There is so much physical media this week that Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski moved some of it to next week's show. (You can still get them now.) Regardless there is still plenty to talk about this week including a French adaptation of a Jim Thompson novel and the debut feature from James Gray. Another of the Broadway Melody films has been released along with more film noir from Kino and the bizarre films of Duke Mitchell. One of the great Peter O'Toole performances gets an upgrade as does Abel Ferrara's underappreciated take on the Body Snatcher invasion. Erik & Peter mince no words on their feelings of one of the dumbest screenplays ever but turn it all around with one of the best coming-of-age films of recent years and, frankly, maybe ever. 2:30 - Criterion (Coup de Torchon (4K), Little Odessa (4K)) 12:29 - Warner Archive (Broadway Melody of 1938) 18:14 - Kino (Film Noir: The Dark Side of Cinema XXVII) 28:01 - Grindhouse Releasing (The Duke Mitchell Collection) 39:02 - Shout Factory (The Stunt Man (4K)) 52:52 - Alliance (Fresh Horses (Retro VHS Packaging)) 58:58 - Vinegar Syndrome (Body Snatchers (4K)) 1:11:30 - Arrow (Identity (4K)) 1:23:29 - Lionsgate (Are You There God?

Paul Dye is a lifelong martial artist and one of the most accomplished competitors and instructors to emerge from the world of American Kenpo. He began his martial arts journey in 1972 at Dave Hebler's Kenpo Karate Studio in Glendora, California, training under Jim Thompson before earning his black belt from Grandmaster Ed Parker just 18 months later, an achievement that reflected both his dedication and natural ability. Teaching became part of his path almost immediately. Beginning as an instructor while still a colored belt, Paul went on to spend decades working with students from all walks of life, including individuals facing challenges such as blindness, hearing loss, and cerebral palsy. Paul also trained extensively under Ed Parker himself, becoming part of the legendary Friday Night Technique Line in Pasadena, where some of the art's most serious practitioners gathered to sharpen their skills and deepen their understanding of Kenpo. As a competitor, he built an extraordinary tournament career, capturing more than 60 open black belt championships along with over a dozen grand champion titles. His success spanned four decades, giving him a level of longevity and consistency few martial artists have ever achieved. Beyond the tournament circuit, Paul has traveled throughout the United States and Europe teaching seminars, mentoring instructors, and helping spread Kenpo internationally. He also played an important role behind the scenes at major events such as the International Karate Championships in Long Beach. Please welcome to the show, Paul Dye.

Stephen Frears is not an habitual purveyor of the sort of cult cinema we usually cover on this show. But we do love our noir, and Frears does have two outstanding neo-noirs in his filmography, so why not knock them both off the list in one episode? Bryce joins us to discuss The Grifters (1990), along with Frears' earlier effort, The Hit (1984). This is noir with an emphasis on existential. And his Oscar-nominated Grifters may have been an establishment darling, but adapted by Donald Westlake from a Jim Thompson novel, it has a hell of a crime fiction pedigree, and goes to some incredibly dark places. We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for The Grifters by skipping ahead to the 1:30:59 mark, and for The Hit by skipping ahead to 2:29:02.

That's My Story, But Not Where It Ends: Robert Polito on Bob Dylan's Second Act

Keen On Democracy

“That's my story, but not where it ends.” — Bob Dylan, “Key West (Philosopher Pirate)”Fitzgerald said there were no second acts in the American story. But it is, of course, a narrative of second chances. And there's no more of an American story than Bob Dylan, whose second act may be more memorable than his first.Robert Polito — poet, National Book Critics Circle Award-winning biographer, and former director of creative writing at the New School — has written what may be the (anti) definitive book on Dylan's second act. After the Flood: Inside Bob Dylan's Memory Palace covers the years from “Time Out of Mind” in 1997 through “Rough and Rowdy Ways” in 2020. It's structured as an abecedarium — twenty-six chapters, A to Z — because Polito explains, he wanted a form that acknowledged the limits of what anyone can know about Dylan. There is no rosebud sled buried in the Tulsa archive. So an alphabet book as good as we are gonna get.Digging into Dylan's Tulsa archive, Polito found much blood on the tracks — multiple drafts for every work, songs ripped up and redistributed line by line. The freewheeling spontaneity of Dylan's first act, Polito suggests, was replaced by something more deliberate: an American folk process merging into literary modernism. A hostage to his own memory palace, Dylan weaves Civil War poetry, Ovid's exile poems, Homer, and nineteenth-century speeches into songs that know more than any single listener can interpret.Polito argues that “Rough and Rowdy Ways” is Bob Dylan's real Nobel Prize speech — his self-reflection on his own art, delivered in his own forms and idioms. This pinnacle of Dylan's second act is his story, but not where it ends. Five Takeaways•       Rough and Rowdy Ways Is Dylan's Real Nobel Prize Speech: The 2020 album is Dylan's self-reflection on his own art, delivered in his own forms and idioms. Every song addresses his craft, his legacy, his audience. I Contain Multitudes, Key West, Murder Most Foul, My Own Version of You — each one a chapter in the speech the Nobel committee was waiting for. That's when Polito knew he could write the book.•       Dylan Works Harder Than Anyone Would Expect: The Tulsa archive reveals multiple drafts of songs that change radically from version to version. For Time Out of Mind, Dylan completed three or four songs, then ripped them up and redistributed the lines across different tracks. The spontaneity of the first act gave way to something more deliberate — folk process merging into literary modernism. Eliot, Joyce, Gertrude Stein.•       The Memory Palace Is Real: Dylan embeds Civil War poetry, Ovid's exile poems, Homer, nineteenth-century speeches, and movies into his late songs. The classical mnemonic device — depositing memories in specific rooms — became Polito's image for how much those songs know. There is no rosebud sled buried in the Tulsa archive. The memory palace is the art itself.•       That's My Story, But Not Where It Ends: The last line of Key West — probably Polito's favourite song on Rough and Rowdy Ways. If the song had ended with “that's my story,” there would have been a definitiveness about it. Instead, Dylan subverts the line in the very next breath. Tentativeness and self-skepticism, all the way through.•       The Police Didn't Believe He Was Bob Dylan: Wandering around New Jersey in the rain, looking for where Springsteen grew up. The police pick him up. What's your name? Bob Dylan. What's your real name? Robert Zimmerman. Where do you live? That's a good question. The more precisely he told the truth, the more they assumed he was lying. Knowing innocence. About the GuestRobert Polito is a poet, critic, and biographer. His biography of Jim Thompson, Savage Art, won the National Book Critics Circle Award. He is a former director of creative writing at the New School. After the Flood: Inside Bob Dylan's Memory Palace is published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.References:•       After the Flood: Inside Bob Dylan's Memory Palace by Robert Polito (FSG) — the book under discussion.•       Episode 2849: How Stories Can Save Us — Colum McCann on Narrative Four. McCann's “that's his story, but not where it ends” is also Dylan's line.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic.

