Folge #219: FingernailsKann man Liebe wirklich messen? Freundschafts-Hymnen, Serien-Enttäuschungen und philosophische Fragen an die Liebe! Den Anfang macht eine kleine Enttäuschung: Timo hat die neueste Staffel von Love, Death & Robots gesehen und war, bis auf wenige Ausnahmen (die größenwahnsinnige Katze!), eher unterwältigt. Viele Folgen wirkten belanglos und schnell produziert, auch die Red Hot Chili Peppers als Marionetten konnten da nicht viel retten. Zeljko hat nur kurz reingeschnuppert und teilt den ersten Eindruck. Schade, denn die früheren Staffeln hatten oft echte Perlen zu bieten! Ein kleiner Hoffnungsschimmer könnte Amazons Pendant Secret Levels sein, auch wenn Timo da als Nicht-Gamer noch skeptisch ist. Das führt zu einer kleinen, aber wichtigen Diskussion über Fake News und Gerüchte in der Filmwelt. Ob angebliche Filmprojekte mit Jamie Foxx als Mike Tyson oder falsche Todesmeldungen – Timo plädiert dringend dafür, Informationen immer gegenzuchecken (IMDb ist euer Freund!) und nicht blind jedem Social-Media-Post zu vertrauen. Doch dann kommt der Film der Woche, den Zeljko rausgesucht hat und der beide tief beeindruckt hat: Fingernails. Die Prämisse ist faszinierend und erinnert an eine Black Mirror-Folge: Was, wenn ein simpler Test mit einem Fingernagel verrät, ob zwei Menschen füreinander bestimmt sind? In dieser Welt arbeitet Anna (großartig: Jessie Buckley) in einem "Liebesinstitut", obwohl sie selbst in einer zertifizierten Beziehung ist. Der Film wirft tiefgründige Fragen auf: Was ist Liebe? Kann man sie messen? Was passiert, wenn das Testergebnis nicht mit dem eigenen Gefühl übereinstimmt? Und wer ist schuld, wenn Liebe endet? Fingernails ist ein langsames, melancholisches Melodrama mit Lanthimos-Vibes, das ohne Effekthascherei auskommt und stattdessen auf starke Schauspieler und eine intensive Atmosphäre setzt. Timo und Zeljko diskutieren leidenschaftlich über die philosophischen Implikationen, die gesellschaftliche Erwartungshaltung an Beziehungen und die Erkenntnis, dass Liebe sich verändern kann, ohne dass jemand einen Fehler gemacht hat. Ein Film, der zum Nachdenken anregt und lange nachwirkt – eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die sich auf ein ruhiges, aber intensives Kinoerlebnis einlassen wollen. Eine Folge, die von Serien-Frust bis hin zu existenziellen Fragen über die Liebe reicht – und am Ende doch wieder beim Kern des Filmemachens landet: Geschichten, die uns berühren und zum Denken anregen. Also, Ohren auf und ab in die Welt von "Once Upon A Time In Cinema - Der Filmpodcast" – jeden Donnerstag um 18:00 Uhr, überall wo es Podcasts gibt!

How do dramatic questions create tension?  In this episode, Stu and Chas delve into the cultural phenomenon of ADOLESCENCE. We try to find the craft tools that have made the show so compelling and such a catalyst for conversation.  In particular, we breakdown how the show's emphasis on questions creates tension: not just tension through plot, but tension through character, and ultimately tension through theme. We analsyse the show episode-by-episode, and discuss how the overall structure skilfully shifts from a plot-heavy police procedural towards a thematic-heavy melodrama and the impact that has on our experience. We discuss how the decision to shoot the show in a series of “oners” affects the writing and what tools we can take from that to apply to our own writing (even if we're not writing it to be a one-shot): POV characters, handovers, French scenes, emotional events, and more.

On this episode of the podcast, host Dr Pasquale Iannone explores the little-known early films of one of the most influential filmmakers of all time, German director Douglas Sirk. Sirk is synonymous with one particular genre. His most famous films, such as Magnificent Obsession (1954), All That Heaven Allows (1955), Written on the Wind (1956) and Imitation of Life (1959) are glossy, luxurious Technicolor melodramas which would go on to inspire the likes of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Todd Haynes and many others. But there is more to Sirk than melodrama - he made war films, crime movies, historical dramas and comedies in a career spanning over 25 years and several countries. Earlier this year, Eureka Entertainment released a box set titled Sirk in Germany (1934 - 1935), a collection which takes us all the way back to the beginning of Sirk's film career. The set includes beautiful restorations of his first three features as well as several short films, all of which were made in the early years of the Nazi regime. Alongside bonus material from noted film historians Sheldon Hall and Tim Bergfelder, there are three audio commentaries from the University of Edinburgh's very own David Melville Wingrove. David is a Teaching Fellow at the University's Centre for Open Learning where he teaches hugely popular courses on both film and literature, specialising in dark and fantastical themes and styles. He is also a prolific writer, regularly contributing to publications such as Senses of Cinema. David and Pasquale discuss Sirk's first short film Two Greyhounds (1934) and his first feature April! April! (1935), both light comedies centring on mistaken identity which skewer - mostly with affection - the mores of the German middle class. David helps to place the films in historical context and he also tells Pasquale why Sirk, who was very much one of the leading lights of the German theatre in the late 20s and early 30s, decided to make the move into filmmaking.

