Last April, Film Comment invited writer Adam Shatz on the Podcast to talk about The Rebel's Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon, his new biography of the Martinican writer, psychiatrist, and anti-colonial revolutionary. The Podcast explored Fanon's lasting impression on the world of cinema since his untimely death in 1961—and it became the basis for a four-day series of screenings and talks we presented last weekend, called The Rebel's Cinema—Frantz Fanon on Screen. The series took place at four cinemas across New York City, beginning at Film at Lincoln Center with Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger (1975), moving to Maysles Documentary Center in Harlem for Gillo Pontecorvo's Burn!, (1969), winding down to the Brooklyn Academy of Music for Ivan Dixon's The Spook Who Sat by the Door (1973), and finishing up at Anthology Film Archives with Sarah Maldoror's Monangambeee (1969) and Assia Djebar's The Zerda and the Songs of Forgetting (1982). Each screening was followed by a Q&A with special guests, which we're excited to share this week on the Podcast. For our fourth and final episode, Film Comment editor Devika Girish welcomes Adam and filmmaker and artist Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich to discuss Maldoror's masterful 1969 directorial debut, Monagambeee, about a political prisoner in Portuguese-ruled Angola, as well as The Zerda and the Songs of Forgetting, novelist Djebar's 1982 archival elegy to the Algerian freedom struggle and women's place within it.

In “It's A Wonderful Life,” BEULAH BONDI played the most loving mother to JAMES STEWART. Ma Bailey is the epitome of sweetness, kindness, and supportiveness so it's quite shocking when we meet the Ma Bailey who would have existed had George Bailey not been born. She's cold, bitter, and unkind. It gives Bondi the wonderful opportunity to play two versions of the same character, which she does flawlessly. So to celebrate Mother's Day, Nan and Steve are taking a page from Bondi's playbook as they discuss the good and bad mothers of classic cinema.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Moms in the Movies (2014), by Richard Corliss; Actresses of a Certain Character (2007), by Axel Nissen; Irene Dunne: First Lady of Hollywood (2006), by Wes D.

In his new book The Rebel's Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon, Adam Shatz writes that, “The American poet Amiri Baraka described James Baldwin, who was born a year before Fanon, as ‘God's Black revolutionary mouth.' What Baldwin was for America, Fanon was for the world, especially the insurgent Third World, those subjects of European empires who had been denied what Edward Said called the ‘permission to narrate.'” Shatz's book explores, in lucid detail, the complex life and thought of the Martinican psychiatrist and anticolonial theorist,  whose life was tragically cut short in 1961. Fanon's epochal books Black Skin, White Mask and The Wretched of the Earth have long been a source of inspiration for politically minded filmmakers, including Med Hondo, Claire Denis, and many others. Film Comment Editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute invited Adam on the podcast to talk about Fanon's interest in cinema, filmmakers who've engaged the theorist's works, and what exactly makes a movie “Fanonian.” In addition to films by Hondo and Denis, we talked about Ivan Dixon's The Spook Who Sat by the Door, Antonioni's The Passenger, Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers, Ousmane Sembène's Black Girl, and more.

Nathan and Eppy hit the runway in S5E12 With the French Heel Back, Can the Nehru Jacket Be Far Behind? After a discussion of the very interesting life of director Ivan Dixon, we join Jim as he investigates the death of a model friend who called him for help. This quickly brings him to fellow-(former)-model Alta (Erin Gray) and then avant-garde designer Masters (Rene Auberjonois). Jim seems to be the only one who sees a connection between the deaths both of his friend and a high-profile socialite who ran in similar circles, and things escalate as he continues to push for the truth.

