"Before Sunset," directed by Richard Linklater, is a remarkable film that beautifully captures the complexities of love, time, and the human experience. As the second installment in Linklater's "Before" trilogy, this film goes beyond the typical romantic narrative, offering a profound exploration of connection and the passage of time.

What the world needs now is love... sweet international love! For the first time on this show, Mark welcomes a guest from another country: it's Bulgarian artist, movie nerd, and hunk Todor Iliev (@ilievillustration)! They go on a little virtual stroll through mid-90s Vienna to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Richard Linklater's memorable romance Before Sunrise, which kickstarted a beautiful trilogy starring the dynamic duo Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. "Don't forget: you are stardust!" Plus, Todor explains how he makes his great designs, and highly recommends traveling to another country solo.
Thirty years ago, a film hit multiplexes that helped redefine love onscreen for moviegoers. So much so, in fact, that the history of the modern romantic drama might arguably be best separated into two distinct eras: before Before Sunrise, Richard Linklater's enchanting cult smash stroll through moonlit Vienna, and after. Today on Script Apart, Richard's co-writer Kim Krazin reflects on three decades of hearing from strangers about how this simple tale – in which two strangers on a train make a spontaneous decision to get off and wander the streets till dawn together – touched them deeply. The film starred Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as Jesse and Celine – one an American tourist, recovering from a botched trip to Madrid to see his now-ex girlfriend, the other a French student, heading back to Paris to continue her studies after visiting her grandmother. Kim and Richard had worked together before prior to Before Sunrise. Kim appeared as an actor in 1990's Slacker and 1993's Dazed and Confused. This time, however, they were co-writers, sequestered together for an intense eleven-day writing sprint, hard at work on a boy-meets-girl story with a difference.Before Sunrise was to be naturalistic. There would be no melodrama – no conflict for the sake of it. Just conversation, as two people brought together by chance, who live a world apart, forge a connection against the ultimate ticking clock: at sunrise, Jesse has a plane to catch. As their attraction deepens, we're left to wonder: will they see each other again after their expires, when dawn arrives? As it happens, they would; two sequels, Before Sunset and Before Midnight, later followed, the first of which Kim has a “story by” credit on. But in 1995, as the credits rolled, audiences were famously left in the dark. The film's brilliant cliffhanger ending – in which the couple decide not to exchange any contact information and instead meet at the same Vienna train station in six months' time – was being written and rewritten right up until 3am on the last night of filming. You may have heard about how Linklater was inspired by a woman who he met in a Philadelphia toy shop and ended up wandering around the city with, talking deep into the night (this woman, tragically, died in a motorcycle accident before the film's release). What you might not be aware of is Kim's chance encounter at a Bob Dylan concert in London, one day on a train trip through England, that gave her some of the emotional kindling for Jesse and Celine's tale. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, you'll discover what parts of the movie wouldn't fly today because of the modern technology that connects us brilliantly, but also robs us of the “romance of chance,” pervading every frame in Before Sunrise. We get into early plans to set the film not in Vienna but in Texas, and everything unlocked by the decision to set the movie abroad. And finally we get into whether or not Jesse in the film invents the concept of social media a good decade or so ahead of time. Hear us out on that one.

