"His stories were good because he imagined them intensely, so intensely that he came to believe them." So wrote Patricia Highsmith in her seminal literary thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley in 1955. You might also characterise the work of our guest today, the talented Mr. Steven Zaillian, this way. The worlds and characters of his films and TV shows are imagined in such rich detail and complexity that you can absolutely imagine him believing them to be real as he crafts them on the page. In fact, that level of detail and depth has been his calling card for over thirty decades in Hollywood now. From 1990's Awakenings and 1993's Schindler's List, which won Steven an Oscar, all the way to films like Gangs of New York, American Gangster, Moneyball, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and The Irishman, there's a thrillingly convincing quality about whatever story he's telling – oftentimes, his characters are people you can imagine pulling up a barstool next to you and telling you a tale you'll never forget.This month, he's up for an Emmy for his work with Ripley – a Netflix adaptation of Highsmith's novel, that Steven acted as showrunner for, writing and directing every episode. The series is a hypnotising ten hours in the company of a conman, Tom Ripley, who's hired by a wealthy businessman to convince his son to return home from a life of leisure abroad on the Italian coast. But the more Tom – played here by Andrew Scott – ensconces himself in the lives of Dickie Greenleaf, played by Johnny Flynn, and Dakota Fanning as his partner, Marge Sherwood, the more his lies and his lust for what Dickie has mutates into something murderous. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Steven tells us about the relevance of fraudster stories in a time of Trump and other public deceivers. We get into the writing tricks and tips that make you root for the morally thorny characters he often writes. And the rationale behind every change from both the novel and the Matt Damon-starring 1999 adaptation of Ripley is uncovered too, as we delve into the slightly different ending to this version of the tale and the meaning of Italian artist Caravaggio's presence throughout this story.  Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

*This episode originally aired on July 2, 2022. British writer Robert Macfarlane grew up loving mountains. A keen hiker, he says mountains are in his DNA – Macfarlane's father was a mountaineer and his grandfather oversaw some of the early expeditions and the first summit of Mount Everest in the 1950s.   Macfarlane’s own passion for the extremes of the mountains and the wilds of the outdoors fostered yet another interest: writing. In his first book “Mountains of the Mind,” Macfarlane explored why he fell in love with mountains and sought answers as to why so many climbers are willing to die for love of rock and ice. Delve deeper into life, philosophy, and what makes us human by joining the Life Examined discussion group on Facebook. Macfarlane is a fellow at Emmanuel College at Cambridge University in the UK. He has written numerous books focused on nature and landscape, including “Landmarks” and “The Old Ways,” which led to an exploration of the subterranean world, the topic of his latest book “Underland: A Deep Time Journey.”  “The trodden paths are the beginning of the underworld if you like because they are land hollowed by feet, by time and by wheels, so there were lots of things pointing me down,” Macfarlane says. While the upper world is the place of the gods and awe, he says, the subterranean world is an unseen place — one for burial and hiding. Macfarlane also shares his passion for language and metaphor, explaining that the “underworld” is where “matter meets metaphor” — and that negative words like “down,” “dark,” or “depressed” are deeply ingrained into our language.  Jonathan Bastian talks with Robert Macfarlane about his connection to the landscape and about his exploration and interest in what lies beneath our feet. As a writer, Macfarlane shares his love for language and metaphor and is particularly interested in “gathering words which seemed much more vibrant, reciprocal, and dynamic.” For Macfarlane, the rediscovery of language furthers a connection to the natural world, and Macfarlane says there’s even a map highlighting the regional terms for “creek” across North America.  So how has language and the Tale of Gilgamesh impacted his latest project?  Can music and song breathe life into ancient stories - in a way that writing can’t?   Macfarlane speaks about his interest in music and how it connects to his love of nature and storytelling. He explains how he connected during the pandemic with actor and singer/songwriter Johnny Flynn, and how Epic of Gilgamesh, became the “nourishment that drove the writing of 11 songs” that now appear on the album “Lost in The Cedar Wood.” Music, Macfarlane muses, is “the purest form of magic to me. Writing is labor and trial work and concentration, perspiration and locked rooms. No one would ever want to watch a writer write, right? It's paint drying, it's grass growing, but musicians. ...are magicians weaving a golden thread that they pluck from the air.”

