Podcast appearances and mentions of Jane Hawking

In today's show a round up of some of the best science writing we've had on the show including Stephen and Jane Hawking, Chris Lintott, Marcus du Sautoy and The Boy Who Played with Fire. Plus we find some new science books in the RNIB Library.

What could easily be described a run of the mill biopic is elevated by Eddie Redmayne's performance as Stephen Hawking. However this biopic is not so much about the work of Hawking, but more so a look into his marriage. The script is based off Jane Hawking's memoir and focuses on her view of her their relationship.  What did you think of this Best Picture Nominee?

We start by exploring Jóhann's journey to becoming a composer and then delve into his work on the film. Jóhann shares his approach for this emotional story about Stephen Hawking and his wife Jane Hawking. We talk about how to make sure the music is not doing too much to keep from being melodramatic, what he connected to in the story, and how knowing Stephen Hawking would see the film affected his process. Jóhann Jóhannsson is a wonderful talent, enjoy this interview with a composer who is sure to create some Oscar buzz this year.

Jane Hawking's personal life is very much in the public eye at the moment, thanks to the success of the film 'The Theory of Everything'. It tells the story of her love affair and then marriage to the physicist Stephen Hawking, and movingly reveals the way she cared for him, and their children, as his illness increased, until the sad disintegration of their marriage. Both Stephen and Jane Hawking have given the film their approval - indeed, in Jane's case, it's very much based on her autobiography, 'Travelling to Infinity'. In Private Passions Jane Hawking talks to Michael Berkeley about the crucial role of music in her life, and about how listening to music and singing sustained her during twenty-five years caring for Stephen. She reveals that it was through music that she met her second husband, Jonathan Hellyer Jones. Other music choices include Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, Schubert's 'The Trout', the Scherzo from Beethoven's 7th Symphony, music from Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky, Brahms' German Requiem, and Chopin's second piano concerto. Produced by Elizabeth Burke A Loftus Production for BBC Radio 3.

Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne act their hearts out in this biopic based on Jane Hawking’s not-so-flattering portrait of her former husband Stephen Hawking. While the movie is thinly-veiled Oscar bait (congratulations Eddie; we love you!), we think it’s lacking something.

Guerreiros, em guarda! Nesta nova missão, Fábio Moreira (@facosmo), Marcos Moreira (@marvincosmo), Rafael Motta (@RalfMotta) e Ivanildo Campos (@ianildo1) vão ver o amor que ultrapassou as barreiras físicas e da Física!

Nathan and Scotty discuss The Theory of Everything, the transformation of Eddie Redmayne, feeling misled by the trailer, the absence of science, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007), the POV of Jane Hawking, and Press Tour Spoiler Alerts. Plus, a very special deconstruction of Fifty Shades of Grey during Crap Night with Andydrogynous. With nominees for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay, The Theory of Everything is a triumph of filmmaking achievement.

This week we talk about the blacklisting of Hollywood during McCarthyism, and specifically how it affected the careers of Orson Welles, Stella Adler, Arthur Miller, Charlie Chaplin, and Burgess Meredith.  We also explore how Citizen Kane, The Crucible, and On the River Front were tied into the controversies.  Then we review the biopic on Stephen and Jane Hawking:  The Theory of Everything.

“There should be no boundaries to human endeavor.” Your favorite nerds review the Stephen and Jane Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything! Are the portrayals of the leads worthy of all the early Oscar buzz? How does the film depict Stephen Hawking’s scientific contributions? What about all the other messy details that got left out of the script? In the INFINITE CROSSOVER CHAMBER, it’s The Theory of Everything versus A Beautiful Mind. We share our top 5 biopics. 0:00 – 34:22: The Theory of Everything; 34:23 – 48:40: The Theory of Everything VS. A Beautiful Mind; 48:41 – 1:23:03: Top 5 Biopics.

Love is a many splendored thing for Stephen and Jane Hawking.  That is, until Lou Gehrig's disease rears its ugly head.  "The Theory of Everything" dramatizes the relationship between the now-famous author and scientist and his wife of thirty years.  Eddie Redmayne gives a tremendous portrayal of a man physically contorted and completely immobile.  Redmayne's meticulous preparation for the role pays off in spades.  Felicity Jones brings dignity and gravity to her role.  One can see how the couple ended up together.  Andrew and Phil dish about the acting, the somewhat lackluster direction of "The Theory of Everything" and how a docu-drama must take real life and turn it into something dramatic.  It may not be a perfect film, but every other new movie at the multiplex sucks harder than a black hole.
