Podcasts about Mae West

Mae West shocked audiences and infuriated censors for more than 70 years. She was pop culture's original blonde bombshell sex-symbol comedienne provocateur. But she was more than just a corseted sex pot with an affinity for word play. She was a trailblazer, transgressive, funny, smart, sassy, lively, a genius. And she got away with all of it. IDEAS contributor Lynda Shorten explores the legacy of the eccentric Mae West.Guests in this episode:Linda Hutcheon is a professor emerita of English and comparative literature at The University of Toronto.Ramona Curry is an associate professor emerita of English at The University of Illinois.Pamela Wojeck is a professor of film studies at The University of Notre DameScott C. Miller is a make-up artist and retired undertaker

Yes it's our 250th episode as Jimmy and Phil reflect on it all and Phil makes a big announcement. But wait! They also made each other watch a movie as well to talk about. Jimmy chose Sunset Boulevard (and pointed out the surprising similarity to it and the life of Mae West). And Phil chose the modern noir classic, L.A. Confidential. A little nostalgia, a lot of fun.

It's Friday. My wife's been out of town for a whole week. I spent the quiet time digging into famous quotes — the kind you've heard a thousand times but never sat with. Woody Allen. Yogi Berra. Will Rogers. Thomas Edison. The old voices still hit if you sit with them for a minute. Today, I ran seven of their best lines through Scott Logic. You'll leave with a simple way to show up, move when you're stuck, and stop rehearsing the life you're supposed to be living. Press play. Bring coffee. Featured Story My wife has scales everywhere. Kitchen scales. Bathroom scale. She weighs her food like a chemist measuring compounds. Twice a week, she hands me a perfectly measured bowl of ice cream. Four ounces, maybe five. It's good stuff. This week she's out of town. I found the half-gallon in the freezer and went to work. Night one. Night two. Night three. Somewhere around night three, I gave myself too much and realized exactly why she measures. Now I have a problem. Do I eat the rest and pretend it was never there? Do I buy a replacement and slide it onto the shelf? I'll tell you what I'm going to do. Important Points Your competition is mostly imaginary. Most never started or already quit, so showing up 70% puts you ahead of the pack. A wrong turn can always be fixed. Standing frozen at the intersection is where life actually runs you over for good. Figure out what you do naturally, without anyone pushing you, and you'll find the thing you should be doing for real. Memorable Quotes The competition is mostly imaginary. Half never started, the other half quit. Show up and the math takes care of itself. A wrong turn, you can fix. Standing at the intersection, you get honked at and hit by a truck. Life runs you over. Failure is just data. If you pay attention and collect enough of it, you accidentally become an expert in the room. Scott's Three-Step Approach Show up and pick a direction. Most of your competition never started or already quit, so being there puts you ahead. Keep moving when you stumble. Each mistake is just data that stacks until you accidentally become an expert in the room. Handle the unfinished business tonight. Don't let it fester until morning, or it will wear you out by tomorrow.