A few months ago, Krista sat down separately with Andrew Scott and Dakota Fanning to talk about their roles as Tom Ripley and Marge Sherwood in Steven Zaillian's Ripley. Based on Patricia Highsmith's bestselling “Tom Ripley” novels, the limited series follows Tom – a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York – who is hired by a wealthy man to travel to Italy in order to convince his vagabond son to return home. His acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder.  Pulled from a recent panel, this episode dives deeper into the series by exploring the experiences of Scott, Fanning, and Johnny Flynn (who plays Dickie Greenleaf). To check out a full version of this conversation, visit Netflix's official FYSEE TV website. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.

RIPLEY, which premiered on Netflix in April 2024, is a neo-noir psychological thriller television series created, written and directed by Steven Zaillian, based on Patricia Highsmith's 1955 crime novel THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY. The series starred Andrew Scott, Johnny Flynn and Dakota Fanning. In late 1950s New York, Tom Ripley, a down-at-the-heels con man, is hired by a wealthy man to convince his prodigal son to return home from Italy. But Tom's introduction to Dickie Greenleaf's comfortable and leisurely life abroad turns out to be "the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder. The composer for the series score is Jeff Russo, the renowned award-winning composer, songwriter, guitarist, vocalist, and music producer whose versatile talent has left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry, from captivating TV series to compelling film scores and beyond. Jason Drury had the pleasure of speaking with Jeff via Zoom at his Los Angeles home in April 2024. During the interview, they discussed his extensive work on RIPLEY as well as his career to date, with a focus on a number of his hit shows from his extensive resume. Throughout the show, we will hear more music from RIPLEY as well as from other shows with music by Jeff Russo including FARGO, LEGION, STAR TREK: DISCOVERY and STAR TREK: PICARD. Enjoy!

PopaHALLics #123 "Pop Tarts & Pop Sweets"What can we say about Jerry Seinfeld's new movie about Pop Tarts? How about: You'd be better off taking a bite of the Spanish Inquisition ("The Familiar"), teenage murder ("Under the Bridge"), a murderous con man ("Ripley"), the Ku Klux Klan ("A Fever in the Heartland"), even an apocalyptic wasteland ("Fallout").Streaming:"Unfrosted," Netflix. Seinfeld's directorial debut is a relentlessly silly film about the creation of Pop Tarts. Seinfeld, Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, and many other comedians star in this tale of the early '60s race between the Kellogg's and Post companies to create a square gooey-filled pastry."Fallout," Amazon Prime. Most of this drama based on the popular video game franchise takes place hundreds of years after a nuclear war. A perky vault dweller goes to the desolate surface in search of her abducted father; a squire becomes a "knight" in a motorized suit of armor; and a sentinent zombie who dresses and acts like a Clint Eastwood spaghetti Western creates havoc wherever he goes. Imaginative and violent, with an odd, goofy sense of humor."Ripley," Netflix. In this limited series, Andrew Scott (the hot priest in "Fleabag," Moriarty in "Sherlock") plays the latest incarnation of Tom Ripley, Patricia Highsmith's scheming con man. Dakota Fanning and Johnny Flynn also star in this neo-noir psychological thriller."Under the Bridge," Hulu. Eight teenagers are accused of murdering a 14-year-old girl in this "American true-crime" miniseries. Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone plays an investigator while Riley Keough plays Rebecca Godfrey, who wrote the book that inspired the miniseries."Byzantium," for rental or various channels with ads. Gemma Atherton and Saiorse Ronan ("Brooklyn") play two nomadic female vampires surviving on their wiles in this visually stunning, atmospheric 2013 film. Director Neil Jordan ("The Crying Game") reinvigorated vampire movies with his version of Anne Rice's "Interview with a Vampire."Books:"A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them," by Timothy Egan. This true story explores the second coming of the Klan in the 1920s and their leader, a grifter named D.C. Stephenson, who had so much power in Indiana at one time that he said "I am the law." He was undone by a trial that featured the dying testimony of a young woman he had abducted, raped and tortured."The Familiar," by Leigh Bardugo. When a disgraced secretary tries to regain the favor of Spain's king, a scullion with a gift for "little miracles" becomes involved in an effort to defeat the hated English. Unfortunately, the Spanish Inquisition does not look kindly on her use of magic.

