Podcast appearances and mentions of matt prigge

S4, E27: Today we're joined by author Matt Prigge, author of six books, including Opening Day in Milwaukee: The Brewers' Season Starters, 1970-22! We discuss the process of writing the book, the research that all went into it, and what Opening Day means to him. We really enjoyed our conversation. We also discuss, along with Matt and before he joined, the Brewers' recent skid and the nebulous direction of the team. Is this the real Brewers or just a slight setback?

The 1974 Charles Bronson vehicle Death Wish is far from the best New York movie of the era – but it may be the most influential. Its story of a mild-mannered upper-class Manhattan resident who responds to the rising crime rates by taking the law into his own hands, hitting the streets and taking out muggers and criminals of various types (but mostly black, brown, and poor) hit a nerve in the city, and across the country.    Its influence was reflected not only in movies – where it beget a series of sequels, imitators, remakes, and rip-offs – but in the culture, where its noble image of the one-man justice squad often resulted in messier outcomes than onscreen. And it altered the lives of several of its participants, including star Bronson (who found himself typecast for the rest of his career) and Brian Garfield, author of the book that inspired it, who spent the rest of his life crusading against the film adaptation's mangled message.   We'll explore all of that and more in this two-part episode. Our guests for part two are New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb, film historians and pop culture critics LaToya Ferguson, Matt Prigge, and Paul Talbot, and filmmaker (and Death Wish 3 co-star) Alex Winter.

Countdown television and films finest fictional bands in this episode of List Rate Rank. With incredible imaginary ensembles like Spinal Tap, Blues Brothers and The Wonders, to family friendly fakers like the Monkees, Alvin and the Chipmunks and the Partridge Family, fake bands are sometimes even more beloved than real bands themselves. Which make-believe music group will David and Felicia pick for their Top 5, and will any of them match the list of guest expert Matt Prigge? Matt Prigge is a film journalist and professor based in Brooklyn. He's the former film editor of the Metro newspaper, and has written for The Village Voice, Vulture, The Guardian, Filmmaker Magazine, Philadelphia Weekly, and Uproxx. He teaches film and television at NYU and at Temple University and he gets along well with cats.

Kirsten Johnson’s new DICK JOHNSON IS DEAD is a rumination on memory, death, and movie illusion, one that brings the veteran “cameraperson” in front of the lens, alongside her titular father. In that, it’s reminiscent of an earlier essay film with a strongly autobiographical bent, and a similar fixation on what remains after we’re gone: Orson Welles’ F FOR FAKE. In this half of our pairing of the two films, we debate how — or whether — Johnson’s film successfully skirts exploitation of its central subject, before diving into how these two films each tackle matters of authenticity, illusion, and making art in the face of death. Plus, Your Next Picture Show, where we share recent filmgoing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your radar Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about F FOR FAKE, DICK JOHNSON IS DEAD, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.  **Show Notes** Works Cited: •”’We Think the Audience is Smarter Than Us’: Kirsten Johnson on Making Another Personal and Original Film With ‘Dick Johnson Is Dead,’ by Matt Prigge (filmmakermagazine.com) • “Documentarian Kirsten Johnson on Fake-Killing Her Own Dad (Over and Over) in Dick Johnson Is Dead,” by Rachel Handler (vulture.com) Your Next Picture Show: • Genevieve: Banksy’s EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP • Scott: Jacques Cluzaud, Michel Debats, and Jacques Perrin’s WINGED MIGRATION • Keith: The Tobolowsky Files podcast • Tasha: Walt Dohrn’s TROLLS WORLD TOUR Outro Music: Oingo Boing, “Dead Man’s Party” Learn more about your ad choices.

February 17, 2020 - Matt Prigge

Join our hosts David Fedor and Joe Wichryk as they do their best to narrow down the Top 5 Movie Quotes with the help of film expert Matt Prigge. Remember, that in the end "There Can Be Only One."

