No episódio de hoje, mergulhamos na atmosfera sombria do filme de Jim Jarmusch. Dentre vampiros depressivos e guitarras distorcidas, discutimos os temas do filme e tentamos entender se a decadência da arte é de fato relevante ou se é apenas uma queixa nostálgica.Fale conosco:euqueroverofilme@gmail.cominsta/youtube: @euqueroverofilmetiktok: @euqueroverofilmeletterboxd: euqueroverofilm
From Jan 2024. Dive into the provocative world of artistic "theft" as Ty and Nathan explore how creative innovation truly emerges from our influences. This conversation challenges the myth of pure originality, arguing instead that the greatest artists throughout history have been masterful collectors and transformers of ideas.Beginning with Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto's transformative quote—"Start copying what you love... at the end of the copy you will find yourself"—the duo examines how creative development flourishes through strategic borrowing. From Quentin Tarantino's open acknowledgment of film references to David Bowie's musical influences, the most distinctive voices often emerge from those who've absorbed the most diverse inspirations.They unpack wisdom from creative legends including Jim Jarmusch, Paul Schrader, and Jean-Luc Godard, who all emphasize that true originality lies not in where you take ideas from, but where you take them to. Art movements throughout history—from Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism—evolved through artists stealing ideas from each other while working side by side, proving that innovation rarely emerges in isolation.What distinguishes mere imitation from transformative theft? When does copying become finding your voice? The conversation offers practical advice for artists at every stage: diversify your influences, document what moves you and why, maintain an "omnivorous" approach to inspiration, and create systems to capture ideas when they strike. Ultimately, the episode makes a compelling case that the most authentic artistic expression comes not from avoiding influence, but from embracing it wholeheartedly.Follow us on Instagram @ty_nathan_clark and @nathanturborg to continue exploring how creative influences shape artistic development.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Is this a hidden gem that people need to see, or does this film somehow miss the mark and not add up to the sum of its parts? I guess the only way to find out is to tune into the episode.

"Mystery Train", cʹest le 4e film de Jim Jarmusch, sorti en 1989. Cʹest le troisième volet dʹune trilogie du désenchantement dont "Stranger in Paradise" et "Down by Law" constituent les deux autres. Une histoire en errance, à la musicalité persistante, avec des personnages en marge, atypiques. Dans "Mystery Train", tout se passe à Memphis, la ville du King, dans une Amérique à la fois mythique et miteuse, celle qui fait rêver les uns et cauchemarder les autres. Lʹhommage à Elvis Presley se raconte en une nuit, un train, et trois histoires rythmées par les entrées et sorties de ce train.
On this episode we watch 2005's The Descent. A year after tragedy strikes, a group of friends discover something far worse in the deep caverns of the Appalachian Mountains. This spelunking splatter fest is a contender for many titles, including best horror movie of the 2000s, most objectionable thing to watch for anybody with even the slightest claustrophobia, and having maybe one of the worst best friends in all of horror movie history. Listen up as we also thoroughly debate the appropriate moniker of Vampire Bats vs. Crawlers in this modern horror classic.Other topics include reflecting on the recent loss of Val Kilmer, visiting with Jim Jarmusch, pivotal David Lynch L.A. landmarks, Days of the Dead Chicago, found footage influence in the early 2000s, and the 90s forgotten gem Rumpelstiltskin on 4K.Songs of the WeekFuck and Run by Liz PhairBy the Light of the Silvery Moon by Little RichardRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

HORROR WITH SIR. STURDY EPISODE 534 THE DEAD DON'T DIE REVIEW
From the clanky jangle of that first Tom Waits song to that jangly clank of the last Tom Waits song, you know you are in for a treat. Jim Jarmusch pops back up on the show with his humanist anthology of five stories set in cabs, each taking place in a different city on the same night. Winona, Gena, Giancarlo, Armin, Rosie, Isaach, uh.. Beatrice, Roberto, and … Matti? Look he went truly international with his cast, so I can't name them all off the top of my head.

