of our final historical period, the Third Turning, and how we'll be choosing our landmarks there.

Für Episode 133 hat Plor Johannes wieder einen echten Feel Good Movie mitgebracht: Im Zentrum von Johnny Got His Gun aus dem Jahr 1971 steht ein Soldat, der durch eine massive Kriegsverletzung zum Gefangenen seines eigenen Körpers wird. Seiner Arme, Beine und Sinne beraubt, unfähig mit der Außenwelt zu kommunizieren befindet er sich in einem permanenten Zustand zwischen Leere, Erinnerung und Alptraum. Mindestens genau so faszinierend wie die Handlung von Johnny Got His Gun ist das Schicksal seines Schöpfers, Dalton Trumbo, der zu den prominentesten Hollywood-Opfern des McCarthyism zählt und als Mitglied der Hollywood Ten sogar im Gefängnis saß. Wir reden also nicht nur über den Pazifismus in "Johnny zieht in den Krieg" sondern auch das Canceling im traditionellen, konservativen Hollywood, über deprimierende Filme und den deprimierenden Umgang der USA mit ihren kontroverseren Künstler*Innen.

An undesirable walk of fame.

Seventy-five years ago, the Hollywood blacklist ruined lives, stifled creativity, and sent waves of proscription and censorship throughout United States culture. When the Hollywood Ten refused to answer the questions of the House Committee on Un-American Activities about their membership in the Communist Party, they were sentenced to prison, the five who were under contract were fired by their studios, and all were blacklisted from reemployment until they "purged themselves of their communist taint." By the 1950s, this blacklist publicly stigmatized nearly three hundred other Americans in the entertainment industry who invoked the First and Fifth Amendments in their refusal to apologize for their Communist ties or provide the names of other members. Dozens of others were graylisted as the result of rumors. In The Hollywood Motion Picture Blacklist: Seventy-Five Years Later (University Press of Kentucky, 2022), Larry Ceplair offers new insights on the origins of the blacklist, the characteristics of those blacklisted, and the probability of future proscriptions of the blacklist type. Larry Ceplair is professor emeritus of history at Santa Monica College, California. Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York, and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press, 2020).

The organizational strengths and focus that enable infrastructure and exploration are not always aimed at such noble pursuits. Sometimes they find internal enemies, or at least try to seek them out. The fear of Communists infilitrating the entertainment industry led the U.S. Government to pursue a group that became known as The Hollywood Ten. As this hits the edge of the map for the First Turning, we continue on with a short description of our final historical period, the Third Turning, and how we'll be choosing our landmarks there.

In der Anfangsphase des Kalten Krieges witterten die Mächtigen auf beiden Seiten des Eisernen Vorhangs an jeder Ecke feindliche Agenten und Spione, die versuchten, mit ihren subversiven Aktivitäten die politische Stimmung im eigenen Land entscheidend zu beeinflussen. In den USA machte der „Ausschuss für unamerikanische Aktivitäten“ des US-Kongresses um seinen Leiter J. Parnell Thomas (Republikaner) und John E. Rankin (Demokraten) ein besonders prominentes Verschwörerzentrum aus: Hollywood. Mächtige Studiobosse wie Jack Warner, Samuel Goldwyn und Walt Disney, Schauspieler vom Format eines Robert Taylor, Gary Cooper oder Ronald Reagan und nicht zuletzt Autoren wie Bertolt Brecht und Donald Trumbo wurden vorgeladen, um zu klären, ob in Hollywood der blutige Umsturz geplant wird…

The only ten liberals in Hollywood, right?

The year 1948 saw the price of a first class stamp at three cents and unemployment in post-war America was at a low 3.9%. The Hollywood Ten were jailed for contempt of Congress when they refused to disclose Communist affiliations. And Columbia Records introduced the 33 1/3 LP at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The LP is still the standard by which physical listening is measured with album sales booming, with LPs sold rising 108% in the first six months of 2020. But we're going to be sharing the music of 1948 this week:  Eddy Arnold, Peggy Lee, Dick Haymes, Louis Jordan, Blue Lu Barker and Mahalia Jackson are just but a few we'll be hearing from in this week's episode on KOWS Community Radio.