On today's show, Matt Prigge. Matt has written about film since the late 1990s, originally at The Philadelphia Weekly, then for four years as the film editor at The Metro, the free commuter paper that has editions in New York City, Boston and Philadelphia. Matt is a particularly engaging writer with an unusually firm grasp on a wide range of cinema, finding what is worth celebrating in everything from low-grade action films to finessing the metaphors in the work of Lars Von Trier. We get rolling on a tangent-rich conversation but also chart and mourn the decline of independent weekly newspapers, that served the variety of cultural function for city dwellers until the new millennium when many of their services could be transferred easily to the internet. Across the country those papers have withered and died since the internet's rise and lost is the paper's role as a magnet that brought journalists and artists under one roof to share ideas and energy. Along the way we also discuss growing up in Mechanicsburg PA, Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray, Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom,” Richard Lester, The Beatles “Help!” Fellini meets Michael Jackson, Stanley Donen. Woody Allen, the cinema of Calista Flockhart. The politics of “Die Hard,” TheArchers - Powell and Pressburger, the late films of Billy Wilder, John Huston, the key to Tarantino. the late Alan Rickman, “listicals,” “Smokey & The Bandit,” writing about The Marvel Universe. “Twin Peaks: The Return,” Steven Soderburgh, Frederic Wiseman and Matt's new job teaching at NYU.

On today's show, NYC film critics, Caroline Golum and Matt Prigge, of Blue Velvet fame make their glorious return to Flixwise. In their previous appearance they discussed David Lynch's 1986 neo-noir, and so we thought it would be appropriate to stick with the freshman dorm-room milieu and talk about the other 69th film on the Sight and Sound Critics' poll, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982). They join host, Lady P (as well as Lady P's new school chum and fellow adventurer in grad school, Lilly Holman) in pondering the various philosophical elements of Scott's cinematic universe, and admiring the seamless fusion of several disparate genre film styles into the production design. From there, the panel starts making baseless predictions about the quality of the forthcoming Blade Runner sequel: Blade Runner 2049, which then leads to a discussion about the greatest sequels of all time. Lilly makes a stand for the Toy Story franchise as being the greatest of all time due to it's narrative coherence. Whereas Matt and Caroline mount a case for why "renegade sequels" aka sequels where the filmmakers make drastic divergences from the style or themes of the original work are the ones most worth watching.

The names of the French New Wave have become staples for both French Cinema and beyond. The critics of Cahiers Du Cinema like Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut, and Eric Rohmer all turned to filmmaking to put into practice the meanings they had pulled from their valorization of Hollywood Cinema. But the most passionaite of those critics, and perhaps the most creative of those filmmakers was Jacques Rivette, who passed away on January 29th at the age of 87. In this new podcast, former guests of the show (Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, Miriam Bale, and Matt Prigge) join in a roundtable discussion of the critic and filmmaker. They analyze his films, his writings, and his attention to collaboration, all of which made him a wholly unique individual in the history of cinema. Torn between his obsessions with realism and fantasy, Rivette captured the essence of the medium's paradoxical specificity. 0:00-3:33 Opening3:33-28:18 Rivette Discussion Part 129:00-33:09 Sponsorship Section33:47-1:02:30 Rivette Discussion Part 21:02:34-1:05:07 Close / Outtakes

On Thursday, April 4th, 2013, the film critic Roger Ebert passed away at the age of 70. It was hard to deny the influence of someone who was easily the most recognizable film critic of all time, so Peter felt compelled to dedicate an entire episode to his legacy and work. For this special episode of the podcast, Keith Uhlich, Matt Prigge, Kenji Fujishima, and Godfrey Cheshire all join Petter for a discussion of his life, work, and legacy of its legend. The topics run far and wide, from his honest writing style, to the critics he plucked and championed, to his reflections of life and death, and even his own admittance of occasional failure with certain films and filmmakers. The five dig into the times they encountered Ebert (some in person and some online), and attempt to honor someone who will be with them forever. 