The overrated Wes Anderson, a one-way ticket to Palookaville, things said at your eulogy, a couple bad jokes, a couple great and horrific French movies, San Jose surprises me for once, Johnny Flynn is pretty damn cool, earning your ovation, a completely amazing new French movie about people turning into creatures, artificial highs don't cut it in the end, the downfall of Hunter S. Thompson, the eventual and final fade out, and a storytelling song. Stuff mentioned: Bottle Rocket (1996), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Palookaville (1995), Alice (1976-1985), Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974), The Beast (2023), Henry James The Beast in the Jungle (1903), Martin McDonagh Hangmen (2015), Beast (2017), Martin McDonagh The Lieutenant of Inishmore (2001), Poolman (2023), Humanity (1999), Li'l Quinquin (2014), Twentynine Palms (2003), The Animal Kingdom (2023), Storytelling (2001), Kids (1995), and Belle and Sebastian "Storytelling" (2002).

El estafador Tom Ripley acepta un trabajo en Italia que lo lleva a una vida de lujos y riquezas, pero también de engaños y fraudes. Esta nueva adaptación de la novela de Patricia Highsmith es una serie escrita y dirigida por Steven Zaillian, que aprovecha sus imágenes en blanco y negro y música incidental para transportarnos a los años 60. Andrew Scott da vida al personaje titular, con destacadas participaciones de Dakota Fanning, Johnny Flynn y un gran elenco. Los ocho capítulos ya están disponibles en Netflix.

On this episode, I spoke to Emmy Award-winning and Grammy-nominated composer Jeff Russo about his work on the limited series Ripley.  Ripley stars Andrew Scott, Johnny Flynn and Dakota Fanning.  Russo's upcoming projects include Nicholas Tomnay's What You Wish For; and FX's series Alien. His music can be heard on shows such as FX's Fargo, for which he received an Emmy in 2017 and three additional nominations; Peacock's Mrs. Davis; HBO Max's Love and Death; Amazon Prime's The Consultant; Showtime Networks' The Man Who Fell to Earth; CBS All Access's Star Trek: Discovery, and Clarice; Paramount +'s Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds; Netflix's The Umbrella Academy; FX's Legion and Snowfall; and more. His film credits include Chiwetel Ejiofor's Rob Peace, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival; Bartlett Sher's Oslo, which he co-scored with Zoë Keating and for which he received an Emmy nomination; Paul Dektor's American Dreamer; Sabrina Doyle's Lorelei; Noah Hawley's Lucy in the Sky; Peter Berg's action-thriller film, Mile 22; and Jon Avnet's Three Christs. 

Ripley is an eight-episode limited series adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's Ripley novels. It is the first serialized screen version of those stories following five feature film adaptations, including the 1999 film The Talented Mr. Ripley, starring Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jude Law. The Netflix series stars Adam Scott, Dakota Fanning, and Johnny Flynn. It is created, written, and directed by Oscar-winning screenwriter Steven Zaillian (who also created The Night Of) and shot — in black and white — by Oscar-winning cinematographer Robert Elswit. And: Scrabble Together is a new, forthcoming version of the classic board game that's coming to Europe from Mattel.

On this week's show, the panel is first joined by Slate business and culture writer Nitish Pahwa to discuss Monkey Man, Dev Patel's dazzling but muddled directorial debut. The ultra-violent action flick stars Patel as Kid, a young man who works his way into a secret brothel for the super rich, hell-bent on finding the police chief who murdered his mother and exacting his revenge. It's clearly a political statement of a film, rife with references to real-world controversies and corrupt political, religious, and pedagogical practices (all of which Nitish covers in his piece for Slate, “Monkey Man Has a Bold New Vision”). Then, the three jump into Ripley, a new eight-part Netflix series based on Patricia Highsmith's master novel, The Talented Mr. Ripley, starring 47-year-old Andrew “Hot Priest” Scott as the titular seductive psychopath. Directed by Steven Zaillian (The Night Of, Schindler's List, All the King's Men) and with cinematography by Robert Elswith (Boogie Nights, There Will Be Blood, Good Night, and Good Luck), the series is shot in spectacular black-and-white and co-stars Dakota Fanning as Marge Sherwood and Johnny Flynn as Dickie Greenleaf. Finally, Julia Louis-Dreyfus (of Veep, Saturday Night Live, and Seinfeld fame, obviously) has a podcast, Wiser Than Me, which just entered its second season. On it, she interviews iconic older women like Jane Fonda, Carol Burnett, Bonnie Raitt, and Sally Field about the wisdom they've accrued and asks the question: “Well, how should I live?” While the show doesn't fully avoid the pitfalls of the celebrity interview, secrets and things emerge within the course of a conversation and the framework itself gets to the very core of human existence.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel answers a fittingly existential question from listener Gretel: “Wondering how you, high achievers all, balance ambition with contentment. Do you consider yourselves competitive or is your drive innate? I vacillate between pushing myself harder, striving to achieve more, and being grateful for what I have and where I am. Is contentment a noble endgame in your opinions?” Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Outro music: “Bollywood Star” by Jhukane Bada. Endorsements: Dana: Andrew Scott's performance as Hamlet in 2017.

