We get huge this week when we eat barbacoa before we discuss Giant (1956). We appreciate the cinematography and blocking as well as the actors in this epic western. Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, and James Dean give spectacular performances that display their massive talent. Even though Giant is seventy years old, it's still relevant today and ripe for a remake, maybe with better wigs.

This is an edited podcast from 2024 where we spoke to the recently departed film producer Fred Roos. A close friend to Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside, Jennifer had no idea who we were interviewing until midway through the podcast.  Fred had messages for many of his close friends, and in one instance I was able to pass that message along at his funeral. In this podcast, he has a message for Sophia and Francis Coppola, his long time pals, as well as Harrison Ford who's career he started. At his funeral Harrison said "Without Fred I wouldn't be here." Also a number of other people show up, including his pal Harry Dean Stanton (a skeptic and atheists whom Jennifer and I interviewed when he crossed over.) There are appearances by many people Fred knew, including Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams, also Aretha Franklin and Christopher Reeves. We do this podcast to show that anyone can speak to their loved ones offstage. It just so happens that I knew Fred Roos for four decades, and met him in his office at Zoetrope back in the day. We stayed pals over the years, he was always kind and generous with me - and he was a huge pal to Robert Towne and Luana Anders as well as Jack Nicholson. None of these names in this podcast are "name dropping" when we're talking to the source. These were all friends of his, and I have met most of them - including the one he references - the reincarnation of James Dean. Fred worked with this person, and while we don't mention the name - because the person whom Jennifer and I both interviewed for hours - knows that they are the reincarnation of James Dean, have known that their whole lives - but chooses not to share it with people. Like I say, this is another of the Best Of podcasts that we've done. (Jennifer is currently swamped with clients and folks who need her help.) Enjoy.

Pico della Mirandola: Renässansens rebell triggades av motståndet

Få filosofiska texter har ett så personligt tilltal och temperament. Torbjörn Elensky slår ett slag för renässansens manifest och dess upphovsman. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.I FN:s allmänna förklaring om de mänskliga rättigheterna står det: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, vilket på svenska översatts till Alla människor är födda fria och lika i värde och rättigheter. Ordet för värdighet har alltså översatts med värde. Spelar detta roll för hur vi pratar om människor och deras fri- och rättigheter? Är ett värde inte något annat än värdighet? Det förra är något man har i kraft av att bara vara människa. Mördaren och offret, civilisten och soldaten, det nyfödda barnet och 100-åringen har alla exakt samma, principiella människovärde. När något är så allmänt utbrett riskerar det att bli likgiltigt. Ditt värde kräver inget av mig. Värdigheten däremot är något som innebär ömsesidighet. Oavsett vem du är och vad du gjort kan du förtjäna att behandlas med värdighet. Men värdigheten är inget du har, det är något du gör, och jag, och vi tillsammans. Varför tycks det vara svårare på svenska att prata om människans värdighet än hennes värde? Beror det på att ordet låter föråldrat, att vi tänker oss att en värdig person är lite uppblåst, en farbror Blå med hatt och käpp? Eller beror just på att det kräver något av oss, att det snarare än en egenskap är en aktivitet?Det engelska dignity kommer från latinets dignitas. Från det kommer också orden dignitet, något som har en viss tyngd, och dignitär, högre tjänsteman, även denna med viss tyngd, i symbolisk mening naturligtvis. För romarna var dignitas både något man kunde inneha i kraft av sitt ämbete och ett inre värde i en person. Cicero använder det över tusen gånger i sina bevarade verk – vilket är hälften av samtliga förekomster av dignitas i romersk litteratur. Med kristendomen blev begreppet något för alla människor, som vi innehar i egenskap av att vara skapade efter Guds avbild. Dessutom användes det som beteckning på själens avspegling av treenigheten, för liksom den består av fadern, sonen och den helige ande, tre dignitates, värdigheter, i en Gud, består själen av tre värdigheter: intellekt, vilja och minne.Men den som gjorde värdighet till det begrepp det blivit idag var den italienske renässansfilosofen Pico della Mirandola. Han var 1400-talets filosofiska underbarn, vars ”Tal om människans värdighet” har kallats renässansens manifest. I det träder individen för första gången fram med alla sina rättigheter, anspråk och friheten som högsta värde och mål. Pico föddes 1463 i en furstlig familj och skickades som 14-åring för att studera juridik i Bologna. Men efter bara något år lämnade han universitetets begränsade miljö för att istället studera kabbala, judisk mystik. Han fortsatte till Florens där han läste Platon tillsammans med den några år äldre Marsilio Ficino, som höll på att översätta dialogerna till latin. På grund av sina språkkunskaper, filosofiska kommentarer och mångfacetterade lärdom betraktades ”Mirakelpojken” Pico redan som 22-åring som stor filosof och universalgeni. Men hans liv blev allt annat än en ordnad tillvaro vid något lärosäte. Efter en kort sväng till Paris, där Aristoteles fortfarande dominerade undervisningen, återvände han till Florens, rymde med en ung adelskvinna och åkte runt i Italien på flykt undan både rättvisan och pesten.Samtidigt med dessa äventyr fortsatte han med sina studier. Hans mål var att förena