Sorry for the lateness, but I've been fighting off a sinus infection -- or maybe it's a tumor. Nevertheless, I feel OK enough to finally post today's Crizzlecast. On this episode, I talk my old buddy, Philadelphia Weekly film scribe (and disappointed cinephile) Matt Prigge. We talk about his recent move from Philly to New York, how he's enjoying the movie scene in the Big Apple and what movies did he enjoy at this year's New York Film Festival. And, for reasons I still can't figure out, we end up talking about The Room and Superman III. Just roll with it, as Steve Winwood would say. 

In this special bonus episode of *THE LAST (12 minutes) OF THE MOHICANS* , Matt Prigge and I discuss dwelling on the details and nuances of Wes Studi’s incredible performance as Magua. *ABOUT MATT PRIGGE:* Film writer and academic.

In the season 2 finale of MyMacDLife, David Wolf joins as a guest host. David Wolf is the CEO and founder of Audivita Studios, the producers of this podcast series. David is joined by Matt Prigge, lead casting director at Audivita Studios, and Meghan Elizabeth Tauck, co-author with William Douglas Horton of Living in a Time of Dying: Cries of Grief, Rage, Love, and Hope.In this segment, you'll get an inside look into the world of audiobooks as our guests explore the profound impact of audio storytelling, for you and others living with macular degeneration, including Meghan's co-author, William, who was recently diagnosed with MacD.To begin this episode, Meghan speaks about her writing process, how she started her writing career and what she intended to accomplish. She recalls how her work stemmed from a series of conversations with William in 2020 that evolved into a book.  Presenting their ideas as a dialectic, Meghan organized their separately written chapters in relation to one another. The audiobook was intended to mirror this structure. To maintain the two authors' distinct voice quality, Audivita Studios produced the Living in a Time of Dying audiobook as a hybrid model, combining author narration with the performance of a professional voice actor, cast by Matt Prigge.  Next, Matt walks us through the key considerations factored into casting any audiobook project: tone of voice, personality, and certain “intangible qualities.” Namely, the right person for the role comes down to the project and what the author finds important.Next, David, Meghan, and Matt discuss the impact of audiobooks on accessibility, especially for the low-vision community. Meghan presents a philosophical perspective, saying different ways of perceiving contribute to a better world. Accessibility means more people get to participate in this collective world-building experience. Branching from this, Matt contemplates the power of the spoken word, from primeval storytelling to the new, digital age.Next, David and Matt return to the topic of audiobook casting for non-fiction versus fiction books. It all comes down to an actor's particular skill set. Whether casting a single voice or multiple actors, both approaches come with creative challenges and exciting opportunities. Meghan shares her experience with the audition cycle.As the conversation unfolds, Meghan shares a letter from William addressed to our audience. The 70-year-old philosopher was recently diagnosed with wet macular degeneration. In addition, his mother had MacD, and unfortunately, without treatment she became functionally blind. His open letter is a reflection on writing and the power of the spoken word to connect people. This leads to a conversation about its deep history and the intimacy inherent to audio.Meghan closes the podcast encouraging us to reexamine and challenge disability labels. For those who are struggling with MacD and grappling with vision loss, she underscores the gifts brought through the myriad ways of perceiving and participating together in this world.Recommended Resources:- https://a.co/d/bMSX1BO- http://www.supportsight.org/- http://www.mymacdlife.org/- https://www.vispero.com/- https://www.freedomscientific.com/- https://www.freedomscientific.com/products/lowvision/omnireader/- https://www.enhancedvision.com/- https://us.optelec.com/- https://www.healthyvisionassociation.com/- https://www.novartis.com/- https://www.centricbank.com/- https://www.hinklestein.com/- https://www.maculardegeneration.net/- https://www.mymacularjournal.com/- https://www.facebook.com/groups/mymacularjournal/- https://www.health-union.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/mymacdlife-macular-degeneration-podcast/donations
