A24 on the Rocks enters the millennial time machine and rolls it back to 2004, when Hot Topic "Vote for Pedro" shirts were the new fad, and all the middle schoolers were hitting each other in the face with steaks and yelling "NAPOLEON, GIVE ME SOME OF YOUR TOTS!" You guessed it, today's A24 vibe discussion is millennial cult classic Napoleon Dynamite starring Jon Heder and Jon Gries. Cole unfortunately broke his coccyx dirt-biking at the dunes, so Josh from Keemig's IG Movie Reviews (https://www.instagram.com/keemig.movie.reviews/) joins the program. How has Napoleon Dynamite aged, and are the dark fan theories about the film true?

"I suspect that knowing God's will is not the real challenge for us. Knowing God's will is the easy part. Doing it is the hard part. As living sacrifices we keep crawling off the altar when the flames get hot. No, I don't know the will of God for you, but I do know that whatever it is, it will require courage instead of playing it safe; it will require the narrow path, not the smooth road; it will require sacrifice over selfishness. It will require letting go, a giving of yourself, and a giving up on what might be expected from others, the world, or even yourself. And that is the struggle. In the words of Nikos Kazantzakis: 'It is a struggle between the flesh and the spirit; rebellion and resistance; reconciliation and submission.'"

The Political Scene will be back next week. In the meantime, enjoy a recent episode from The New Yorker's Critics at Large podcast. Artists owe a great debt to ancient Rome. Over the years, it's provided a backdrop for countless films and novels, each of which has put forward its own vision of the Empire and what it stood for. The hosts Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the latest entry in that canon, Ridley Scott's “Gladiator II,” which has drawn massive audiences and made hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. The hosts also consider other texts that use the same setting, from the religious epic “Ben-Hur” to Sondheim's farcical swords-and-sandals parody, “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.” Recently, figures from across the political spectrum have leapt to lay claim to antiquity, even as new translations have underscored how little we really understand about these civilizations. “Make ancient Rome strange again. Take away the analogies,” Schwartz says. “Maybe that's the appeal of the classics: to try to keep returning and understanding, even as we can't help holding them up as a mirror.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Gladiator II” (2024)“I, Claudius” (1976)“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” (1966)“The Last Temptation of Christ” (1988)“Monty Python's Life of Brian” (1979)“Cleopatra” (1963)“Spartacus” (1960)“Ben-Hur” (1959)“Gladiator” (2000)“The End of History and the Last Man,” by Francis Fukuyama“I, Claudius,” by Robert Graves“I Hate to Say This, But Men Deserve Better Than Gladiator II,” by Alison Willmore (Vulture)“On Creating a Usable Past,” by Van Wyck Brook (The Dial)Emily Wilson's translations of the Odyssey and the IliadNew episodes drop every Thursday.

As the widow of the legendary British filmmaker Michael Powell, she has also played a key role in the restoration of classic Powell and Pressburger films including The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus and A Matter Of Life And Death. Thelma Schoonmaker has won three Academy Awards, more than any other film editor. Thelma tells John Wilson how enrolling on a six week film making course as a young graduate in New York led to her meeting and helping Martin Scorsese edit a short film he was making. He then asked her to edit his 1967 feature film debut, Who's That Knocking at My Door and their partnership began in earnest. She recalls how she and Scorsese were part of the editing team on Michael Wadleigh's music festival documentary, Woodstock for which she received her first an Oscar nomination for Best Film Editing - the first documentary ever to be nominated in that category. Thelma reveals the process of working with Scorsese in the cutting room and how, through him, she met her late husband Michael Powell, whose films with Emeric Pressburger, both she and Scorsese had so admired from childhood.Producer: Edwina PitmanArchive and music used: The Red Shoes, Powell & Pressburger, 1948 Who's That Knocking at My Door, Martin Scorsese, 1967 I Can't Explain, The Who, Live at Woodstock, 1969 See Me.

“You're remembered for the rules you break.” So says Ben Affleck in Air, the 2023 sports marketing drama that took its own advice. Written by our guest today, Alex Convery, Air shouldn't have been the captivating cinematic slam-dunk it turned out to be. At least, not on paper. A drama about the creation of the Nike Air Jordan trainer? That sounds like a film that's gonna play out largely in grey, air conditioned boardrooms. It sounds like a film that's gonna have limited suspense, because we all know that Air Jordan became this huge sports brand. It also sounds perhaps like it could be a nakedly capitalistic celebration of a product – Hollywood scraping the barrel in a time of endless IP and emphasis on “brand recognition."But Air turned out to be a film about Nike. At least, not entirely. It's a drama about our connection to “things” and the intelligent people that foster those connections – who recognise how, for better or worse, in a capitalist world, products like an Air Jordan trainer can become these symbols of the lives we want to lead and the people we aspire to be. Directed by Affleck from Alex's spec script, it starred Matt Damon as Sonny Vaccaro and Viola Davis as Deloris Jordan, mother to Michael Jordan – the greatest basketball player of all time. Alex had the idea for the movie after watching Netflix documentary series The Last Dance and – well, we'll leave the rest for him to explain. It was a total pleasure chatting with Alex about what Air says about 1980s America, and about stories that use an un-obvious perspective to frame their subject – Jordan through the eyes of a marketing exec, like Jesus through the eyes of the devil in Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ. We also get into how Air fits into a new Hollywood trend of movies based on products: Barbie, Blackberry, Tetris and so on. Alex had great insights on it all.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.  Follow us on Twitter and Instagram, or email us on thescriptapartpodcast@gmail.com.Support for this episode comes from ScreenCraft, Final Draft and WeScreenplay.To get ad-free episodes and exclusive content, join us on Patreon.Support the Show.