all kunskap han skaffat sig till ett enda system: inte bara europeisk filosofi, utan framför allt sådant som kyrkan förbjöd, som judisk mystik och arabiska tänkare. Han ansåg att eftersom sanningen är en, men spridd i flera olika traditioner, gällde det bara att kombinera dem för att förstå allt. När han var 24 år ville han ordna en konferens i Rom, där han skulle presentera sin syntes av all världens kunskap i 900 teser. Påven Innocentius VIII förklarade genast att 13 av teserna var kätterska och flera andra suspekta. Det var för mycket som utmanade kristendomen i Picos teorier. Dessutom ansågs han vara för ung för att kunna tas på allvar. Men han blev bara triggad av motståndet. Det var som svar på kyrkans förbud som han skrev det korta, kärnfulla och medryckande talet om människans värdighet. Inte heller det tilläts han framföra, men det trycktes och spreds och har fortsatt att inspirera ända sedan dess.Filosofin, skriver han i sitt tal, har lärt honom att lita på sitt eget samvete, inte på vad andra tycker. Han frågar: vad lönar det sig att bara läsa latinsk filosofi och utesluta grekerna och araberna, när allt från början kom från barbarerna? Det är en bildad och självsäker, utmanande 25-åring som talar, men också någon frustrerad av att inte bli tagen på allvar. Upprepat påpekar han att hans ungdom inte borde hållas emot honom, för han kan mer än de flesta andra. Få filosofiska texter från historien har ett sådant personligt tilltal och tydligt temperament som. Han är den ursprungliga förebilden för alltifrån revolutionärerna och poeterna under romantiken till James Dean i Ung rebell och rockens många frihetsälskande upprorsmakare.Människans värdighet bygger för Pico på hennes förmåga att välja sitt liv, något som skiljer henne från alla andra varelser. Djuren såväl som änglarna har i 1400-talets världsbild fasta egenskaper, i en orubblig hierarki som sträcker sig från de lägsta krypen hela vägen upp till Gud själv. De kan inte förändras. Människan däremot befinner sig i mitten av allt, utan några utmärkande egenskaper, men med intellekt och fri vilja. Människans värdighet består ytterst i hennes frihet.Pico är unik i det att han inte sätter det antika idealet främst, utan tar upp alla möjliga kunskapstraditioner. Han inleder sina 900 teser med att fastslå att han använder kaldeiska, arabiska, hebreiska, grekiska, egyptiska och latinska påståenden, utan inbördes rangordning, för att lägga ut texten, allmängiltigt och universellt, om dialektik, moral, matematik, metafysik, magi och kabbalism. När han i sitt tal säger att människan är fri att välja sig själv menar han det verkligen radikalt: sanningen tillhör inte någon viss tradition utan finns hos alla och är tillgänglig för alla.Det låter modernt. Men vi måste vara vaksamma. Det är alltid svårare än man tror att läsa historiska texter. Ord skiftar mening genom historien och vår vilja att spegla oss själva kan göra oss blinda för vad texten egentligen uttrycker. Pico della Mirandola var verkligen en renässansmänniska, med allt vad det innebär. Hans text är full av esoteriska referenser till magi, mystik och kabbalism som har lite med det vanliga, moderna livet att göra. Men ändå, vill jag påstå, återstår kärnan, och den är den mänskliga värdigheten: Här står en ung människa och vill bli tagen på allvar. Och är inte det vad den mänskliga värdigheten ytterst går ut på: att bli tagen på allvar, att bli lyssnad på, att bli respekterad. Och det är inte något man kan göra själv, utan något vi gör tillsammans för varandra.Torbjörn Elenskyförfattare och kritikerLitteraturOm människans värdighet, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, 1486, på svenska i övers. av Rolf Lindborg, Bokförlaget Atlantis 2012Magic and the Dignity of Man: Pico della Mirandola and His Oration in Modern Memory, Brian P.

Welcome back to the next edition of Black Hoodie Alchemy! Continuing with last week's theme, we are analyzing another book by the controversial author Robert Greene, known for his works like The 48 Laws of Power, The 50th Law (co-authored with 50 Cent), and the topic of discussion today: The Art of Seduction. And with Valentine's Day just a couple weeks away from the time of release, it seems like as good a time as any for a wildcard episode such as this!(This is a sociological and literary analysis, I am not trying to be a pick-up artist and I am not trying to position myself as any kind of authority on these topics, whether it be casual dating or romance. )Perhaps even more controversial than the 48 Laws, this book operates on an equally cynical premise that everyone is self-interested and just looking to one-up each other. It details 9 seducer-archetypes as well as the many stages of tactical seduction, backed up with analysis of historical figures such as Cleopatra, Princess Diana, JFK, James Dean, David Bowie, Marilyn Monroe and many more. Reading this with the mindset of general psychology and sociology instead of manipulation and power-dynamics is useful, and it wouldn't be too difficult if not for the persistent usage of words like "prey" and "victim". With this book originally being published in 2001, I seriously doubt that this provocateur shock-value language would be used so flippantly if it were written today (as I do think it is meant as shock-value, building off of the 48 Laws of Power). But that said, I don't endorse or condone the language or mindset espoused in this book, and instead I have a good laugh at all the crude language while also trying to extrapolate any useful psychological and sociological context possible from it. I do think this book is interesting and worth reading, but it will only be useful to the critically-thinking adult that is not looking to take anything at face value. I hope you enjoy listening, and I wish you luck on your romantic pursuits! Ha.

