Podcasts about Mamet

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Elisha Krauss and Adam react to the passing of Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson and the bizarre beach laws still on the books in California. Adam also responds to a viral video of a crane flying into a Bengal tiger enclosure at a Chinese zoo, and the jailing of a Brazilian comedian over “bigoted” jokes made during a 2022 performance. To wrap things up, Adam and Elisha discuss Donald Trump's endorsement of arresting California Governor Gavin Newsom.Later, Adam is joined in the studio by legendary writer and filmmaker David Mamet. They dive into a wide-ranging conversation covering Mamet's political evolution, including how his views have led to professional blacklisting and why he believes the modern Left is out of touch with everyday Americans. The two discuss the dangers of blindly towing the party line, the Left's history of misogyny, and the absurd ideological leaps seen in figures like Greta Thunberg. Mamet also shares his thoughts on timeless lessons from the Bible—even for atheists—and talks about his new film Henry Johnson and working with Shia LaBeouf.

Caper movies aren't like others involving criminals: there's an aesthetic to a caper that's as important to the thieves as it is to the viewers. Heist is David Mamet's 2001 caper film that stands as his Singin' in the Rain—an apt comparison, since “caper” meant “to dance” long before it took on its criminal meaning. Join us for an appreciation of one of Gene Hackman's best yet least-discussed performances and of Mamet's highly unrealistic dialogue. (Yes, you read that correctly–and we love David Mamet.) David Mamet's short book On Directing Film is a great companion to Heist. Incredible bumper music by John Deley. Please subscribe to the show and consider leaving us a rating or review.

This week, we tackle the 2025 Broadway revival of Glengarry Glen Ross at the Palace Theatre. We break down the cast's performances, especially Bob Odenkirk's Tony-nominated turn, and discuss the production's approach to Mamet's sharp dialogue and controversial themes. We question the creative choices behind the direction and design, and consider whether the play's portrayal of toxic masculinity and cutthroat sales culture still lands with modern audiences.

On this episode of Drive-In Double Feature, Nathan and Ryan dive into David Mamet's slick and cerebral directorial debut, House of Games (1987). When a psychologist gets pulled into the seductive world of con artists, things spiral into a tense game of manipulation and trust. The hosts break down Mamet's trademark dialogue, the film's layered cons, and how this noir-inspired thriller keeps viewers on their toes until the final moment. Is it all just smoke and mirrors? Tune in and find out.

I went to the opening of David Mamet's new movie “Henry Johnson” the same day James Foley died, who directed the movie version of Mamet's most famous work, and I was in nerd utopia. I also went to see the Accountant 2 (“tWoOo?!”) so that you don't have to. Thank you for your ears, throughout the years.  

On this week's episode, I'm joined by Evan Jonigkeit, the star and producer of Henry Johnson. Based on the play of the same name by David Mamet, Henry Johnson is Mamet's first film in a dozen years and a beguiling provocation; I greatly enjoyed discussing not only the meaning of the movie with Jonigkeit but also how difficult it is to get a picture like this—a series of Socratic dialogues, a movie of complex ideas made for adults—in front of audiences.  Henry Johnson is available to rent now from the film's website and is playing in a handful of locations (including a one-night stop at the Aero in Los Angeles and a residency at Bryn Mawr). I hope you check it out. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!

David Mamet is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright, screenwriter, and director. He first gained acclaim in the 1970s with plays like Sexual Perversity in Chicago, American Buffalo, and later the landmark Glengarry Glen Ross, which earned him both a Pulitzer and a Tony nomination. A founding member of the Atlantic Theater Company, Mamet's prolific career spans theater, television, film, and essays. Mamet's most recent play, Henry Johnson, premiered in 2023 and is currently being adapted for the screen. Starting May 9th, Henry Johnson will be available for rental directly through the film's website - and will also be screening in theaters across the country, including stops in Dallas (May 6), Santa Monica (May 9), and a weeklong run at Bryn Mawr Film Institute in Pennsylvania (May 9–13). ------ Thank you to the sponsors that fuel our podcast and our team: Athletic Nicotine https://www.athleticnicotine.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Squarespace https://squarespace.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ LMNT Electrolytes https://drinklmnt.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Sign up to receive Tetragrammaton Transmissions https://www.tetragrammaton.com/join-newsletter

A richly deserved Pulitzer cemented the legacy of David Mamet's 1983 play "Glengarry Glen Ross," but that legacy evolved during the opening minutes of James Foley's 1992 film adaptation. Alec Baldwin's memorable monologue (a scene Mamet wrote specifically for the screenplay) coupled with a murderers' row of actors, catapulted the film into a highly quoted cult classic. Media veteran Jason Wagenheim joins Dennis to discuss what it takes to get them to sign on the line which is dotted. Coffee is for closers only. Hosted on Acast.

