Podcast appearances and mentions of John Cassavetes

“The film you have just seen was an improvisation.” – Shadows (1959)This week, returning guest Robert Bellissimo joins us for a conversation on John Cassavetes' Shadows,, a landmark of American independent cinema. Shot on the streets of New York with a semi-improvised style and a raw, jazz-infused energy, Shadows broke all the rules and opened new possibilities for personal filmmaking in the U.S.We explore how Cassavetes challenged Hollywood norms, foregrounded race and identity in ways ahead of its time, and crafted a film that still feels immediate and alive decades later. Shadows isn't just a turning point in film history, it's the spark that lit the indie movement.Episode NotesShadows (1959) was written and directed by John CassavetesSelected to the National Film Registry in 1993Known for:Pioneering an improvisational, vérité-inspired approach to filmmakingDepicting interracial relationships in a candid and progressive lightLaunching the American independent film movementDiscussion topics include:Cassavetes' creative process and legacyThe tension between scripted and unscripted storytellingNew York City as a character in the filmHow Shadows opened doors for generations of indie filmmakersFeaturing returning guest:Robert Bellissimo, actor, filmmaker, and host of Robert Bellissimo at the Movies Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

The 1980s was not only a time of genre excellence, but also one of romantic comedies about surly tone-deaf white men and their indefatigable struggle to remain that way. To this semi golden age of toxic masculinity, we consign “Paul Mazursky's Tempest,” in which an otherwise sensitive and big-hearted filmmaker somehow marshals the talents of John Cassavetes, Gena Rowlands, Susan Sarandon, Raul Julia, and (in her big screen debut) Molly Ringwald, to deliver some of the least likable characters in screen history. And it's (vaguely) based on Shakespeare's “The Tempest”, which only leaves Paul, Javi, and - indubitably - Producer Brad filling the much needed void with some of the finest comedy commentary of their careers!Follow us!InstagramBlueskyemail: Multiplexoverthruster@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Ο Φαίδωνας Παπαμιχαήλ είναι ένας από τους σημαντικότερους Έλληνες διευθυντές φωτογραφίας και σκηνοθέτη με λαμπρή διεθνή καριέρα, εντυπωσιακές συνεργασίες και φιλμογραφία γεμάτη αστέρες. Γεννημένος στην Αθήνα και μεγαλωμένος στο Μόναχο, ο Παπαμιχαήλ μεγάλωσε με ταινίες του John Wayne και spaghetti westerns, μέχρι που τον μάγεψε η φωτογραφία του Ραούλ Κουτάρ στο Le Mépris του Jean-Luc Godard. Στη δεκαετία του '80, με αφορμή μια πρόσκληση του θείου του, John Cassavetes, βρίσκεται στη Νέα Υόρκη, δίπλα στον πολυπράγμονα πατέρα του, σκηνογράφο, και πολύ σύντομα περνά πίσω από την κάμερα — απόφαση που τελικά παραβίασε την υπόσχεση που κάποτε έδωσε στη μητέρα του. Μόνιμος συνεργάτης του Τζέιμς Μάνγκολντ και του Αλεξάντερ Πέιν, με πάνω από 40 ταινίες στο ενεργητικό του, παραμένει ένας από τους πλέον περιζήτητους διευθυντές φωτογραφίας στο Χόλιγουντ. Ξέρει να φωτίζει διακριτικά αλλά ουσιαστικά τα μεγαλύτερα ονόματα της βιομηχανίας — από την Τζούλια Ρόμπερτς και τον Νίκολας Κέιτζ, μέχρι την Κέιτ Μπλάνσετ, τον στενό του φίλο Τζορτζ Κλούνεϊ, και πιο πρόσφατα τον Σον Πεν στο Daddio. Χειρίζεται με άνεση τόσο το αναλογικό όσο και το ψηφιακό μέσο, υπηρετώντας πάντα την αφήγηση και το σκηνοθετικό όραμα — είτε πρόκειται για σκηνές δράσης όπως στο Ford v Ferrari, είτε για την ποιητική ησυχία του Nebraska. Έχει προταθεί δύο φορές για Όσκαρ και έξι για το βραβείο της Ένωσης Αμερικανών Διευθυντών Φωτογραφίας. Πρόσφατα ξεχώρισε ξανά με τη δουλειά του στο A Complete Unknown, καταγράφοντας τη ζωή ενός ακόμη εμβληματικού μουσικού, μετά το Walk the Line, με τρόπο που σέβεται απόλυτα την αυτοσυγκέντρωση των ηθοποιών και την αλήθεια της σκηνής. Αφορμή για τη συνάντησή του με τον Θοδωρή Κουτσογιαννόπουλο είναι η έκτη του σκηνοθετική απόπειρα, τη νέα ταινία μυθοπλασίας Όταν το Φως Πέφτει, που γυρίστηκε στην Ανάβυσσο, και βγαίνει στους κινηματογράφους σήμερα 8 Μαΐου 2025.