Only one performance style has dominated the lexicon of the casual moviegoer: “Method acting.” The first reception-based analysis of film acting, Imagining the Method: Reception, Identity, and American Screen Performance (U Texas Press, 2024) investigates how popular understandings of the so-called Method—what its author Justin Rawlins calls "methodness"—created an exclusive brand for white, male actors while associating such actors with rebellion and marginalization. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book maps the forces giving shape to methodness and policing its boundaries. Imagining the Method traces the primordial conditions under which the Method was conceived. It explores John Garfield's tenuous relationship with methodness due to his identity. It considers the links between John Wayne's reliance on "anti-Method" stardom and Marlon Brando and James Dean's ascribed embodiment of Method features. It dissects contemporary emphases on transformation and considers the implications of methodness in the encoding of AI performers. Altogether, Justin Rawlins offers a revisionist history of the Method that shines a light on the cultural politics of methodness and the still-dominant assumptions about race, gender, and screen actors and acting that inform how we talk about performance and performers.

Min 5: 28 AÑOS DESPUÉS: EL TEMPLO DE LOS HUESOS (3 estrellas) Dirigida por Nia DaCosta y escrita por Alex Garland, 28 años después. El templo de los huesos continúa el universo inaugurado por 28 días después para adentrarse en un mundo donde la infección ya no es una catástrofe puntual, sino un estado permanente de la humanidad. Ambientada casi tres décadas después del brote del virus de la rabia, la película sigue a un grupo de supervivientes —interpretados por Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson y Ralph Fiennes— que descubre una comunidad aislada y aparentemente organizada, asentada sobre los restos físicos y morales del antiguo orden. Min 15. EL MAL (JUANMA BAJO ULLOA) 3 estrellas Dirigida por Juanma Bajo Ulloa, El mal es el estreno español más llamativo del fin de semana, un thriller psicológico que obliga al espectador a enfrentarse a sus propias sombras y a cuestionar la delgada línea entre fascinación y repulsión ante la violencia. La trama sigue a Belén Fabra, Natalia Tena y Tony Dalton —con apoyos de Fernando Gil, María Schwinning y Natalia Ruiz Risueño— en una historia donde Elvira, una ambiciosa periodista y escritora de sucesos interpretada por Fabra, recibe la inquietante propuesta de escribir la biografía de Martín (Tena), quien dice tener “talento†para ser el mayor asesino en serie de la Historia, lo que desencadena una espiral de compromisos éticos, obsesión y reflexión sobre la maldad inherente al ser humano. Min 20. EL HOMBRE MENGUANTE (FRANCIA) 3 estrellas Dirigida por Jan Kounen y escrita por Christophe Deslandes y el propio Kounen, El hombre menguante se estrena hoy viernes 16 de enero de 2026 en cines españoles, ofreciendo una nueva lectura del clásico de ciencia ficción basado en la novela de Richard Matheson que ha inspirado generaciones de cineastas. La película está protagonizada por Jean Dujardin —en un papel físico y emocionalmente exigente— junto a Marie-Josée Croze, Daphné Richard y Salim Talbi, en un relato que transforma lo cotidiano en un vasto y peligroso paisaje cuando el protagonista comienza a perder tamaño de forma inexplicable. Min. 27: SI PUDIERA TE DARÍA UNA PATADA (3 estrellas) Dirigida y escrita por Mary Bronstein, 'Si pudiera, te daría una patada' irrumpe en salas como una de las piezas más estimulantes del cine independiente. La película, protagonizada de forma casi absoluta por Rose Byrne, sigue a Linda, una madre atrapada en una sucesión de crisis simultáneas: la enfermedad inexplicable de su hija, la ausencia emocional de su marido, una desaparición inquietante y una relación cada vez más tóxica con su propio terapeuta. Bronstein construye un relato que oscila entre el drama, la comedia negra y el thriller psicológico para retratar el desgaste mental de una mujer obligada a sostenerlo todo sin espacio para venirse abajo. Min 32. TURNO DE GUARDIA (4 estrellas) Turno de guardia es un retrato intenso y humanista de la cotidianidad sanitaria que sacude al espectador desde sus primeros minutos con una propuesta formal audaz y una mirada profundamente empática hacia el personal de enfermería. Dirigida y escrita por Petra Biondina Volpe, la cineasta suiza emplea la jornada de una enfermera —Floria, interpretada con aplomo y verdad por Leonie Benesch— como vehículo narrativo y moral para explorar la presión, la precariedad y la enorme responsabilidad que conlleva cuidar de otros en un entorno donde los segundos importan y los recursos escasean. Min 35: LA MIRADA DEL FLAMENCO (3'5 estrellas) La misteriosa mirada del flamenco es una de las óperas primas más audaces del cine latinoamericano reciente, una fábula cargada de política, amor y paranoia que explora la violencia simbólica y real contra las minorías desde el corazón del desierto chileno. Dirigida por Diego Céspedes, la película fusiona elementos del western clásico, el realismo mágico y el coming-of-age para construir un relato que, aunque situado en un pueblo minero de los años ochenta, tiene ecos universales: el miedo a lo diferente, la construcción de la familia elegida y la violencia social alimentada por el prejuicio. Min 38: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON ALBERTO TORRES El compositor y productor toledano Alberto Torres, responsable de la BSO del corto de ficción nominado al Goya 2026 "Una cabeza en la pared", celebra sus opciones de premio desvelándonos por qué El piano (1993), la película dirigida por Jane Campion y protagonizada por Holly Hunter, es la película de su vida. MIn 46: ESPECIAL BSO JAMES DEAN: EL GIGANTE Y REBELDE INMORTAL El 70 aniversario del estreno de una película tan colosal como icónica, 'Gigante' (1956) nos sirve de excusa perfecta para zanjar una asignatura pendiente y rendir tributo musical a la figura de James Dean. Nuestro crítico musical, Ángel Luque, selecciona algunos de los temas más representativos de las tres películas que nos dejó como legado.