Gene Hackman murió a los 95 años. Como todos los actores que tuvieron la suerte de crear un arquetipo en el cine, lo de él tiene mucho que ver con la forma en que decía las palabras. Su voz no era seductora ni imponente. Era una voz de jornal, de sargento, de sheriff de pueblo chico. Una voz reconocible y familiar que nos hacía tener fe en la película que íbamos a ver, aunque todo lo demás fuera mediocre.

My library finally re-opened post-pandemic and I went in for a celebratory look around. Though it supposedly had been re-modeled, it seemed to look exactly the same. (Except now there seemed to be no way to access the card catalogue? WTF?) I took a look at the theatre section because, you know, Theatre Nerd, and was struck by how much the selection of plays resembled the selection of plays that were in the library when I was growing up. It struck me that the accepted literary canon of theatrical greatness has not really been updated since the 1950s. When I was growing up, the theatre section looked like Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. And today, the theatre section looks like mostly Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. This doesn't mean that theatre folk only read Miller and Williams but I think it does mean that the culture as a whole still only considers Miller and Williams worth keeping in the collection. There may be a scattered addition from a contemporary writer – maybe if it's a library that's really trying to expand, you'll see some August Wilson or Suzan Lori Parks or an Anna Deavere Smith. My library had an Annie Baker, even. But for the most part, in libraries and bookstores across America, the bulk of a theatre section will be Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams – maybe, on occasion, some Mamet, Albee, Simon or Durang – but most shelves will be the Miller and Williams collection. I'm curious about this. To keep reading The Canon Is Stuck visit the Songs for the Struggling Artist blog.

Nearly 20 years ago, a struggling New York-based theater actor, Hugh, had a chance meeting with David Mamet that would literally change his life. That meeting opened doors he never could have imagined and paved the way for a transformative career in the film industry. His foray into this world was Mamet's love story to BJJ and the Martial Arts—Redbelt—which ushered Hugh into a community of martial artists and filmmakers who would go on to become legends in the industry. We start this episode of Fights With Friends at the opening scene of Redbelt, which offers one of the earliest depictions of BJJ and grappling on the American screen. Sit back and get ready for a thoughtful, philosophical, and genuine discussion on martial arts, film, the struggles of working in the film business, and magic.

Noel catches up with Lindsay Crouse. The Oscar, Grammy and Emmy nominated actress received her Oscar nomination for her role in "Places in the Heart." Lindsay talks about her Oscar night experience. She played Lily Braden in "Slap Shot." Lindsay reveals which Charlestown Chief came to her hotel room naked and the type of practical jokes Paul Newman played. Lindsay had a pivotal role in another Paul Newman classic, "The Verdict," which was written by her then husband, David Mamet. She starred in "House of Games," which was written and directed by Mamet.

Pulitzer Prize winning playwright David Mamet talks about his new memoir, Everywhere an Oink Oink about his 40 year career in Hollywood. CEO Neil Ahlsten talks about Abide, the Christian prayer app he founded, and what is driving the popularity of these faith based applications.