Prepare-se para mergulhar no mundo implacável dos filmes de ação que marcaram época com suas tramas cruas, personagens solitários e violência estilizada. Neste episódio, exploramos três clássicos que representam diferentes facetas do gênero: o western explosivo Navajo Joe de Sergio Corbucci, o thriller urbano com alma feminina Gloria de John Cassavetes, e o minimalismo letal de Assassino a Preço Fixo estrelado por Charles Bronson.

Complete Interview.   Susan Oxtoby: The Life and Career of Agnes Varda Susan Oxtoby. Photo: BAMPFA. Susan Oxtoby, Director of Film and Senior Film Curator at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA), discusses the work of the great Belgian-French film maker Agnes Varda (1928-2019) with host Richard Wolinsky. The first major biography of Agnes Varda, A Complicated Passion: The Life and Work of Agnes Varda by Carrie Rickey, was published in 2024 and will come out in paperback on August 12, 2025. Agnes Varda began her career as a stills photographer and became a director with La Point Courte (1954), having seen very few films in her life. She went on to international fame with Cleo from 5 to 7 and Vagabond, but her late life films The Beaches of Agnes and Faces, Places established her as one of the most important directors of the modern era. All the films discussed in this interview (except the recent documentary Viva Varda!) are available to stream on the Criterion app, save for Faces, Places, which can be streamed on Kanopy. Cleo from 5 to 7 can also be streamed on Max Complete Interview.     Book Interview/Events and Theatre Links Note: Shows may unexpectedly close early or be postponed due to actors' positive COVID tests.

John Cassavetes Directs Gena Rowlands appeared first on KPFA.

"Opening Night" is a film about acting and a film about aging. Trying to make sense of a role is hard when you are drowning yourself in alcohol. It's hard to cope with loss when your career is on the line. Gena Rowlands, who plays the lead character, Myrtle, is pure tour de force acting. This film is a masterclass of not only acting but cinema overall. John Cassavetes directed this film and he broke the rules of cinema with this film. It shows that you can do whatever you want however you want as long as you make it sense to yourself. To make something of your own, you gotta make sure it even makes sense. I love that Cassavetes made a film where Rowland's characters went through hard trials and tribulations. In this podcast, I talk about the amazing acting played by Rowlands and the cast included. I talk about how Cassavetes uses the space of not only the stage but the venue itself to create a feel of the audience being there witnessing Rowlands act and as well Cassavetes himself. I also talk about how all this acting and meaning derives from what I feel is a strong screenplay written by Cassavetes. You witness the layers and personalities of the characters and how they work with one another. This is a film where there are sharp turns you gotta be ready for it.Four out of four tokes.

Send us a textDo you remember Rosemary's Baby? The ultra controversial movie of the 60s. It might not be so controversial now but that doesn't mean we're not excited about watching it. Starring In a role that sky rocketed Mia Farrow to stardom it also had a slew of 60s powerhouse character actors. We admit we do not remember a lot about this movie other than Lady has sex with Satan, Lady gets pregnant, has baby and the world is worse off because of it. So join us as we go back to the 1960s and watch Rosemary's Baby.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 94 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Trace Sauveur to discuss the next film in their Elaine May series, Mikey and Nicky (1976). Just a few years after the second film, Elaine May set out to make her follow-up to The Heartbreak Kid, and in doing so, made one of the most memorable films of the 1970s in Mikey and Nicky. While the movie was another step forward for the director as a visual storyteller and featured to dynamite performances from Peter Falk and John Cassavetes, its journey to the big screen was wild, as it took May years to hand the studio a finished edit of the film, as she tinkered with it until she was forced to hand it over. Even after its release, she still wasn't fully satisfied with the final film, reworking on it some when it got into the Criterion Collection. In the end, what she gave us is an intense, heartbreaking looking into a crumbling friendship set over the course of one night. Ryan, Jay, and Trace breakdown their thoughts on the film, May's direction, the behind the scenes stories of the making of the film, their thoughts on the main character's friendship, the harsh ending, and the fall of auteur driven cinema of the 1970s.  You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h53m. The guys will be back next week to conclude their series on the films of Elaine May with a review of her final film, Ishtar. You can rent it via YouTube in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