Em 2026, quando Marilyn Monroe completaria 100 anos, a Cinemateca francesa apresenta uma exposição que revisita sua carreira, entre 1946 e 1962. Com figurinos, filmes e arquivos raros, a mostra Marilyn Monroe: 100 anos! conta como a atriz enfrentou contratos abusivos, censura e misoginia no auge de Hollywood. Morta em 5 de agosto de 1962, aos 36 anos, Marilyn permanece subestimada como intérprete, embora continue celebrada como mito absoluto da cultura do século 20. Na Cinemateca de Paris, principal instituição de preservação do cinema na França, a exposição “Marilyn Monroe, 100 anos” propõe um reencontro com uma figura tão conhecida quanto sistematicamente mal compreendida. Longe de repetir o culto fetichista que costuma cercar a atriz, a mostra parte de uma pergunta incômoda: que tipo de estrela hollywoodiana Marilyn foi, de fato, entre 1946 e 1962, no auge do sistema de estúdios dos Estados Unidos? “Posso ser inteligente quando isso importa, mas a maioria dos homens não gosta disso.” Dita em 1953 no filme Os Homens Preferem as Loiras, a frase escrita por Anita Loos e interpretada por Marilyn funciona como senha e síntese. Ela aponta para o paradoxo central de sua trajetória: celebrada como imagem absoluta de desejo, Marilyn continuou sendo tratada como intérprete menor, mesmo quando diretores e colegas reconheciam publicamente sua inteligência e disciplina. Alfred Hitchcock, por exemplo, resumiu a visão dominante ao afirmar que ela “carregava o sexo no rosto”. Henry Hathaway, em sentido oposto, enfatizava “a inteligência de uma atriz extraordinária, que trabalha muito e quer sempre fazer melhor”. Entre esses dois polos, erguia‑se uma carreira curta, filmada em Technicolor, promovida em telas panorâmicas e atravessada por contratos leoninos. No espaço expositivo, a exuberância visual dos anos 1950 se impõe. Materiais publicitários, figurinos, fotos assinadas por Eve Arnold, Richard Avedon e Andy Warhol compõem o retrato de uma indústria que fabricava glamour ao mesmo tempo em que restringia brutalmente a autonomia de suas estrelas. A curadora Florence Tissot explica que seu ponto de partida foi “mostrar qual estrela hollywoodiana Marilyn Monroe era, e o que isso significava na prática”. "No começo, eu confesso que fiquei bem insatisfeita, porque a gente se depara com uma quantidade enorme de análises que acabam sempre voltando para a biografia dela, interpretando – ou até exagerando – a leitura da vida pessoal. No fim, dá um pouco a sensação de que a gente fica girando em círculo. Então tem também essa questão: como se posicionar diante de todos esses relatos. E depois, outra dificuldade que eu senti foi conseguir acesso aos arquivos", afirmou. Estrela de marketing antes de ser atriz A exposição começa pelas imagens de uma jovem ainda chamada Norma Jean Baker, fotografada como pin‑up enquanto trabalhava em uma fábrica ligada à indústria aeronáutica durante a Segunda Guerra. O sorriso ingênuo, o enquadramento sugestivo e os objetos de conotação claramente fálica revelam, segundo Tissot, “toda a hipocrisia dos anos 50”, quando puritanismo e erotização coexistiam sem constrangimento. Os Estados Unidos viviam a ascensão da revista Playboy e a divulgação do Relatório Kinsey sobre sexualidade feminina. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, enfrentavam o rigor do Código Hays, um conjunto de regras morais que regulou o que podia ou não aparecer nos filmes produzidos por Hollywood durante mais de três décadas.  Oficialmente chamado de Motion Picture Production Code, ele entrou em vigor em 1930, mas só passou a ser aplicado com rigor a partir de 1934, quando os grandes estúdios concordaram em submeter seus filmes a uma censura prévia.   Leia tambémTemporada excepcional de leilões pode tornar retrato de Marilyn obra mais cara do século 20 Nesse contexto, Marilyn tornou‑se o rosto perfeito de uma sensualidade aceitável, desejável e, paradoxalmente, domesticada. Mas o estereótipo da “loira burra” embutia uma ideia profundamente misógina: a de que beleza, desejo e inteligência não poderiam coexistir em uma mulher. A própria Marilyn denunciou isso em uma rara entrevista à NBC, em 1955, ao afirmar que “as pessoas associam as loiras, verdadeiras ou falsas, à estupidez. Não sei por quê. É uma visão muito limitada”. Ainda assim, esse rótulo estruturou boa parte de seus papéis iniciais. Trabalho, estudo e um talento subestimado Ao contrário da imagem de improviso, Marilyn estudou intensamente, antes mesmo de ingressar no famoso Actor's Studio, em Nova York. "Na verdade, desde o começo ela já fazia aulas, por vontade própria. Estudou canto, dança, interpretação e mímica e pantomima", conta Florence Tissot. "Isso não é muito conhecido, mas é importante lembrar, sobretudo diante dessa imagem de atriz meio inconsequente que se criou em torno dela. Na prática, ela queria ser uma boa atriz – isso era fundamental para ela. Era uma pessoa muito determinada", aponta a curadora. Em filmes como Quando a Cidade Dorme e A Malvada, ambos de 1950, Marilyn aparece pouco, mas críticos como James Naremore identificam ali uma intérprete capaz de condensar medo, raiva, sedução e vulnerabilidade em poucos segundos. “Mesmo com cenas breves, ela empurra os limites dos personagens que lhe eram oferecidos”, observa Tissot. Essa dedicação raramente foi reconhecida. As histórias de bastidores, quase sempre narradas do ponto de vista dos diretores homens, consolidaram a imagem de uma atriz atrasada, indisciplinada e emocionalmente instável. Billy Wilder foi um dos que mais vocalizaram esse discurso, ecoado com especial força na crítica francesa do pós‑guerra. Contratos abusivos e uma batalha desigual Em 1953, no auge do sucesso de Os Homens Preferem as Loiras, Marilyn recebeu um salário significativamente menor que o de Jane Russell, sua parceira de cena. Os contratos de exclusividade de sete anos davam aos estúdios o poder de decidir se e quando uma atriz trabalharia. “Eram contratos abusivos”, afirma Tissot, “e Marilyn foi muito mal remunerada durante grande parte da carreira”. A partir de meados da década, ela passa a renegociar. Luta por salários mais altos, pelo direito de escolher papéis e diretores, e cria sua própria produtora. Conquista vitórias parciais, mas nunca alcança a autonomia de estrelas como Mae West. Mesmo em seu último projeto, Something's Got to Give, Marilyn ganhava menos que colegas homens e menos que Elizabeth Taylor. O preço dessa rebeldia foi alto. Segundo Tissot, a indústria responde com um backlash: a loira ingênua cede lugar à mulher neurótica, problemática, instável. Filmes como A Loira Explosiva ridicularizam justamente sua tentativa de se emancipar. Leia tambémLivro publica confissões e trechos de diários de Marilyn Monroe Entre a transgressão e o castigo A cena da saia branca levantada pelo metrô, em O Pecado Mora ao Lado, sintetiza esse conflito. Filmada em 1954, diante de milhares de curiosos, ela violava simbolicamente o Código Hays e gerou uma das imagens mais reproduzidas da história do cinema. Tissot optou por abrir a exposição não com o vestido da cena, mas com fotos da multidão, sublinhando o caráter espetacular e exibicionista da operação. A imagem eclipsou o próprio filme. “O material promocional da estrela passa a se sobrepor à obra”, observa a curadora. Marilyn era, ao mesmo tempo, instrumento de transgressão e alvo de punição moral. "No fundo, isso mostra toda a complexidade que envolve uma estrela como a Marilyn Monroe. Na França, algo parecido aconteceu com a Brigitte Bardot. É uma década cheia de contradições: ao mesmo tempo em que começa um movimento de emancipação das mulheres, existe um discurso constante que reduz essas figuras à sexualidade. E, no contexto norte-americano, isso se soma a um certo puritanismo. Então fica claro que a imagem da Marilyn Monroe está presa nessa espécie de armadilha", analisa Tissot. Nos anos finais, em filmes como Quanto Mais Quente Melhor e Os Desajustados, a vulnerabilidade passa ao primeiro plano. Sua morte, em 5 de agosto de 1962, aos 36 anos, encerra a carreira e inaugura outra coisa: a administração incessante de seu mito. Um mito sem arquivo A curta carreira e a morte precoce dificultaram o trabalho histórico, segundo a curadora. Os pertences de Marilyn foram leiloados e se dispersaram por coleções privadas. Contratos, cartas e objetos raramente estão acessíveis. “Isso explica por que as lendas continuam tão fortes”, diz Tissot. “Há excesso de discurso, mas pouco acesso aos documentos.” A exposição, ao contextualizar imagens, filmes e discursos, não busca absolver nem vitimizar, e, segundo a curadora, pretende recolocar Marilyn Monroe como sujeito histórico, atriz trabalhadora e figura central para entender como Hollywood fabricou suas estrelas – e como as descartou. A mostra fica em cartaz em Paris até 26 de julho de 2026.

