We've been on a run of serious films, so it was time to mix in a Western comedy. At least, that's what this movie is supposed to be, but this is a comedy without a whole lot of jokes. We have some diverging opinions on this one, mostly coming down to the script, because this should be a much better movie than it is. But you can bet we both agree that James Garner is one of the most charming cutie-pies ever. Make sure to order the bars for the jail while we watch Support Your Local Sheriff! on Have a Good Movie!

I am reluctant to post much of anything about the current armed conflict in Gaza. As the saying goes, the first casualty in war is the truth, and the truth of this saying is manifest in Gaza. It is almost impossible to separate information from information operations by either side. The International Committee of the Red Cross cites allegations of grave beaches of the law of war by both sides. In previous episodes I described how war crimes make reaching peace even more difficult than it usually is. Nonetheless, if achieving peace seems insurmountable, a cease fire leading to non-kinetic conflict resolution may be possible if we listen and put pressure on each sides stated war aims.   These podcasts do not necessarily represent the views of the Department of Defense, the Army War College, or any other organization I am associated with     Music Liszt, F. and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Totentanz, https://download.stream.publicradio.org/podcast/minnesota/classical/programs/free-downloads/2020/10/27/daily_download_20201027_128.mp3?listeningSessionID=0CD_382_200__6cca22efd3d270af449f392040641d0331631df3 Copland, A. & United States Marine Band.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of sex work, sexual assault. Spaghetti westerns are their own unique style, their own flavor, and one of the key issues is the dialogue is almost always sloppy and cheesy. Yet Sergio Leone, a true master of filmmaking, took that to a different artistic height, and really made it perfect with this film. This film is impeccably shot, with spans of John Ford's favorite locations that would make the father of the genre salivate. The cast is top notch, with a truly evil villain made all the more bad by the fact that they got America's Dad to play him. The only thing missing is punchier dialogue, but when it comes to Leone, it's worth the eye rolls to wait for the next incredible shot.

It seems that the time has come in Putin's war on Ukraine that both sides indicate a willingness to negotiate. But negotiate what? This episode moves on from what is necessary for a sustainable peace, what Putin's real goals are in his war on Ukraine, and propose a possible path forward. I introduced this possible path in In Episode 104. This episode sets that idea in the context of the previous two episodes and the recent political and military developments.

Det finns begrepp som fångar tidsandan oerhört väl, oavsett om vi betraktar kungars och kejsares matvanor och konstnärliga smak eller om vi skärskådar vanliga bönders estetiska uppfattning. Ett sådant begrepp är barocken, som i Sverige är intimt förknippad med stormaktstiden.Barocken var en vidareutveckling av 1500-talets antikvurmande renässans inom konst och arkitektur. Stilen kännetecknades av stora och svulstiga former med konvexa och konkava inslag, riklig pompa och ståt, samt ett starkt fokus på ljusdunkel, dramatiska rörelser och – särskilt i parker – sträng symmetri. Stilen passade utmärkt för 1600-talets absoluta statsmakter med enväldiga furstar, vilka manifesterade sin makt i många europeiska riken. Den användes även för att förhärliga kristendomen, både i dess protestantiska och katolska form, och nådde därmed ut till landsbygdens socknar och deras kyrkor.I Västsverige har termen ”bondbarock” myntats för att beskriva de kulturella ideal som slog rot i bondesamhället när stilen sipprade ned genom de sociala hierarkierna. Men barocken var mer än så: den omfattade musikaliska experiment, gigantiska slottsbyggen, vetenskapliga framsteg, pestkyrkor och den svenska skönlitteraturens födelse, med namn som Georg Stiernhielm och Lasse Lucidor. Även en av våra mest kända svenska psalmer – ”Den blomstertid nu kommer” – är ett barn av barocktiden.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om barocken – den stil- och kulturyttring som präglade Europa under 1600-talet och de första decennierna av 1700-talet.Bild: "Fontana di Trevi i Rom, ett praktfullt exempel på barockens formspråk med sina dramatiska rörelser, symmetriska komposition och skulpturala överdåd. Fontänen färdigställdes 1762 och förkroppsligar barockens vilja att blända och beröra. Foto: NikonZ7II – Eget arbete.