ENTRADILLA: El de 2024 fue un poco su verano junto a Charli xcx en un huracán llamado 'Brat'. Ya había tenido el suyo propio con su disco Solar Power, tan incomprendido como poco lucido. El de 2025 le pertenecerá sin duda. Lorde regresa oficialmente con 'What Was That', una canción que suena mucho más a 'Melodrama' que a su último disco. Dicho por ella misma es "el sonido de su renacimiento" y la crónica de un desamor que la ha transformado.Playlist:Lorde - What Was ThatAddison Rae - Headphones OnYaya Bey - dream girlSAULT - K.T.Y.W.SDurand Jones & The Indications - Flower MoonCurtis Harding - There She GoesTunde Adebimpe - PinstackAdrian Quesada, Angélica García - No JuegoBuscabulla - El CaminoMaria Usbeck - MantarrayaJudeline, Mc Morena - TÚ ET MOIrestinga - Free BabyMaria Somerville - SpringThe Cure - Alone (Four Tet Remix)Barry Can't Swim, O'Flynn - KimptonSwimming Paul, Zayden - Shine a LightEscuchar audio

Marco und Sebastian sprechen über DEN Shaw Brothers Film, der den Kurs des legendären Hong Kong Filmstudios bis zu seinem Ende nachhaltig prägen sollte. Chang Cheh definierte Action und Drama neu und entfachte beim Publikum einen unersättlichen Appetit für Melodrama, Martial-Arts und reichlich Filmblut! In „The One-Armed Swordsman“ wächst der junge Fang Gang (Jimmy Wang Yu) bei seinem Ziehvater, dem legendären Meister Qi, auf, doch da er nur der Sohn eines Leibwächters ist, verachten ihn seine Mitschüler - darunter die hochnäsige Tochter des Hauses. Bei einer Auseinandersetzung verliert Fang Gang seinen rechten Arm - und seinen Lebensmut. Als ihn die Bäuerin Xiao-Man aufnimmt, fasst er neuen Lebensmut. Doch bald schon zieht ein kalter Schatten der Gewalt über den Landstrich: Der Long-Armed Devil und seine Kohorten planen, Meister Qi und alle seine Adepten zu töten. Nun muss Fang Gang neue Techniken lernen, um seinen Ziehvater zu schützen und dabei seinen ehrlichen Wunsch nach Frieden nicht aus den Augen verlieren.Weitere Links zu unseren Websites und Social Mediahttps://linktr.ee/filmkammerEmails könnt ihr uns an filmkammer@buddelfisch.de sendenHört die Filmkammer überall wo es Podcasts gibt!

We're thrilled to be joined by Natalie Ng, a huge Edward Yang fan and friend of the podcast, to dive into Yang's feature debut, That Day, On The Beach! Natalie, who works at the Asian Film Archive, tells us about AFA's recent Edward Yang retrospective (complete with a physical exhibition) and shares her deep love for Yang's work.Together, we explore the film's place in Yang's filmography, its inventive narrative structure, and how it set the stage for his later masterpieces. Natalie highlights the agency of female characters in the film, while Ben argues that De-wei should have been hotter. Wilson leads us in discussing Christopher Doyle's first feature work as a cinematographer and the stylistic choices of the film, and we very importantly discuss Sylvia Chang's iconic perm, and whether girlbossing is an ideal ending for Yang's female characters.Links:Natalie's Letterboxd review on That Day, On The BeachFollow Natalie on X (@schatzepages), Letterboxd (@wednesdaydreams), and read her writing on filmedinether.com.That Day, On Our FREE patreon, discord server, and our socials @ www.deepcutpod.comTimestamps:(00:00) Intro(11:17) General Reactions(25:18) Natalie's personal reaction to the film(29:47) Melodrama and female agency(34:35) Edward Yang's “Women without men” + Digression into other Yang films(41:49) Ending of That Day(45:47) Qing-qing and Jia-sen's roles in the story(50:52) Jia-li's love interests(54:40) Tone and filmic style(01:02:55) Other films That Day relates to(01:07:15) Babies(01:10:32) The Perm and costumes(01:15:04) Yang's early fascination with women's stories(01:21:36) Wrap-up

