In this special episode of our show we had the immense pleasure to sit down for a conversation with Jon Raymond, who is a novelist short fiction writer and a screenwriter. He is also a lifelong collaborator with Kelly Reichardt, with whom he co-wrote six movies (including three out of four we talked about this month). We talk about his process and his inspirations as a writer and a prominent champion of the American Pacific North West. We also attempt to untangle the complex relationship between a writer and a director and how it works in the context of independent cinema, his opinion on some of the characters we talked about this month, and we also try to find out if there is in fact some wisdom behind the title of Meek's Cutoff.

The modern internet is powered by recommendation algorithms. They're everywhere from Facebook to YouTube, from search engines to shopping websites. These systems track your online consumption and use that data to suggest the next piece of content for you to absorb. Their goal is to keep users on a platform by presenting them with things they'll spend more time engaging with. Trouble is, those link chains can lead to some weird places, occasionally taking users down dark internet rabbit holes or showing harmful content. Lawmakers and researchers have criticized recommendation systems before, but these methods are under renewed scrutiny now that Google and Twitter are going before the US Supreme Court to defend their algorithmic practices. This week on Gadget Lab, we talk with Jonathan Stray, a senior scientist at the Berkeley Center for Human-Compatible AI who studies recommendation systems online. We discuss how recommendation algorithms work, how they're studied, and how they can be both abused and restrained. Show Notes: Read all about Section 230. Read Jonathan Stray and Gillian Hadfield's story on WIRED about their engagement research. Read more about the two cases before the US Supreme Court. Recommendations: Jonathan recommends the book The Way Out by Peter Coleman. Mike recommends the novel Denial by Jon Raymond. Lauren recommends Matt Reynolds' WIRED story about how you've been thinking about food all wrong, and also getting a bag to make nut milk. Jonathan Stray can be found on Twitter @jonathanstray.

This week, host Jason Jefferies is joined by Oregon Book Award winner and Emmy nominee Jon Raymond, who discusses his new book Denial, which is published by our friends at Simon and Schuster.  Topics of conversation include Portland's Literary Arts, the climate crisis, whether every revolution is destined to become a bureaucracy, the future of newspapers, beef and factory farming, bookstores in 2052, Mark Twain, Diego Rivera, and much more.  Copies of Denial can be purchased here with FREE SHIPPING for members of Explore More+.  

Dystopian fiction has been something of a trend for the last decade. But two new books by Portland authors put an almost humorous spin on the genre. Jon Raymond's “Denial” is set in a future that looks very much like our own, but after a global reckoning on the dangers of climate change and the fossil fuel industry. His characters stumble through the problems of an ordinary life - illness, love, - while grappling with the question of who is to blame for the problems of the world we have all created. In Mat Johnson's “Invisible Things,” a spaceship exploring Jupiter discovers a suburban American city populated by 17th century settlers and later abductees. The residents live in a starkly divided world, where half the population denies basic reality. John Notarianni talks to Raymond and Johnson about their books.

Jon Raymond and Dao Strom discuss multidisciplinary writing and artistry with Oregon Poet Laureate Anis Mojgani at Pickathon music festival.

My guest this week is Jon Raymond, novelist and screenwriter, whose most recent book, Denial, imagines a world in 2052 in which climate justice has been delivered via Nuremberg-style trials, climate catastrophe has been avoided, and climate change denial has nevertheless continued. Jon and I discuss Denial, as well as Night Moves, the film he wrote about a group of activists planning a bombing attack on a hydroelectic dam. We also talk about https://lithub.com/speculative-journeys-sci-fi-for-people-who-dont-really-like-sci-fi/ (science fiction), organic farming, the successes and excesses of antifa, and the aftermath of the 2020 protests in the Pacific Northwest.