The MASKS AND MUSIC: THE FILMS OF WILLI FORST strand of last year's Il Cinema Ritrovato, curated by Lukas Foerster, was so popular that I was unable to see any of them. Richard is more organised and came out raving about two: MASQUERADE/ MASKERADE (1934) and TOMFOOLERY/ ALLOTRIA, (1936). Luckily for us The Internet Archive has a very good copy of Maskerade which enabled us to see it (or in Richard's case, to see it again). In the podcast below we talk about the film in relation to the Wiener Genre, Authorship, Anton Walbrook's career (he is here billed as Adolf Walbrook), the difficulties of dealing with works from authoritarian regimes, how it was the most popular film of its year in the German-speaking world. More specifically we discuss the rhythms of the opening scene, Anton Walbrook's introduction, the narrative invention of the narration of the publication of the muff drawiing, the mise-en-scéne, the influence of vaudeville and the film's intent on pleasing. We relate the film to Lubitsch's work and comment on how a particular shot of a camera seeming to float through a window might have influenced Minnelli (in Meet Me in St. Louis) and, according to Mark Fuller, Powell & Pressburger (The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp). All this and much more may be listened to in the podcast below:

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of brownface. If this movie is the rebirth of the Western, it'd be hard to tell because it's a real mess. It's a classic, and it absolutely makes sense why, but it's also a total mess of a film. No one knows what movie they're supposed to be in, the script is missing a ton of connective tissue, and Steve McQueen has the audacity to be bad at acting and an insufferable tool. Still, Yul Brynner and Charles Bronson are total badasses, and this Western via samurai flick manages to be a little entertaining. But really, just go watch Seven Samurai instead.

Although diplomacy should not end when fighting begins, there are two conditions in war where one or more parties will seek to negotiate peace. One is when victory looks improbable, the other is when it looks certain. Which of these conditions is emerging in Ukraine? More importantly, which of these two conditions does Putin perceive as operative? In either condition, is negotiation leading to a sustainable peace realistic? Answering that question requires understanding what Putin really wants from his war, and what he will accept to get out of it.   Reference: Samuel Charap, Khrystyna Holynska, Russia's War Aims in Ukraine, http://www.rand.org/t/RRA2061-6   Music: Holst, “The Planets: Mars Bringer of War,” downloaded from the Internet Archive https://archive.org/details/lp_holst-the-planets_gustav-holst-leopold-stokowski-los-angeles

OA1183 - We continue our ongoing look at some of our favorite Warren Court-era Supreme Court cases with this one-line 1958 decision finding as a matter of law that one of the most important LGTBQ magazines in U.S. history was not publishing obscenity. We begin by trying to find anything resembling smut in the archived pages of ONE magazine before Matt explains a bit more about the history of obscenity law in the U.S. and how Roth v U.S. changed everything just before ONE's cert petition was taken up. Jenessa gets into the proven psychological benefits of being allowed to be who you are in public, and we consider the state of obscenity law today and who still might want to use it. Roth v.

Cavemen. Dinosaurs. Lasers. Robots. A mysterious medallion. A talking box. Choice meats! And oh that theme song. This barely begins to dip into the brain-bending fountain of wonders that is YOR, THE HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE. Javi, Paul and - intrepidly - Producer Brad have ventured to Yor's World and returned forever changed by this Italian adaptation of an Argentinian graphic novel that was distilled from a four-hour television mini-series, and is criminally unavailable on any streaming service or for digital rental or purchase. But they would not be denied (thank you Internet Archive), even though it required Javi to heed the film's counsel (“We will need a lot more hemp before we're through.”), while Paul Plot was sent into a fugue state. Because while we're all well-versed in spaghetti Westerns, this is a spaghetti fantasy that takes a stunning turn into spaghetti sci-fi, and somehow blurs the lines between bad and great, and stupid and genius — rendering this week's episode an absolute fever dream.

