Both Episode 75 and 76 (this one) have been called "allegory" episodes, but in the interest of transparency we should note that in both cases they're specifically anti-Capitalist allegories. Last time around it was Westerns, and this week we're looking at Gangster movies. And we begin with The Long Good Friday (1981), directed by John Mackenzie and starring Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren. Hoskins is a man who learns that respectability doesn't necessarily mean legitimacy. In Part 2, we'll be reviewing Thief, from 1980. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wordsandmovies/support
In Part 2 of our episode, The Claim (2000) was directed by Michael Winterbottom and stars Peter Mullan, Sarah Polley, Wes Bentley and Milla Jovovich. This one has a similar theme to McCabe, though the romance side is pushed a little more forward. But there are many striking similarities between the two films, as different as they are. COMING ATTRACTIONS: In Reel 76, we look at another pair of allegorical films. We begin with Thief (1981), directed by Michael Mann, and move on to The Long Good Friday (1982), directed by John Mackenzie.

Open Seas is a Scottish charity that focusses on protecting our marine environment and the things that live in it. A few weeks ago, Mark joined them in Skye where they were carrying out seabed surveys. While the weather didn't play ball and they didn't get out on their planned boat trip, the team did manage to show him the kind of footage they record and why it's important in influencing the kinds of protection marine areas can get.Rachel is in Pitlochry where the Firebrand Theatre Company along with the Festival Theatre are staging a play all about naturalist and poet Nan Shepherd: Naked and Unashamed.

Mark visits the Scottish Flag Trust at Athelstaneford in East Lothian to find out more.The story of modern whaling in the Southern Hemisphere is a controversial one. Many British companies played a key role in the industry, and they had a largely Scottish workforce.

We chat live to Helen Balfour from the Whalers' Memory Bank to find out more about the project.A couple of weeks ago the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world, The Waverley, made its first ever visit to Ullapool.

Mark went to visit it in Sligachan and hear Collie and Mackenzie's story.
John MacKenzie chats with Dr. Denis Muller from the Centre for Advancing Journalism and Senior Fellow & Subject Coordinator for Journalism (Law & Ethics) at The University of Melbourne, about the ethical considerations following the appointment of a new interim CEO at Cairns Regional Council.

The CRC threatened to silence the local newspaper, The Cairns Post, from publishing a story about the new appointment.
John MacKenzie chats with Cr. Martin Bella, Mackay Regional Council, about comments made by a former judge, Clive Wall, who 'slammed inaction over spiralling youth crime'.

John MacKenzie chats with Nick Dametto, KAP State Member for Hinchinbrook, about a petition known as "Castle Law", which is a proposed bill to protect victims of home invasions when defending themselves and their families. Mr. Dametto also commented on the recent change in the law that bans the sale of knives to minors, explaining how is wrong to "focus too much on the retailer, and not the perpetrator".
Though the Pink Pills couldn't stand up to the wild advertising claims that the product was a cure-all, the pills were actually potentially medically beneficial to some people with a certain -- common -- condition; in theory. Maybe. Hey, we're not doctors.

Can a two-hour film accomplish what it takes several seasons of a TV show to do? We're talking to you, Sopranos. Join Mike and Dan for a conversation about John Mackenzie's The Long Good Friday (1980), a film that they call the "spiritual cousin" of The Sopranos and The Friends of Eddie Coyle. They talk about how the film avoids the intuitive trap of offering a day in the life of its protagonist and instead gives us a day of absolute crisis and the ways in which Harold is like many people having a bad day at the office. Deadwood, The Shield, and even James Joyce's Ulysses all come into play. So get out of that abattoir and give it a listen! Dan compares the film to the classic crime novel The Friends of Eddie Coyle, which you can find here. You might also enjoy Paul Elliott's Studying the British Crime Film, available here.
