Just because this episode is about “last things” doesn't mean it's the last episode. In fact, it could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship - or of 100 more episodes. And just like Casablanca, Guys of a Certain Age is destined to be a classic. In this episode, Jay quizzes Art and Robbie to test their knowledge on famous last lines of movies, stretching back to near 100 years of movie making. Then they turned the discussion to what was important about movie closings compared to book openings, whether or not end-credit scenes upset the balance, and why Art knew all the answers. In this week's Geeks, Jay found the perfect cologne for the food court crowd, Art says “see you later, T.Wai-tator,” and Robbie orders a new set of Blu-Rays to watch on his way to Universal Studios Hollywood. Listen to this one and remember: it's the stuff dreams are made of.
Get your to-be-read lists ready because today's episode is packed full of recommended titles. In today's show, Anne is hosting Hunter, a fan of literary fiction who lives in Philadelphia with his husband and their dog. Anne and Hunter talk about his years-long project to read National Book Award longlisted titles, which also leads into conversation about both that award and some of other big book awards. Plus, Hunter shares his frequent habit of rereading books, especially books he doesn't like on the first pass. Hunter loves books that are messy and murky and don't necessarily offer clear answers. At this moment in his reading life, he's looking for writing that is striking on a sentence level, perhaps a little bit weird, and unlike the majority of what's coming out right now. Anne has ideas for Hunter and together they talk about a whole bunch of books that may be just right for you right now, too. Find that long list of titles mentioned today on our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/445. Fall means new merch, and we have a special collection including, for the first time ever, the option to buy a printed Fall Book Preview booklet. Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club members and members of our What Should I Read Next Patreon community, we've shared a link to buy just the printed booklet since your Fall Book Preview is included in your membership.

Dans l'épisode d'aujourd'hui nous avons eu l'immense privilège d'accueillir Sébastien Montabonel, cofondateur de TheIsland.io, une plateforme innovante qui jette des ponts entre l'art contemporain traditionnel et le monde du Web3 et des NFT. Il revient notamment sur ce premier drop lancé avec l'artiste Stefan Brüggemann intulé "Headlines and Last Lines in the Movies (Dynamic)"qui utilise une intelligence artificielle pour générer des compositions à partir de titres de journaux et de phrase de fins de certains films cultes: Basic Instinct, Terminator, Rockyy etc…Au cours de cette entrevue, Sébastien est également revenu sur son impressionnant parcours dans le monde de l'art contemporain et de son travail auprès de certains musées ou Etats émergents…Evoqués dans l'interview:1. TheIsland.io vise à fusionner le monde de l'art contemporain traditionnel avec les opportunités offertes par le Web3 et les NFT. Sébastien insiste sur l'importance de parler le même langage que les références du milieu de l'art contemporain pour faciliter cette transition.2. Présentation de "Headlines and Last Lines in the Movies (Dynamic)" la première collaboration avec l'artiste Stefan Brüggemann qui montre comment des artistes établis peuvent explorer le médium Web3 à l'aide de cette plateforme.Ce projet est une série de 60 œuvres d'art numériques en NFT dynamiques et qui peuvent être achetées sous forme d'œuvres d'art numériques et être également réclamées en physique par leurs acheteurs3. En commissionnant des artistes établis pour travailler sur le médium Web3, TheIsland agit comme une sorte de studio artistique en facilitant la co-création, en gérant les aspects techniques et en faisant le lien entre les exigences artistiques et technologiques.4. Sébastien met en lumière la nécessité d'expliquer les codes et les concepts du Web3 aux artistes et aux institution du milieu de l'art contemporain “traditionnel”, en utilisant le même langage qu'eux.5. TheIsland encourage la participation des collectionneurs en leur permettant de "geler" l'œuvre à un instant particulier qu'ils choisiront. Cette fonctionnalité ajoute une dimension interactive et personnelle à chaque pièce.6. Sébastien insiste enfin sur l'importance de considérer les NFT comme des œuvres d'art à part entière, indépendamment du support sur lequel elles sont créées. Il souligne que l'essence d'une œuvre réside dans le concept et l'expérience qu'elle offre.En conclusion, TheIsland.io incarne une vision audacieuse qui va au-delà des frontières de l'art contemporain traditionnel. En agissant comme un facilitateur entre les mondes du Web3 et de l'art établi, le projet ouvre de nouvelles perspectives pour les artistes, les collectionneurs et les grandes institutions muséales à travers la planète.

