On this episode we knock out the penultimate installment in our TOP 100 FAVORITE MOVIES EVER. These flicks just missed the top 10. Some Nolan, some Wes, some superheroes, and so much more. Enjoy.
Author Rick Porrello joins Tim to talk about his book that tells of story of the notorious and now legendary Danny Greene, who tried to take down the mafia in Cleveland in life, and may have done it in death. Rick was the chief of a suburban Cleveland police department, and over the years he has written a number of best-selling books about murder, the mafia and organized crime. The book we're going to talk about today was even turned into a major Hollywood motion picture. That book is, “To Kill the Irishman.” https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/Rick_Porrello_-_Ballad_of_Danny_Greene_auphonic.mp3 When most people think of the mafia, organized crime, gangsters, they have a few eras and places in mind. First, it may be the Prohibition Era from 1920 to 1933, where gangs made millions off of bootleg whiskey and alcohol, illegally, of course. And they left in their wake a trail of death and blood in the streets of Chicago, New York and other cities. Mobsters like Al Capone and John Dillinger became larger than life celebrities for a time. And they became legends through newspaper and media coverage, books and film. When you think of the mafia, you may have in your mind the world of Don Corleone and his family at the center of the Godfather films, or all those Martin Scorsese movies about the underworld. Any number of books and documentaries documented the realities, the myths and the stories of La Cosa Nostra – the mafia – and organized crime figures. Hardly ever, however, do you hear about how some of these stories center on places like Pittsburgh, Detroit, Buffalo or Cleveland. But at its peak, it was everywhere there was money to be made, and these were some of the cities helping them make it. And yet, in the end, it may have been one story out of Cleveland that changed everything. Our guest today has an interesting perspective on all of this. He was in law enforcement for decades. He also had a unique family history. Links Rick Porrello's Website The Rise and Fall of the Cleveland Mafia, by Rick Porrello (Amazon) To Kill the Irishman, by Rick Porrello (Amazon) Rick Porrello on Facebook Dedication This episode is dedicated to Ray Stevenson, who played Danny Greene in the "Kill the Irishman" motion picture. Ray died suddenly and unexpectedly earlier in 2023. About this Episode's Guest Rick Porrello Author, drummer, and former police chief Rick Porrello has a knack for writing books that attract interest from filmmakers. Hollywood snapped up To Kill the Irishman—the War that Crippled the Mafia before it was even published, and turned it into the movie Kill the Irishman, starring Ray Stevenson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Christopher Walken, and Val Kilmer. A motion picture based on Superthief — A Master Burglar, the Mafia, and the Biggest Bank Burglary in U.S. History is in development. Both books have also generated documentaries. Rick's first career was as a jazz drummer. At the age of 18, he got his first big break when he started touring internationally with Sammy Davis, Jr. Despite a skyrocketing music career, Rick decided to trade his sticks for a badge, which had been his dream since childhood. What followed was a 33-year career as a police officer in Greater Cleveland, with the last ten of those years as chief of police. As an organized crime historian, Rick Porrello's perspective is an intriguing one. He began writing his first book during family research into the murders of his grandfather and three uncles, all of whom, he learned, were mob leaders killed in Prohibition-era violence. The Rise and Fall of the Cleveland Mafia quickly became a regional favorite and has endured as a backlist title. When he isn't hammering out his next book, co-authoring a screenplay, serving as a consulting or executive producer, or drumming with a number of bands, Porrello gives presentations on his books and on his writing and publishing journey.
Sept. 15-21: Martin Scorsese gets high-class, Bruce Willis is on a boat, the NYPD gets blue, Rocko gets modern, Martha Stewart conquers everything, thirteen-year-olds gone wild, Beyoncé fixes the choir, Hugh Jackman gets grim, Brooklyn cops get silly, and Diana gets her own movie. All that and more as we look 30, 20, and 10 years ago!