We have a special treat for you today! Vanessa recently guested on Hannah's other pop-culture podcast, Material Girls, to talk about The Notebook with Hannah and Marcelle. It was so good, we wanted to make sure you knew about it. And if you love hearing Vanessa, Hannah, and Marcelle in conversation – good news, there's another episode out there! Vanessa was on Material Girls last year to talk about Bridgerton. Material Girls Episode Description: She's back! Beloved podcaster and author Vanessa Zoltan (she/her) joins Hannah and Marcelle to dig into one of the most famous "weepies" of the 21st century: The Notebook (2004). If you cry at the line "If you're a bird, I'm a bird," have the phrase "What do you want?" ringing in your head, or regularly view the 2005 MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss, then this episode is for you. Hannah first contextualizes The Notebook in early aughts America (think post 9/11 conservative politics) and Vanessa offers some info about Nicholas Sparks, author of The Notebook. They then jump into a theory section all about melodrama! You may be familiar with the concept — perhaps you've even accused a friend or family member of being melodramatic — but can you really define it? What about the idea of "a Melodrama of Failure?" Hannah turns to Elisabeth Robin Anker's book, Orgies of Feeling: Melodrama and the Politics of Freedom, to bolster her thesis and the episode ends with a conversation about the relationship between the American Dream, sovereignty, Christian conservatism and heterosexuality. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Breakups can feel like the end of the world, but they're really just the beginning of something better (even though you may not see that light at the end of the tunnel yet). In this episode, I break down why turning your breakup into a dramatic, life-ending event only makes it harder to move on. Instead of wallowing in sadness and replaying the past, it's time to treat your breakup like a reset - a chance to reassess, rebuild, and create a new version of yourself.  Listen NOW!  Then, check out my book "Don't Be DESPERATE: Get Over Your Breakup with CLARITY & DIGNITY" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3R2EHiz AND, let's take this a step further...

Happy new year! FYI we had a few tech issues that meant some chunks of audio didn't record properly this week, so apologies for the chats that might stop or start suddenly, and also the wacky audio levels. Ghost in the machine!!This week, Kate and Brodie talk about doing karaoke, should we watch I'm Not There again?, last we saw each other Brodie was going to a hen's do and Kate went to a kick-on at a house owned by someone whose dog is Top Chef's instagram friend (sure!) and to a bar called Disco Pantera, Brodie got a DM NDA for a hot Melbourne cocktail, the dog who works at the Park Hyatt is retiring this month, does Melbourne need more breakfast spots (not cafes!).We watched a lot of stuff over the break! Kate watched The Lady Vanishes, Brodie's going to the movies again to see A Different Man and Lee, Brodie saw An Unmarried Woman and tries to do the Nosferatu voice (sorry), she's confused the Lighthouse and Swiss Army Man (and also confused that movie's farting corpse with one about a propellor penis WHOOPS sorry don't @ her). They both watched Heretic (Kate's nephew's introduction to Hugh Grant was the Oompa Loompa in Wonka), The Room Next Door, Anora, All We Imagine as Light and Better Man – shockingly we have very different responses to Monkey Robbie Williams. Kate also watched The Lost Daughter finally – the audio of that bit cut out SORRY!! Brodie saw Wicked for a third time (hehe) and Kate's been visiting Somebody Somewhere and loved Bad Sisters season 2 – BL less so.

This episode is a little smaller in scope than usual. But like one my great podcasting heroes, my ambition for this show is to tell the history of film without any gaps. We cover two examples of an important, though ultimately short lived, sub-genre: The Patriotic Melodrama. We discuss and analyze the 1916 film Alsace, directed by Henri Pouctal, and the 1917 Mothers of Frances, directed by René Hervi .

Ho Ho Ho Ho-ello there!It has come upon us once again: the Christmas season. And as was aforementioned, its getting darker. We must let you know that this was not planned... or our tolerance levels are so out of whack that we've blackened our souls and have detached ourselves from societal norms...Annnnyyyywwwaaaayyyyyy, there's nothing more Christmas-sy than Lars Von Trier! And this film; starring Stellan Skarsgård and Emily Watson, in her first film role, lets us know that we're in for a rough ride for a good 2 hours and 40 mins. Thankfully, it's all set on an "unnamed Scottish Isle" where everyone's accents are all over the place, the sideburns are "pure 70s", the medical equipment looks outdated, and it's all brown. And that means we're in the past.DESCEND INTO THE DARKNESS WITH US ALL!