Ferdinand wanted to make cars for the people, but the Porsche brand we know is an empire of performance. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients, so here’s one of those. [ASAP Commercial Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast. It’s the podcast where we talk about empires that were built, businesses, business empires. You know what we… If you’ve listened before, you know… Stephen Semple: Something like that. I get it. Businesses that have done pretty well over the years. Dave Young: They started small. Stephen Semple: They started small. Dave Young: They started small and then they got big. They got so big to the point that you could call them an empire. Stephen Semple: That’s it. That’s the idea. Dave Young: It’s a pretty simple premise. Stephen Semple: That’s it. Dave Young: So as we counted down, Steve told me the topic today and it’s Porsche. Stephen Semple: Yes, sir. Dave Young: Porsche. I’m assuming this is the car. Stephen Semple: The car, yes, the car. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: The car. Dave Young: And I’m trying to… I know some Porsche jokes, but I probably shouldn’t tell those on this show. I’m trying to think if I’ve ever actually been in a Porsche. Stephen Semple: Oh, well then you’ve got to come up and see me, Dave. Dave Young: You own one. I know you own one. Stephen Semple: Well, I have one. Bernier’s got two. I don’t know how many Steve has. Dave Young: I see how it is. I see how it is. Maybe I will tell my Porsche joke. So you guys that own them, do you call it Porscha? Because some of us just say Porsche. Stephen Semple: Well, if you actually take a look back, that’s the proper German pronunciation as Porsche. Dave Young: Porsche, okay. Stephen Semple: And it’s supposed to not be… It’s not Italian Porsche, right? So it’s Porsche. Dave Young: Porsche, Porsche. Okay, I’ll accept that. I’ll accept that. I’m guessing we’re- Stephen Semple: Well, look, you got to always call a dealership to double check. They’ll tell you. Dave Young: Now, if I had to guess where we’re headed to start this off sometime around the 40s, maybe earlier. Stephen Semple: A little earlier than that, actually. It was founded by Ferdinand Porsche in 1931 in Stuttgart, Germany. You’re not far off. But the interesting thing is where the growth really happened, even though that’s when it was founded, when things really started to happen, was actually post-World War II. Dave Young: That makes sense. Stephen Semple: You’re correct on that. Dave Young: So, it started in 31 and by the time you hit the late 30s and 40s, you’re part of the war machine. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So it was founded in 1931, Stuttgart, Germany by Ferdinand. And when we take a look at the history of the business for a very long time, they were a part of the VW group, although they were recently spun off into their own separate business. And there’s a lot of shared history between VW and Porsche. A lot of people make fun of the fact that it’s basically a VW. There’s so much connection. Now here’s the other thing is, there’s a lot of connection in Nazi Germany here as well. And I mean- Dave Young: That’s what I was intimating but trying not to say, but yes, there was definitely. Stephen Semple: And not one of these ones of, “Oh, I’m a business and I got sucked up into the machine.” I mean, very early on. Very early on. Ferdinand was a member of the SS following the war, both he and his son were charged. Dave Young: No kidding. Stephen Semple: He served two years in jail. His son six months. So we’re not talking loose connections here. He was a buddy of Adolf. Let’s just put it out there. And if you remember, going back to episode 21, VW was founded by Nazi Germany. So episode 21 about The Beetle, and Ferdinand was the guy who designed the Beetle. Dave Young: Right, right. I remember you saying that, Ferdinand Porsche. Stephen Semple: And look, Porsche has not always had the success it has today. It’s become pretty big. They do 40 billion EU in sales. They have 40,000 employees. They make 300,000 cars. There was a time that they’re making cars in the hundreds and thousands. It wasn’t that long ago. But let’s go back to Germany to the early 1900s. And if we think about Germany at that time, pre-World War II, pre-World War I, there was lots of history of engineering and science in Germany. More Nobel Prizes in Science was awarded to Germany than anywhere else in the world at that time. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: Germany was a real leader in science and engineering. And the first commercial automobile was made in Germany by Mercedes-Benz. So it’s 1906 and Daimler recruits Ferdinand because Ferdinand had been the winner of the Pottingham [inaudible 00:06:05] Prize, which is the automotive engineer of the year, which is given to new chief engineers and basically allows the person to have this designated doctor engineer honoris causa, Ferdinand Porsche. And he would go around calling himself all of that. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: And this is an honorary doctorate because he never actually finished college, but he had real engineering chops, Ferdinand. So he moves to Stuttgart, which at the time is a center of car making in Germany, including all the suppliers. And he works for Benz for 20 years. Okay. Now, it’s Germany in the 1930s and 2% of the population own a car in Germany as compared to the United States, which is 30%. Dave Young: In that time? Stephen Semple: In that time. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Ferdinand comes up with this idea of we should make an inexpensive car. We shouldn’t be making car for the wealthy. We should make an inexpensive car. The board rejects the idea. Ferdinand leaves in 1929. And in 1931… Kicks around for a few years, and then 1931 starts a consulting firm. Now, this dude knew how to name things. You’re ready for the name of the company? Dave Young: Of the consulting firm? Stephen Semple: Of the consulting firm. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: I have to read this to get it right. The Doctor Engineer Honoris Causa Ferdinand Porsche Construction and Consulting and Design Services for Motor Vehicles. Dave Young: Now, if I know anything about German, that was all one word that you just said, right? Stephen Semple: Well- Dave Young: No spaces in between any of those words. Stephen Semple: Translated, you’ll see it as Dr. in H period, C period, F period, Porsche, capital G, small M, small B, capital H. Dave Young: It just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Stephen Semple: Now, here’s the crazy thing. Up until 2009, that remained the official name of the company. You actually can find, if you see Porsche’s older than that, that if you look for that, it’ll be stamped somewhere in the car that that’s the manufacturer. Dave Young: They changed it finally because it was just too expensive to- Stephen Semple: It cost too much- Dave Young: Put that many letters in a dye cast. Stephen Semple: Exactly, exactly. Dave Young: Holy cow. Stephen Semple: So it’s 1934 and they land a contract with Germany to design a small affordable car for the people called the Volkswagen. Dave Young: Volkswagen. Stephen Semple: Beetle. Right, there you go. Now, here’s the thing that’s weird. Post World War II, the allies are in trying to rebuild Germany and no one owns VW. VW was owned by the state. So now it’s in the hands of the British and the British and the allies want to create a strong economy in West Germany because it’s now the Cold War. So the big defense to defending against East Germany and the expansion of communism is to really get the economy going in Germany. And so the British government, as we know from episode 21 about the Beetle, approached Porsche who designed it and said, “Help us get this car built.” And this is where it gets just a little bit weird because the son goes in one direction. Ferdinand’s doing his own thing. They both got arrested for war crimes. Son gets out first because he did six months. And his son’s name’s Ferry and his dad is in jail for two years. So between this time where dad’s still in jail and son’s out, here’s one of the things they did towards the end of the war. We don’t know exactly how many, but it was probably about 20 of their best engineers and they moved them out into the farmland of Austria and basically had them working in a barn because they didn’t want to get them arrested or killed, quite frankly. So Ferry gets out and he goes to this barn in Austria and he’s looking around and he goes, “What the heck are we going to do to make some money? Let’s start fixing up cars.” Now, not a huge business fixing up cars. It’s post-war and there weren’t a lot of cars in Germany anyway, but they had to do something. Then the dad gets out of jail and he ends up doing this work with Volkswagen. Now, here’s what’s interesting. And this is where the really tight ties between Porsche and Volkswagen start. The deal that the German government gives Ferdinand, the deal that the allies give Ferdinand is this. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories to Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: The deal that the allies give Ferdinand is this. We want your help designing and distributing this car. We will give you a royalty for every VW Beetle sold worldwide. Dave Young: Wow, that’s pretty generous. Stephen Semple: Well, no one knew it was going to be such a huge success and basically go for 50 years that car was being built. Dave Young: Right, right. Stephen Semple: So for a long time, the biggest source of revenue for Porsche was royalties on VW Beetle sales. Dave Young: Wow, okay. So it really- Stephen Semple: Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: It really wouldn’t exist if that deal hadn’t been made. Stephen Semple: May not have, may not have. Now, meanwhile, Ferry, who has design chops of his own and loves cars, started tinkering around with vehicles. And what he started to do was put big engines in small cars. There was all these Beetle parts lying around. He would build a car, this little car, and he’d put a big engine in it. And if you go back in the time, if you go back and take a look in the late 30s, early 40s, and you take a look at Ferraris and things like that, you take a look at the race cars at the time, they were two-thirds engines. They’re these massive engines. So he went the opposite direction. He said, “Well, let’s take a little car and put a big engine in it.” And he’s driving around and he goes, “This is fun.” Because he’s basing it on parts lying around, which is the VW stuff. It’s an engine in the back. This becomes the Porsche 356, which is basically Porsche’s first car. So they start making this car and they wanted to make it somewhat affordable. So the price was $3,750, which would be $42,000 today. And they also wanted to have it as being a daily driver because again, everybody else making performance cars were not daily drivers, had a trunk, bunch of things, daily driver. And this is an important part of Porsche’s DNA. We’re going to come back to this a little bit later, this idea of it being a daily driver. So coming out of World War II, sports cars, industry’s happening and everybody’s got one. MG and Jag in the UK, there’s Ferrari in Italy, you get the idea. Now, one thing I forgot to mention that’s interesting and still today, the government state of Lower Saxony, which is basically would be the state, they still own 20% of Volkswagen. Dave Young: Really? Okay. Stephen Semple: I forgot to mention that. Dave Young: Who are they now? Stephen Semple: Well, Volkswagen’s still around. Volkswagen’s