L'actrice, scénariste et metteuse en scène est à l'affiche de la série « Ghosts : Fantômes en héritage », disponible sur Disney + le 9 avril, et sur scène avec « Ça va ça va ». Camille Chamoux nous accueille dans son appartement du 11e arrondissement, à Paris, qu'elle décrit comme « un studio d'enregistrement de musique californien des années 1970 ». Car il y a plein de bois partout, deux guitares, un mange-disque et un piano sur lequel elle joue quelques notes. Et même si elle fredonne « On écrit sur les murs », de Kids United, la Prix Molière 2022 de l'humour (pour « Le Temps de vivre ») s'est moins illustrée dans la chanson que sur les écrans et sur scène. Son goût pour l'interprétation remonte d'ailleurs à son enfance, où elle jouait des textes de Sylvie Joly, Pierre Desproges et Raymond Devos, devant un public constitué de ses deux grands-mères.Fille d'un père expert dans le secteur de la communication et d'une mère juriste, Camille Chamoux a grandi à Paris, dans une famille de droite, libérale, « où il y a toujours eu de l'espace pour le dialogue ». Un dialogue qui s'est intensifié de ses 8 à 15 ans, jusqu'au lycée Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague, où les instructeurs jésuites ont dû s'armer de patience pour lui démontrer l'existence d'un Dieu en lequel elle ne croyait pas. A cette époque, elle lit « tout Roald Dahl » et s'entiche des personnages de « La Comédie humaine » et des « Misérables ».Après des classes en cours préparatoires pour passer le concours de l'Ecole normale supérieure, elle s'oriente vers le théâtre et s'extasie devant les films de Patrice Chéreau et de John Cassavetes. Dans cet épisode du « Goût de M », Camille Chamoux évoque aussi son rapport à la psychanalyse, qui « a décuplé [ses] ressources et [ses] capacités d'invention », sa recherche de l'empathie et son absence d'« obsession du matériel », même si elle adore l'architecture et aime prendre soin de l'aménagement de son intérieur.Depuis six saisons, la journaliste et productrice Géraldine Sarratia interroge la construction et les méandres du goût d'une personnalité. Qu'ils ou elles soient créateurs, artistes, cuisiniers ou intellectuels, tous convoquent leurs souvenirs d'enfance, tous évoquent la dimension sociale et culturelle de la construction d'un corpus de goûts, d'un ensemble de valeurs.Un podcast produit et présenté par Géraldine Sarratia (Genre idéal) préparé avec l'aide de Diane Lisarelli et de Juliette SavardRéalisation : Emmanuel BauxMusique : Gotan Project Hébergé par Audion.

Five PodcastersOne MovieNo ExitStealing the tagline for this movie to promote the podcast was easy, so is the conversation we have about this 1976 Disaster/Exploitation film. Two Minute Warning came out a year before the better remembered "Black Sunday" and it features a different crazed manic trying to kill people at the American Football Championship.  Dave Anderson of the Free Kittens Movie Guide championed the film to victory in the March MOTM Poll and he hosts the discussion which includes Will Slater from Exploding Helicopter, James Wilson of Blogging by Cinema Light and Matthew Simpson from the Awesome Friday Podcast. (As well as your regular host) Charlton Heston and John Cassavetes try to prevent a sniper from killing a whole litany of guest actors at a football game. Is it a thriller or a disaster film? Come find out who gets it. 

In this Diana Wynyard Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode, we look at probably her best-known film, Gaslight (directed by Thorold Dickinson), and consider its pros and cons relative to the Cukor/Selznick Hollywood version of a few years later, as well as the question of how "gaslighting" became an internet meme and how well the source fits the popular meaning. Then we turn to an oddball film with an anti-nationalism message, Freedom Radio (Anthony Asquith), set in Nazi Germany but with a broader application, and consider how Wynyard's screen persona informs her tricky role. Then, in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, we battle it out over Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (cluttered or perfect screenplay by Charlie Kaufman?) and find accord on John Cassavetes' revealing potboiler, Gloria (love story between a tiny man and a deadly goddess).  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:    GASLIGHT (1940) [dir.