David Mamet, an acclaimed playwright who has won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize, expressed his reservations concerning the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) norms that have seen increasing prevalence in Hollywood. During a recent discussion, Mamet presented a belief that these norms may serve to restrict the innovative capabilities of practicing professionals within his industry, carrying a negative impact on the quality of work produced. He voiced his particular concerns against the new criteria the Academy of Motion Pictures has laid out for consideration in its award races. Mamet seemed perturbed by the newfound invasive attitude of these regulations, arguing that they could be stripping away the essence of meaningful storytelling. Mamet has a deep-rooted conviction that the film industry should not act as a propelling force for the propagation of evolving viewpoints about racial matters and diversity. For him, it's a matter of maintaining the sphere of influence within its boundaries and not encroaching upon individual values and perceptions. As part of his critique, he also indicated dissatisfaction with the decisions of certain film executives and scriptwriters. Mamet's worry lies in the potential silent treatment of unconventional, creative writers whose unique perspectives might be suppressed due to adhering to these standards. He conveyed his thoughts on the state of the film industry by demonstrating a decidedly bleak vista. Mamet insinuates that the once thriving field is showing worrisome signs of stagnation and deterioration. Interestingly, Mamet is not the only prominent figure to voice concerns about the prevailing DEI standards in Hollywood. Renowned actor Richard Dreyfuss has also questioned the rationality of having art's trajectory determined by fluctuating moral compasses. Dreyfuss asserts the importance of creating art autonomously, unbound by the demands of keeping in step with the moral zeitgeist. He adamantly posits that art should not be confined to the current dictations of morality that seem to swing in the tides of societal opinion. Like Mamet, Dreyfuss questions the need to create artworks specifically designed to please either minority or majority viewership segments. He harbours the notion that works of art should be appreciated for their inherent worth, not for how well they conform to the voices of specific demographic groups. For an in-depth understanding of Dreyfuss's views, one can tune in to 'Firing Line with Margaret Hoover.' This provides an excellent platform for hearing Dreyfuss articulate his concerns and beliefs in person. Both Mamet and Dreyfuss highlight an essential question that Hollywood, and indeed the arts industry at large, must grapple with: Should art conform to societal demands, or should it remain independent, potentially challenging audiences to question and re-evaluate their preconceived notions and beliefs? These prevalent voices come at a pertinent time when the industry is grappling with the balance between maintaining its creative freedom and adhering to the evolving societal norms of inclusivity. Respectful dialogues like these are imperative to ensuring that an equilibrium is reached that doesn't compromise the thriving creative spirit of Hollywood. Collectively, their remarks reflect a deep-seated longing for a Hollywood that values the uncompromised voice of the artist. It's an echolalia of a time when storytelling was sacred, and distinctive voices weren't hindered by monolithic standards. Yet, these views serve but one perspective on a multi-dimensional issue. While it's important to heed their concerns, it's equally critical to understand the transformative power the arts can have in promoting a more equal and diverse society. The Balance between preserving art for art's sake, and accommodating evolving demands of inclusivity and recognition of marginalised voices, is a continuous discourse in Hollywood. It is a worthwhile dialogue to engage in, as the art does not exist in a vacuum - it both influences and mirrors society. In conclusion, understanding that the observations raised by Mamet and Dreyfuss are part of a larger, on-going conversation about diversity, equality, and inclusion in Hollywood can serve as a crucial stepping stone. While they hint at a nostalgia for a more 'unrestricted' era of storytelling, it's important to comprehend that these conversations serve as a catalyst for necessary change.

The amazing Jeff Solomon, actor, writer, extraordinaire and dear friend, comes on to talk about a real puzzle of a movie: Dragged Across Concrete. This 2018 S Craig Zahler film... we just don't know what to make of it! A compelling Mamet-esque crime film? A racist vehicle for Mel Gibson? Some looney tunes style violence passed off as realistic? Unclear! But it did get us talking! Tangents include shoplifting, being a good kid, and discussions of when film is commentating on something versus when a film is simply repeating racist tropes.