still- Dave Young: No, who is the Saxony? Stephen Semple: Well, it’d be like saying the state of Texas. It’s a state. Dave Young: Okay, it’s just a part of Germany. Stephen Semple: Part of Germany and that government still owns 20% of the company. Dave Young: What a world. Stephen Semple: Now there’s all this stimulus going on in Germany to try to get the economy going. One of the things that they did, there was a really interesting tax rate. There was an interesting tax structure. There was a very high marginal tax rate. Now, ordinary people were taxed at 15%, but the marginal tax rate could go as high as 95%. And the reason why they wanted to do this was create this incentive for reinvestment. So there’s all this… As they’re making money, there’s this heavy reinvestment. And in the early 50s, racing is really exploding. Automobile racing is really exploding, but the lines between professional and amateur is blurry. If you remember, James Dean and Steve McQueen and other actors, Paul Newman, were all racing. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: They’re all racing vehicles. And Jaguar and Porsche were trying to do the same thing in terms of creating this daily driver that you could race. Now in the end, Porsche won, and I think part of it is because quite frankly, they just built a better vehicle. There was a time where the joke with Jaguars was you had to own two because one would always be in the shop and one… And going back to the early DNA, Ferry Porsche was quoted as saying, “We have the only car that can go from an East African safari to race in the Le Mans to take out to theater and then drive on the streets in New York.” Dave Young: Wow, okay. Stephen Semple: And look, today, Porsche still heavily advertises that. They will advertise a Porsche driving through the snow with ski racks on it. And not their SUVs, the 911. This is very much part of it. And if you think about it, this parallels what Rolex did in the early days. You remember from episode 184 with Rolex. Rolex, the Submariner, the Explorer. Dave Young: Target by niche. Stephen Semple: Target by niche and make it tough and something that you could use and wear day to day. So it’s 1954 and Porsche’s selling 588 cars and about 40% of them is in the US. So really what’s making things hum with them is all those Beetle sales. And it’s the ’60s, the Ford Mustang comes out, the Jag E type comes out, the Austin-Healey comes out, and Porsche decides they need a new vehicle. And they were going to do a sedan, a four door sedan. But what they realized was they didn’t really want to compete with Mercedes and BMW. So they looked around at the other German car manufacturers and they said, “You know what? That’s probably not the place to go.” They had designed it up and that project failed. They had also been working on a six cylinder Boxter engine. So Boxter engine, the cylinders are opposed, so they’re like boxing. And the whole idea is that lowers the center of gravity of the weight of the engine. And they had a project that they were working on that that didn’t go ahead. So they stepped back and they went, “Maybe what we should do is just reduce the size of the sedan and put that engine in it.” That’s what they did. And that became the Porsche 901. Except there’s a problem. Peugeot had the copyright for zero in the middle of a bunch of numbers in France. They couldn’t call it the 901 because of that copyright. Dave Young: So they called it- Stephen Semple: So they called it the 911. And that’s now the iconic Porsche car. 1966, they sell 13,000 of these cars. Now, here’s the thing that I think is very interesting. And Porsche, as far as I could figure out, is the only car manufacturer that does this. First of all, they’ve maintained the 911 forever, but even on top of that, Porsche really understands design language. We can all recognize a Porsche. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: We can recognize one from 2020. We can recognize one from 1999. We can recognize one from 1970. Even though they’ve upgraded the technology, they’ve changed the design of the car. They’ve now come out with the Cayman and the Macan and the Cayenne. They’re all recognizable as that vehicle. They’ve done a great job of doing that. I think that was a lost opportunity, frankly, when Tesla came out because they had a clean design slate. Tesla could have done that. But I think that’s really interesting how they’ve managed to maintain, even though they’ll modernize it. In our minds, we still will see one and go, “That’s a Porsche.” Dave Young: Sure. And the great car brands are able to do that. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Audi is always going to be an Audi. Volvo is always going to look like a Volvo. And in the Portals class at Wizard Academy, one of the videos that I use to demonstrate that, there’s a language. If you combine specific shapes and specific lines, that all adds up to that brand of car. And so I’ve got an old video that I got when I was in the Motor Press Guild from Audi. It was just a video that was made for journalists with an Audi designer explaining all the lines on the car when they came out with the Q7 and how it still maintained the Audi design language. It was fascinating. Stephen Semple: It is. Dave Young: So Porsche could tell you that and the cool thing is those designers can tell you that. It’s hard for you and I to go, “Well, I can look at it and say, “That’s a Porsche.” But to be able to put it into words that describe it to someone else, is a gift. Stephen Semple: What’s really interesting, my nephew, Jeffrey, he loves Audi’s. That’s what he has. And he’ll even make the comment, he doesn’t like the Porsche’s because you feel like you’re in a bubble. Audis are very square. If you look at the back of an Audi and you look at the rear end of a Porsche, it has hips. But again, he’s even, “They’re great cars, but I like the squareness of the Audi.” So that’s interesting. Dave Young: Audi Audi has a fairly, not perpendicular, but an upright grill more so than a … And that’s part of their design language. Stephen Semple: So the whole DNA of Porsche came from this whole idea of a small car. Dave Young: Big engine. Stephen Semple: Big engine, daily driver, that was the whole idea is, it’s supposed to be a car that you can drive every day. That’s the core, core, core, core principle. That’s why they always have decent sized trunks. I remember when Gary bought his Boxter, one of the things he loved about it is you can actually put two sets of golf clubs in that car. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Right? Now, here’s what’s fun. There was a time where when they were really wanting to get things going, they did some great print advertisements. So they had ads like bug killer. Another one was calling it transportation is like calling sex reproduction. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Now, two of my favorites, one was not perfect. It would list 20 or 30 races that Porsche won. And if you actually read it, there was two that it didn’t. Dave Young: That they didn’t, “We didn’t win all the races.” Stephen Semple: So not perfect. Dave Young: That could have been driver error. Stephen Semple: That could have been. But Dave, you were going to make some jokes. Porsche’s able to laugh at itself. It actually had an ad that said, “Small penis? Have I got a car for you? If you’re going to overcompensate, then by all means, overcompensate.” Dave Young: I love it, I love it. Well, and that’s always the thing, the jokes are not about the car. Stephen Semple: But they actually ran that ad and I believe it ran in Car and Driver Magazine. I cannot imagine getting that ad approved. Dave Young: That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: And look, their own drivers are like, “Yeah, whatever.” Dave Young: Sure, compensating all I want. Absolutely. I love that story. Well, thank you, Stephen. I love the story of Porsche. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: And get out there and enjoy it or just buy me one and send it here. Thank you.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2025/12/06/jose-arroyo-in-conversation-with-glyn-davis-on-rebel-without-a-cause-nicholas-ray-1955/ A treat to talk to the marvellous Glyn Davis on his handsome new book, the ‘BFI Classic' on Rebel Without a Cause (Nicholas Ray, 1955). In the podcast we discuss how we were both surprised that the film hadn't yet been covered in the series and why the book is the fulfilment of a long-standing wish of his. We discuss how the film established an iconic template for adolescent dissent and how James Dean became the embodiment of youthful American dissatisfaction and rebellion; Glyn compares Rebel to other films of the period such as The Wild One (Lázló Benedek, 1953) and Blackboard Jungle (Richard Brooks, 1955). We discuss the pros and cons of auteurist approaches; Glyn's findings in the LA Archives, Ray's concerns of filling the CinemaScope frame; his uses of colour (the film was originally designed for black and white); the film's unusual structure, how the film became a template for the teen film that extends to television (Dawson's Creek was named after the High School in Rebel); how Dean's extraordinary performance helped popularise and disseminate ‘The Method', how the figure of Plato has become central to subsequent queer cultures; and how Natalie Wood is often marginalised in discussions of the film. Glyn generously praises previous work on Ray and the film, particularly Bernard Eisenschitz' monumental Nicholas Ray: An American Journey and the extraordinarily detailed Live Fast, Die Young: The Wild Ride of Making Rebel Without A Cause by Lawrence Frascella and Al Weisel. A generous and articulate conversation on a book worth reading and discussing José Arroyo

But within weeks, its young owner would be dead, and the car itself would become infamous. What followed were decades of bizarre accidents, unexplained fatalities, and eerie coincidences, all linked to the same deadly machine. Some now claim the car was cursed.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Sir Anthony Hopkins (We Did Ok, Kid, The Silence of the Lambs, The Father) is an Academy, Emmy, and BAFTA Award-winning actor. Anthony joins the Armchair Expert to discuss feeling othered and playing the role of the dummy in school, how growing up during a war shaped him, and a chance invitation at the YMCA that changed the trajectory of his life. Anthony and Dax talk about booking his first role the same day James Dean was killed, the advice Laurence Olivier offered after seeing him perform onstage, and doing screen tests with Katherine Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. Anthony explains the mythology behind his first table read for The Silence of the Lambs, his journey to sobriety, and why “We Did Ok, Kid” is a sentiment applicable to everything that's happened in his life.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Think Rebel Without a Cause, but swap James Dean for James Clean. We're talking aged Levi's, cowboy boots, and fresh-faced mustaches. It's rugged vintage meets sterile chic; and not just on celebs, but in everyday style scenes you might not expect. Turns out, you can bring the wild west to the workplace, hold the dust. Then we're back at it with Part 2 of your most pressing wardrobe woes, because last week's listener questions left us wanting more. First up: how do you make a shirt and tie combo look cool without resorting to a neck tattoo? We've got the layers, textures, and attitude to pull it off. Next, flannel shirts. Is it possible to wear them without looking like you time traveled straight from 1992 Seattle? Spoiler: yes, and we'll tell you how. We also ironed out coat conundrums, how to bring skinny jeans back with confidence, and of course, more of your style SOS messages; answered with our signature mix of insight and irreverence.