Social Discipline is incredibly excited to present the adventurous life of Jeff Perkins, a hidden gem of the American underground. This massive five-hour podcast, recorded in Berlin in June 2024, explores his fascinating journey—no one else can claim to have performed for Yoko Ono and John Cage, created legendary light shows with The Velvet Underground, Sly and the Family Stone, and The Germs, programmed the first Kenneth Anger retrospective in L.A., and encountered both Charles Manson and members of the satanic cult The Process. Jeff joined the military in the 1960s and was stationed in Tokyo, where he met Yoko Ono in the early '60s. He began performing some of her pieces there and later in New York. Perkins also filmed Ono's classic Film No. 4 (Bottoms), a Fluxus work. His first independent contribution to the Fluxfilm Anthology was Shout. He was at the heart of the 1960s New York avant-garde scene, surrounded by figures like La Monte Young, Jack Smith, and Angus MacLise. In January 1967, Perkins moved to Los Angeles, where he worked as a programmer at Cinematheque 16. Influenced by Tony Conrad's The Flicker, he began producing powerful light shows and collaborated with bands throughout the '60s and '70s—ranging from The Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Grateful Dead to the punk scene with X and The Germs. He even refused to do a show for the Sex Pistols due to a disagreement with the promoter. Perkins was a close friend of Terry Jennings and, in fact, entrusted his archive to La Monte Young. While in L.A., he was neighbors with the artist James Turrell. In 1980, Perkins moved back to New York and started a loft project just a block away from Ground Zero, reminiscent of George Maciunas' artist loft spaces. To finance it, he worked as a cab driver. He remained deeply connected to cinema, particularly through Anthology Film Archives, where he proposed a John Cassavetes retrospective to Jonas Mekas and later became a manager. In 1994, Nam June Paik—who coined the term “The Fluxus cab driver” for Perkins—invited him to perform at Anthology Film Archives in a homage to Yoko Ono. His performance, Butthead, was a great success. His legendary loft became a hub where one could easily encounter visiting filmmakers like Pedro Costa and Albert Serra. In 1989, Perkins organized a series of lectures at Anthology Film Archives with Henry Flynt and Tony Conrad, reuniting the two after years of estrangement. Flynt would become a lifelong friend. In 2008, during the financial crisis, when I lived with Jeff, we organized a series of four-hour lectures by Flynt in the loft's kitchen, focusing on the crisis and communist economics. I vividly remember Tony Conrad attending one of them in his elegant pajamas. Perkins has directed two critically acclaimed films—one on abstract painter Sam Francis and another on the legendary Fluxus figure George Maciunas. He is currently finishing editing a film about Henry Flynt in Berlin. This podcast concludes with an excerpt from his piece Movies for the Blind, which features recordings of conversations with passengers from his time as a New York cab driver.