Jeff Goldblum stars as Herbert Biberman, who is... one of the Hollywood Ten! It's the infamous period of Hollywood that involved the HUAC hearings, the blacklist, and the making of a movie that the FBI did not want people to see, 1954's SALT OF THE EARTH. It's all here in this surprisingly solid biopic, ONE OF THE HOLLYWOOD TEN!

America was riven in the late 1940s and early 1950s when the House Un-American Affairs Committee turned its gimlet eye on Hollywood and 10 writers and producers with suspiciously leftist sympathies. The Hollywood Ten were among the most successful and well-known writers of their time, including Oscar-winners Michael Wilson and Dalton Trumbo. After being forced out of their careers and country, they encamped for the more tolerant climates of Mexico and Europe, writing under assumed names for much lower wages and no credit. In the mid-1950s, they began to trickle back into America, where Trumbo and Wilson set up camp in Ojai, led by Wilson's wife, Zelma, the noted architect. Zelma and Michael formed a salon where other blacklisted writers and actors gathered to commiserate, party and make history. We take up this story with Mark Lewis, former chair of the Ojai Valley Museum and a long-form narrative feature journalist who is also an associate editor of the Ojai Quarterly. After Kirk Douglas and others helped bust the blacklist, these talented writers got back to work on such classics as "Planet of the Apes" and "Johnny Got His Gun." Among other topics we talked about Stalin, Ojai architecture, Ronald Reagan and Nordhoff homecoming queens. We did not talk about Zen archery, Great Lakes boat craft or the Peloponnesian War.

Debbie Weil talks to John Mankiewicz, a veteran screenwriter as well as executive producer for TV and film. She asks him what he's working on and what kinds of stories may come out of this era of COVID and the pandemic.  One of his ideas is a show based on people driving around L.A. in their cars, who find themselves unwittingly connected or involved in a frightening conspiracy.You’re undoubtedly familiar with several of John's TV series, including House of Cards and Bosch. He co-created, with Anders Weidemann, the CBS All Access series  Interrogation. which aired earlier this year.John is Debbie's new neighbor, having left L.A. for Castine, the historic coastal town in Maine where he's living, for the moment, with his family. Castine is an hour from Debbie's home in Stonington. The two met this past summer when both worked on a passalong mystery novel - set in Castine. One person wrote a chapter and then the draft was passed along to another writer who wrote the next chapter and so on. You’ll hear in their conversation how John’s son, Jack Mankiewicz, also a writer, filmmaker and producer, bailed Debbie out when her chapter ended in a dead end.Debbie and John talk about the anxiety of these times and the difficulty of writing anything, the transformation of the TV and movie industry in recent years, and the rise of podcasts. They also talk about John’s famous grandfather, Herman Mankiewicz, who wrote the screenplay for the 1941 Citizen Kane, considered by many to be the greatest film ever made. John tells us about his current project, a five-hour podcast about the blacklisted Hollywood Ten, tentatively called The Big Lie, that will be published by Audible in the first half of 2021. His NEW BEST THING as a result of the pandemic? A dog named Daisy from a Southern California lab rescue organization "that has no lab in her."

Dr. Justin Coffey discusses the early years of Richard Nixon and his political rise. Coffey stresses the development of Nixon's work ethic and social resentments which form his politics. Nixon's school years and service in the Navy eventually lead to a congressional run in 1946. Dr. Coffey talks about the 12th Congressional District win by Nixon against Jerry Voorhis and his placement on the House American Activities Committee (HUAC). The conversation covers the HUAC and the investigation into the "Hollywood Ten" and the Alger Hiss case. The section on the Alger Hiss case encompasses more modern revelations such as the "Venona Decrypts". Coffey finishes with Nixon's election to the U.S. Senate in 1950, his political rivalry with John F. Kennedy, and his selection to be the VP nominee for Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952. The election of 1952 features the famous "Checkers Speech" which saved Richard Nixon's political career.Host: Rob MellonFeatured Brew: Mischief Hoppy Belgian-Style Ale (The Bruery, Yorba Linda, CA)Music: Bones Fork

A million-dollar Lady deserves a million-dollar question: Can you name the most ethnically diverse country in South America? Plus, a completely unrelated poem.