Hello! I'm currently in the middle of producing a new series of The Outdoors Fix podcast. So in the meantime, I've got a special episode for you that I think you'll enjoy! Some of you will remember an episode I recorded with Matthew Bannister back in 2020 - he's the founder of the multi-award winning Folk on Foot podcast where he goes walking with leading folk musicians in beautiful spots that have inspired their music. I really loved chatting with Matthew and hearing all about how and why he started Folk on Foot, and I've devoured each episode over the years. It's an absolutely stunning podcast, and complete escapism, even if you're like me and don't know a huge amount about folk music. So I'm thrilled that he's let me share with you one of my favourite episodes of Folk on Foot which I think you'll love. It's Matthew's walk and conversation with the author Raynor Winn, who's bestselling book, The Salt Path, tells the story of her journey along the 630-mile South West Coast Path with her husband Moth, after they'd become homeless and he'd been diagnosed with a terminal neurodegenerative disease. Raynor has also been collaborating with the Gigspanner Big Band to create a show which marries her words about the South West and traditional music from the area. The Outdoors Fix has always been about sharing conversations and inspiration so we can all fit more of the outdoors into our lives - so I hope you enjoy Matthew's wonderful chat and walk with Raynor and you take away something from it too. There are dozens of other episodes of Folk on Foot available, recorded all over the country, from Shetland to Port Isaac, and with musicians like Eliza Carthy, Johnny Flynn and Karine Polwart. One of my favourite episodes is with Sam Lee where he sings among nightingales in Sussex - I'd definitely recommend listening to that one. Just search for Folk on Foot wherever you get your podcasts, or find them @folkonfoot on social media. If you'd like to listen to my conversation with Matthew on The Outdoors Fix, where he tells me all about his outdoors life and why he set up Folk on Foot, it's the episode from July 2020. And stay tuned for a brand new series of The Outdoors Fix podcast in the next few weeks! Until then, enjoy your adventures outside - we all know it's the best place there is.

If you're like us, you probably have seen a clip run across your social media feeds showing the time a TV show surprised and elderly man finding out the rest of the studio audience around him were the now grown children he helped save during the onset of WWII. That man was Nicholas Winton and the new film One Life is about the struggle Winton went through to save close to 1,000 children from being sent to concentration camps. Actor/musician Johnny Flynn plays Winton in his younger years while he is trying to work out how to immigrate these children into England before it is too late. Johnny joined us to talk about taking on the role, as well as his turn as David Bowie in the 2020 release, Stardust. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/overduerentals/support

A two-time former Mayor of Ennis claims an erosion of democracy has contributed to his decision not to seek re-election. Cllr Johnny Flynn will bring the curtain down on his twenty-year career in local politics in June after having first being elected to the Town Council in 2004. The Tulla Road resident topped the polls in Ennis in 2009 and played a major role in the county's bid to host Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in 2016, while serving as Mayor the previous year. Johnny Flynn has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that while his decision is primarily based on personal factors of health and family, he believes the creation of the Ennis 2040 DAC has undermined the influence of elected representatives.

To mark the release of the Warner Brothers motion picture 'One Life' (starring Anthony Hopkins, Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Flynn), Alex Maws sits down with the film's director, James Hawes, to discuss the story of Sir Nicholas Winton and how he went about bringing it to the big screen.About the film:ONE LIFE tells the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky' Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued 669 children from the Nazis. Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realised it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed? Fifty years later, it's 1988 and Nicky lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn't able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more. It's not until a live BBC television show, ‘That's Life', surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children – now adults – that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades.  