En 2015, on ne parlait pas beaucoup du mouvement #MeToo. Encore moins dans un Japon ancré depuis le confucianisme dans un moule laissant peu de place et de droits aux femmes. Cette année-là, Shiori Itō, une jeune journaliste stagiaire, pensait qu'accepter de passer la soirée avec Noriyuki Yamaguchi, le PPDA local, pourrait lui ouvrir certaines portes. Une bonne partie du Japon lui a fermé les siennes, quand elle a décidé de porter plainte contre lui pour viol. Plus encore quand Yamaguchi était un proche du premier ministre. Itō a pour autant persévéré dans sa démarche, qu'elle documente dans Black Box Diaries, récit de son combat juridique. Il tient évidemment d'une lutte façon pot de terre contre de pot de fer, aucun obstacle n'étant épargné à la plaignante, mais Black Box Diaries raconte surtout une histoire plus globale que ce cas particulier, quand Itō se retrouve en position de crime de lèse-majesté pour avoir osé révéler publiquement ce qui lui est arrivé en dépit de toutes les preuves flagrantes. Black Box Diaries reprend le fil de cette affaire à la manière d'un carnet de bord étonnant quand il se fait à la fois témoin du courage d'une femme qui ne voulait pas se taire et portrait d'une société qui commence à peine à parler. Ce cas a contribué à quelques modifications de la législation japonaise sur le viol, mais à ce stade, Itō, en dépit d'un premier procès gagné, reste vilipendée dans son pays au point de s'en être exilée. Black Box Diaries, lui, a clamé son édifiante histoire dans les quasi 160 pays où il est sorti. Sauf au Japon, où aucun distributeur ne s'est à ce jour risqué à le projeter.En 2015, Pamela Anderson est encore prisonnière de son image de bimbo. Son rôle dans Alerte à Malibu, comme sa sextape, restent les seuls titres de gloire de l'actrice, plus visible dans la presse people qu'au cinéma. Il lui faudra dix ans de plus pour trouver un rôle d'envergure. On pourrait presque parler de rôle de sa vie avec The Last Showgirl, la danseuse d'une revue de Las Vegas qui s'arrête après trente ans de représentation résonne forcément avec la trajectoire d'Anderson passée sous les projecteurs sans avoir été vue pour ce qu'elle était, au-delà de son physique. Équivalent pour elle de ce que fut The Wrestler pour la réhabilitation de Mickey Rourke, The Last Showgirl va voir derrière le miroir aux alouettes et paillettes avec une lucidité crève-cœur, autant pour raconter le prolétariat d'un show-biz décati – via une foultitude de personnages impeccablement joués notamment par Jamie Lee Curtis et Dave Bautista – que pour démontrer qu'on est passé à côté d'une comédienne de premier ordre, faute d'avoir eu la chance de trouver son John Cassavetes ou son Robert Altman. Mais aussi qu'à l'image de Shelly, cette danseuse qui croit encore à son métier ou cette séquence d'ultime audition sur fond du bien nommé "Total Eclipse of the Heart". Il est peut-être trop tard pour un come-back, The Last Showgirl indiquant tristement que les lumières ne se rallumeront sans doute plus.Black Box Diaries, The Last Showgirl. En salles le 12 mars.

EPISODE 76 - “MEMORABLE OSCAR SPEECHES OF THE GOLDEN ERA OF HOLLYWOOD” - 2/24/2025 Winning an Oscar is a dream for most people who work in Hollywood. But you can't just win the Oscar, you have to have a good speech once your name is called and you head to the podium. There have been some great ones — OLIVIA COLEMAN's funny and cheeky speech hit the right tone and who can forget JACK PALANCE's one-arm push-ups or CUBA GOODING's exuberance? There have also been some bad ones — don't we all still cringe a little at SALLY FIELDS' “You like me” speech? As we prepare to celebrate the 97th annual Academy Award ceremony, Steve and Nan look back on some of their favorite Oscar speeches and why they resonate. So put on your tux, don the gown and jewels, pop the champagne, and join us for a fun talk about … well, people talking.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: “Five Times The Oscars Made History,” January 20, 2017, www.nyfa.edu; “Hollywood History: How World War II Forced the Academy to Rethink the 1942 Oscars,” April 16, 2021, Entertainment Weekly; “Charlie Chaplin vs. America Explores the Accusations that Sent a Star Into Exile,” October 24, 2023, byTerry Gross, www.npr.com; “The Most Memorable Oscar Speeches in Oscar History,” March 6, 2024, by Shannon Carlin, www.time.com;   Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; www.Oscars.org; Movies Mentioned:  Stella Dallas (1938), starring Barbara Stanwyck, John Boles, Anne Shirley, & Alan Hale; Gone With The Wind (1939), starring Vivian Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland, Leslie Howard, Hattie McDaniel, Butterfly McQueen, Thomas Mitchell, & Barbara O'Neil; How Green Was My Valley (1941), starring Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O'Hara, & Donald Crisp; Sergeant York (1941), starring Gary Cooper, Joan Leslie, & Walter Brennan;  The Devil and Miss Jones (1941), staring Jean Arthur Robert Cummings, & Charle Coburn; Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941), starring Robert Montgomery, Claude Rains, & Evelyn Keyes; Ball of Fire (1942), starring Barbara Stanwyck & Cary Cooper; Double Indemnity (1944), starring Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray & Edward G Robinson; Key Largo (1948); starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Edward G Robinson, Claire Trevor, & Lionel Barrymore; All The King's Men (1948), starring Broderick Crawford, John Ireland, Joanne Dru, & Mercedes McCambridge; Pinky (1949), starring Jeanne Crain, Ethel Waters, Ethel Barrymore, Nina Mae McKinney, & Wiliam Lundigan; Marty (1955); starring Ernest Borgnine.