Remembering Henri Belolo, Nuon Chea, Edward Lewis, Sherman Poppen Henri Belolo was the music producer who helped create the music group The Village People, who were popular across the world in the late 1970’s with songs like YMCA and Macho Man. Nuon Chea was the second-in-command of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in the 1970’s. He and his cohorts including Pol Pot were responsible for the deaths of two million Cambodians in a country of seven million. Edward Lewis was the film producer who helped end the Hollywood blacklist when he publicly hired Dalton Trumbo, a member of the Hollywood Ten, for the Kirk Douglas movie Spartacus (1960). Sherman Poppen was the Michigan man who came up with the idea of snurfing, essentially surfing in the snow with a snowboard he invented.

In the 1940s, the Red Scare had everyone on high alert, as whispers of Communist conspiracies swept through Hollywood. When Edward Dmytryk was wrongfully accused of a Communist agenda, he would soon learn that one false move would lose him absolutely everything.

Episode 48: Trumbo. Andrew is joined by Dr Fiona Radford of the Partial Historians Podcast and an expert on Dalton Trumbo, Spartacus and the Hollywood Ten (blacklisted screen writers suspected of having communist sympathies of which Dalton Trumbo was a prominent member). We have to apologise for the poor audio quality on Andrew’s side but we still hope that you enjoy the depth of knowledge that Dr Fiona displays, delivered in her customary light-hearted style. Brian Cranston plays the title role wonderfully as Andrew and Fiona examine whether the movie got things right.

Brandeis professor Tom Doherty joins us to discuss his new book about the 1947 Congressional hearings that led directly to Hollywood's anti-Communist blacklist. We start by untangling a few terms often used to describe the events of the time--HUAC, McCarthyism, the Red Scare--and the overall timeline of events in and around the hearings (2:15). Then we discuss the perspectives and strategies adopted by each of the main factions from Hollywood who were involved in the 1947 hearings: the studio bosses and their industry representatives from the MPAA (19:20), the staunch anti-Communist conservatives of the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals (34:55), the activist anti-HUAC liberals of the Committee for the First Amendment (44:45), and the Communist party members and sympathizers known as the Unfriendly Nineteen, whose ranks were randomly culled to the Hollywood Ten (51:30). We finish with how the end of the hearings led rapidly to the blacklist (1:03:30), the role that film noir played in smuggling what may have been considered subversive content into movies of the time (1:10:00), and a story about one of the last surviving people who was directly involved in the hearings, Marsha Hunt (1:15:00). Tom Doherty's book is available at: https://www.amazon.com/Show-Trial-Hollywood-Blacklist-Culture/dp/0231187785 Screenshots from several noir films where Diego Rivera's painting The Flower Carrier appears in the background, a possible sign of solidarity with victims of the blacklist: https://twitter.com/EddieMuller/status/934043742280884225 NOIR CITY Austin schedule and tickets: https://drafthouse.com/austin/program/noir-city-austin-2018 NOIR CITY Boston schedule and tickets: http://www.brattlefilm.org/category/noir-city-boston/ Please send us any feedback you have on our show to podcast@filmnoirfoundation.org, and rate/review us on iTunes.

I mean, seriously, this story should have been a headline years ago. But finally Amazon is taking steps to cut down on scams and abuse from unscrupulous authors using their Kindle Direct Publishing service. Amazon has filed five complaints against authors who are violating the terms of service, with everything from trafficking in fake reviews to “link abuse,” where an author puts a link in the front of the book that sends readers to the back of the book, in an effort to capitalize on Amazon’s page reads policy. Amazon is seeking more than half a million dollars in damages from five authors. It remains to be seen whether these actions will curtail some of KDP’s woes, but a start is a start. — http://bit.ly/WPC146-Amazon-LawsuitMicrosoft quietly rolls out E-Bookstore — Authors looking to reach a very specific and narrow group of readers can rejoice … Microsoft has finally rolled out its eBook store, which is available exclusively to users of the Windows 10 operating system. Ebooks can be purchased via the Microsoft Store app, or on Microsoft’s website. When asked if Microsoft will eventually support devices beyond Windows 10, such as the prolific and near universal Apple iPhone or the stunningly popular Google Android platform, Microsoft replied in the vaguest terms possible. Which means “no, but maybe.Someday. If we get around to it.” — http://bit.ly/WPC146-MicrosoftSmashwords Founder Mark Coker thinks Indies are losing their independence — Citing an ever-increasing dependence on KDP Select, Mark Coker wrote in the Huffington post that “Authors who now derive 100% of their sales from Amazon are no longer indie authors. They’re dependent authors. I suppose we have indie authors and de-authors now.” A bit cynical, but does he have a point? Personally, I believe the “independent” in “independent authors” is more about owning your career and being in control of your decisions, but Coker’s point is that dependence on one sales channel will lead to losing options. Whether this is the future of Indies, we really can’t say.