In our Season 9 premiere, we feature a couple of amazing interviews with Paul McCartney. First up, from 1976, Paul tells Canadian broadcast legend Roger Ashby about his creative process, his influences and the long shadow of The Beatles. And from 1980, Macca describes how he ended up playing the bass originally, the inspiration for making “Sgt Pepper” and the tensions in creating The White Album. And in chilling comments made weeks before the death of John Lennon, Paul talks about the price of fame. Also this week, a great series of interview clips with The Spinners. Singer Pervis Jackson (whose deep voice makes Tom & Christopher sound like chipmunks) explains the deep history of the band (going all the way back to the ‘50s!) and the profound effect producer Thom Bell had on the band during their heyday in the ‘70s. He also tells the stories behind the hits “Could It Be I'm Falling In Love” and “Then Came You”. And we'll also revisit our recent tribute to Robbie Robertson, featuring some great interview clips from the ‘70s when he was still with The Band – in which he talks about hooking up with Bob Dylan in the ‘60s – and how The Basement Tapes were created. Plus, a wonderful chat with Robbie from 1998 as he discusses his solo albums and his film work with Martin Scorsese. Plus, Elton John talks about how he was more influenced by The Band than he was by Dylan. Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville. It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.
JONATHAN TAPLIN is former tour manager for Bob Dylan and The Band, producer of two Martin Scorsese films, MEAN STREETS and THE LAST WALTZ, and Director Emeritus of the USC Annenberg Innovation Lab. Next week I'll talk with him about his new book, THE END OF REALITY: How Four Billionaires Are Selling a Fantasy Future of the Metaverse, Mars, And Crypto. How better to warm up for that than by replaying our 2018 conversation about his earlier book MOVE FAST AND BREAK THINGS: How Facebook, Google and Amazon Cornered Culture and Undermined Democracy.

Ariana Harwicz nació en Buenos Aires, en 1977. Desde el año 2007 vive en Francia, en el campo. Es autora de las revulsivas, premiadas y celebradas novelas Mátate, amor, La débil mental, Precoz y Degenerado. Junto con Mikael Gómez Guthart escribió en ensayo Desertar. Sus libros fueron traducidos a varias lenguas, sus novelas fueron adaptadas al teatro y Mátate, amor será llevada al cine en 2024, producida por Martin Scorsese y protagonizada por Jennifer Lawrence. Habitualmente publica ensayos y relatos en diarios y revistas de todo el mundo. El ruido de una época, publicado por Marciana, fue libro visto antes de producirse. En lugar de que la autora lo ofreciera a una editorial fueron los editores los que buscaron a la escritora. En los últimos años Harwicz viene publicando en redes y en medios su mirada crítica de la era de la cancelación y del arte bienpensante, así que los editores le propusieron reunir escritos, reescribir y escribir ad hoc, con el propósito de publicar un libro que pusiera a la vista este conjunto de ideas subversivas. En el centro de los textos hay un cuestionamiento fundamental: para Harwicz, es una contradicción lógica para un artista someterse a las reglas impuestas por la sociedad de su tiempo. Lejos de cualquier matiz de corrección política y sin miedo a las palabras, Ariana Harwicz interviene en la escena pública para discutir lo que se da por sentado y para encender el fuego del debate artístico e intelectual, que parece haber sido reemplazado por los likes de las redes. “Lo políticamente correcto es la gangrena del arte de este siglo”, dice al comienzo de su nuevo libro. Y luego avanza, cuchillo en mano, intentando desbrozar las nuevas reglas de la cultura, en las que la posible ofensa por discriminación u odio domina el territorio por encima de la ambigüedad y la necesidad de todo artista de crear un lenguaje. En la sección En voz alta Gustavo Nielsen leyó una copla que escribió Leopoldo Brizuela cuando tenía 13 años. Gustavo Nielsen nació en Buenos Aires en 1962. Es arquitecto y escritor. Tiene varios libros publicados: “Playa quemada”, “La flor azteca”, “La fe ciega”, “El amor enfermo”, “Auschwitz”, “El corazón de Doli”, “El contagio social”, entre otros. Con “Marvin” obtuvo el Premio Municipal de Literatura en cuento y con “La otra playa” el Premio Clarín de Novela." Nielsen acaba de publicar una colección de cuentos de fantasmas en los que el horror se conjuga con el humor y la ternura, con un título tan insólito como provocador: “fff”. Y en Bibliotecas, la escritora Ana Wajszczuk nos habló de los del historiador francés Ivan Jablonka, los novelistas Jonathan Franzen y Jeffrey Eugenides entre otros. Ana Wajszczuk nació en Quilmes, en 