In this week's episode of Friday Flix, we saddle up and ride into the hauntingly surreal world of Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man (1995). This unconventional Western starring Johnny Depp and Gary Farmer challenges genre tropes with its poetic storytelling, stunning black-and-white cinematography, and Neil Young's haunting score. We'll explore the film's unique take on identity, death, and redemption while breaking down its unforgettable performances and cultural commentary.

This episode, Stephanie takes the helm to guide us through the hauntingly beautiful world of Jim Jarmusch's 2013 film, Only Lovers Left Alive. Join Stephanie, Kelly, and Jack as they delve into the film's exploration of vampirism as a metaphor for the human condition, examining the paradoxes of existence through the eyes of the ancient lovers Adam and Eve.

We consider the film's poetic nature, commentary on art, and the profound impact of its melancholic yet hopeful storytelling. Pour yourself a glass of something rich and join us as we celebrate a film that invites us to reflect on the beauty and complexity of life itself. Is Only Lovers Left Alive a no-notes masterpiece?

Laura Prince et Maxime Delpierre #SessionLive Africolor 2024. À l'occasion de la 35ème édition du festival nomade francilien Africolor (15 novembre-24 décembre), nous invitons Sébastien Lagrave, Laura Prince, Agata Johnson et Maxime Delpierre #SessionLive. L'édito de Sébastien Lagrave : En 2024, Africolor fête ses 35 ans et si le monde de 1989 a disparu, il faut encore et toujours marteler les esprits et les balafons, pincer les rêves et les cordes, frotter les cordes et les mains, pour rappeler aux âmes congelées dans la peur, que l'Afrique est partout et que c'est une bonne nouvelle. La part d'africanités de chacun, nous l'accueillons joyeusement cette année avec la présence des créolités caribéennes : Les frères Cippe, grande famille de tambouyés de Guyane, rencontrent François Ladrezeau (Akiyo) et Samy Thiébault, tandis que Maxime Delpierre, fou de zouk, présente Mini-Jazz-Ouragan cependant que L'Afrique en-chante Kassav' revisite le répertoire mythique avec des instruments africains. L'Afrique est aussi au Nord, quand s'élève la spiritualité rock tunisienne de Nidhal Yahyaoui (Tunisie), quand les chants de transe de Lemma (Algérie) se mêlent au piano-marteau cubain d'Omar Sosa ou quand Mazalda invite la chorale berbère de Bagnolet. Aussi disséminée dans l'océan Indien, elle imprègne la création de Siti Amina (Zanzibar) et Siân Pottok ou encore les mélodies suaves de la révélation Marco Klarck. Mais avant tout, l'Afrique est ici chez elle comme quand Senny Camara rencontre Sequenza 9.3 ou quand la Litanie des Cimes invite Mah Damba. Toutes les Afriques d'Africolor dessinent de nouveaux « nouveaux mondes », où les ailleurs sont ici, les géographies façonnées selon de nouveaux plis, où les points cardinaux se rejoignent en un centre créatif, éruptif, radicalement joyeux et décidé à imprimer ici l'Afrique partout. Laura Prince (concert 22 novembre Maison de la Musique de Nanterre)Assister à un concert de Laura Prince, c'est un peu comme regarder le monde avec un filtre de douceur et d'authenticité. La révélation jazz de ces dernières années revient avec un nouveau projet en hommage à la terre de ses ancêtres, le Togo. Ce retour aux sources la conduit sur les rives de son village familial, au cœur des traditions d'Afrique de l'Ouest, là où les cérémonies vaudou, le tintement rituel des cloches et les chants d'initiés lui inspirent un album à la mémoire de son peuple. Entourée de ses musiciens, Laura Prince chante avec son âme et livre un set aux sonorités métissées, cousu d'improvisations jazzy et pulsé par les percussions traditionnelles. Un voyage introspectif sur ses rives-racines, où l'on navigue volontiers, enveloppé par le velours de sa voix.Auteure, compositrice, interprète, Laura Prince défend une musique épurée qui parle de la mixité de ses racines, de son enfance. Fille du Togo et de la France, elle est bercée depuis toujours par la salsa cubaine de Celia Kruz, l'afrobeat de Fela Kuti et le makossa de Manu Dibango, mais aussi Piaf, Barbara, Brel et Aznavour. Vers 13 ans, elle apprend à lire la musique et s'accompagne au piano. Elle compose et joue ses premiers morceaux. En 2021, elle sort un premier album, Peace of mine. « Révélation Jazz » d'après Jazz Magazine la même année, elle se produit aujourd'hui dans les grands festivals de jazz en France : Marciac, Jazz à Sète, Jazz à Vienne, ainsi qu'en Europe et en Afrique.