There are some films that you just can't forget, that have those last lines that stay with you forever. Join the Blerdsassins Next Door in the OTHERhood 6p PST/ 8p CST/ 9p EST when we'll share the most memorable last lines in film!
If our favorite Last Lines of movies didn't get you all excited, then maybe First Lines will. I loved discussing this with Annie - she was a creative writing major in college and told me that the first line of any creative thing was always the most difficult for her. But think about it - if that first line is silly, doesn't connect to what you think might be going on, or just leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth, the rest of the film could very well be ruined for you. Or not. You tell us! And did you know now that our 50th episode is around the corner? I'm beyond excited about this and am trying to think about the best way to celebrate. Do y'all have any ideas? If you do - and, I mean, you HAVE to, because you love the show - then please share those! Shoot us an email at hello@thetopfivepodcast.com
The idea behind this show was somewhat inspired by that scene in WHEN HARRY MET SALLY when Harry calls Sally to tell her that CASABLANCA is on TV and they watch the last few minutes "together" while on the phone. Harry's comment about the "best last line of a movie ever," inspired Annie and me to rally around our own favorite last lines of movies. And - as usual - they are not what you think they are going to be! SPOILER ALERT - the last line of CASABLANCA didn't make either of our lists. God bless Annie for reminding me about a couple of great Christian Slater films from the 90's that I really loved and really need to watch again...soon. What topics do you want to see us cover in this show? Email us at hello@thetopfivepodcast.com and let us know what sounds fun.

Ian McMillan enjoys last lines in poetry, song, memoir, and novels - and his guests introduce him to different varieties of endings: the trap door, the rug-pull, the fade and many more. Stuart Maconie, writer and broadcaster, is Ian's guide to the bathetic and sometimes dramatic ends to be found in popular song - and explores an ending created by the Cornish poet Charles Causley. Caroline Bird reads a sonnet from her poetry collection 'The Air Year' and reveals the draft that helped her reach the poem and its ending, and fellow poet Sinéad Morrissey shares a work-in-progress inspired by endings: 'Seeing Red', her memoir of growing up in a Communist family in Northern Ireland. Our 'Something' New poem (marking 100 years of the BBC) is by Menna Elfyn.

"Hyper-specific, pointedly particular, rarified to the point of being incomprehensible"...these words from co-host Chris define our dear friend and two-time guest Paul Kaup's love of a very narrow band of films. For years, co-host Jason has tried to get Paul to explain exactly what they are and aren't. They're not movies you would go to the movies to see, they're not movies you'd even rent back in the Blockbuster days. They're movies that don't require much mental effort at the end of a long day. But they're also not unintentionally funny or so bad they're good. They're so very nearly "good" yet still a little short of the goal. Our guest Paul Kaup has chosen 'Time Trap' as representative of this genre, and we have a lot of fun with this science-fiction thriller time-travel flick. podcast notes: Chris' intro (00:00), Paul's movies (2:00), Paul explains his genre definition (3:30), Andrew Wilson and the type of actors that do and don't appear in these movies (13:00), Taylor Lautner (14:00), Time Trap trailer (15:30), time travel, lasers, and space travel (19:00), 'Annihilation', Natalie Portman and Alex Garland (21:00), tankinis, jean shorts, and no helmets: in other words: CAVING RESCUE MISSION!

Brett Goldstein is one of the UK's best comics. Whether that be in stand up, acting or screenwriting for films he gets off his arse to make happen himself (Superbob). He's a bloody wealth of talent, annoyingly handsome, and also has the sort of soul you wish you had.In part two of what has shaped up to be the best episode to date Brett tackles the mammoth task of listing his Top 5 Last Lines in Films. Brett has done what we ask all our guests to do, and thats make it personal and to mean something. And he really has here. Its a wonderful episode where you get to really get a feel for what makes this excellent comic tick.But the first 10 mins are completely crass. So whilst Brett may have picked some absolute corkers, Chris and Stu try their best to bring it down to their toilet humour level. Also. Chris says the dumbest thing to date.

E Bronte read by Classic Poetry Aloud: http://www.classicpoetryaloud.com/ Giving voice to the poetry of the past. --------------------------------------------------- Last Lines by Emily Bronte (1818 – 1848) No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world’s storm-troubled sphere: I see Heaven’s glories shine, And faith shines equal, arming me from fear. O God within my breast, Almighty, ever-present Deity! Life—that in me has rest, As I—undying Life—have power in Thee! Vain are the thousand creeds That move men’s hearts: unutterably vain; Worthless as wither’d weeds, Or idlest froth amid the boundless main, To waken doubt in one Holding so fast by Thine infinity; So surely anchor’d on The steadfast rock of immortality. With wide-embracing love Thy Spirit animates eternal years, Pervades and broods above, Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates, and rears. Though earth and man were gone, And suns and universes cease to be, And Thou were left alone, Every existence would exist in Thee. There is not room for Death, Nor atom that his might could render void: Thou—Thou art Being and Breath, And what Thou art may never be destroyed.