1975. Es editora y periodista. Sus artículos aparecieron en periódicos y revistas de Latinoamérica como La Nación (Costa Rica), GQ, SoHo, Radar, Clarín, La Nación Revista, Noticias, Rolling Stone y La Agenda de Buenos Aires, entre otros; también fue editora de la revista Los Inrockuptibles. Publicó Trópico Trip y El libro de los polacos y la no ficción Chicos de Varsovia (2017), adaptado al teatro y premiado por el Estado y la TV de Polonia y elegido como uno de los 20 libros latinoamericanos del año por el diario El País (España) y acaba de publicar la novela “Fantasticland”, una novela íntima y realista con una visión única y personal de la maternidad narrada con desenfado y gracia. En la sección Bienvenidos, Hinde habló de “Tulio Halperín Donghi. La Herencia Está Ahí: Diez Entrevista” compilado por Javier Trímboli (Omnívora), “En cuatro palabras”, de Pablo Pschepiurca (Paradiso) y “Jim Click o la invención maravillosa”, de Fernand Fleuret (Selva Canela) Y en Libros que sí recomendó “La mujer sin razón”, de María Martoccia (Beatriz Viterbo), “Diarios y cuadernos 1941-1995”, de Patricia Highsmith (Anagrama) y “La cabellera andante”, de Margo Glantz (El cuenco de plata) Y en Libros del estribo agradeció la recepción de “La gente tri...
“But the years of peace and plenty was not to last. Slowly the days turned sour and the watchful nights closed in. Thrór's love of gold grown too fierce and sickness had begun to grow within him. It was a sickness of the mind. And where sickness thrives, bad things will follow...” — JRR Tolkien “The more White investigated the flow of oil money from Osage headrights, the more he found layer upon layer of corruption. Although some white guardians and administrators tried to act in the best interests of the tribe, countless others used the system to swindle the very people they were ostensibly protecting. Many guardians would purchase, for their wards, goods from their own stores or inventories at inflated prices.” — David Grann You may have heard of Killers of the Flower Moon, a new movie by Martin Scorsese, starring Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio. Or, maybe you have heard of the best-selling book by David Grann, on which the movie is based. In this episode, I do a deep dive into the murders at the root of the story. Back in the late 1800s, the Osage tribe was kicked out of their homes and pushed onto a plot of poor land where few people wanted to live. But the Universe has a sense of humor. Fast-forward a few years, and in a surprising twist of events it is discovered their land is not so poor after all, since it sits on some of the largest oil deposits in United States. Overnight, the Osage go from the deepest poverty to extreme wealth. A happy, feel-good story then, right? Not so fast. By the early 1920s, many Osage die in the prime of their lives—some are mysterious deaths. Others are clearly murders by poison, shooting and explosives. In this tale, I'll tell you about oil, greed, murder mysteries, the birth of the FBI, and much more!

David Grann is a staff writer for The New Yorker and the author of two nonfiction books that topped the best-seller list this summer: “The Wager” and “Killers of the Flower Moon,” from 2017, which Martin Scorsese has adapted into a film opening in October. Grann is among the most lauded nonfiction writers at The New Yorker; David Remnick says that “his urge to find unique stories and tell them with rigor and style is rare to the vanishing point.” Grann talks with Remnick about his beginnings as a writer, and about his almost obsessive research and writing process. “The trick is how can you tell a true story using these literary techniques and remain completely factually based,” Grann says. “What I realized as I did this more is that you are an excavator. You aren't imagining the story—you are excavating the story.” Grann recounts travelling in rough seas to the desolate site of the eighteenth-century shipwreck at the heart of “The Wager,” his most recent book, so that he could convey the sailors' despair more accurately. That book is also being made into a film by Scorcese. “It's a learning curve because I've never been in the world of Hollywood,” Grann says. “You're a historical resource. … Once they asked me, ‘What was the lighting in the room?' I thought about it for a long time. That's something I would not need to know, writing a book.” But Grann is glad to be in the hands of an expert, and keep his distance from the process. “I'm not actually interested in making a film,” he admits. “I'm really interested in these stories, and so I love that somebody else with their own vision and intellect is going to draw on these stories and add to our understanding of whatever this work is.”