De Haïti à la Martinique en passant par la Jamaïque, les sonorités caribéennes l'accompagnent depuis de nombreuses années. Sous l'influence des orchestres haïtiens des années 60 appelés « Mini-Jazz », Maxime Delpierre poursuit son voyage en empruntant un son de guitare à la surf music des orchestres américains et en mélangeant les rythmes du bèlè, de la rumba et du kompa pour créer un jazz-pop teinté de soul. Toujours partant pour étirer le temps en laissant la part belle à l'improvisation et à la transe, Maxime Delpierre et sa team de rêve sont la promesse d'une soirée où « zouker » rime avec évidence.Maxime Delpierre est un compositeur, réalisateur et guitariste français né à Nantes en mai 1975.

Once again, we recorded this episode a while back (a number of months ago, in this case) but due to the lamentable state of many things in the US, our episode this week feels eerily timely. For our first Noirvember Substantive Cinema epsiode of 2024, we are looking at one of Samuel Fuller's most celebrated and highly regarded films, Shock Corridor. In the movie, Johnny Barrett, a journalist in pursuit of fame and acclaim, poses as a lunatic in order to infiltrate a mental institution where a murder has taken place. Can he keep his sanity long enough to solve the case and what will be left of him if he can? In our discussion we cover: how Sam Fuller bluntly portrays America's various psychoses (nationalism, racial hatred, and the worship of violent power) in the three eyewitnesses that Johnny needs to interrogate, the legacy of Fuller's work in filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Spike Lee, and Jim Jarmusch, the role of journalism in a free society, and more!

As a founding member of the legendary rap crew Wu-Tang Clan, RZA revolutionized hip-hop with his ear for experimentation — not to mention raw lyricism, grimy beats and countless kung-fu references. Though he didn't initially think of himself as a composer, RZA has leaned into the title in recent years, scoring movies like Quentin Tarantino's “Kill Bill” and Jim Jarmusch's “Ghost Dog.” He talks to Tom about his first album of orchestral music, “A Ballet Through Mud,” and gaining the confidence to call himself a composer.

This week, Evan talks about BETWEEN THE TEMPLES (2:14), Nathan Silver's Jewish comedy starring Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane about a man's grade-school music teacher who becomes his adult Bat Mitzvah student. Unfortunately, he wasn't a fan of the humor or awkward scenarios. Then, we (Dave and Megan) review HELL HOLE (13:24), John Adams and Toby Poser's (aka the Adams family) horror film about a fracking crew encountering an 1800s soldier, who's still alive with a parasite inside him. We had mixed reviews: One of us liked it, one hated it. Finally, we all discuss SMOKING TIGERS (34:19), So Young Shelly Yo's moving, sensitive, and insightful coming-of-age drama about a Korean-American teen (Ji-young Yoo) as she navigates attending an elite college prep school amidst her parents' separation. We loved it. And on our Patreon exclusive bonus episode, we cover Jim Jarmusch's NIGHT ON EARTH, in honor of Gena Rowlands, who recently passed away and stars in one of the global anthology's segments.