Paul and Chris return to the pod to bring their expertise on classic Hollywood. In 1934, Will Hays, then the president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, began strenuously enforcing the Production Code. This code was a guideline used to determine what films could depict on screen and the behavior of characters. These included drug use, promiscuity, and yes, homosexuality. Despite limiting these things, it inspired creative filmmakers to work around the code and find new and clever ways to challenge it. The films we chose, She Done Him Wrong and Baby Face were each released in 1933, and a case could be made that they led to stricter enforcement of the code. Baby Face stars Barbara Stanwyck as Lily, a woman who escapes her evil father and makes her way in the city, quite literally sleeping her way to the top of high society. She Done Him Wrong is based on Mae West's own play, and she plays a nightclub owner who must contend with a jealous ex who escapes from prison, and a young Cary Grant, a police captain. Questions or comments about what we talked about?

Hide the kids and hide the dogs -- the curmudgeon to end all curmudgeons is here. We're talking about William Claude Dukenfield -- better known to comedy fans as W.C. Fields. From his start as a juggler in vaudeville shows, Fields added comedy to his act. Over time, he developed the comedy persona of a con artist who had a particular aversion to kids and dogs. Fields would often recycle old vaudeville bits in his movies, and woe be unto anyone he caught "nibbling" at his routines. In the late 1930s and early 1940s he was at the top of his game but a real-life drinking problem made him unreliable and the film offers stopped arriving. Toward the end of his life he was persuaded to record a couple of monologues which turned out to be his only recordings. But W.C. still has a following today -- just visit his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and surely someone will be saying "go away kid. . . you're bothering me." As always find extra clips below, and thanks for sharing our shows!   Want more W.C.