The Age of Innocence may come as a surprise to those who associate Martin Scorsese with movies about gangsters. Based on Edith Wharton's novel, it's a sumptuous period romance set in late-19th-century Manhattan high society. Intriguingly, Scorsese described it as his "most violent film", though not so much as a punch is thrown: the violence portrayed is interior and social, not physical, in this depiction of a romance thwarted by the constricting social norms of the upper class. Scorsese faced the challenge of depicting a society in which, as the narrator puts it, "the real thing was never said or done or even thought, but only represented by a set of arbitrary signs" - and so the director cannot rely on characters stating things outright. His great accomplishment is that the film nonetheless reaches an operatic pitch of emotion, keeping the viewer on seat-edge. This is done not only through outstanding performances (Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Winona Ryder), but also by camera movements conveying repressed passion, by light and color, and by the gorgeous Elmer Bernstein score. For all that, if the film merely depicted the cruelty of social norms and mores stifling forbidden love, it would be of limited interest. Yet as the story develops, it doesn't allow itself to be reduced to a critique of the past. Indeed, though not without ambiguity, it shows the value of strong social rules and institutions - because often, if we follow our passion, we destroy ourselves and others.

In this episode I'll be delving into film criticism with an analysis of the 1948 film Rope, produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring John Dall, Farley Granger, and James Stewart. Rope has fascinated me since I first saw it earlier this year; it's now one of my favorite films and, in my opinion, and although it enjoys considerably less fame than staples like Psycho and Vertigo, Hitchcock's best. Its central theme, as I'll be arguing here, is the relation between the life-world of human symbolic reality and the Real itself, and as such makes an excellent example for exploring some of the themes of metaphysical idealism from my recent episodes. At the same time, I thought it would make an excellent warmup for a larger film criticism project I'd like to attempt, a look at the religious themes in the films of Martin Scorsese. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/asatanistreadsthebible/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/asatanistreadsthebible/support

En este episodio se habla de las películas y los personajes como preguntas sin respuesta. Celina Murga es una de las principales exponentes del Nuevo Cine Argentino. A través de una sólida filmografía, que combina ficción y documental, ha impulsado la producción en su ciudad natal, Entre Ríos, y ha retratado las tensiones sociales que corren bajo la calma de la cotidianidad rural. Desde 2008, tras participar de la Iniciativa Artística Rolex para Mentores y Discípulos, el trabajo de Murga ha contado con la producción ejecutiva del mítico director estadounidense Martin Scorsese y sus obras se han presentado en festivales alrededor del mundo como la Semana de la Crítica de Venecia, Rotterdam, BAFICI y la Competencia Oficial de la Berlinale. Por otro lado, Marina De Tavira es una actriz mexicana con una larga trayectoria, reconocida internacionalmente en el medio cinematográfico por su participación en la película Roma, de Alfonso Cuarón, papel con el que obtuvo una nominación a los Premios Óscar como Mejor Actriz de Reparto. Heredera de un importante legado teatral, y apasionada conocedora de las artes escénicas, De Tavira ha alternado su trabajo en las tablas con papeles en cine bajo la dirección de realizadores de México, Uruguay y Estados Unidos.Después de trabajar juntas en el largometraje El aroma del pasto recién cortado, Celina y Marina se reúnen para hablar de su interés en el drama y el valor de la duda para la escritura y la actuación.

Halfway through Casablanca, we learn why Rick Blaine is so cynical, angry, and embittered; we also feel glad at the end when he takes off his armor and begins that beautiful friendship. But how would we respond if we never learned why Rick acted as he does? The answer is that he'd be Dixon Steele, whom Bogart portrays so well in Nicholas Ray's 1950 thriller In a Lonely Place. Join Mike and Dan for a conversation about a Bogart film they think deserves a wider audience and how it predicts what Martin Scorsese would do twenty-six years later with Taxi Driver. William J. Mann's Bogie & Bacall: The Surprising True Story of Hollywood's Greatest Love Affair, is a thoroughly interesting dual biography about the movies' most enduring power couple.