Natalie Wood was one of the most loved child stars of the silver screen in the mid-20th century, and the rare celebrity who was able to transition gracefully into grown-up roles all while maintaining an air of dignity and grace. She acted alongside Orson Welles, James Dean, Warren Beatty, and Bette Davis, and many of her roles remain iconic decades later. But beneath her unprecedented professional success was a life unseen by the public – a life full of fears, paranoias, pills, gypsy curses, and secrets. And when she drowned at the age of 43, more secrets would come floating to the surface. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault and suicide.

Again With This: Beverly Hills, 90210 & Melrose Place

Turning 18 puts a person through changes. For example, Pacey's decided HIS 18th birthday should be at a completely different time of year than his 16th. But never mind! He complains to Joey that his birthday is cursed, so all he wants to do this year is chill out at home with her, and she promises they will, and we all know that means she's implicated in his surprise party. The event -- to be held at the Witter family home -- coincides with what was to have been Gretchen and Dawson's first date, and Gretchen may be a little too eager to bag that plan in favor of her family obligation; she also makes it clear that although she's bringing him to the party, she doesn't want Joey or Pacey or anyone in her family to know she and Dawson are dating, if they even are, which Dawson obviously takes as a slight. While the birthday boy doesn't die of an accidental gunshot as happened at Scott Scanlon's birthday party, this one is...almost as bad. And Joey doesn't help by trying to ignore Pacey's dark mood and unhelpfully suggesting that he just try harder to get along with his awful parents. (By the way, playing his awful mother: Jane Lynch!) Elsewhere, Jen satisfies her last five community service hours giving safe rides to drunk teenagers, and you'll never guess what civic-minded homosexual also happens to volunteer with the organization: Tobey! Jen uses the occasion to talk up Jack, while Tobey tells her all about his hopelessly devoted James Dean-alike boyfriend Greg; calling him "perfect" not once but twice juuuuuuust might be a tell.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam kicks things off by sounding off on a bizarre story about a woman who discovered swastika-shaped tiling in her basement and is now suing the home seller for not disclosing it. Adam calls out the performative outrage behind her lawsuit and shares his own frustrations with the culture of virtue signaling. He also plays a clip from one of his recent vlogs, where he visited Home Depot and criticized the city of Malibu for its overly restrictive regulations regarding the cutting of pressure-treated lumber. In the news, Elisha Krauss joins Adam to cover the biggest trending headlines, starting with Ilhan Omar's explosive financial disclosures revealing a net worth of up to $30 million—despite her repeated claims that she is “not a millionaire.” They also react to the retirement announcement of one of the Democrats' longest-serving House members, and break down the viral moment when Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek snatched a signed hat from a child at the US Open. Szczerek has since issued a public apology, but Adam and Elisha question whether that's enough to undo the bad optics of the viral footage.Later, author Stayton Bonner and private investigator Joe Ford stop by to discuss The Million-Dollar Car Detective: Inside the Worldwide Hunt for a Stolen $7 Million Car. Joe and Stayton recount the incredible real-life heist of a 1938 Talbot-Lago T150C-SS Teardrop coupe—one of the rarest and most beautiful cars in existence—and the decades-long investigation that followed. They share how the trail went cold for years before Joe got a tip that reignited the search, leading to an international chase involving the FBI, Interpol, and a global crime ring.

In the 1960s, Natalie Wood was one of the world's leading actress, her star shining as bright as Elizabeth Taylor's. She'd been acting since she was a small child, appearing in movies like Miracle on 34th Street. She'd starred opposite James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, and she'd been linked romantically to Warren Beatty, Michael Caine, Elvis Presley, and Dennis Hopper. And her husband, actor Robert Wagner, may have gotten away with killing her off of Catalina Island in 1981, during a weekend getaway the couple shared with none other than Christoper Walken. For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com