The Toyota Aqua has held onto its title for the third year in a row. The hatchback is New Zealand's most stolen car, making up 8% of all stolen vehicle claims in 2024. New figures released by AMI today show the company received almost 12,000 vehicle claims last year, including those related to attempted vehicle theft. Driven Deputy Editor David Linklater told Ryan Bridge that it's likely down to numbers. He says that they're a hugely popular used import, so there's tens of thousands of them on the road. Linklater says they're quite anonymous, very familiar cars that aren't really noticed on the street. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Richard Linklater is a hit man, but not in the assassin sense of the word. No, the hits he trades in are of the movie variety – stylish cult classics that vary in genre and form, but always manage to ignite something powerful in viewers. It's been that way for three and a half decades now: among his hits, dating back to 1990, are Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight, Boyhood, School of Rock, A Scanner Darkly, Slacker, Waking Life, Everybody Wants Some, Fast Food Nation… the list goes on. No wonder the Texan is one of the most respected names in modern American cinema – a force both prolific and patient, as his multiple movies shot across numerous decades prove. 2014 coming-of-age drama Boyhood was filmed across twelve years, with Merrily We Roll Along – a Paul Mescal-starring Sondheim adaptation, to be shot across twenty years – among his current projects.Earlier this year, he released Hit Man – a romantic comedy of sorts, with a hint of thriller thrown in for good measure, about a bashful college professor with a unique side hustle. Gary, played by the film's co-writer Glen Powell, has a recurring gig with the New Orleans police force, pretending to be an contract killer. He wears a wire to meet with people seeking to order a hit on their spouses, their work colleagues, their parents and so on. It's a gig that's going smoothly for Gary, until he meets Madison, played by Adria Arjona – a woman trying to escape an abusive husband, who Gary begins to fall for. What follows is Linklater in full-blown crowd-pleasing mode.In the conversation you're about to hear, we discuss what it was about this true-ish story, adapted from a newspaper article by journalist Skip Hollandsworth, that spoke to Richard. We talk about the baseball injury that put him on a path to filmmaking (and how it might have led to the unstoppable pace with which he makes movies). And we break down every detail of Hit Man, one of the movies of 2024, in spoiler-filled detail.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

The brilliant filmmaker Richard Linklater (Boyhood) and the uber talented Glen Powell (Any One But You) joins us to chat about their brilliant comedy movie Hit Man! Richard Linklater and Glen Powell discuss how the movie came about. Why they wrote it together on spec and how they made it with Giles Alderson & Dom Lenoir. From his debut feature "It's Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books" – a film he made with almost no budget, Richard Linklater kick started his career. Shot on Super 8, and literally drove around the country screening himself – He made the cult classic "Dazed and Confused," the romantic trilogy "Before Sunrise," "Before Sunset," and "Before Midnight," the animated rotoscope experiments of "Waking Life" and "A Scanner Darkly," and the groundbreaking, 12-years-in-the-making "Boyhood," Linklater has consistently defied expectations and carved his own path with a signature style that's both intimate and epic. From his breakout role in "Scream Queens" to his scene-stealing performance as Chad Radwell in "Everybody Wants Some!!" – Richard Linklater's ode to college life in the 80s – Glen Powell has been steadily building an impressive resume. He's charmed audiences in rom-coms like "Set It Up," and "Anyone But You" showcased his dramatic chops in the true-life war epic "Devotion," and, of course, soared to new heights as the cocky but ultimately heroic Hangman in "Top Gun: Maverick and very recently blew us away in the brilliant 'Twisters'.

Filmmaker Richard Linklater's movies span blockbusters, such as School of Rock, cerebral indie classics like Boyhood, and a hard-to-define The Before Trilogy. His most recent film, Hit Man, is a thriller, but it picks up on many themes that Linklater has explored before, such as identity and masculinity. Today, he reflects on the film in conversation with Lilah. -------Our film critic Danny Leigh's review of Hit Man is here: https://on.ft.com/4fGIDidDanny also spoke with Richard Linklater in 2018 about his portrayal of masculinity in the movie Last Flag Flying: https://on.ft.com/3Va6v5L-------The show is ending in early January.