Today Professor Kozlowski takes on the political philosophy of the Medieval (and early modern) Christian world, as a cross-section of ideas and interpretations made by Christian political philosophers. Our readings for today hail from:City of God by Augustine of HippoSumma Theologica by Thomas Aquinas"Temporal Authority: To What Extent it Should be Obeyed" by Martin Luther (requires a free Internet Archives account to borrow)Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin (Chapter XIX: par. 15 and Chapter XX: On Civil Government, par. I, II, III, and XXIX)Along the way we'll encounter a wide variety of different interpretations of Biblical theology, and an even wider variety of applications for Christians trying to figure out how to live their lives in secular society. And we might even find some surprise cameos by ideas thought to originate in later, less Christian times.Additional readings this week mostly surround historical events, but I recommend Dante's De Monarchia and, for my gamers, Crusader Kings II (I haven't played III yet, but it's probably also good...)If you're interested in Professor Kozlowski's other online projects, check out his website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

Our next film should, by all rights, be one of the greatest all-time Westerns even made. Instead, it's a mealy-mouthed, boring, limp noodle of a movie that's stuck trying too hard to be a Big Deal instead of being the allegory for McCarthyism it was written to be. Fred Zinneman has shots for days, but he can't get convincing performances from his actors, and nobody in the cast can convincingly portray the real tension of this movie. Sure, it makes sense why this resonates today. But overall it's a real slog to sit through. Watch the clocks as we watch 1952's High Noon on Have a Good Movie!

Slaget vid Gettysburg i Pennsylvania den 1-3 juli 1863 är kanske det mest kända slaget i det amerikanska inbördeskriget. Platsen var resultatet av att två arméer sökte varandra. Runt 300 skandinaver deltog vid Gettysburg.Vändpunkten i kriget hade kommit redan vid slaget vid Antietam året innan, men efter Gettysburg kunde rebellarmén inte längre föra kriget på sina egna villkor.Detta är det andra av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu där programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med journalisten och författaren Niclas Sennerteg, aktuell med boken Gettysburg – svenskarna som stred i amerikanska inbördeskriget.Det amerikanska inbördeskriget rasade mellan 1861 och 1865 och är det dödligaste kriget i USA:s historia. Slaget vid Gettysburg utkämpades under tre intensiva dagar mellan den 1 och 3 juli 1863.Den första dagen inleddes med att general John Bufords kavalleri lyckades hålla tillbaka de framryckande konfedererade trupperna. Bland de mest stridbara förbanden fanns Järnbrigaden, där soldater med svensk-norskt ursprung deltog i Michiganregementet. Dessa enheter spelade en avgörande roll i att pressa tillbaka sydstatssoldaterna och skapade oreda i Unionens elfte kår.Den 2 juli blev slagfältet ännu mer kaotiskt, särskilt vid platser som Peach Orchard och Little Round Top, där Unionens förflyttningar visade sig vara strategiskt avgörande. Samtidigt förvandlades det så kallade Wheatfield till ett blodigt skärselden av närstrider, där båda sidor led svåra förluster.Den 3 juli kulminerade striderna i det berömda anfallet känt som Pickett's Charge – ett frontalangrepp över öppna fält mot Unionens linjer vid Cemetery Ridge. Resultatet blev en katastrof för konfederationen. Angreppet slogs tillbaka med förödande förluster, vilket tvingade general Robert E. Lee att inleda reträtt – en vändpunkt som gav nordstaterna övertaget i kriget.Efterdyningarna av slaget var förödande. Uppemot 51 000 soldater beräknas ha dödats, sårats eller försvunnit under de tre dagarna. Fältsjukhusen var ofta kaotiska och bristfälligt utrustade, men vissa leddes av svenska läkare, som Dr Charles J. Nordquist, som försökte bringa ordning i kaoset. Många av de döda lades i provisoriska massgravar, en tragisk men nödvändig realitet i slagets efterspel.De som överlevde återvände ofta till civila livet. Flera av de invandrade soldaterna, både svenska och norska, skulle senare bli framgångsrika bönder eller småföretagare i det växande Amerika – en tyst men bestående konsekvens av det blodiga slaget vid Gettysburg.Bild: Slaget vid Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, den 3 juli 1863, skildrat i en handkolorerad litografi av Currier och Ives. Bilden visar ett avgörande ögonblick under det amerikanska inbördeskriget, där nordstaterna till slut segrade efter tre dagars blodiga strider.