The New York Times called Buffalo, NY born Willie Nile "one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years." Uncut Magazine called him “A one-man Clash” and “the unofficial poet laureate of New York City”. His album Streets Of New York was hailed as “a platter for the ages” by Uncut. Rolling Stone listed The Innocent Ones as one of the “ Top Ten Best Under-The-Radar Albums of 2011” and BBC Radio called it “THE rock ‘n' roll album of the year.” His single from that album, “One Guitar,” was the “Top Pick of the Week” in USA Today. Bono, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend, Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams, Jim Jarmusch, and Little Steven are among those who have sung his praises. Willie just released a new live album “Willie Nile – Live At Daryl's House Club” on River House Records on April 12, 2024. He is currently working on a new studio album and an Anthology project as well. He will be touring in Europe and in North America this year and lives in New York City. willienile.com Contact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Threads: @jannkloseJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!
Send us a Text Message.What if the best films of 2024 aren't the ones plastered across every billboard? Join us as we share our excitement for the hidden gems of the coming year, alongside reflections on the laughter-filled chaos of the end-of-school festivities. From modern field days and oddly renamed tug-of-war events to the sweet anticipation of summer break, we reminisce about the past school year and the joys of movie marathons that lie ahead.Our curiosity takes us into the realm of indie films, where we discuss the profound impact of smaller, less-publicized movies. We dive into how blockbusters like "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer," despite their grand appeal, sometimes lack the emotional depth that indie films often bring. This year, our radar is honed in on the potential breakout talent and the innovative stories that could surprise us all, reflecting on the hits and misses of our 2023 anticipations.As we gear up for a year of cinematic wonders, we chat about the latest releases and what's on the horizon. From the thriller "Love Lies Bleeding" and sci-fi "Spaceman," to the eagerly awaited "The Bike Riders" and "Horizon: An American Saga Part One," our excitement is palpable. We also highlight future masterpieces from directors like Jim Jarmusch, Pedro Almodóvar, and David Cronenberg, and celebrate rising stars like Emma Stone. Our episode is a vibrant celebration of film, filled with anticipation for the stories and performances that will define 2024.Support the Show.

We'll kick off with our top 5 iconic swords in film and television, explore the philosophical depths of Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, and then jump into the animated adventures of Samurai Jack.Top 5 Iconic Swords in Film and Television:Excalibur from "Excalibur" (1981) - The legendary sword of King Arthur, symbolizing true power and right to rule, is one of the most iconic blades in cinematic history, rich in myth and magic.The Bride's Hattori Hanzo Sword in "Kill Bill" - Crafted by the legendary swordsmith Hattori Hanzo, this sword is central to Uma Thurman's quest for vengeance in Quentin Tarantino's stylized action saga.Sting from "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" - Frodo's and Bilbo's elven-made blade that glows blue in the presence of orcs, combining utility with elven elegance.Lightsabers from "Star Wars" - Though technically energy weapons, lightsabers function as swords with their distinct hum and combat style, becoming cultural icons synonymous with space opera heroics.Longclaw from "Game of Thrones" - Jon Snow's Valyrian steel sword, bestowed upon him by Lord Commander Mormont, symbolizes his growth from a bastard son to a leader and protector.Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, directed by Jim Jarmusch and starring Forest Whitaker, is a unique blend of American gangster cinema and the samurai tradition. The film follows Ghost Dog, a hitman who lives by the ancient code of the samurai as outlined in the book "Hagakure." The movie explores themes of loyalty, honor, and the clash between old-world values and modern realities. It's a thoughtful, meditative approach to the crime genre that uses the way of the samurai to delve into existential questions.Samurai Jack, created by Genndy Tartakovsky, is an animated series that follows a samurai prince who wields a magical sword in his relentless quest to defeat the shape-shifting demon Aku. Known for its visual style that blends Eastern and Western aesthetics, the show is celebrated for its storytelling, art direction, and the way it addresses themes of good versus evil. It's not only entertaining for kids but also captivates adults with its depth and creativity.Whether you're fascinated by the legendary swords that have defined heroes and villains alike, drawn to the philosophical musings of a modern-day samurai, or a fan of animated adventures that span time and space, today's episode promises sharp insights and cutting-edge entertainment. Join us as we celebrate these blades and their bearers in another thrilling installment of Bad Dads Film Review.