Jeff SmithTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Jeff Smith. Jeff is an icon in the local south Texas music scene. I caught up with Jeff in San Antonio, at his multi-use arts facility called The Corn Pound. In this episode, we get to know Jeff, and how he got into music. From his brother's involvement with The Krayolas, to his friendship with filmmaker Richard Linklater, we go everywhere in this episode. Jeff tells me about: Flagship Records, the Jett Bass Studio, High Voltage Music Program, Tex Pop In Exile Music Archive, and SausTex Records... all housed at The Corn Pound. We discuss some of the musical acts Jeff has worked with at SausTex including Pinata Protest, and DiNOLA. Then we get into how Jeff came to be part of Richard Linklater's Woodshock documentary short film, and why Jeff's scenes were cut from Linklater's early film Slacker. Jeff and I chat about how streaming services like Spotify have essentially gutted the already small income streams for the smaller, independent artists. Plus we talk about a recent collaboration between SausTex Records and Cacophony Clan Records on a super cool album to support some charities. Naturally Jeff and I talk about his band Hickoids, which has been around for decades, and he even lets me play one of their more recent songs! If you are even in or around San Antonio, you MUST check out The Corn Pound... and tell 'em you heard about them on Fascination Street Podcast.Special thanks to Peter Illing at Cacophony Clan Records for putting this together.

Perhaps the most patient man in Hollywood, Richard Linklater talks to Rebecca about the 23-year journey of making Hitman. “I'm not afraid to sit with something and just wait until the time is right,” says Linklater, who has also filmed two more movies that both took more than a decade to make.Share your thoughts on Little Gold Men.

Some film shoots (like the one for Apocalypse Now) seem to last 12 years, but here's a movie with a production schedule that was DELIBERATELY that long. Although gimmick aside, Boyhood is Richard Linklater's lauded attempt to show the slow growth of a fractured family, with the focus on Ellar Coltrane going from 6 to 18. Linklater's daughter Lorelei plays Coltrane's older sister and their divorced parents are Ethan Hawke & Patricia Arquette. The adults are terrific---Arquette won an Oscar for her work as the put-upon mom who keeps finding romance with bad men---but the kids just aren't the actors that she and Hawke are. In any case, it's fascinating to see this arc in a family's life and the (mostly white) people they meet along the way.