Svenskarna hade nyss anlänt till USA och knappt hunnit rota sig eller lära sig språket. Ändå kom tusentals skandinaver att frivilligt slåss i det amerikanska inbördeskriget. De flesta på unionssidan.Trots språkliga hinder och kulturellt främlingskap drog tusentals skandinaver på sig uniformen. Allt ifrån tjänstlediga adliga officerare som Ernst von Vegesack till utvandrade meniga kavallerister som bröderna Gron från Småland deltog i kriget.Detta är det första av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu där programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med journalisten och författaren Niclas Sennerteg, aktuell med boken Gettysburg – svenskarna som stred i amerikanska inbördeskriget.Det amerikanska inbördeskriget rasade mellan 1861 och 1865 och är det dödligaste kriget i USA:s historia, med över 750 000 döda. Konflikten bröt ut när elva sydstater bröt sig ur unionen i protest mot att Abraham Lincoln vann presidentvalet och farhågorna om att slaveriet skulle begränsas eller avskaffas. Nordstaterna ville bevara unionen och så småningom även avskaffa slaveriet, medan sydstaterna kämpade för självstyre och bevarandet av en slavbaserad ekonomi.Men kriget handlade om mer än slaveri. Det var också en kamp om ekonomiska intressen, statlig kontra federal makt och en djup kulturell klyfta mellan nord och syd.Tusentals skandinaver deltog i kriget, nästan uteslutande på nordstaternas sida. För många var beslutet att strida långt ifrån självklart. Dessa var människor som nyligen lämnat fattigdom och svält i Sverige för ett bättre liv – och nu stod de inför att riskera livet i ett krig vars orsaker ofta var komplexa och oklara för dem.Ändå drogs de med. Inte bara av plikten eller pengarna, utan av hopp, press och identitet. För vissa var det ett sätt att visa sin lojalitet mot sitt nya land, för andra handlade det om att motverka den växande främlingsfientligheten mot immigranter. Att slåss för unionen blev ett sätt att bevisa att man hörde hemma i det amerikanska samhället.Många svenskar värvade sig frivilligt. Ibland för att få medborgarskap, ibland för att få lön – men också av övertygelse. Slaveriets brutalitet var känd även i Sverige, och för vissa blev kampen mot detta system ett moraliskt kall. Men lika ofta var det praktiska skäl som avgjorde: att ha mat, få ett sammanhang, tjäna pengar eller helt enkelt följa sina kamrater.Det finns också belägg för att en mindre grupp svenskar stred för sydstaterna. De var oftast bosatta i sydliga delstater redan innan kriget och värvades lokalt. Deras motiv kunde variera: socialt tryck, lokal lojalitet eller rädsla att sticka ut. Men deras berättelser är långt färre och mindre dokumenterade än de som stred för unionen.Bildtext: Unionstrupper ur general William T.H.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of racism against Natives, bullying, animal cruelty. Grab your six shooters and your saddles, we're kicking off our first-ever Westerns series! There's a lot in the genre for us to catch up on, and we start this week with a seminal film, one whose importance is unfortunately the only thing it's really got going for it. John Ford practically created the Western as we know making this movie but the dialogue and the characters are so rigid that it's somehow boring for a 90-minute movie. Still, if you've ever rolled your eyes at John Wayne and wondered "how the hell did he get to be a movie star", look no further than his performance here, smoldering and intense while staying relatable. The cast is pretty great, and the stunts are on par with anything that can be done with wires today. Still, this one is more "important" than a fun hang, so proceed with caution.