Today, this is what's important: Food in Australia, Adam's birthday, theater, Lord Of The Rings, The Substance, American Valor, influencer horror film, & more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Travis Stern's new book, "Ballplayers on Stage: Baseball, Melodrama, and Theatrical Celebrity in the Deadball Era" (Univ. of Tennessee Press, 2024) explores the relationship between professional baseball and professional theater in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Stern joins us in this episode to talk about his book and the how baseball and the theater contributed to the rise of the American culture, culminating with Babe Ruth's emergence as a national hero in the early 1920s. Stern is an Associate Professor of Theater Arts at Bradley University.Travis Stern on Bluesky (@travisstern.bsky.social)Travis Stern at Bradley UniversityIn Part Two, Craig went to a Duster show and talks about Duster, the show and the unusual opening act, Dirty Art Club.Errata: At one point Stern mentions seeing the "Yankees and Mets."

Diane chats with comedian and all-around wonderful human Ron Funches to talk LOOT and the business of comedy. Andy and Diane catch up on INDUSTRY's flawless season (so far), Netflix's THE PERFECT COUPLE, Netflix's MY WORST EX, the return of TELL ME LIES, and why everyone needs to watch FX's new comedy hit ENGLISH TEACHER.

On this week's show, June Thomas (author of A Place of Our Own: Six Spaces That Shaped Queer Women's Culture) and Dan Kois (author of Hampton Heights) fill in for Dana and Stephen. First, the panel tackles It Ends With Us starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni (the latter also directed and produced the film.) It's a big, glossy melodrama laced with a domestic violence plot, and is the first film adaptation of BookTok star author Colleen Hoover. Then, the three explore Time Bandits, a new television show from Jermaine Clement, Iain Morris, and Taika Watiti starring, among others, a sublime Lisa Kudrow. The Apple TV+ series is based on Terry Gilliam's 1981 film of the same name and follows a ragtag bunch of bandits as they thieve and travel through time. Finally, in light of its 20-year anniversary, the trio considers Yelp – does the crowd-sourcing review platform still hold power in 2024? This conversation was inspired by Jaya Saxena's Eater piece, “Everybody Gets a Star.” On this week's exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, the panel goes on the hunt for the wonderful, elusive “perfect cracker.” Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: JUNE: A very well-reviewed book from two years ago: Katheine Rundell's Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne. DAN: The Ministry for the Future: A Novel by Kim Stanley Robinson. JULIA: First Class Tailors on Wilshire Blvd., which boasts a 4.7 Star rating on Yelp. Podcast production by Jared Downing.

Éric Rohmer ends his famous "Tales of the Four Seasons" with "Autumn Tale". It's a French romance comedy about a woman who operates a vineyard, thinks about the idea of dating again and it focuses on the middle age folks, which is a bit different from the other season films. Magali's friends decide to take matters into their own hands and get matches for her. At this wedding party, it all goes down and it's an iconic scene itself. I love the film for it's rich and engaging screenplay and the actors who make these characters very real, especially when they conversate which is a huge strength that Rohmer. This film gives us insight to people who are older and wiser. We see a perspective that's almost too foreign for us especially if we dont match the same age. I can wacth this film all day and so should you.I give it four out of four tokes.#ericrohmer #filmreview #autumntale

"Todo Sobre Mi Madre" is one of Pedro Almovodvar's great films especially of the 90s. It's a complex drama surrounding a mother dealing with her only son's death and actually doing something about it. She goes into a spiral of events that eventually answers deeper questions of her past lives. It's almost that thing where you can't lead into the future unless you can let go of the past. A great film because it's full of laughs and legitimate drama. Thw riting is excellent because gets sucked in and the cast that highlights it makes you wonder why they haven't been on the big screen. You can see greatness even from the small, local stage.Four out of four tokes.#allaboutmymother #pedroalmodovar #filmreview

This Wednesday episode bounces all over the place with no real flow or plan. Andy and Brendan begin with a few unsubstantiated rumors, discuss the power of Dan Pohl, the absurd equipment advantages of today, and read some tweets from the Sun Day Red account. Then they get into some scuttlebutt on a couple LIV topics, namely an endangered species and some discontent with teammates. They wander about the results from U.S. Open sectional qualifying, outlining some of the better stories and the variety of venues that produce different types of qualifiers. At the Memorial, they discuss Jack's gripe about the dates, and how it feels like the same song from him, even if he's not totally wrong. They also discuss the field and a potential mid-life crisis cutthroat corner candidate. They close with news of Xander Schauffele letting loose on Jay Monahan with some fiery quotes about him taking charge, standing up, and leading. 

Welcome to the "Epic of Marcos." In this tale of a family that's larger than life, Ferdinand Marcos, the former dictator of the Philippines, is at the center. But the figures that surround him are just as important: Imelda, his wife and muse; Bongbong, his heir; and the United States, his faithful sidekick. The story of the Marcos family is a blueprint for authoritarianism, laying out clearly how melodrama, paranoia, love, betrayal and a hunger for power collide to create a myth capable of propelling a nation. Today on the show, the rise, fall, and resurrection of a dynasty — and what that means for democracy worldwide.To access bonus episodes and listen to Throughline sponsor-free, subscribe to Throughline+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org/throughline.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