SUB TO THE PPM PATREON TO ACCESS ALL OF "THE KILLER DRILLER (PT. I & II)"—HELP US REACH OUR MOMENT OF TRUTH GOAL BEFORE SEPT. 1ST: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping This concluding ep of the Engleman contract killing case study is where our investigation really picks up, reaching some climactic revelations, such as: A quite unexpected & rarely covered New Age mystical undercurrent to the case, including the Engleman family's abiding interest in esoterica (not to mention Glennon's quasi Manson-esque astral projection prison ministry). We learn even more about his mob enforcer aspirations. We uncover the Killer Driller victim Frey's work w/ a St. Louis executive class airplane renovating firm that designed luxury cabins for company planes, including hugely successful corporations & conglomerates like Coca-Cola, GM, Northrop Grumman, Anheuser-Busch, etc. We tease out the sex trafficking angle to the Bullock cold case, discovering that the Killer Driller was not only performing off the books medical work for what appears to have been a high society escort service, possibly w/ St. Louis organized crime or mafia ties, but that he was also married to one of the Guys & Dolls Club's most desired prostitutes, aka his first wife Ruthie. We even find tell of an Epstein-esque “black book” that named the powerful clientele of this prostitution ring, and by extension, can reasonably speculate that said document played a key role in the coverup of the Bullock murder. All in all, peeling back layers to this off the beaten path serial contract killer case in American true crime that most handlings have missed, dimensions to the case study that are even more resonant w/ Programmed to Kill or Eye of the Chickenhawk than I first anticipated. And staying true to the Counterpropaganda miniseries & our growing noided media studies department, we also alight upon a film & a prestige TV series that were both inspired by Glennon Engleman… Namely ‘90s body horror flick The Dentist & FX's Fargo S1. I also deliver some closing remarks as to why I think the Killer Driller goes a long way towards contradicting Linklater's “hit men don't exist” thesis of “Hit Man”. Songs & Clips: | FBI Files - "Serial Killer Dentist" Intro | | FBI Files - "Serial Killer Dentist" scene depicting an interaction b/w Glennon's first wife Ruthie & a SLPD officer while awaiting the identification of Bullock's body | | Vintage KDSK - "Mob violence in St. Louis" | | MACABRE - "Drill Bit Lobotomy" | | Sun Kil Moon - "Richard Ramirez Died Today of Natural Causes" |
Sub to the PPM Patreon to support the show—help us reach our Month of Truth challenge goal of 120 new subs by Sept. 1st: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping Counterpropaganda is a new intermittent series—this is the opening salvo. We're christening it w/ a feature of films depicting contract killers. Our impetus is the anti-hitman thesis of Linklater's new screwball Netflix noir ironically titled "Hit Man", a piece of subtle albeit messy copaganda that masquerades as lighthearted psychological thriller packed w/ meditations on identity, but which is mostly a sexy romp glorifying entrapment stings, sexing-up confidential informants, & trying to deconstruct the existence of hit men (all things Klonny is decidedly not about). The movie also possesses a mercenary streak its writers Richard & leading man Glen Powell might have thought would serve as an indictment of us & trickstery subversion, but I think it gets lost in its own sauce & genre dalliances. So yr neighborly noid is here to unpack why I disagree w/ the film's framing of (supposedly nonexistent) hitmen & law enforcement moreover, which spills into multiple parts as we dive into a number of IRL "retail" contract killer case studies to pick at the film's seams, resulting in one becoming a full-on, deep history of a little known serial contract killer named Glennon Engleman aka the Killer Driller, a sus dentist who moonlighted as a murderer-for-hire, mastermind of insurance schemes, & Black Widow keeper—and we discover that these serial contract murders, which are a little off the beaten true crime path, cohere w/ McGowan's PTK framework or more recent works like "Eye of the Chickenhawk" to a surprising degree. That investigative research arrives in Pt. II. In this ep, we discuss: The Trump ear nicking assassination attempt (foreshadowing future Counterprop I'd reckon); We cram in a litany of the noir & contract killing films & TV that Klonny's been watching or thinking about in preparation for this, including - Hit Man, The Killer, Kill List, Le Samouraï, Sicario, The Day of the Jackal, The Parallax View, JFK, Rampart, The Shield,... etc. We conduct a perfunctory SUS CHECK on Linklater, which is primarily made up of examining his role in furthering Alex Jones's platform—the Bill Cooper, Ron Paul, & Branch Davidians-connected, fellow Austinian conspi-radio broadcaster & parapolitical research shitcoater. Which means we have to take an obligatory look at JONES'S C I A MOM & POPS, including his sus, implants-designing dentist of a father David Jones, who'd affix microphonic crowns on Agency teeth's (foreshadowing Glennon Engleman in Pt. II, nice) & may have been an operative in his own right... Even provided covert financial support to CA death squads... And Carol Hamman, Alex's Ma, who would help to secure housing accommodations for East German defectors in Texas in the '80s... And then there's Alex's Uncle Bill, who was a heli pilot in 'Nam, conducted Black Ops missions, & likely was involved in the Phoenix Program's extrajudicial assassinations (possibly a Hit Man connection only 2 degrees from Linklater). The other primary focus of our brief SUS CHECK: THE CHURCH OF THE SUBGENIUS The irony cult cum performance art troupe cum zine collective cum PA TV show cum ARG that Richard Linklater is affiliated with, learning how he's has championed said highly conceptual oddball project in the doc JR "Bob" Dobbs & the Church of the SubGenius. We get into how these exemplars of Austin high weirdness had an indelible impact on Linklater's oeuvre, inspiring his first film Slacker via their gnostic/sexual elemental force dubbed SLACK. We explore how this not-quite-fake cult started by Austin outsiders Ivan Stengs & Philo Drummond, which preaches a sexual & recreational gospel that is also rooted in a voracious syncretizing of basically every conspiracy theory known to man, might just have become a second Scientology if its founders had been a little more zealous.

He has been heralded as the next big movie star, so we thought we would jump into the pool with Glen Powell and Anyone But You (2023) and Hit Man (2023). We saw glimpses of stardom of in Top Gun: Maverick, but now is his time to shine and we think he does it well. What do you think?