In this episode, Marisa and Aric *figuratively* hit the road to celebrate the road film genre, a staple in cinema that is known for bringing new perspectives and unseen horizons.Along the way, they'll take a look at six iconic road films: THELMA & LOUISE (1991), the iconic story of two women on the run to Mexico that is, quite simply, badass, LA STRADA (1954), Federico Fellini's harsh, yet whimsical journey of a young woman and a strongman performer traveling through Italy, DEAD MAN (1995), Jim Jarmusch's western of a naive man that quickly becomes trapped in the hell of the American frontier, NEBRASKA (2013), the "dryer than yeast" comedy of an older father and son in search of a sweepstakes prize, WENDY AND LUCY (2008), a darkly ironic road film about a young girl, her dog, and a small Oregon town that are literally going nowhere, and THE PASSENGER (1975), Michelangelo Antonioni's cross-country road film of a journalist who steals the identity of a dead man, leading to dire consequences.Notes for a Theory of the Road Movie - Walter Salles, New York Times ArticlePlease consider supporting this show through our Patreon!Keep up with us on Instagram and Twitter: @filmchatterpod.Check out the films mentioned in this episode on our Letterboxd.Thanks for tuning in!Powered and distributed by Simplecast

Jon Raymond is an American writer. He is best known for writing the novels The Half-Life and Rain Dragon, and for writing the short stories and screenplays for the films Old Joy and Wendy and Lucy.

Host Christopher Kubasik interviews screenwriters Jon Raymond & Kelly Reichardt (director) about making their film, First Cow, a Western fable about the balance between friendship and capitalism set in 1820s Northwest.

This week on the Talking to Ghosts podcast we talk about the 2020 Kelly Reichardt film First Cow (A24, written by previously featured guest Jon Raymond). We were supposed to see this film during the Portland International Film Festival, but it was shut down before we had the chance. Wes went to a rally in Portland to protest racial injustice and police violence and Michael watched some calming Vlogs. In this episode we recommend: Ganser’s fantastic new album Just Look At That Sky; Voting! (and checking your voter registration); Joop Joop Creative; Buying stamps to support the US Post Office; and Beyond Press. Talking to Ghosts is produced and recorded by Michael Kurt and Wes Mueller. For more episodes please visit our Official Website.

This week on the show we have author and screenwriter Jon Raymond. Originally scheduled to meet up with Jon as part of the Portland International Film Festival, we caught up instead from our homes to talk his new film First Cow (Directed by Kelly Reichardt, A24), radical adaptations of novels into scripts, and Portland Art History in the 1990s. First Cow is on hold at the moment, but you can check out some of the other Kelly Reichardt collaboration films: Night Moves, Meek’s Cutoff, and Wendy & Lucy. “At Home” is a version of the podcast that is being recorded and released during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please forgive our audio quality and the awkward conversation, I think you understand why it had to be this way. Talking to Ghosts is produced and recorded by Michael Kurt and Wes Mueller. Our fantastic 5-year cover art was made by Alicia Gaines (of the band Ganser, who have a new album coming!). The best place to find us is on our Official Website.

We listen back to a conversation with Portland author and screenwriter Jon Raymond about his 2017 book, “Freebird.” The novel is a family drama set in Los Angeles.

"Don't be a nuisance. We don't need that." Kelly Reichardt has been called a minimalist film director, and if you're comparing her to someone like Michael Bay or Steven Spielberg or the Hughes brothers, that certainly seems to be the case, at least based on her 2008 film Wendy and Lucy. This film doesn't have a lot of pizazz or a large cinematic sense. What it does have, though, is a character study in which we dig deeply into our protagonist during a difficult few days in her life. In that aspect, it isn't minimal at all. Perhaps calling it incredibly focused would be a better way to describe it. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off a new series on director Kelly Reichardt with her 2008 lost dog film Wendy and Lucy. We talk about this ‘minimalist' type of filmmaking and how it fits into the larger context of filmed stories that we know and love. We talk about how the story came about and was developed by Reichardt and writer Jon Raymond. We discuss Michelle Williams and her incredible (and incredibly internal) performance as Wendy, and how inadvertently she's in all three of Reichardt's films that we're discussing in this series. We also chat about other actors in the film like Will Patton, Will Oldham, Wally Dalton and John Robinson and what they bring to the table. We look at the cinematography by Sam Levy and chat about what it brings to this story, notably the ‘naturalistic' grainy and dark scenes. And we touch on the sound design and how Reichardt chose to use train sounds instead of score throughout the film. It's a touching film yet one we oddly aren't sure we'd return to anytime soon, but certainly is one well worth talking about. Check out this movie then tune in to the show!