In the first of two episodes about major stars attempting to end the Blacklist, we’ll look at Frank Sinatra’s efforts to hire Hollywood Ten member Albert Maltz. Timing got in the way of Sinatra’s good intentions: this was the exact moment when Sinatra had become the coolest middle-aged man in America as “chairman of the board” of the newly-formed Vegas act now known as the Rat Pack. It was also the moment when Sinatra thought he was on the verge of acquiring real political power through his proximity to presidential candidate John F. Kennedy. Learn more about your ad choices.

My guest for this month is West Anthony, and he’s joined me to discuss the film he chose for me, the 1976 comedy-drama film The Front. You can follow the show on Twitter @cinemagadfly. Show notes: Not sure what happened to the audio in the introduction, apologies! The Hollywood blacklist is a term for the treatment of people in the entertainment industry who refused to name names to the House Un-American Activities Committee from 1947 to 1960 For a more in depth take on the blacklist, check out the latest season of the phenomenal You Must Remember This podcast WonderCon is a comic book convention that was held annually in SF until it was cruelly moved to the LA area in 2012. Yes I’m still bitter about it. West also recommends the Gabrielle de Cuir directed Thirty Years of Treason by Eric Bentley Among the people famously blacklisted were Lillian Hellman, Lionel Stander, Paul Robeson, and Zero Mostel This film was directed by blacklisted director Martin Ritt, who also directed the film from our third episode, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold I’m just not a fan of Woody Allen. He’s too painfully neurotic for me, even before I start thinking about whatever the hell happened with his daughter and step-daughter Another Woody film where he only acts is the Paul Mazursky film Scenes from a Mall I’ve been a huge fan of Fiddler on the Roof, and Zero Mostel in it, since I was a little kid Elia Kazan is one of the more interesting stories of directors and the blacklist The writer of this film, Walter Bernstein, was also blacklisted As were many of its stars, including Herschel Bernardi and Lloyd Gough So was the father of actress Julie Garfield, actor John Garfield, which may have contributed to his death from heart problems West’s reference to bodily fluids is, of course, from the excellent Dr. Strangelove Hallie Flanagan ran the Federal Theatre Project, as part of FDR’s WPA program She gave Orson Welles the money to make his Voodoo Macbeth She also gave Marc Blitzstein the money to make The Cradle Will Rock Which was remade in 1999 by Tim Robbins LBJ said in 1966 “I do not believe that this generation of Americans is willing to resign itself to going to bed each night by the light of a Communist moon” Red Channels named 151 entertainers it claimed were communists Trumbo is a 2015 film about Hollywood Ten member Dalton Trumbo Another film about the blacklist is 1991s Guilty by Suspicion, directed by Irwin Winkler and starring Robert De Niro One of the co-writers of Guilty by Suspicion was Abraham Polonsky, who also wrote and directed Force of Evil with John Garfield, but he was so offended by what Irwin Winkler did that he had his name removed from it Guilty by Suspicion also stars Annette Bening Good Night and Good Luck by George Clooney is about McCarthyism, not the blacklist, but it’s also a great film about government overreach Panic in the Streets is a 1950 film, directed by Elia Kazan, and starring Zero Mostel Both West and I think that On the Waterfront, written by Budd Schulberg, was a justification for Kazan’s willingness to name names Lee J. Cobb was also forced to testify in front of the committee Leonard Bernstein wrote the score for On the Waterfront, and the film featured incredible performances from Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, and Eva Marie Saint I still haven’t seen Hail, Caesar! yet, which is a damn shame Nothing better than comparing the work of the Coen brothers to that of fellow Criterion Collection auteur Michael Bay Paranoid American films from the 70s include Three Days of the Condor, Klute, The Parallax View, and All the President’s Men Everyone who reads this needs to go subscribe to Musical Notation with West Anthony.