4,000 Downloads! Thank you! So in return for this gift, I give you...   Lou Christie - Guardian Angels 12" Dance Mix (1981) Producer Ed O'Laughlin co-founded Next Plateau Records, which featured (and was kept afloat with sales by) early Salt 'N' Pepa. On the left is Curtis Sliwa. The 1981 CBS made-for-TV movie We're Fighting Back, featuring Bronx-born Ellen Barkin, was based on the Guardian Angels. Al Martino - Volare (Disco version) (1976) POACA know this song from multiple recordings and performances by Dean Martin, Conny Francis, Bobby Rydell, The Ames Brothers, Wayne Newton, Barry White, even David Bowie. And here it is in Disco form.  From Wikipedia: Franco Migliacci (the composer) began working on the lyrics of the song in June 1957, inspired by two paintings by Marc Chagall. He had planned to go to the sea with Domenico Modugno, but while waiting for Modugno to show up, Migliacci started drinking wine and eventually fell asleep. He had vivid dreams, and when he woke up, he looked at the Chagall paintings (reproductions) on the wall. In "Le coq rouge" was a yellow man suspended in midair, while in "Le peintre et la modelle", half the painter's face was coloured blue. So he began penning a song about a man who dreams of painting himself blue, and being able to fly. Later that same night, Migliacci discussed his lyrics with Modugno, and for several days they worked on the song, tentatively entitled "Sogno in blu" ('Dream in blue').  In 2008, Modugno's widow, Franca Gandolfi, recalled that her husband, after a storm forced open his window, had the idea of modifying the chorus of the song, introducing the word "Volare," which is now the popular title of the song. Blondie - Once I Had A Love (Heart Of Glass) (1978)  The Lettermen - The Way You Look Tonight (Disco version) (1976) D. C. (David) LaRue - Do You Want The Real Thing (1978) Read about D. C. LaRue here. He was a dance artist through and through, but that could only take him so far. But I like his voice, the fact that he didn't (or couldn't) fill the songs with grace notes. Pet peeve, that.  D. C. LaRue - Don't Keep It in the Shadows (feat. Lou Christie) (1977) This is basically a "You Should Be Dancin’" clone. I love the grunts at the end. Only some are mine.  D. C. LaRue - Have A Good Time (feat. Rita Moreno) (1979) Like Michael Franks. A little.  Bill Saluga  - Dancin’ Johnson (1978)  Exile – Heart and Soul (1981) Huge hit for Huey Lewis and the News. Didn't know it was a cover, did ya? Mike Chapman produced "Heart Of Glass" (the hit version you don't hear on this show) "The Tide Is High", "Sunday Girl", "Atomic" and "Rapture" for Blondie, the band of the early '80s. Chinn/Chapman wrote "Kiss You All Over" for this very same Exile, and too many credits to type out here.  Free Design - Hurry Sundown (1968) Lou Christie - People (1978) This is a pretty good production for a song that isn't listed in Discogs, Wikipedia, etc. Lou says this was released as a single in 1978, attendant to the short-lived People TV show of the same year. if either of you can find a reference to it, let me know. There's a fin in it for ya. And if you can find the RECORD, so I can buy it, I'll do a "Rasputin" dance on Reels for you.  Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan - Street Player (1978) Lou Christie and Pia Zadora - Don't Knock My Love (1980) Cover of Wilson Pickett's last Top 20 song, from 1971. What an odd choice of cover. I love Lou, but between him and Pia, they didn't possess any soul or chemistry whatsoever.  Lou Christie - Clouds of Rock Roll On (?) I just know it was before his 2nd (and pretty needless) Greatest Hits album in 1994. Ah, record companies. Is there anything they can't make artists do? Ivan Dixon - Shoo Shoo Baby (1966) POACA recall a top-rated TV show from the '60s called Hogan's Heroes. It was a heart-warming (if somewhat flat) arc about a bunch of American POWs in Germany during WW2, constantly befuddling, bedeviling, and flummoxing the oblivious Colonel Klink and the lovable Sgt. Schultz, while American and Russian soldiers scythed their way through Europe, trying to close the circle in the city of Berlin in a seemingly endless Bacchanalian traveling parade of rape, destruction, desecration, and madness. And don't get me started on the Germans. Aaaaannnnnnyhow, this was from the album made by the cast, which included Richard Dawson (high on goofballs in this picture), who parlayed his place in that ensemble to star in Match Game '74 and Family Feud, but began his recording career in earnest by recording "Apples and Oranges." Ivan Dixon had an even smaller role, but his performance shines. By comparison. I...guess? Suggested by Dan Lewis. He LOVES Nazi silverware. And dolls.  Lou Christie - Spanish Wine (1977) Stephen Tom Electronic Tape Experiment (1978)  Stephen Tom produced groundbreaking electronic music during the post-war years until the late 1970s. He passed away practically ignored by his peers in 1984. Very little is known about him other than that he was a radio engineer during the blitz of London and that he freelanced for Benson Fairlight at his Little Venice studios producing jingles for radio + TV advertisements. A single reel of Tom's electronic experiments was found in a box of personal tapes belonging to the composer Cissy Wakefield. The Velvet Underground - Friends (1973) Blondie - Once I Had A Love (aka "The Disco Song") (1975) D. C. LaRue (with Lou Christie) - Into The Ozone (1980)