Pamela Adlon landed her first movie role when she was sixteen, and then twenty years later, she won an Emmy... for playing a teenage boy. Her thirteen seasons as Bobby Hill on King of the Hill made her a world-famous voice actor, but she's equally renowned for creating and starring in Better Things. Pam is also a director – her first feature, Babes, came out last year – and she sits down with Ben Mankiewicz to discuss her deep love of movies, which includes everything from musicals to the films of John Cassavetes. Films Mentioned: Grease 2 Babes Biosphere Creep The Animatrix Anora Deadwood* Porky's Love Streams Fame Bugsy Malone The Wiz One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest The Shining To Kill a Mockingbird The Guns of Navarone Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein Mamma Mia!* My Old Ass Schindler's List The Notebook Terms of Endearment Coming Home The Birdcage* Merrie Melodies - Rabbit Hood *Available on Max as of 1/28 (Availability of titles subject to change) Learn more about your ad choices.

In the eighth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by filmmakers Mario Ruiz and Alejandro Etcheagaray to discuss the independent cult spirit of cinema experimentalist John Cassavetes in what would be his final penultimate expression of his signature raw character portraits in the emotionally elusive and narratively complex Love Streams (1984).

Roman Polanski adapts Ira Levin's 1967 novel into this 1968 film, though adapts may not be the right word. Transcribes, maybe? The original cut was a very faithful transference of the source material into the film medium, perhaps more faithful than any novel to film adaptation has ever been. Then he let someone else edit it down to a reasonable movie. Mia Farrow is great in it, perhaps because her personal life married to Frank Sinatra was pretty close to Rosemary's story. John Cassavetes is great in it despite Polanski's best efforts to reign him in. And I know have a least favorite cinematic satan to add to the list.

Episode 123: Tom, Evan and Marcus kick off the new year with a bonafide neurotic 70s classic, Elaine May's MIKEY AND NICKY starring John Cassavetes and Peter Falk at their wiry and eccentric best!

Kelsi and Trey dive deep into the 1968 classic Rosemary's Baby, a landmark in horror cinema and cultural commentary. We explore the film's themes of gaslighting, autonomy, and betrayal, unpacking how it critiques societal control over women's bodies. From Mia Farrow's haunting portrayal of Rosemary to the chilling dynamics of the Castevets and Guy's (John Cassavetes) devastating betrayal, we analyze how the film's psychological horror transcends the genre to deliver a biting social critique. They also discuss the controversial legacy of Roman Polanski as a filmmaker and the enduring relevance of Rosemary's Baby in today's conversations about autonomy, power, and oppression; specifically unpacking the interpretations of Rosemary's Baby as a feminist text, versus the actual intentions of the author and filmmakers. ⁠The Extra Credits YouTube Channel⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠How to link Patreon to Spotify and Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd: ⁠The Extra Credits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: The Extra Credits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reddit: r/TheExtraCredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠@theextracredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠@theextracredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Send requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com