Pianist and singer Liberace was one-of-a-kind with big dimples, pompadour hair, huge rings on his fingers and expensive and flamboyant suits and capes. No one had his flair or style and he had a great dynamic with his audience, proclaiming often that he agreed with Mae West when she said, "Too much of a good thing, is wonderful." He was once the highest paid entertainer in the world. When one thinks of Liberace, the first thing that comes to mind are the costumes. Oh, those costumes! He grew up at a time when being openly gay was frowned upon and even dangerous and thus he denied his homosexuality all the way to his death from AIDS. So much talent and style couldn't possibly just go away with death. His spirit still watches over his collections. Join us for the life and afterlife of Liberace!

Episode: 3323 We learn a new way of speaking in the 1930s.  Today, biting words.

The ultimate bar crawl of Old New York continues through a survey of classic bars and taverns that trace their origins from the 1850s through the 1880s.And this time we're recording within two of America's most famous establishments, joined by the people who know that history the best.In Part One, we introduced you to the origin story of New York City tavern life in the Dutch and colonial periods, and we ventured into Fraunces Tavern to witness the creation of the United States itself. Then we headed out to Queens and to Neir's Tavern, which quenched the thirsts of horse-racing fans in the early 19th century -- and reinvented itself in the 20th century thanks to Mae West and Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas.For part two, we fill out our list of the most historic bars and taverns still serving customers in the 21st century -- from SoHo to Williamsburg, from Midtown Manhattan to Red Hook, Brooklyn.But we center our adventure within two classic Manhattan bars, which wear their histories proudly upon the walls:-- McSorley's Old Ale House is the most famous Irish saloon in New York City (and dare we even say, the whole country?), and its stacked, cluttered walls -- every strange piece tells a story -- welcome you inside to become a part of its history.  Historian Will Wander and long-time bartender Shane Buggy provide a most intoxicating tour of the joint.-- Pete's Tavern has become famous as one of America's most enduring literary bars thanks to its long-time association with O. Henry. But there are so many more secrets awaiting you -- from its association with Tammany Hall to its curious transformation into a "flower shop" during Prohibition.  General manager Gary Egan and owner Steve Troy reveal many surprising twists in Pete's own history.This episode was edited and produced by Kieran Gannon. Visit the website for more images of the famous bars mentioned in this week's show.

We've put together the ultimate New York City historic bar crawl, a celebration of the city's old taverns, pubs, and ale houses with 18th- and 19th-century connections. And along the way, you'll learn so much about the city's overall history — from its changing shoreline to the everyday lives of its working-class immigrant populations.Being an old historic bar isn't just a novel curiosity for history lovers. It can be good for business and many of the most popular landmark pubs literally wear their stories on the walls — framed newspapers and photographs, memorabilia, old clocks, sailors' caps and fedoras.The history of old bars is a little like a ghost story, where a legend has grown up around a historic place, and decades or centuries later, it can be hard to determine the pure truth. In many ways, the myths are as powerful and as interesting as the actual history itself.In this episode, the first of two parts, Greg and Kieran visit two very different establishments representing the colonial and rustic world of Old New York:— Fraunces Tavern, one of the most important American landmarks of the Revolutionary War, remains a vibrant spot over 250 years after its stools and tables were occupied with rebellious colonists. Today, its history lovers and workers from the Financial District who enjoy its labyrinthine bar and dining rooms, while upstairs an impressive museum celebrates the tavern's many eras of greatness.— Neir's Tavern, in the quiet residential neighborhood of Woodhaven, Queens, once sat next to the popular Union Race Course, one of the key American sports venues of the early 19th century. Horse-racing remains in the bar's DNA — in its insignia and on its walls. But this surprising spot may be better known for its connections to sassy queen of comedy Mae West and to the iconic Martin Scorsese film Goodfellas, which was filmed here.PLUS: The Ear Inn! And we tell you with absolute certainty the location of the oldest tavern structure in New York City. You can't drink beer there anymore, but next to it, you can grab a coffee and a croissant.This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon.The Bowery Boys Podcast is proud to be sponsored by FOUNDED BY NYC, celebrating New York City's 400th anniversary in 2025 and the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026.