Questa settimana parliamo di un film che non ha vinto agli Oscar, di un film che può tranquillamente gareggiare ai prossimi Oscar, e di un film che è molto particolare. Rispettivamente: "Trumbo", "Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot", "Anomalisa".https://youtu.be/ParMZS64VSE Il video della conferenza stampa di "Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot" http://www.wired.it/play/cinema/2015/08/14/dalton-trumbo-cranston/ Il pezzo di Fabio Deotto su Dalton Trumbohttp://flashes.ilpost.it/la-pagina-di-ringraziamento-del-boston-globe-per-gli-oscar-a-spotlight.html La pagina di ringraziamento del "Boston Globe" per l'Oscar a "Il caso Spotlight"

In the late 1940s, as the country was moving to the right and there was pressure on Hollywood to do the same, Katharine Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart and John Huston all protested HUAC in ways that damaged their public personas and their ability to work in Hollywood. Hepburn’s outspokenness resulted in headlines branding her a "Red" and, allegedly, audiences stoning her films. Bogart and Huston were prominent members of the Committee For the First Amendment, a group of Hollywood stars who came to Washington to support the Hollywood Ten -- and lived to regret it. With their career futures uncertain, the trio collaborated on the most difficult film any of them would ever make, The African Queen. This episode is brought to you by Squarespace.

2016's Berlinale Film Festival opened with a focus on the humanitarian crisis that is currently unfolding around us. Watershed's Cinema Curator Mark Cosgrove was at the festival and reports back on the winning film Fire at Sea – a powerful study of migrant crisis. He also shares his pick of the crop with new films from Isabelle Huppert, Gerard Depardieu, Terence Davies and a shocking documentary on the state of internet security today.

In 1947, the House Un-American Activities Committee subpoenaed dozens of Hollywood workers to come to Washington and testify to the presence of Communists in the film industry. 19 of those who were subpoenaed announced that they wouldn't co-operate with the Committee; of those 19, 10 "unfriendly" witnesses were called to the stand and refused to answer "The $64 Question": "Are you now or have you ever been a Communist?" Those 10 men were subsequently denied employment, imprisoned; afraid of collateral damage to the industry, the studio moguls were thus moved to design the Blacklist. This episode will explore the work and politics of the Hollywood Ten – and films on which they came together, such as Crossfire – and delve into the far-reaching consequences of their false assumption that the Constitution would protect them.

Director Jay Roach joins Elvis Mitchell to discuss the role screenwriter Dalton Trumbo played in the "Hollywood Ten" as told in the film Trumbo.

This episode will trace the roots of both communism and anti-communism in Hollywood, through the Depression, union struggles and scandals, and World War II. The major characters of the series will be introduced, including members of the Hollywood Ten like Dalton Trumbo and Edward Dmytryk, two Party members who collaborated on a film called Tender Comrade, which starred one of Hollywood's proudest Conservatives, Ginger Rogers. Tender Comrade epitomizes the political evolution that made the Blacklist happen: considered patriotic American propaganda during the War, the film was recast as problematically anti-capitalist after the war, and its makers branded with the epithet "prematurely anti-fascist."

Through the late 40's and 50's America's House Committee on Un-American Activities waged a war against communists and communist sympathisers, with special attention paid to the film industry. Through this period a significant number of screenwriters, directors and actors were called to account for their alleged beliefs, ruining lives and careers along the way. In this month's podcast Mark Cosgrove, Watershed Cinema Curator, discusses this dark time in Hollywood and the release this month of the entertaining and illuminating Trumbo – about the Hollywood screenwriter who was blacklisted after refusing to testify to the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1947.

Interview with Allan Ryskind, author of "Hollywood Traitors: Agents of Stalin, Allies of Hitler." Were the blacklisted "Hollywood Ten" victims or thugs? Why does Hollywood continue to idolize them? Was Casablanca a film of pro-Soviet propaganda? Was Colorado-born Dalton Trumbo a communist? On Karl Marx v. Groucho Marx. On the legacy of Ronald Reagan.