A growing concern among digital commentators is whether artificial intelligence is irreversibly distorting the internet. Once a conspiracy, dead internet theory now reflects widespread anxiety about AI-generated content and its impact on online authenticity. AI-written articles, spam-like social posts and misinformation have contributed to fears that human-created content is being overwhelmed. Alex Hern, AI writer at The Economist, explains how user behaviour mimicking algorithms helped the idea take root, while Isis Blachez from NewsGuard outlines how Russian-linked sites are laundering propaganda to influence AI outputs. Mark Graham, Director of the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive, describes how the organisation is adapting its efforts to preserve online content in a post-AI era. Christiane Amanpour, CNN's Chief International Anchor, reflects on changes to the news industry since she began reporting during the first Gulf War. From accusations of “fake news” by political leaders to the challenges of reporting on the Gaza conflict amid restrictions on access, she describes unprecedented pressures on international journalism. Amanpour also discusses her new foreign affairs podcast co-hosted with her ex-husband and former US diplomat James Rubin, The Ex Files.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of sexual abuse of minors by clergy. While no explicit mentions are made of actions or abuse, listener discretion is advised. This one has been on our must watch list since it came out, and somehow it lingered for 10 years. In fact, you might suspect we did this series just to watch this movie, and you'd be at least a little bit right. Fortunately, the film doesn't disappoint, taking the well-worn movie journalism formula and taking it in a completely different direction. This movie is all about subtlety, accuracy, and most of all, real human storytelling. There's very few frills involved and very few liberties taken, which is the perfect way to tell the story of uncovering one of the most heinous abuses of power and trust in human history. There's no hero worship and no easy answers here, just plain great storytelling. No wonder it won Best Picture. We're finish on a high note with 2015's Spotlight on Have a Good Movie!

"Darrin is super comfortable in himself. Darrin knows he is not the powerful one 'cause he is like, ‘I married a witch'…  It's nice to see a dude that loves his wife.” - Marty SchneiderHosts Susan Lambert Hatem and Sharon Johnson team up with Marty Schneider and Dan Ludwig of the Breaking Mayberry podcast for a magical, hilarious crossover! In this bonus episode, the crew dives into the world of “Bewitched,” focusing on Season 2, Episode 2: “A Very Special Delivery,” where Samantha is pregnant, Darrin is doting, and then not. Chaos (and comedy) ensue when Endora curses Darren to experience pregnancy symptoms himself. In this episode:The legacy of “Bewitched” and its place among TV's “magical women” sitcomsComparing 1960s and 1990s TV, and the evolution of family and gender roles on screenThe real-life pregnancy of Elizabeth Montgomery and how it shaped the showA deep-dive into the episode's plot: overprotective husbands, meddling mothers-in-law, and the infamous “pickle scene”The gender-bending, trope-twisting humor of making a man “pregnant” on 1960s TVEndora's iconic role as both antagonist and secret heroThe surprising (and sometimes cringeworthy) moments of 60s sitcoms, from beds on TV to threats of domestic violenceFun behind-the-scenes trivia: recurring character actors, colorized vs. black-and-white, and more!“Who's the figure from Greek myth, the oracle that was like both a man and a woman, which made them incredibly wise? I feel like Darrin by season six is going to be the ultimate version of that because he has been a man, a woman, a monkey, a dinosaur, probably a race car driver.” - Dan LudwigPlus:The “Breaking Mayberry” team shares insights from their own podcast, which explores the weird messages and generational impact of classic TVCrossover fun: Listen to Part 1 on Breaking Mayberry, where the group covers “Alias Darrin Stephens” (Season 2, Episode 1)Where to watch “Bewitched” for free, and how to find more from both podcasts“I think in terms of Endora, this was one of the best episodes for her character.

Plus, Mark Graham from the Internet Archive discusses how the organisation is approaching its task in the age of AI.Christiane Amanpour is CNN's Chief International Anchor and host of Amanpour on CNN and PBS.

CONTENT WARNING: occupation, assassination, Israel & Palestine. We try not to be too political on this show, but sometimes a movie forces our hand. Still, Spielberg's third labor of love isn't a mess because of its subject matter. Instead, it's a messy rush job that has little to no historical value and also fails at being an entertaining movie. Nothing about this story passes the smell test, down to the fact that it looks like a crappy action movie from 2005. We know you can do better, Steven. We're rounding up a group of assassins and wondering if we're the baddies as we watch 2005's Munich on Have a Good Movie!