The topic of this episode is, “Delegates to the House of Representatives: who are they and what do they do?”My guest is Elliot Mamet. He is a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. Previously, he served as an American Political Science Association Congressional Fellow. Elliot holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from Duke University.Also important to note is that Dr. Mamet spent time working in the office of Washington, D.C. delegate, Eleanor Holmes Norton. All of which makes him a great person to ask the question, "Delegates to the House of Representatives: who are they and what do they do?"Kevin Kosar:Welcome to Understanding Congress, a podcast about the first branch of government. Congress is a notoriously complex institution and few Americans think well of it, but Congress is essential to our republic. It's a place where our pluralistic society is supposed to work out its differences and come to agreement about what our laws should be, and that is why we are here to discuss our national legislature and to think about ways to upgrade it so it can better serve our nation. I'm your host, Kevin Kosar, and I'm a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a think tank in Washington D.C.Welcome to the podcast.Elliot Mamet:Thank you, Kevin. It's great to be here.Kevin Kosar:Let's start with a really simple question. Listeners are all too familiar with the fact that the House typically has 435 members. But they also have delegates. How many delegates are there to the House of Representatives?Elliot Mamet:Currently, there are five delegates to the House of Representatives. They serve from Washington, D.C., Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. There's also a Resident Commissioner—a non-voting member—from Puerto Rico. So there're six total non-voting members in the House. Kevin Kosar:Representatives in the House come from districts these days. Where and who do these delegates and non-voting members represent? And is represent even the correct term for what their role is?Elliot Mamet:The non-voting members of Congress represent Americans who live outside the several states. Throughout their entire history, they've represented people who don't live in states—whether that's in the federal enclave of the District of Columbia or in territories either on the path to statehood or not on the path to statehood. Today, they represent 4 million Americans. Of that group, 3.5 million live in the United States territories—those people are 98% racial and ethnic minorities—and the remainder are the residents of the District of Columbia who are majority black or Hispanic. So the delegates represent overwhelmingly non-white constituents, and they represent a group of Americans who lack the same citizen rights and lack political equality to those people living in the several states.Kevin Kosar:Now, on this program, there's been a number of episodes where I and a guest have talked about earlier Congresses—the Congresses at the founding, early 20th century, etc.—and non-voting representatives just didn't come up in the conversation. Are they a recent development, or have they always been with us?Elliot Mamet:Great question. The non-voting representative has been a feature since the earliest Congresses. The institution dates back at least to 1784 when a committee chaired by Thomas Jefferson suggested that territories prior to becoming a state would be able to send a delegate to Congress with the

Joe Mantegna grew up around multiple family members who were combat veterans of World War II. He tried to become a pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War but was dismissed due to poor eyesight. But for more than 20 years, Mantegna has been a very active supporter of our active duty military, veterans, and families of the fallen. Since 2002, he has been a part of the National Memorial Day Concert, serving almost all of those years as a host or co-host alongside fellow veterans advocate Gary Sinise.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Mantegna shares his story from growing up in Chicago to becoming a successful actor on stage and screen. He also explains how his understanding of Memorial Day changed drastically once he was asked to be a part of the concert. Mantegna also tells us how the powerful stories that get presented each year are chosen and what it is like to share such emotional moments in front of the families who lived it and often lost their loved ones.

The impact that Blake Snyder's Save the Cat® book series has had on Hollywood screenwriting is incalculable. Rarely does a book change the way screenwriters approach story and structure. In his best-selling book, Save the Cat! Goes to the Movies: The Screenwriter's Guide to Every Story Ever Told, Blake Snyder provided 50 “beat sheets” to 50 films, mostly studio-made.Now his student, screenwriter and novelist Salva Rubio applies Blake's principles to 50 independent, auteur, European, and cult films (again with 5 beat sheets for each of Blake's 10 genres in the book Save the Cat!® Goes to the Indies: The Screenwriters Guide to 50 Films from the Masters.If you're a moviegoer, you'll discover a language to analyze film and understand how filmmakers can effectively reach audiences.If you're a writer, this book reveals how those who came before you tackled the same challenges you are facing with the films you want to write. Writing a “rom-com”? Check out the “Buddy Love” chapter for a “beat for beat” dissection of Before Sunrise, The Reader, Blue Is the Warmest Color, and more to see how Linklater and Krizan, David Hare, and Kechiche and Lacroix structured their films.Scripting a horror film? Read the “Monster in the House” section and discover how 28 Days Later and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre are the same movie – and what you need to do to write a scary story that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.Want to execute a great mystery? Go to the “Whydunit” chapter and learn about the “dark turn” that's essential to the heroes of The Big Lebowski, The French Connection, and Michael Clayton.Want your protagonist to go up against an evil “institution”? Consider how Mamet handled Glengarry Glen Ross and Tarantino's famed Pulp Fiction.Writing a “Superhero” story? See how Susannah Grant structured Erin Brockovich, Anderson & Baumbach worked out Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Gilliam & Stoppard & McKeown laid the foundation for Brazil.With these 50 beat sheets, you'll see how “hitting the beats” creates stories that resonate the world over for these outstanding writers—and how you can follow in their footsteps.Salva Rubio is a novelist, screenwriter, and author.He has been nominated at the Spanish Goya Awards for Best Animation Feature. As a graphic novel writer, some of his works have been published in America, including Monet, Itinerant of Light (nominated for an Eisner Award), and The Photographer of Mauthausen. Salva is an associate member of the WGAW (Writers Guild of America, West) and a member of the Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias Cinematográficas de España.Enjoy my conversation with Salva Rubio.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/2664729/advertisement