(Two tons to Taos tonight 1975) Robert Downey Sr. directs this cosmic classic. (Exorcist 2 1977) Zardoz director brings us Darth Vader dressed as a locust. And finally we have (Hot stuff 1979) Where Dom DeLuise tries to give us a severely unrealistic fun movie about fighting crime. Thanks for listening.

In this episode, the second part of our exploration of African Americans in film, Team Vintage Sand shifts its focus to the people behind the camera. Remember that it was not until Gordon Parks directed his autobiographical "The Learning Tree" in 1969 that Hollywood released a major film by a black director. What followed in its wake was the mixed blessing of “Blaxploitation” in the early 1970’s, which in turn inspired the first major wave of black directors, led by Spike Lee and John Singleton in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Now, at the turn of a new decade, we are witnessing a golden era for Black filmmakers, led by the commercial and artistic successes of artists like Ryan Coogler, Ava Duvernay, Barry Jenkins, Jordan Peele and many others. And we are also beginning to see, especially through the efforts of Tyler Perry, the first major studios created and owned by African-American artists and financiers. Our goal in this episode is twofold. On one hand, we talk about some of the lesser-known and forgotten work by some of these major directors. At the same time, we try to call attention to more obscure films, such as Charles Burnett’s "Killer of Sheep" (1977), Ivan Dixon’s one-of-a-kind "The Spook Who Sat by the Door"(1973) and Julie Dash’s incomparable "Daughters of the Dust" (1992, obscure no longer, thanks to Beyonce’s "Lemonade" film). Our hope is simply to open and perhaps reopen some doors for our audience. As with our previous episode, we are hoping that our listeners will share our experience in having the opportunity to re-examine their own assumptions and to look for different lenses through which to view this rich and complex history.

Yes, if you've come here via the website you'll know our ordering is out of whack, but if iTunes tells us it's ep 171, then who are we to argue.  This week, still in iso, Dan and Pete chat with Ivan Dixon and Jacob Janerka, the creators of the trailer for the game about nothing, Seinfeld Adventure, the game about nothing. Let's get this game of the ground people! You know what to do.  The boys also chat with Philip Molodkovets, EP of World of Warships! They hosted a live event to commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day with a virtual Fleet Review and Parade.  How epic is gaming?  The boys also wax lyrical about the rumours that Cate Blanchett will be playing Lilith in a potential Borderlands movie. Will it be an inspired move?  Also, the bloody big question. Last week's poll gets broken down and we ask the new one, what's the great thing gaming or a gamer has given you?  Game on legends! 

In this week's episode, we gush over the 1976 funky classic day-in-the-life comedy, CAR WASH. Starring Bill Duke, Ivan Dixon, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and The Pointer Sisters. Check it out.