fWotD Episode 3150: The Getaway (1972 film) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 19 December 2025, is The Getaway (1972 film).The Getaway is a 1972 American action thriller film based on the 1958 novel by Jim Thompson. The film was directed by Sam Peckinpah and written by Walter Hill, and stars Steve McQueen, Ali MacGraw, Ben Johnson, Al Lettieri, and Sally Struthers. The plot follows imprisoned mastermind robber Carter "Doc" McCoy, whose wife Carol conspires for his release on the condition they rob a bank in Texas. A double-cross follows the crime, and the McCoys are forced to flee for Mexico with the police and criminals in hot pursuit.Peter Bogdanovich, whose The Last Picture Show impressed McQueen and producer David Foster, was originally hired as the director of The Getaway. Thompson came on board to write the screenplay, but creative differences ensued between him and McQueen, and Thompson was subsequently fired, along with Bogdanovich. Writing and directing duties eventually went to Hill and Peckinpah, respectively. Principal photography commenced February 7, 1972, on location in Texas. The film reunited McQueen and Peckinpah, who had worked together on the relatively unprofitable Junior Bonner, released the same year.The Getaway premiered December 19, 1972. Despite the negative reviews it received upon release, numerous retrospective critics have reevaluated the film positively. A box-office hit earning over $36 million, it was the eighth highest-grossing film of 1972, and one of the most financially successful productions of Peckinpah's and McQueen's careers. A film remake of the same name starring Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger was released in 1994.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:56 UTC on Friday, 19 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see The Getaway (1972 film) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.

  On this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Ethan Sanchez (Grassroots Engagement Director, Americans for Prosperity–Wisconsin) and Marine Corps veteran Jim Thompson to unpack a little-known piece of Wisconsin law: it's illegal to open a new cigar lounge in the state. Because of Wisconsin's Clean Indoor Air Act, only a handful of pre-2009 cigar lounges are allowed to operate—creating a de facto state-protected monopoly and shutting out entrepreneurs like Jim, who has a full business plan, funding, and community impact model ready to go. Ethan and Jim explain: How Wisconsin's smoking ban grandfathered old lounges but banned new ones Why modern lounges in other states have far better air purification and cleaner environments How the new bill (SB/AB 211) would not force lounges on any town, but simply return the decision to local communities What this change would mean for jobs, tax revenue, and cigar lovers who just want a place to gather and build real relationships If you care about entrepreneurship, local control, and letting adults make adult choices, this conversation will light you up like a good cigar.

This week I'm recommending four crime films from the 1970s and early 80s. Each one centers on a planned job, bank heists, robberies, break-ins, and none of them go smoothly. The tone across these films is lean, serious, and focused on the people involved more than the action. There's a lot of attention to detail, and they hold up well.Charley Varrick (1973) Directed by Don Siegel. Walter Matthau plays a bank robber who ends up in the crosshairs of something bigger than expected. Matthau had just done more comedic work at the time, so this role stood out. Joe Don Baker plays a contract killer hired to clean things up. Lalo Schifrin did the score, which is sharp and suits the pace. It was based on the novel The Looters by John Reese.The Anderson Tapes (1971)Directed by Sidney Lumet. Sean Connery is a thief planning to rob an entire apartment building. The film stands out for how it handles surveillance. Almost every major character is being watched by police, by private groups, by government agencies. This was Christopher Walken's first film. The music is by Quincy Jones, and it's more experimental than you'd expect.Thief (1981) Michael Mann's first feature film. James Caan plays a professional safecracker who wants to get out after one last job. Mann used real tools and brought in actual former thieves to advise on the technical side. The film has a cold, exact feel. The soundtrack is by Tangerine Dream. It's shot in Chicago and uses the city well without overdoing it.The Getaway (1972) Directed by Sam Peckinpah. Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw star as a couple on the run after a robbery. The script was written by Walter Hill and based on a novel by Jim Thompson. The film was a big success when it came out and mixes action with slower moments of tension. McQueen did many of his own stunts. It's one of the more polished crime films of its time.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This is a public episode.