Johnny Flynn is a polymath – as comfortable as an actor on stage and screen as he is writing and performing songs. You have perhaps seen him as Mr Knightley in the film Emma or as Ian Fleming in Operation Mincemeat. In his latest film, One Life, he stars alongside Anthony Hopkins, as the young Nicholas Winton, who helped Jewish children flee from the Nazis in what became known as the Kindertransport. He's currently starring as Richard Burton in the play The Motive and the Cue, the story of how Burton and Sir John Gielgud clashed as they staged Hamlet on Broadway in 1964. Johnny has also released four albums with his band Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit. He composed the theme song for the acclaimed TV series Detectorists, and more recently he's collaborated with the nature writer Robert MacFarlane on two folk albums: Lost in the Cedarwood and The Moon Also Rises. His musical choices include Paul Robeson, Sondheim and Bizet.

Johnny Flynn and Robert Macfarlane are Matthew Bannister's guests on this month's Official Folk Albums Chart Show from Folk on Foot. They talk about the inspiration behind their new album “The Moon Also Rises” in a conversation that ranges across ancient burial chambers, a love song for Cosmo Sheldrake's wedding, composing on the South Downs and wassailing. There's also music from Thea Gilmore, Catrin Finch and Aoife Ni Bhriain, Bryony Griffith and Alice Jones, Show of Hands and Kerry Andrew/You Are Wolf.  --- We rely entirely on support from our listeners to keep this show on the road.

Rosamund Pike joins us this week (well, several weeks ago in reality, as the interview took place before the strike - but you get the point) to talk The Wheel Of Time Season 2, and Johnny Flynn jumps aboard to discuss The Lover. Meanwhile, Love & Death sees Elizabeth Olsen and Jesse Plemons embark upon the most well-planned affair in history (with mixed results) in Love & Death, and we go full banana crackers with Apple's The Changeling. Plus Boyd and Kay once again attempt to induct James into the ways of reality TV by ranking the best reality shows of all time (and outlining how a Pilot TV Race Across The World would play out). It didn't work, but you have to admire their persistence.

Johnny Flynn - actor, poet, musician - he can do pretty much anything. On stage and screen, he's played Albert Einstein, Richard Burton and David Bowie - and in the studio he's recorded albums of classic folk as well as the title track for The Detectorists. Johnny took a break from playing a political broadcaster in his new show The Lovers to tell us about the musicians who have inspired him throughout his life.

Finding poetry in the landscape is how Erin Spencer portrays her work as she connects with nature. Born in Northern California, the second of seven children, Erin moved to Maryland as a toddler. She showed an early interest in writing, dancing and archeology and would later study archeology and history at Brigham Young University in Utah. Her father, Boyd, was a chemistry professor, as well as a pianist and composer, and her mother Janine, a teacher who encouraged all her children to be creative. In her 20's, Erin spent 18 months in The Netherlands as a church missionary, where she took photographs, which provided her with the inspiration for her early paintings. After returning to the US, Erin married her husband, Peter, and in 2008 the couple moved to Rhode Island where they have raised three children. Faith and family are the most important aspects of Erin's life — she reads her scriptures daily and spends time each day at the easel. Her inspiration for her landscapes comes from California to New England via Europe and she captures her scenes in plein air or in the studio. “I think what's so exciting about the art, what I produce but also art that I get to see from others, not just paintings but anything that people create, it's an exciting thing to see.” Erin also spends time studying art and teaching workshops. Her paintings are included in private collections across the United States and around the world including Canada, Europe, Israel, Australia, and Japan. She says: “My personal process begins with observation and study of the natural world in all its splendid variation. Whether working from life or from sketches back in my studio, my paintings become translations of what I perceive. The beauty of this is that I will always have work to do, poems to create from my personal impressions of the world.”Erin's favorite female artists:Maria JosenhansMary TonkinLaura RiosBethann Moran-HandzlikSarah ManolescueJennifer MosesErin's playlist:“It varies. Sometimes it's a podcast (often an art podcast or This American Life). I often listen to music. Currently I'm playing Johnny Flynn, Gregory Alan Isakov, Kishi Bashi, and Dar Williams. It changes, but music is a huge part of my practice.”https://www.erinspencerart.com/Instagram: @erinspencerartHost: Chris Stafford@theaartpodcastEmail: hollowellstudios@gmail.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4769409/advertisement