This looks darkly hilarious, if one can laugh at mental instability. Add in Elizabeth Olsen and O'Shea Jackson Jr., you've got what looks to be an awesome movie." Pete's Trailer: Black Butterfly — "A remake of Papillon Noir starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Antonio Banderas. It's a Misery trailer that ducks subtlety and goes completely haywire too soon for my tastes, but I'm a sucker for ‘I'm a writer…' stories so I'll give this one a shot."

State of Wonder will melt your winter blahs down to marshmallowy molten goodness with provocative dance projects, hot new fiction, and music for transformative times (with twirling rifles!).Tahni Holt’s Sensational Disorientation - 1:21When it comes to women, there are two things American culture doesn’t look so kindly on: age and weight. Portland choreographer Tahni Holt’s newest performance delights in both. “Sensation/Disorientation” runs at Reed College’s Diver Studio Theatre as part of White Bird’s Uncaged Series Jan. 18–22.Studio Session with Typhoon’s Kyle Morton - 7:19Kyle Morton is known for the soaring, lyrical songs he writes for his band, Typhoon. Now Morton has put out a solo record called “What Will Destroy You” that gives breath to his somber and contemplative style (not to mention incredible wit). David Byrne Taps Portlander Kelly Pratt For Star-Studded Color Guard Collaboration- 14:56Kelly Pratt, who has worked with everyone from Beirut to Cold Play, first collaborated with David Byrne when Byrne asked him to arrange horns and lead the band for Byrne's "Love This Giant" album and tour with St. Vincent. Then came an even more unusual request. Byrne had become fascinated with the distinctly American phenomenon of color guard, which involves dances using flags, sabers and wooden rifles generally set to marching band music. Byrne invited an incredible roster of musicians, including Nelly Furtado, former Beastie Boy Ad-Rock, How to Dress Well, tUnE-yArDs, and Nico Muhly with Ira Glass, to compose new songs and play them live at Brooklyn's Barclay Center, soundtracking the nation's best winter guard teams. Pratt did all the horn and string arrangements. They filmed it all for a documentary-concert film hybrid called "Contemporary Color" that is playing during the Northwest Film Center’s Reel Music Film Fest on Jan. 21, and will open nationally in March.New Novel from Jon Raymond: Freebird - 21:21The erudite warmth of writer Jon Raymond’s work has spanned screenplays, arts criticism, and fiction. His new novel, “Freebird,” focuses on three generations of a family struggling with the horrors of war, teenage angst, and living with the legacy of a father who survived the Holocaust. Desert Rain: Meeting the Living Building Challenge - 28:51Can a house be more than a place to live? Can it be a demonstration of our highest aspirations? Our columnist-in-residence, Randy Gragg, introduces us to Tom Elliott and Barbara Scott of Bend. Their house, Desert Rain, was made to meet certification of the Living Building Challenge using the highest standards for energy efficiency, power generation, water systems management, and more. Pander Brothers Re-Imagine “XXX” as “The Dissident” - 36:44Jacob and Arnold Pander’s kinetic comic books panels are full of exciting contrasts, with doses of film noir and pop art sensibility. Last year they Kickstarted a project to revive one of their most famous comics titles: a tech thriller about an American journalist on the lam in a futuristic version of Amsterdam, after civil society in the U.S. goes into freefall. The story was published by Dark Horse Comics as “XXX,” and the Pander Brothers are re-releasing it online as “The Dissident” — with an extended prequel.Two Choreographers Make Traditional Dance Contemporary - 43:05Two remarkable choreographers come together next weekend to show new contemporary dance works. They’re from radically different traditions, but each embraces a marriage of traditional and modern forms. Subashini Ganesan’s “Bliss And Other Easy Things” and Oluyinka Akinjiola’s “IBUKUN: The Celebration,” running together as "Ignite" Jan. 20–22, were developed through Ganesan’s New Expressive Works Residency, housed in the space she runs at Studio2.
