“I Kill with my c*nt. You can write about it in Midnight Magazine.” Released in 1982, Liquid Sky is a sexual sci fi thriller produced and directed by Slava Tsukerman. 40 years later and this movie is taking on things mainstream film is too afraid to touch. Women's bodies, gender, self expression, the other, all under a blaring 80s synth soundtrack. ---- Madeleine Olnek is a writer, director and producer, known for her 2018 film “Wild Nights With Emily” starring Molly Shannon - famous for being the first ever queer portrayal of Emily Dickinson - in 2018! Madeleine got her start as a playwright, she wrote and directed over 24 original plays in downtown NYC. She has received dozens of awards and fellowships including the Jerome Foundation. She is a co-author of “The Practical Handbook for The Actor” which is required reading at many universities.
Today we are talking about the 2018 Madeleine Olnek film starring Molly Shannon, Susan Ziegler, Amy Seimentz and Brett Gelman. This award winning film is a “dramatization of the little known side of writer Emily Dickinson's life in particular, her relationship with her sister-in-law, Susan.” (Source: IMDB.com) In an attempt to get her poetry published an acquaintance to Emily erased Susan's name. More recently using modern technology has been utilized to discover the erasers, this truth has come to light. Listen in as we explore this film and it's implications. Some of our favorite parts of this movie are: The similarities to Drunk History Breaking the fourth wall The costumes (hoop skirts), sets and props The truth about Emily Dickinson So many smoochies The two-shots of young Emily and Susan walking Special thanks to our editor Geoff Vrijmoet for this episode and Melissa Villagrana for helping out with our social media posts.

Negli ultimi anni Emily Dickinson è stata molto rappresentata al cinema e in tv, si pensi ai due film Wild Nights with Emily e A quiet passion, e alla serie tv Dickinson. Ognuna di queste rappresentazioni fa perno su aspetti diversi – la passione per un'altra donna, la spiritualità o l'irriverenza – e tutte indicano una, più o meno marcata, non convenzionalità. Non più o non solo poeta cupa e chiusa al mondo, ma allegra e solare, passionale e volitiva. Ne abbiamo parlato con Madeleine Olnek, regista del bellissimo “Wild Nights with Emily”, e con Sara De Simone, ideatrice del progetto artistico Eccentriche. Senza dimenticare le poesie, lette magistralmente da Donatella Allegro. Bibliografia:Federica Fabbiani, "Sguardi che contano. Il cinema al tempo della visibilità lesbica".

Filmmaker Madeleine Olnek sits down with Cameron to discuss her new movie Wild Nights With Emily (out in theaters!), supporting queer movies, and her next move. This episode is sponsored by OMGyes (www.OMGyes.com/queery) and Podcoin app (code: QUEERY).
Madeleine Olnek is a New York City based playwright and filmmaker. She began her career with award-winning and widely screened comedy shorts. Countertransference (2009) and Hold Up (2006) were official selections of Sundance, while Make Room For Phyllis (2007) premiered at Sarasota. Olnek was also awarded best female short film director at Sundance in 2009 by LA’s Women In Film organization. Her debut feature, Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same, told the story of three lesbian space aliens who come to Earth, and one of them falls in love with an earthling. It premiered at Sundance 2011 and is now translated into eleven languages. Her second feature, The Foxy Merkins, is a kind of buddy-comedy homage about two lesbian prostitutes. She is one of the authors of The Practical Handbook for The Actor (with a foreword by David Mamet), a widely used acting textbook. And now she’s back with her third feature, Wild Nights with Emily, a perhaps more truthful yet comic telling of the life of Emily Dickinson, starring Molly Shannon as the eponymous poet. Madeleine was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship for the completion of the film, so it is a BIG DEAL. The movie that Madeleine has chosen to discuss is one that she calls a "masterpiece." That would be David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. Madeleine likens the film to The Bible in that there are many interpretations that are applicable across generations. She discusses how she is personally connected to the film and how she felt that it truly mirrored her own life. Madeleine even dons David Lynch "our great poet of filmmaking" and explains why this film (and Inland Empire) are his greatest poems. She also discusses why she cast Molly Shannon in her newest film, Wild Nights with Emily. And how most literary adaptations do not properly portray the true words and feelings of a piece of literature. She ends the conversation with explaining why artists have the moral obligation to put humor in their work, and how making a straight drama is not a creative choice. You can check out Wild Night with Emily in theaters now. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch Mulholland Drive. With April Wolfe and Madeleine Olnek.

Amy Seimetz started out writing, directing, and acting in short films and made her feature debut in a pair of films, Black Dragon Canyon and the indie cult hit Wristcutters: A Love Story. She appeared in films such as Gabi on the Roof in July, Tiny Furniture, You're Next, and The Myth of the American Sleepover before directing her own feature debut, Sun Don't Shine in 2012. Amy went on to co-create and executive produce the critically acclaimed Starz series The Girlfriend Experience. In 2018, Amy directed two episodes of the acclaimed FX series Atlanta and subsequently signed a first look television production development deal with the network. But yes, she continued acting throughout that time as well, and you’ve seen her in Upstream Color, Alien: Covenant, The Killing, Stranger Things, Wild Nights with Emily, and Pet Sematary. But the movie that Amy chose to discuss has nothing to do with any of that! She's chosen The Peanut Butter Solution, a Canadian children's movie from the eighties that most people thought they dreamed up. April and Amy dissect the crazy plot and how something this unconventional could be made for children. Amy discusses working on her debut Sun Don't Shine, collaborating with Hiro Murai and Donald Glover on Atlanta, and being directed by Madeleine Olnek on Wild Nights with Emily. Plus, they ponder the lessons on creative freedom that can be learned from children's films and how it's sometimes best to not think logically. You can check out Pet Sematary and Wild Nights with Emily in theaters now. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch The Peanut Butter Solution. With April Wolfe and Amy Seimetz.

Writer and director Madeleine Olnek first considered that Emily Dickinson might have been a human being with desires, muses, and ambitions when she read a 1998 New York Times investigation of the famed poet's original drafts. The result was the play "Wild Nights With Emily", now an inventive literary comedy starring Molly Shannon, Amy Seimetz and Brett Gelman. Press play for a discussion of Olnek's new movie, her meeting Molly Shannon in college, and battling the painted-over legacies of historical women. "Wild Nights With Emily" is out now in select cities. This podcast host whole-heartedly recommends it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theplaylist/message

The queer erasure of historical figures is an ongoing problem, but some people are working to make the true stories known. Whether you’ve read her work or not, you may have heard that Emily Dickinson was a reclusive spinster who didn’t want to publish her poems while she was alive. Her letters prove otherwise, yet her queer truth is still buried behind bad biographies and literal erasures. Filmmaker Madeleine Olnek came by to dyke out about Emily Dickinson’s lesbian life and promote her film that brings it to life. Out April 12 in select markets, you MUST see Wild Nights With Emily starring Molly Shannon. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll lookup every important woman who has ever been deemed a spinster and take a second look at their life. -Come to Dyking Out at Stonewall in NYC on Monday, April 29.