EPISODE 61 - “FAVORITE CLASSIC FILMS OF THE 1960s” - 11/11/2024 The decade of the 1960s was an exciting time in filmmaking. The stodgy studio contract system was starting to give way to a new crop of independent cinematic auteurs, often associated with the "New Hollywood" era, include: Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman, Sam Peckinpah, Arthur Penn, John Cassavetes, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and Peter Bogdanovich. These films were edgier and pushed the creative boundaries and social themes to reflect the changing times. In this episode, Steve and Nan discuss some of their favorite films of the decade and why they had such an impact!  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Some Like It Cool (2002), by Michael Freehand; Mike Nichols: A Life (2021), by Mark Harris; Jean Simmons: Her Life and Career (2022), by Michelangelo Capua; “Veronica Cartwright talks about ‘The Birds',” February 8, 2008, YouTube; “Here's to You, Mr. Nichols: The Making of ‘The Graduate',” February 25, 2008, by Sam Kashner, Vanity Fair; “Tippi Hedren On Alfred Hitchcock's ‘The Birds',” April 29, 2009, The American FIlm Institute; “The Revenge of Alfred Hitchcock's Muse,” October 5, 2012, New York Magazine; “Tippi Hedren: Hitchcock Ruined My Career,” December 7, 2012, Huffington Post; “Throwback Thursday: Shirley MacLaine Recalls Filming Lesbian Drama ‘Children's Hour' in 1961,” June 4, 2015, Hollywood Reporter;  “The Underappreciated Genius of ‘Planet of the Apes',” May 18, 2024, by Janelle Bouie, New York Times; “The Children's Hour,” October 16, 2024, Episode 257, Feminist Frequency Podcast; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; IBDB.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  The Graduate (1967), starring Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, Katharine Ross, William Daniels, Elizabeth Wilson, Murray Hamilton, Buck Henry, Marion Lorne, Alice Ghostly, Brian Avery, William Brooke, and Norman Fell; The Birds (1963), Starring Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, and Veronica Cartwright, Ethel Griffies, Charles McGraw, Richard Deacon, and Elizabeth Wilson; Days of Wine and Roses (1962), starring Jack Lemmon, Lee Remick, Charles Bickford, Jack Klugman, Alan Hewitt, Maxine Stuart, Debbie Megowan, and Jack Albertson; Planet of the Apes (1968), starring Charlton Heston, Kim Hunter, Roddy McDowell, Maurice Evans, Linda Harrison, James Whitmore, and James Daly; The Happy Ending (1969), starring Jean Simmons, John Forsyth, Shirley Jones, Lloyd Bridges, Teresa Wright, Bobby Darin, Kathy Fields, Dick Shawn, Nanette Fabray, and Tina Louise; The Children's Hour (1961), starring Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine, James Garner, Miriam Hopkins, Faye Bainter, Karen Balkin, Veronica Cartwright, and Hope Summers; In The Heat Of the Night (1967), starring Rod Steiger, Sidney Poitier, Lee Grant, Warren Oats, Beah Richards, William Schallert, and Larry Gates; --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

The Best of HackedePicciotto (Live in Napoli) is Alexander Hacke and Danielle De Pictiotto's newest release showcasing live interpretations of music from across their career. The album includes reinterpretations of tracks from all of their studio albums: Keepsakes (2023), a tender exploration of friendship and loss, The Silver Threshold (2021), their defiant reaction to the pandemic, Perseverantia (2016), which dealt with the artists nomadic lifestyle, Menetekel (2017), which embodies their collective despair at the state of the world, and powerful energy of The Current (2020), recorded by the Irish Sea. For over 20 years Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten) and artist, musician and filmmaker Danielle de Picciotto (co-founder of Love Parade) have been developing and evolving a symbiotic working practise together, with a deep intuition of the kind that has distinguished a rare number of creative and romantic partnerships – think of the writers Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne, the artists Lee Miller and Man Ray or heroes of independent filmmaking, Gena Rowlands and John Cassavetes – each partnership underlined by a creative equality that allowed both artists freedom to explore and expand.    https://www.Instagrm.com/hackedepicciotto https://www.Facebook.com/hackepicciotto  https://www.hackedepicciotto.bandcamp.com  Website: https://www.hackedepicciotto.de   Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris is sponsored by Shure Microphones.

We had to do a scary one! Ty conned Rach into subjecting herself to the front stage and backstage horror that is Rosemary's Baby. We get into the Rosemary curse on this film, Mia Farrow's personal horror in her love life, and Ty's scary obsession with John Cassavetes. The biggest reveal of all is that Rach actually enjoyed the scary movies Ty picked this year. So much so that she has promised to watch scary movies all year long. Send your submissions to her personally. The scarier the better.

The Dames interrogate one of the more controversial of the great horror films: 1968's Rosemary's Baby, starring Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes, and directed by Roman Polanski. A complicated, multi-faceted film that's not always easy to talk about, both for its content and the feelings surrounding its director, there's no doubt that we have a lot to say about this one...including whether it might, maybe, be feminist (or not). We'll be back next week with Episode 300, talking The Babadook with a special guest!

No, it's not Archie Bunker's daughter (Wait, does anyone born after 1983 get that reference?). Rather she's a mob moll with a little boy to protect. It's the pod's first John Cassavetes movie.
