Podcasts about In Country

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we talk about Bruce Willis, one of our great American movie stars. A man with perfect angles and a perfectly imperfect hairline. The man who spoke up for Seagram's Golden when nobody else would. It's wet and it's dry. Play that harmonica, Bruno! Our guest today is the great Jen Johans, host of the Watch With Jen podcast. Our B-Sides include In Country, Mortal Thoughts, Disney's The Kid, and Richard Donner's final film, 16 Blocks. We discuss Willis' early career, his propensity to try new things, and the sad and unfair dismissal of Hudson Hawk. We examine how his acting chops evolved throughout a very turbulent ‘90s decade, culminating in an incredible run of success birthed from a controversial, canceled movie called Broadway Brawler. There's a lot of love for the underrated crime comedy Bandits, that song he did with June Pointer (seek out the album The Return of Bruno and the companion “documentary” if you get a few free minutes today), and the lovely Robert Benton picture Nobody's Fool. And then there's that opening car chase in Striking Distance. Incredible work there. Oh, and that cameo in The Player. And finally, in honor of our subject, please go to https://aphasia.org/ and donate if you are so inclined. Here's to you Bruce, you're one of one.

The untold story of Chicago's pivotal role as a country and folk music capital. Chicago is revered as a musical breeding ground, having launched major figures like blues legend Muddy Waters, gospel soul icon Mavis Staples, hip-hop firebrand Kanye West, and the jazz-rock band that shares its name with the city. Far less known, however, is the vital role Chicago played in the rise of prewar country music, the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s, and the contemporary offspring of those scenes. In Country and Midwestern: Chicago in the History of Country Music and the Folk Revival (U Chicago Press, 2023), veteran journalist Mark Guarino tells the epic century-long story of Chicago's influence on sounds typically associated with regions further south. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and deep archival research, Guarino tells a forgotten story of music, migration, and the ways that rural culture infiltrated urban communities through the radio, the automobile, and the railroad. The Midwest's biggest city was the place where rural transplants could reinvent themselves and shape their music for the new commercial possibilities the city offered. Years before Nashville emerged as the commercial and spiritual center of country music, major record labels made Chicago their home and recorded legendary figures like Bill Monroe, The Carter Family, and Gene Autry. The National Barn Dance--broadcast from the city's South Loop starting in 1924--flourished for two decades as the premier country radio show before the Grand Ole Opry. Guarino chronicles the makeshift niche scenes like "Hillbilly Heaven" in Uptown, where thousands of relocated Southerners created their own hardscrabble honky-tonk subculture, as well as the 1960s rise of the Old Town School of Folk Music, which eventually brought national attention to local luminaries like John Prine and Steve Goodman. The story continues through the end of the twentieth century and into the present day, where artists like Jon Langford, The Handsome Family, and Wilco meld contemporary experimentation with country traditions. Featuring a foreword from Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Robbie Fulks and casting a cross-genre net that stretches from Bob Dylan to punk rock, Country and Midwestern rediscovers a history as sprawling as the Windy City--celebrating the creative spirit that modernized American folk idioms, the colorful characters who took them into new terrain, and the music itself, which is still kicking down doors even today. Mark Guarino covers national news and culture from Chicago for the Washington Post, ABC News, the New York Times, and other outlets. He was the Midwest bureau chief for the Christian Science Monitor for seven years. Mark on Twitter.

Christian Holloway was just a mild mannered, all-American, belt-fed marine, right up until he found himself being deployed as infantry to the second battle of Fallujah. It was far from the only time he'd find himself in a tough spot - Christian's got more than one story of close calls, stray squirters, and unexploded rocket-propelled grenades courtesy of Saddam's best and brightest.Eventually his experiences led him to becoming one of the earliest members of MARSOC, the Marine Special Operations Command that's now known as the Marine Raiders, where he found even more action from an entirely different side of the globe. That's why he's sitting down today to tell us all about it. ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro02:05 - Why Are We Here?10:08 - David Goggins Can't Hurt Me17:03 - I Wanted to Fly Planes23:33 - In Country, Out of Options37:27 - The Craziest Gunfight I Got Into47:52 - Everybody's Got a Plan Until First Contact01:02:45 - They Weren't Pulling Pins01:14:08 - Searching Bodies for Intel01:22:47 - Post-Deployment Leave01:28:32 - Second Deployment01:47:49 - IED Developments----------Support Christian Holloway - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chris.holloway_fiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs1jwxG_W_NAVVX8KlZ-MigLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-holloway1----------Sponsors: MUD/WTRGo to https://www.mudwtr.com/mike to support the show and use code MIKEMUD for 15% off----------1st Phorm https://www.1stphorm.com/mikedrop | Free shipping on all orders over $75 when you use the link!----------BioProteinUse code MIKEDROP to save $30 on your first order at https://www.bioproteintech.com----------Fueled by TeamDog | www.mikeritlandco.com | @Teamdog.petALL THINGS MIKE RITLAND:SHOP for Fueled By Team Dog Performance Dog Food, Treats, Apparel, Accessories, and Protection dogs - MikeRitlandCo.com - https://www.MikeRitlandCo.com Team Dog Online dog training - TeamDog.pet - https://www.TeamDog.petThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5531509/advertisement

The brothers embark on a discussion centered around the 1989 Bruce Willis film: "In Country." Transporting us to a distinct era, that brief period between the late 80s and early 90s, the movie presents a snapshot of a post-Vietnam America. Against the backdrop of a senseless and devastating war, ordinary individuals grapple with its aftermath. Surprisingly understated and with seemingly low stakes, the film showcases remarkable performances that leave a lasting impact.Yet what sets "In Country" apart is its extraordinary nuance, defying easy categorization as a patriotic work. Despite this, it paradoxically emerges as intensely patriotic precisely because it possesses the audacity to confront the truth. It fearlessly explores America's soul-searching journey after perpetrating imperialist atrocities abroad. This intricate portrayal is far too nuanced to fit into a simplistic patriotic narrative, yet its very essence embodies a fervent patriotism rooted in the courage to embrace uncomfortable truths.Within the episode, the brothers fearlessly dissect the myriad layers of "In Country," unearthing its profound commentary. By delving into the macro issues at hand, such as race relations in America, they provide fresh perspectives that breathe new life into this perennially discussed classic. Join them as they navigate the depths of this thought-provoking film, illuminating how it manages to simultaneously challenge and reaffirm the nation's collective spirit.Instagram: @thirstyformorepresentsTwitter: @morethirstyJoin us on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/thirstyformoreand YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyVV223fWcNenwcwugHfmA