George reflects on the role of trauma in black art. A slice of American history provides insight into the ghettoisation of African voices, leading to a strangely familiar story. Written by George The Poet. Produced by Benbrick & George The Poet. Original music by Benbrick. Featured songs: Across 110th Street by Bobby Womack, The Message by Grandmaster Flash, Ghetto Quran by 50 Cent, Many Men (Wish Death) by 50 Cent Featured guests: Julie Adenuga as Dija This episode features clips taken from Foxy Brown, Trouble Man, The Spook Who Sat By The Door, and The Mack. It also features comments from Vonetta McGee, Oscar Williams, and Jim Brown taken from the documentary Black Hollywood: Blaxploitation And Advancing An Independent Black Cinema (1984). The clip of Cicely Tyson is taken from an interview with ABC News (1972) and appears at 00:07:26. These comments on Blaxploitation are chosen to show that black people working within different areas of the movie industry had similar reservations and concerns in how black people were being used as accessories, and that even back in the 1970’s-1980’s that feeling was understood and could be voiced clearly and concisely. The quotes by Ari Melber on 50 Cent growing up in Queens and surviving a 9-shot gun attack are taken from the October 2nd episode of The Beat With Ari Melber produced by MSNBC Network. Clip appears at 00:23:23. Foxy Brown (1974) directed by Jack Hill. Production Company: American International Pictures (AIP), Hollywood West Entertainment.

Started singing early, formed a girl group at age eleven. Changed her name to Chaka Adunne Aduffe Hodarhi Karifi at thirteen and started running around with the Fred Hampton and the Panthers.  In 1969, at age16, she dropped out of high school, left the Panthers, and focused on singing with local bands. In 1973, she joined the band Rufus. The first album in 1973 was a dud, but Stevie Wonder was so impressed by Chaka Khan's vocals, he wanted to write a song specifically for her. "Tell Me Something Good", written by Stevie, on their 1974 album won a Grammy. (He also played harmonica on 'I Feel For You'.). But, because of her increasing popularity the record label started calling the group Rufus "Featuring" Chaka Khan, (which was the title of their fourth album that had the hit single "Sweet Thing") and this caused tension in the band. She was back and forth with the group for a few years. Went solo in 1978 and became a legend.

What's Happening!! follows the lives of three working-class African-American teens living in Watts.   115.    Critic Review: Unlike its contemporary Good Times, What's Happening!! isn't committed to presenting enlightening social commentary or providing empowering African-American role models. Most of the problems the gang faces here are typical of what kids from any community have to deal with. While the show has its funny moments (especially when Dee offers her strong, often sarcastic opinions), much of the show's humor stems from a slapstick-like comedy style that's reminiscent of the minstrel show stereotypes of the 1930s - https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/whats-happening   116.    [Audio Clips]   117.    Open Comments:   118.    Final Question: Biggest legacy from 1976?

on this installment of Imagine If You Will : A longtime friend stops by for a late night recording session. The guys struggle to pay attention as Dan just can't seem to keep the class on track.    Ivan Dixon stars with Kim Hamilton in " A Big Tall Wish"   many key points are missed (This was another episode that used a mirror in a stylistic way to advance the story_never even mentioned)...sports are discussed.   As always...have FUN in the Fifth Dimension! ------ I probably should have cut more out.

This time around, two films from the 1970s. We start with Ivan Dixon's 1973 movie about a black militant who joins the CIA, The Spook Who Sat By The Door, then we move on to Clint Eastwood's directorial debut, Play Misty For Me starring Eastwood, Jessica Walter and Donna Mills.    Please support the podcast via Patreon.

Ivan Dixon and Abbey Lincoln lead a mesmerizing cast in a very gripping portrait of racial oppression and black masculinity in 1964's Deep South. A slept-on treasure appreciated by 21st century cinephiles and the Men of Micheaux. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Car Wash is an episodic comedy about a day in the lives of the employees and the owner, Mr. B (Sully Boyar), of a Los Angeles, California car wash (filmed at a Westlake car wash at the corner of Rampart Blvd. and 6th St.)