Critics have been buzzing about Richard Linklater's Hit Man since it premiered at festivals last year. A charming mix of screwball and noir, the film takes inspiration from the real-life story of Gary Johnson, a schoolteacher who for years moonlighted as a pretend hit man in Houston, helping local police entrap folks who would reach out to him to order a killing. Hit Man stars Glen Powell, who also wrote the script with Linklater, and it adds a sexy twist to the true tale. In the movie, Gary falls for one of his targets—a beautiful woman (played by Adria Arjona) who asks him to kill her abusive husband. A game of secrets, twists, and multiple identities follows, as dark and thrilling as it is hilarious. On today's episode, Linklater joins Film Comment Editor Devika Girish to discuss the movie's genesis, how it draws unexpectedly from his activism for criminal justice reform, his fascination with the flexibility of identity, and his underrated talent for writing great twists.
Editor Sandra Adair, ACE and assistant editor Carissa Bronson HIT MAN editor Sandra Adair, ACE is no stranger to working with writer/director Richard Linklater. The two first collaborated on Linklater's debut studio feature, DAZED AND CONFUSED (1993). Over the next thirty years they would go on to make the "Before" trilogy - BEFORE SUNRISE (1995), BEFORE SUNSET (2004), BEFORE MIDNIGHT (2013), as well as the over-a-decade-in-the-making BOYHOOD (2014), for which Sandra would receive an Oscar® nomination for Best Film Editing. Someone else Sandra has had by her side in the cutting for several years is assistant editor Carissa Bronson, who first worked with Sandra on her documentary, THE SECRET LIFE OF LANCE LETSCHER (2017). The somewhat true story of HIT MAN tells the tale of Gary Johnson, who is a professor of psychology and philosophy at the University of New Orleans, while also working undercover with the New Orleans Police Department to assist in undercover sting operations. When Jasper, a fellow cop who portrays fake hitmen to solicit murder-for-hire confessions and payments from “customers,” is suspended, Gary is unwillingly ushered into the role. Gary quickly finds himself to be a natural in garnering solicitations, going so far as to research suspects in advance and tailor a unique persona for each one. Things take a big turn for Gary when he meets Madison, a beautiful woman who tries to contract "Ron" (Gary) to kill her abusive husband.

Glen Powell joins the show to talk about Hit Man, which he co-wrote and co-produced alongside the film's director, Richard Linklater. Powell stars as Gary -- a straight-laced professor who discovers his hidden talent as a fake hit man. But when one of his clients steals his heart, it ignites a powder keg of deception, delight, and mixed-up identities. Powell digs into his long-running creative relationship with Linklater, describes what it was like to develop Hit Man's colorful cast of characters, and reflects on meeting and working with his co-star Adria Arjona. He also explains how he fell in love with movies and musical theatre while growing up in Austin, Texas, breaks down his biggest career milestones, and gives a play-by-play of his Longhorns game day routine.

On this week's show, the hosts begin by jumping into Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a prequel to George Miller's 2015 Fury Road, in which Anya Taylor-Joy stars as Furiosa, an arachnid beauty who's stolen as a child and becomes a wasteland road warrior. She's a “strong, silent type,” typical of the action film genre, but does that trope mean something different with a female protagonist in 2024? The panel discusses. (Read Dana's review of Furiosa!) Then, the three chat Hit Man, Richard Linklater's latest starring Glen Powell as Gary Johnson, a college professor who moonlights as a fake gunman for hire. It's a delightful rom-com tucked within a thriller—a romantic thriller, if you will–that manages to feel like a hangout film despite its ridiculous premise. (Read Dana's review of Hat Man!) Finally, ScarJo or FauxJo? Tech journalist and author of Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech Brian Merchant joins the panel to parse through Silicon's Valley's latest scandal: Scarlett Johansson accusing ChatGPT of stealing her voice for its new interface program.
